PRACTICAL SKILLS FOR INDIVIDUALLY POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT: SOME CONCEPTS AND OBSERVATIONS FROM THE TRAINING FOR DEVELOPING MULTIMEDIA INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

Abstract

     The current article was aimed to present a brief collection of concepts related to practical skills from relevant literature review and document synthesis. According to the synthesis, the definition, the learning processes, the emergence, and the measurement of practical skills including the examples of measuring tools were obtained. In addition, there were some results from transferring experiences and observing the training for developing the individual potentials about multimedia-instructional-materials creation to educational personnel in a province. It was found that practical skills have been essential for developing individual potentials. Therefore, to organize training effectively, trainees should be offered learning activities that enabled them to construct their own concepts from self-practice, integrate various activities with practical skills including learn about the processes that could be applied in the daily-life situations. This was because practical skills encouraged trainees to be confident in their knowledge and skills. Additional information from observing the training was revealed that if the concept of GPAAS 5 STEPS is applied systematically and precisely in the training including various activities, this will probably be a great development of individual potentials in terms of communicative skills and multimedia-instructional-materials creation.
