Why we need PE
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
Why The Auxiliary Public Education Program Is So Important?
In 2010 four NFL football players took a one day fishing trip off the coast of Florida.
Three men drowned and one survived.
The official cause of the
accident was anchoring
to the stern.
Actual Incident Recovery Photo
If just one of the men had taken an ABS course, it is probable all four would have survived.

Active vs passive
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
Active vs. Passive Learning
It is safe to assume only a few of you got that last question correct.
If I tell you the answer, that is Passive learning.
If you search out the answer yourself it is Active learning
Lecturing results in Passive Learning.

Making It Permanent
Activities that can hard wire the brain to prevent forgetting.
Here are five:
1.
Time: Vacation for a month.
2. Emotion: Serious car accident just passing through.
3. Interest: You read of the poverty in Albania.
4. Active Learning: After all this talk about Albania you look it up.
5. Kindness: An Albanian citizen extends you exceptional kindness.

KNOWLEDGE
CONTROL
The new instruction must link with previous learning. This is the crux of why
interaction is critical. You must know some of what the students know in order
to assist them to make the links that make the instruction meaningful.

Course killer

A Course Killer “Boredom”
If a presentation is boring students
actually can’t hear what is being said.
How far into a boring presentation
before shut down? Just minutes.
How you introduce what you will
cover is crucial to audience participation.
•
Students must see you as knowledgeable and believe you are going
to cover material that is both useful and interesting to them personally.
This will set the stage for the rest of the course.
What’s in it for me

Intro to new PE class
Why are you taking this course?
1.
What is the appropriate sound signal when boating in fog?
2. What does a scope of 7 to 1 mean?
3. When 2 boats are approaching head on, who has the right of way
and what is the most appropriate course of action?
4. On a river chart you often see RDB, (right descending bank),
what does that mean?
5. What is the difference between a Day Mark and a Buoy?
6. On your vhf marine radio what does the DSC button mean?

Too much info
28
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
New Research Findings
Dr. Dimoka, at Temple University, found the more information you have
on any topic, the less likely you are to make the right decision.
29
Ground Covering
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
The Ground Covering Complex
Instructors often believe they need
to tell the students everything they
know on a particular topic.
Limiting the material to be covered and deciding how the material should be presented
may be the two most important variables for improving the quality of instruction.
Learning requires active thinking and processing time to make connections.
Key word
30
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
Deciding What to Teach
“Key
Word Search”
•
Any word you determine to be of great value. Focus should be on
preventing accidents. You choose the topics and what to emphasize.
•
Some material that is not critical to saving lives can be read by the students.
What not to teach
31
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
Deciding What Not To Teach
When teaching
About Boating Safely,
“Many believe there is
too much to remember”.
If all the notes are used
with ABS, you will have
to change the subject
every 45 seconds.
Deciding what not to teach is just as important as deciding what to teach.
32
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
Key words
Using Key Words
ABS is divided into seven chapters. Look for key words in the chapter that will become your
focus. Keywords should be ranked. Words related to fatalities or preventing accidents have
the highest ranking.
Chapter 1, Know Your Boat
Key Word Search:
Port & Starboard
Transom
Freeboard
Draft
Beam
PWC & Lanyard
Length
Types of Hulls & Engines
33
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
If you focus on these key words you
will have covered the most significant
aspects of the chapter.
As an example, words in red are
important and should be emphasized.
Using Key Words
Chapter 2, Before Getting Underway
Key word search:
Capacity plate
Float Plan
Pre-Departure check
Accessories
Fueling
34
2011ITWorkshop
(7 pages)
Trailering is not on the key word list.
Trailering is mostly a collection of facts that
can best be done by independent study.
Providing a sequential checklist handout is
very effective.
This may be the place to discuss the time
and type of boating experience for each
class member. Where do they boat and
what kind of boat to they have?
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
Using Key Words
Chapter 3, Navigating the Waterways (13 pages)
Key Word Search:
Rules of the road
Give way
Stand on
Meeting head on
This is an important chapter and deserves a significant
amount of time. It is also the place where the material
can be adapted to the specific region of the country.
The instruction must be interactive and suited to local
conditions.

Regional Conditions
Start By Using Regional Models
Boating Conditions
Boating Offshore and in the Gulf, requires great attention be paid to;
Tides, Waves, Changing weather conditions,
Distance from land, water conditions, Communications
Coastal Navigation
Great Lakes boating requires great attention be paid to:
Large waves, Extreme weather conditions
Distance from land, Communications
Navigation.
Inland
River boating is concerned with:
Fog,Fast moving water, locks and dams, lightning
Congestion and rules of the road
Aids to Navigation
Simple illustrations
36

Simple Visual Demonstrations
With the use of items found around the home you can improve the effectiveness of instruction.
The topic is Backfire Flame Arrestors. Many class members don’t understand the concept.
Simple Solution:
Use a kitchen mesh strainer and a candle.
Slowly move a lighted candle up into the
over turned strainer and watch what
happens to the flame. It is dispersed but
does not go though the open mesh strainer.
Students will remember this demonstration.
Boat
37
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
More Simple Examples
When teaching About Boating Safely,
bring a small boat on a trailer and put
it in the parking lot near the classroom.
Take the class outside and let them
touch and walk around the boat.
When covering chapters 1 and 2 the students can see the transom, find the
freeboard and touch the gunnels. For new boaters this is a valuable experience.
Teaching Aids
38
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
Teaching Aids
The chart has information you don’t need. Create a simpler chart with just the details you need
to make your point. Compare this chart with the one on the next page
39
2011ITWorkshop
Copyright 2011 Coast Guard Auxiliary Association, Inc.
Keep it simple
•
The use of a simple hand drawn
chart can cut the learning time in half.
•
It cuts down on stimulus overload and
allows the brain to process less
information.
•
Simple drawings can be a more
effective teaching tool than pictures.
Keep it light
40
2011ITWorkshop

Keeping it Light
I tell the class I have to
keep in good shape so I
can do all my stunts.
This is fun!
It won’t hurt much!

War stories in the classroom can be one of the most effective tools available.

Illustrates a point
It is much easier for all of us to remember interesting stories.

Instruction
• Students do not learn isolated facts and details,
they learn ideas and concepts.
• Explain the total picture, before the parts.
•
Let details come from experience
Relationships
53

Knowing Relationships - Leads to Understanding
 Do not assume the learner knows what you are talking
about.
 Have the student explain the ideas and concepts in his
or her own words.

Solutions?
The 2011 white paper on Education was
the rallying call for all of us who teach
for the Auxiliary.
We need to continue to improve our
instructional strategies and materials.
We need to take a new approach in the
area of marketing and advertising.
Working together is the best solution.
