- Description: Trade Union education ia not like going back to school: it ia based on the belief that we should build on the ideas and experiences of members by working collectively, in small groups, to find solutions to our problems at work and in the Union. People learn by "doing" - not by sitting still and listening. So we use active methods of learning where everyone is encouraged to take part.

Education Methods - Handling complex information

- Description: This note looks briefly at a key problem confronting trade union educators: how to handle topics which involve complex information. There are several different parts to this problem: The range of topics facing trade union educators is immense, and growing all the time. Safety, pensions, compulsory tendering, new technology, the list seems to be endless. Trade union education must develop an approach that allows us to take all these and other issues on board in an effective and rational way. Many participants on trade union courses don't have highly- developed 'information skills', such as looking up a reference book, using an index, or gutting a document for key points. There is a shortage of tutors with detailed knowledge of complex topics, and Of subject experts with educational experience.

- Description: This note is a practical guide to what role playing is and how to do it on trade union courses. 'Role playing' is not just a method of education: it is something you do every day. One minute, you're a parent , seeing the kids off to school. Then you're off to work, and you're a driver, passenger, or pedestrian. Go to the branch meeting and you are a union activist. So in your daily life you take on a number of different roles, and get used to switching between them. Used properly, role plays can help you to run a lively, active, arid effective course. Role playing involves everyone, helps them to develop skills, and gives them practice in applying Information to problems. Because your course is a 'safe' environment where you do not pay a price for making n ml stake, a role play can give people confidence in trying out new ideas. So you could try to get participants to Improve the way they run union meetings; talk to members, management, or journal lets; or work on a negotiating team.
