instructionaldesign which (a) describes a well-defined set of skills, (b) provides models which demonstratethe effectives of these skills, (c) opportunities to practice skills, and (d) provides feedback totrainees as they practice [33]. Error management training (EMT) recognizes that errors areinevitable, and that they provide useful feedback while learning [32]. EMT does not seek tominimize errors such as more procedural approaches. Providing a problem statement andallowing the trainees to explore the problem with structured guidance will allow trainees toreflect on and manage errors. The trainers can then provide error management instruction tofacilitate deeper learning which will contribute to the transfer of the knowledge to the workenvironment [18], [32
valuableinstructional tool that can accommodate diverse learning styles of 21st century students.(Watkins, 2005). It is important to acknowledge that the intellectual curiosity of studentscan be increased so that they learn better when alternative modes of informationprocessing are made available at college campuses. Dr. Walter B. Barbe, a nationallyknown scholar and authority in the fields of reading and learning disabilities has shownthat perceptual modality styles provides an indication of an individual’s dominantlearning mode. This is where the intellectual curiosity of the learner thrives. The degreeof processing speed, accuracy and retention that an individual is able to accomplish whenencountering information depends upon to what extent the medium in
