Introduction to SAR 21 Weapon Training

Soldiers checking clear their weapon

THEORY

Participants are given a laptop to go through the Self Directed Program on Stripping of SAR 21 weapon on within two hours. The location will be in the bunk. Trainers will be on site if students have any clarifications or doubts.

PLANNING

Trainers will plan activities and organize the program in the way which there is peer to peer learning, self-directed learning and peer to peer feedback and sharing. They will be working in teams of two. 

ACTION

Students will understand the lesson through SDL. After understanding the theory part, students will do a step by step practice with the use of the SDL program. Thereafter, the students will practice on the weapon. They will learnt and do peer to peer assessment on each other. The peers will feedback to each other on what to be improved

REVIEW

A test will be given to the participant individually to assess their proficiency of stripping the weapon. After the test, a after action review will be conducted to the participants on their proficiency and also for the participants to get back to the trainers on how to improve on the training methods.

Self-Directed Learning allows the participant to apply their past experience and knowledge in learning. Participants will learn and remember better if they learn on their own. 

Peer to peer assessment allows the participants to share their point of views on each other's proficiency. This will give the participants room to improve such as the stripping timing. 

Our intention for both learning activities are to give the participants opportunity to undergo what experiential learning.
