1. Introduction

Our project MOVE BEYOND focuses on cultural and physical activities to supplement educational and reintegration services There are various learning theories, such as behavioural psychology, cognitive and social psychology, and social constructivism. WithinMOVEBeyond,weassumethatthetrainingcoursesareperson-orientedandnot so much content-oriented. The role of the trainer, therefore, lies mainly in facilitating learningandobservingtheparticipantsthroughtheuseofinteractivetraining.

(Social)constructivismisaboutgivingmeaningtoknowledgethroughsocialprocesses.It isnotthelearningobjectivesthatareleading.Itisthelearningprocessoftheparticipants, giving personal meaning to their experiences. Learning mostly takes place in a social context, through interaction. The aim is to facilitate learning processes: support participantsinshapingtheirownlearninginordertogivepersonalmeaningtoreflection as a process of doubt, hesitation, confusion, perplexity, and deep thinking. Participants give personal meaning to learning experiences by mirroring them to others. In this learningprocess,youasatrainerwantcertainevents,interactionsandparticipationsto take place between participants in a relevant, challenging and stimulating learning environment.

Muchhasbeenwrittenabouttheprofile,roleandcompetenciesofatrainer.Regardingthe profile,withintheframeworkofthisproject,thefocusissetfromthemindsetof(social) constructivism in relation to the six theories described in the theoretical handbook of MOVE Beyond (Output 1). Those include the learning styles of David Kolb, the Multiple IntelligencesofHowardGardnerorthe‘whatandhowoflearning’ofGeorgeHein.Because thereisacloserelationshipbetweenthetrainer’sprofileandthemethodofsupervision, wealsorecommendthatyouconsultchapter5.–Practicalapplicationintraining–,inthe theoreticalhandbook.There,youwillfindallkindsofusefultipsthatcanhelpyoucarry outatrainingprogramme.

The description of the trainer’s profile presented here does not include the role as a facilitatorofdidacticteachingmethods,becauseinformationaboutthisparticularrolecan befoundinourtheoreticalhandbook.Neitherdowedescribetheroleofthetrainerasa designer of learning trajectories, blended learning trajectories and online training. The reasonforthisisthat,intheculturalandphysicalactivityguidelines(Output2and3)of thisproject,weprovideanoverviewofpossibleworkingstrategiesandtrainingcourses, whereby you have the freedom to create your own training by using individual componentsfromthevariousworkshops.

Here, we supplement the theoretical handbook by going deeper into the theories of Timothy Leary and Belbin, some parts from the Hoe-Boek voor de Trainer by Marcolien Huybers (2015), and others, resorting to various information sources, which include websites.

2. The trainer as a person

2.1.

How to develop as a trainer

Importantinyourroleasatraineriswhoyouareandwhatconnectsyoutothetrainer profession.Youaretheinstrumentyourself.Thebetteryouknowyourselfandthebetter youcan‘handle’yourself,thebetteryoucangivecontenttothetrainerprofession.What are your motivations, values, beliefs, qualities, knowledge, and behaviour? How do you dealwithtension,self-reflection,andself-development?

Developingyourselfasatrainerisapersonalprocess.Ithastodowithyourpersonality, your cultural background, your work experience, and with the moment you start as a trainer.Asatrainer,youhavetodealwithmanyaspectsandfindyourway:

➢ ona personal level(thinkingaboutyourownattitude,abouthowyoudoit,about dealingwithyourtension,howtomakecontact,howtodealwithyourlimits,etc.),

➢ on a content level (if I have sufficient control of the material, how to answer if participantsaskdifficultquestions,howtopreparemyselfwell,etc.),

➢ on a didactic level (which working methods are suitable, how to structure the training,etc.), on a process level (how to deal with the group phases, with giving feedback, confrontingandcomplimenting,etc.)

How you position yourself and how you engage in training, what you do and what you don’t,islargelydeterminedbywhoyouare.Itincludeseverythingthatyouhavelearned asapersonandthathasshapedyou,whatyoubelievein andwhatisimportanttoyou. Notonlyyourknowledgeandskillsbutalsoyourinspiration,yourconvictionsandvalues, and your qualities. That is why a large degree of self-knowledge is essential for you as trainer.Beconstantlyawarethatparticipantsmayseeyouasarolemodel.

Korthagen’s so-called ‘onion model’ provides insight into the mutual position of a behaviour-orientedandmeaning-orientedreflection.Thebehaviouralreflectiononyour behaviour and the interaction with the environmentislocatedontheoutsideofthe onion. This isvisibletoothers.Ifyouwant togodeeperandgettothecoreofyourself, youhavetoreflectinameaningfulway.You get further and further to the inside of the onion and eventually come across your ‘core qualities’ Core qualities are personal qualities such as flexibility, spontaneity, autonomy, self-confidence, empathy, analyticalskills,courage,andcreativity.

➢ Challenge: The positive opposite of the pitfall is the challenge, which is a good supplement to the core quality. It is a quality you often recognise and admire in others. The challenge provides more of a balance. Example: modest/invisible/expressive

It is based on a holistic typology of educatorrolesderivedfromKolb’sExperientialLearningTheory.

Educational Role Profile was created to help trainers understand the preferred training role and plan how they can adapt to training around the learning cycle. Educational Role Profiles emerge as a combination of training role preferences, beliefs about training and learning, goals of the educational process, preferred training style and educational practices. The trainer needs to be flexible andadaptablewhenitcomes to guiding trainees. They mustassumevariousrolesas a coach, facilitator, evaluator and a subject expert in order to achieve optimal guidance andresults

individually and adopt a collaborative, encouraging style. They help to create personal developmentplansandprovidefeedbackonperformance.

3.1.2. The role as a facilitator The facilitator’s job is to support everyone to do their best thinking. They create an environment where everyone is encouraged to participate, understand one another’s points of view, and share responsibility. In doing so, a group facilitator helps members lookforelegantsolutionsandbuildsustainableagreements. Trainingandfacilitatingare two different activities. They require some of the same skills and some different skills. Using cultural and physical interactions enables a trainer to create a safe and active environmentforparticipantstolearnandsharetheirexperienceseffectively.Itempowers the participants to own and be responsible for their progress.

3.1.3. The role as an evaluator

Training evaluation basically helps with the discovery of gaps in training and opportunities in training learners. It is an important process in determining training effectivenessandincheckingiftrainingprogrammesareindeedhelpinglearnersbecome goodatwhattheydo.

It collects information that can help determine improvements in training programmesandhelptrainersdecide if certain programmes should be discontinued. Theevaluationprocess is essential to assess training effectiveness and help improve quality.

There are various types of training you can use as an evaluator. Among them,wehavetheKirkpatrick’sFourlevelTrainingEvaluationModel. This four-levelprocesscanbeusedtoseek general information about the complexnatureofhowaneducational trainingprogrammeimpactslearners

5.1. The Competence Cycle

OneusefulmodelforlearningistheCompetenceCycle, afour-stagemodelintroducedby Noel Burch in the 1970s. This model can help not only participants but also trainers to identifytheircompetences.Thefourstagesofcompetence,alsoknownasthefourstages of learning, is a model based on the premise that before a learning experience begins, learnersareunawareofwhatorhowmuchtheyknow(unconsciousincompetence),and as they learn, they move through four psychological states until they reach a stage of unconscious competence. By understanding the model, trainers can better identify learningneedsanddeveloplearningobjectivesbasedonwheretheirtargetaudienceisin thefourstagesrelatedtoagiventopic.

This concerns agreements about time, subjects, how the themes are discussed, the socalled working methods, and the sequence. Of course, during training, it can be suggested to tackle subjects differently.

This concerns the route along which communication takes place.The training is a form of cooperation.

the process level is divided into two aspects

Interaction

This concerns the way in which the trainer and the participants of the group interact with each other, regardless of the topic of discussion. The way you make contact, listen to each other, and who says the most or the least. As a trainer, you set an example in this by making comments about the way of dealing. You can indicate how you experience the mutual interaction and also invite participants to say something about this.

Feeling

Project MOVE BEYOND

No. ID 2019-1-NL01-KA204-060534

This concerns the individual feeling of each person about what is happening in the group at that moment, possibly as a result of a task. Especially whether there are positive or negative emotions. As a trainer, you can make emotional interventions or invite participants to express their feelings.

Disruptionsatthecontentandprocedurelevelareeasiertodiscussthandisruptionsat the process level. On the last-mentioned level, it often happens that an intervention consistsoftwoparts:thecombinationoftheinteractionandthefeelinglevel.Therefore, process-levelfailuresaremuchmorepersonal.Failuresatthislevelofteninterferewith andinfluencethecontentortheprocedure.Itisthereforeimportantasatrainertohang abovethesituationandtoseeatwhichlevelthemalfunctionoccurs.Wearetalkingabout metacommunication.

6.2. Team stages of development by Bruce W. Tuckman

Agroupcanbedefinedasmorethantwoindividuals,interactingandinterdependent,who havecometogethertoachieveaparticularobjective.Groupsareeitherformalorinformal but have a common feature: the stages of development. The most commonly used frameworkforateam’sstagesofdevelopmentwasestablishedinthemid-1960sbyBruce W. Tuckman. Although many authors have written variations and enhancements to Tuckman’s work, his descriptions of Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjourningprovideausefulframeworkforlookingatyourgroupasatrainer.

Adjourning

It is time to say goodbye. The original goal(s) of the team has been achieved and the farewellphaseischaracterisedbywithdrawalandincreasedindependence.Everyonecan moveon.

Each stage of team development has its recognisable feelings and behaviours; understanding why things are happening in certain ways in the group/team can be an important part of the self-evaluation process. The stages are a helpful framework for recognisingagroup/team’sbehaviouralpatterns;theyaremostusefulasabasisforteam conversation, rather than boxing the team into a ‘diagnosis.’ And just as human developmentisnotalwayslinear(thinkofthefive-year-oldchildwhorevertstothumbsuckingwhenanewsiblingisborn),teamdevelopmentisnotalwaysalinearprocess.

Thephaseofinfluence

Participants become more critical of the trainer and their leadership, about the mutual relationshipsandmanners. Theymay alsohavedoubtsaboutthe purposeandworking methods. As a trainer, keep in mind that feelings such as helplessness, incompetence, disappointment,orangermayoccurinthegroup.

6.3. The nine Belbin

team/group roles

Teams are a group of training participants that can become unbalanced if all members havesimilarstylesofbehaviourorroles.Ifmembershavesimilarweaknesses,theteam or group as a whole may tend to have that weakness. If members have similar team/group workstrengths,theymaytendtocompete(rather than cooperate) for the team/group tasks and responsibilitiesthatbestsuittheirnaturalstyles.

Belbin suggests that, by understanding the roles within a particular team/group, you can develop strengthsandmanageweaknesses,andsoimprove howtheycontributetotheteam.

With the Belbin model, you can make sure that necessary team roles are covered, and that potential behavioural tensions or weaknesses among team members are addressed. Research showsthatteamswithmixedrolesperformbetter than those that are ‘unbalanced’ due to an overrepresentationofcertainroles.Foratrainer, it is also a good model to analyse and deal with groupprocesses.

WhileBelbinsuggeststhatindividualstendtoadoptaparticularteamrole,bearinmind that one’s behaviour within a team/group can be dependent on the situation and the relationship with others. Participants may behave and interact quite differently in differentteams/groupsorindifferentprojects.JustknowingabouttheBelbinTeamRoles model can bring more harmony to your team/group, as members learn that different approachesareimportantindifferentcircumstances–andthatnosingleapproachisbest allofthetime.

7.1. The framework of your impact as a trainer

As a trainer, it is important to be aware of external influences that may determine the behaviourandattitudeofyourparticipants.Whatcouldbegoingoninthelivesandminds ofyoungstersthatmayinfluencetheirmotivationandactiveparticipation?Andwhatcan youinfluence?Inother words, being aware as a trainer of the distinction between our circle of concern (things you cannot control, and therefore shouldnotthinkabout toomuch),ourcircleof influence (things you can have an impact on but cannot fully control) and our circle of control (things you canfullycontrol).

The ‘Circle of Concern’ includes the wide range of concerns peoplehaveintheworld,theirworkandlife–includinghealth,family,finances,andthe economy. ThechallengewiththeCircleof Concernisfor youasatrainertorealisethat someofthethingsare outside ofyourcontrolandinfluence.Eventhoughasatraineryou cannot fully influence the circle of concern, it is still important to check how your participants feel about themselves. A degree of insight helps you as a trainer to better understandcertainwell-being,behaviours,andattitudesofyourparticipants.
