THE TRAINER'S ROLE IN ORGANIZING EXERCISES DURING EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS.
Abstract
The article examines the multifaceted role of the trainer in organizing exercises during educational sessions and argues that exercises constitute the core space where active, meaningful learning takes place. The trainer is considered not only as a transmitter of knowledge, but as a designer of learning experiences, facilitator of interaction, diagnostician of learners’ needs, motivator, and evaluator. The paper shows how the trainer translates general learning objectives into concrete tasks, selects and sequences different types of exercises, and adapts them to the specific characteristics and diversity of the group.
