Roles and responsibilities of an instructor

Types of teaching person
Teacher: A person who works to impart knowledge in an official institution of formal education by being responsible
for the overall learning progress of the learners undertaken by him/her. It includes teachers working in preschools,
schools, Colleges, Universities etc.
Trainer: A person who guides and supports someone in acquiring new physical skills by guiding them in physical
activities and demonstrating the ways to achieve the desired goals in a systematic manner. A gym trainer, a sports
trainer, a dance trainer, etc, are a few examples.

Instructor: A person who provides live interactions to the learners during a learning activity which forms part of
the program. An instructor cannot work without a teacher. Either the instructor can act as a teacher to teach the
basic pre-requisites of that activity or there has to be a separate teacher to do that, e.g. in the case of a flight
instructor.
Role of an Instructor has the following important roles to play in a training institute

As an organizer
• Organizing a training programme: Based on the syllabus provided, the Instructor has to organize the entire
training programme by analysing it further. • Preparing training material: Before commencing the course the
Instructor has to prepare various kinds of teaching aids like lesson plan, information sheet, training aids,
demonstration plan, etc. This requires a lot of preparation.

• Conducting a training programme: The main job of a vocational instructor is to conduct training programme,
which includes planning, preparation, presentation, testing and evaluation.
• Demonstrating in Workshop: For acquiring particular skill there will be certain steps which are to be followed.
For example, stitching of a garment, an instructor has to draw the style feature on the chalkboard. Then the
Instructor has to do the drafting of the same either on the board or on a paper. The paper pattern is marked on
the cloth & then cutting is performed. The cut component will be stitched with the help of sewing machine. By
attending this demonstration, the trainees will learn the entire cutting & stitching procedure.

• Enabling Attitude Formation: An instructor must motivate and guide to improve the attitude of the trainees
towards the training without which they will not be able to acquire the skill which has been taught.
• Performing Evaluation & Grading: No training is completed if it is not properly evaluated & graded. The
extent of instructional objectives achieved will be known through testing and evaluation. Grading will help the
learners to perform better than the previous test.
Instructor’s efficiency in teaching can also be done by means of evaluation and grading.
As a manager
• Maintenance of tools & equipments: For conducting training various kinds of tools & equipments are
required. An instructor has to procure all tools and equipment’s as per the syllabus & maintain them properly.
• Supervise the practical training: During the practical exercise it is very much necessary for the instructor
to be present with the trainee. Just by giving the theoretical knowledge to the trainees and then asking them
to do practical work is not enough. But the instructor must be physically present to supervise and guide the
trainees.
