During instruction, a person learns a new cognitive, psychomotor or socio-affective “item” relevant to the
organisation he is part of. Instruction takes place in a specific environment such as a school. Instruction is
given by qualified personnel who are required to show the optimal behaviour and is thus better skilled than
the trainee.
Learning in this sense, is defined as a long lasting desired behaviour modification under the influence of the
repeated exposure to adequate stimuli. The learning process is (constantly) monitored by the instructor. The
behaviour of the trainee is corrected on the spot. Feedback is procured during and after the training process.
E.g. an officer learns how to write an operations order for his subordinates, a soldier learns how to aim and
fire a weapon, a new formed squad/crew learns what cohesion means to their functioning as a group
