There is an unstated “facts or fun” dilemma in training and teaching circles.
Course designers and instructors focus on delivering all the facts required for the learning to be successful.
The participants focus on the change the information will make in their lives.
Many instructors are subject matter experts who want to give the learners every bit of information they can in the short time they are together. They compound the facts problem.
Other instructors sense the learner discomfort with too many facts and go overboard delivering fun. They ultimately deliver learner resentment.
It’s like a teeter tauter unbalanced first in one direction and then the other.
Fun without facts isn’t learning: it’s wasting time.
Facts without fun isn’t learning: it’s information overload.
And yet when the two, facts and fun, are in balance, true learning can occur.
Participants who are having a good time pay attention. When they pay attention, they absorb more content.
The need isn’t for facts without fun, or fun without facts.
The need is for the delivery of facts and fun, aligned, in balance, and together as one.
