[Year 12 SofDev] training methods vs training strategy question

[Claudia Graham]

Sonia,

For me 'method' is do 'blah' e.g. Two methods would be, a one day
external course and a team based training meetings. 

Where as I see a  strategy as the when, why, how, who etc of something
done in a number of steps. Eg: Week 1 train team leader on blah, blah by
sending her to training course run by ITrain consulting. Week 2 Team
leader initiates small group training session starting with sessions on
blah, blah, etc

If the student wrote as you have worded it there I would not have given
any marks probably 'train one person' says very little and to my way of
thinking doesn't cover method or strategy. Both require something more
structured/planned.

A student is trying to get me on a technicality but he may have a point!
I was hoping for some opinions on this.
 
I asked student to outline two appropriate training methods on a
particular case study. One of my students proposed to train one person,
then go back and train the other staff in small groups.
 
I suggested that this is only one training method - train-the-trainer
but he suggests that it is actually two ways of training people. He
suggested that maybe the wording on the question should have stated
"propose two training strategies" rather than "methods".
 
What do you think?
