(1(2) Walking around the class
This is the method to evaluate the learning status of trainees by walking around their desks during the class to observe how they are learning. The method is used when trainees are carrying out group work or practice as well as during theory training. The evaluation method is practiced by Japanese instructors on a daily basis.
