They were given the opportunity to interact and generate new ideas for activities and to critically evaluate their results. Trainees worked within a group instructional setting. Guidance were given on current theoretical knowledge without being lecture orientated. Trainers were guided, observed, listened, evaluated and provided feedback for each module.
