OPERATIVE TRAINING: PART 2: THE ANALYTICAL METHOD OF TRAINING IN ACTION

Abstract

To operate a sewing machine requires four basic skills: machine control, guiding the work with the hands, positioning several components together on the work‐table, and machine servicing. Under the ancient practice of ‘sitting next to Nellie’, a new entrant is expected to absorb all these skills at the same time. Under the analytical system, the trainee is taught one element at a time in such a way that each element is isolated. She is required to time and record her performance at every stage.
