Hello my dear steemian friends, it's another great moment to share with you what I learned in this week "***Steemit Learning Challenge***". This week learning is titled [developing teacher's knowledge and skills](https://steemit.com/hive-167213/@fantvwiki/slc-or-s22w4-developing-teachers-knowledge-and-skills), interesting right?. Without to waste let me dive in and prove how well I learned from this week challenge. *below*...

Task

>By using your language, when referring to the learning material you have read. Explain and develop your understanding of what seminars and trainings are, and what are the differences and similarities between them in terms of topics, benefits, target audiences, and goals.

Answer...

Of course seminars and training are both educational formats that are designed to prevent learning but they are different in structure, focus and objectives. Here I'm going to breakdown each format and the comparison between the both. ***

**Seminars**

*** In my own understanding base on the material a seminar is truely a more informal most time smaller keep kind of event focused on sharing knowledge, discussing ideas and encouraging interaction among people that participate. It length my not be certain, but is usually a one time event lasting a few hours to a day, seminars are often lead by experts and professionals in a specific field and can be attended by a different kinds on of people including students, company professionals and most time the general public in as much the language used is understandable. They are usually aim and used for disseminating information on base on specifc topics such as current trends or emerging technologies. ***[Topics]*** Seminars mostly to focus on broader or more theoretical topics with the aim of providing an overview or exploration of a subject, they may also serve as a platform for discussing recent developments or research in a particular area. ***[Benefits]*** * Boosten the learners knowledge and insight. * Create Inspiration and motivation the learners. * Create a network and connection Expansion . * Learner tend to do their skills. * It Increase Credibility. * Getting a new system and method. * Create career Opportunities. * Follow The Latest Trends (disease outbreak and prevention, technology info, environmental news. Etc) * For entertaining and fun purpose. ***[Target Audiences]*** As earlier introduced, seminars are typically open to anyone interested in the topic including professionals, students and the general public. ***[Goals]*** The main goals of seminars are to share knowledge, create valuable discussions and inspire further inquiry for learning, they are less about handon skillbuilding and more about idea exchange and awareness. ***

**[Trainings]**

*** While training sessions on the other hand are structured educational programs with a focus on skill development and practicals application, They are usually more handon and often include assessments to secure participants learning. Trainings are designed to teach specific actionable skills that can be applied directly in a professional areas, the duration of training can vary depending on the topic being treated, but its good to have in mind often spans multiple days and week or even years with an emphasis on mastering the task and competency. ***[Topics]*** Training sessions are more highly focused on practical skills or specific areas to gain expertise example, software training, mechanical skills, public speaking, technical skills and so on. ***[Benefits]*** * It create development and practical application in the area. * It enhanced job performance and add more productivity. * It helps in provides participants with tangible skills or certifications of their areas. * It most time help and leads to career advancement or personal growth. ***[Target Audiences]*** Trainings are always aim to to Educate employees, professionals or people that are looking to develop specific skills for their job bd careers. ***[Goals]*** One of the the primary goal of training is to improve participants abilities and then provide them with practical skills and techniques that can be applied to their different areas of interest, It is mostly oriented toward improving work performance. ***

**Similarities and Differences**

*** ***[Similarities]*** * The both system are designed to impart knowledge and promot learning. * Both requires or need expert instructors and active participation. * Both do serve as a platforms for networking and profession development. ***[Differences]*** **Content and Topic Focus:** Seminars are more focused on theoretical knowledge or broad any choosed topic while training sessions concentrate on practical skills and application only. * **Format:** Seminars are usually less structured, with more room for discussion and audience interaction, while training tends to follow a more structured curriculum with specific learning objectives. **Duration:** in seminars it tends to be shorter in duration compared to trainings which can extend over several days, weeks or even years. **Outcome:** The outcome of a seminar at end accomplish increasing awareness or understanding of a topic whereas training results in the development of specific practical skills of any person. ![W5LtFUPm6g7111bbdcuxu3bfUg5qaCq8seb5paCtrrT7zPGaTc83ryMu62AnKfrjJkiciSoaHgoDdmHXFybuhJT2hTYqhiog7daQKhuDm96ZNT5jXF9Bn36srgyH57kr9V9of9Zg2T4KJBoNwQUQiMFC8e4iS.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZnuNm52xUCX1vpDPLWj5tHX7QJ7TPw2LQZ7HGfPD6JGD/W5LtFUPm6g7111bbdcuxu3bfUg5qaCq8seb5paCtrrT7zPGaTc83ryMu62AnKfrjJkiciSoaHgoDdmHXFybuhJT2hTYqhiog7daQKhuDm96ZNT5jXF9Bn36srgyH57kr9V9of9Zg2T4KJBoNwQUQiMFC8e4iS.png) ![W5LtFUPm6g7111bbdcuxu3bfUg5qaCq8seb5paCtrrT7zPGaTc83ryMu62AnKfrjJkiciSoaHgoDdmHXFybuhJT2hTYqhiog7daQKhuDm96ZNT5jXF9Bn36srgyH57kr9V9of9Zg2T4KJBoNwQUQiMFC8e4iS.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZnuNm52xUCX1vpDPLWj5tHX7QJ7TPw2LQZ7HGfPD6JGD/W5LtFUPm6g7111bbdcuxu3bfUg5qaCq8seb5paCtrrT7zPGaTc83ryMu62AnKfrjJkiciSoaHgoDdmHXFybuhJT2hTYqhiog7daQKhuDm96ZNT5jXF9Bn36srgyH57kr9V9of9Zg2T4KJBoNwQUQiMFC8e4iS.png)
