Differentiate Short-term goals from Long-term goals Short-term goals* are objectives that can be achieved in a relatively brief period, typically within days, weeks, or a few months. They often serve as stepping stones towards larger objectives. Example*: Completing a specific assignment by Friday. Long-term goals* are significant objectives that require an extended period to achieve, usually several months, a year, or even many years. They represent broader aspirations and often require multiple short-term goals to reach. Example*: Earning a bachelor's degree in four years. 10.

Increases Motivation*: Having specific targets to aim for boosts enthusiasm and commitment. Facilitates Decision-Making*: Goals help in prioritizing tasks and making choices that align with desired outcomes. Enables Progress Tracking*: Goals provide benchmarks to measure success and identify areas for improvement.

Explanation and Benefits*: Active engagement promotes deeper understanding and retention of information compared to passive learning. When trainees are involved, they take ownership of their learning, develop critical thinking skills, and are more likely to apply what they've learned in real-world situations. Benefits include improved problem-solving abilities, increased motivation, better collaboration skills, and enhanced practical application of knowledge. 12.
