A. B. C. D.A.
The BEST way for the instructor to show the progress of the learners and justify their opinion would be to deliver a weekly assessment test that validates the improvement of the skills of the learners. Option D is the correct answer.
Here's why:
Option A, inviting management to observe the learners in the classroom, may not give a complete picture of the learners' progress. The learners may feel nervous or behave differently with the presence of management, and the observation may not accurately reflect the learners' actual progress.
Option B, testing the skills of the learners at the end of the course to show if the course objectives were met, is not the best option since the managers require progress reports at the end of each week. Also, waiting until the end of the course to evaluate the learners' progress may not allow for timely intervention if learners are not making adequate progress.
Option C, performing individual interviews with the learners to ask how they feel their progress is coming along, may provide some insight into the learners' perception of their progress, but it may not be a reliable indicator of actual progress. Additionally, individual interviews may be time-consuming and may not be a feasible option for a large class.
Option D, delivering a weekly assessment test that validates the improvement of the skills of the learners, would provide an objective measure of the learners' progress. The test could be designed to align with the course objectives and provide immediate feedback to both the learners and the instructor, allowing for timely intervention if needed. Also, providing weekly progress reports through an assessment test would keep the learners motivated and engaged as they work towards meeting their learning objectives.
In summary, delivering a weekly assessment test that validates the improvement of the learners' skills is the best option as it provides an objective measure of progress and allows for timely intervention if needed.
