What is the Pushing Technique?

• A. Information flows mostly from the instructor to the participants.
• B. Information flows mostly from participants to the instructor.
• C. Discussion is completely student-led.
• D. There is no information flow.

Answer: (A)

The pushing technique is when the instructor leads the learning and delivers the essential content, with information flowing mainly from the instructor to the participants. In lifeguard training, this approach ensures that safety-critical procedures, correct techniques, and standard steps are presented clearly and consistently. The instructor demonstrates, explains each step, and sets expectations, then learners practice with the instructor providing guidance and corrective feedback as needed. So the flow of information is from the instructor to the learners, which is why this option fits best. If information were to come mostly from participants, or if the session were completely student-led, or if no information were exchanged at all, none of those describe the pushing method accurately.
