Abstract

In the rehabilitation programs of prison inmates, traditional education methods are generally used to train prisoners. Learning through participation and team activity is one of the common educational methods in today's era. This study was conducted to use the Team Member Teaching Design (TMTD) model to strengthen and improve the professional development of prisoners in Arak Prison.

They studied samples of prisoners in men's and women's prisons in Arak city and in five training courses (diaphoretic, crystal decorations, women's decorations, saffron cultivation, and bee breeding) in 1402 to compare traditional teaching methods. and the teaching plan was team members (TMTD).

Results: In the compared groups, the effect of the TMTD teaching method on the professional development of prisoners was shown. The results of the average comparison tests also indicate a significant difference between the two teaching methods in the field of strengthening the professional behavior of prisoners in all five training courses. This research discusses the implementation of the team method, the teaching plan of the team members, and its consequences in teaching and provides a path for the effective use of teaching methods to obtain better results in the teaching and learning process in prison vocational classes.
