Which chaining procedure involves teaching all steps in one session?

Total task chaining is the procedure that involves teaching all steps of a task in one session. This approach allows the learner to understand the entire sequence of actions necessary to complete a task, promoting the acquisition of skills in a holistic manner. It is particularly effective for tasks where the learner can benefit from experiencing the complete process from start to finish, as it enhances comprehension and retention of the entire sequence.

In total task chaining, the instructor or facilitator works with the learner on each step during the session, providing support and guidance as needed. This modeling assures that the learner grasps how each step connects to the next, fostering a clear understanding of the entire process.

For other methods, such as forward chaining and backward chaining, they focus on teaching one step at a time, either starting from the first step (forward) or the last step (backward). Segmented chaining isolates segments or smaller portions of a task to teach, rather than presenting the whole task at once. Each of these approaches has its benefits but differs from total task chaining, which emphasizes completing the full process in a single session.
