Process of preparing a person (or machine) to perform a series of tasks by listing methods to be used in each circumstance, generally through exact mimicry of a teacher's performance. In scientism's view of technology and training, the mechanics of each task are implicit in the method, and approaches are either ignored or considered to be a hindrance to the learning process. In principle this provides quick and easy results, in comparison with the slower process of education, but in practice is can be reliable only if a method could be provided for every possible circumstance: the infinite complexity of the interactions of the total field makes this an impossibility.
