In this problem based learning
environment you will act as a facilitator and not in the traditional role
of teacher. As a facilitator you will begin the unit by forming groups
and introducing the problem to the groups. You will not give any instruction
to the students or offer your knowledge or opinion. You are there to help
to monitor team progress and to help students stay focused. You must be careful not to
guide the groups to the "correct" answer. The goal for students
is not to find the answer that the teacher wants but to develop critical
thinking skills and problem solving skills while studying in this domain.
The following links will give you more information about problem based learning, your role as a facilitator, and how to assess students. The Problem Based Learning
