Solve it!

• The learners will be set up in groups of four to five. The group will be given the link to the FACES website at http://www.facessolutions.org to be introduced to the problem. The FACES website serves as a clearinghouse on the military toxic wastes issue at the former bases in the Philippines. The group will not be limited in searching for resources. There will be designated persons that will play the role of facilitators and be helpful in using problem based learning approach/model defined by Barrows.
  
  • Exposure to the problem
  • Reasoning through the problem, identifying the needs of the learner, and identifying resources
  • Self-study
  • Application of new found knowledge
  • Summary of what has been learned in the process

  After introduction to the problem, students will work individually to process and find out what they can about the problem using their resources. With the facilitator in facilitating mode, the students will brainstorm ideas, facts, learning issues and develop an action plan.
  

• All information and activities will be documented in a personal team-based portfolio. Individually each student will get involved with peer(at the end) and self-reflection(continued throughout the process). In the end, they will present their group solution to the members of the community, and the steps on how they will get to their solution. Materials and resources will be available to them and be able to get other needed items when and if they need it.
