Hi Vickie! Very true! In working with learning groups the instructor takes on the role of facilitator. He or she makes sure that the group members are clear as to expectations and objectives as well as roles and responsibilities, then monitors the process to keep discussions and activities on track. I have found that if the results that the group are expected to achieve are clearly identified, and they are measurable, group performance is significantly enhanced. What techniques have you used to keep students on track, particularly in activities like role plays and advanced discussions?
