Facilitating a small group teaching session

摘要

The small group is one of the more common settings in which you may find yourself teaching. It can take many forms from the breakout group on a vocational training scheme day, to an undergraduate ethics discussion, or a newly diagnosed patient information event. The skill of facilitation has many transferable attributes, including those associated with chairing a meeting. A greater understanding of the role of the facilitator can also help you get the most out of education events that you attend as a user. This article aims to equip you with seven carefully considered tools to enhance your facilitation skills and also discusses ways in which you can actually demonstrate those abilities.
