Synopsis

style, it has become commonly used in this way. The ability of the tutor to use facilitatory teaching skills during the small group learning process is the major determinant of the quality and the success of any educational method aimed at 1) developing students' thinking or reasoning skills (problem solving, metacognition, critical thinking) as they learn, and 2) helping them to become independent, self-directed learners (learning to learn, learning management). Tutoring is a teaching skill central to problem-based, self-directed learning.

Although tutorial teaching seems natural for some teachers, it is a difficult skill to understand and apply for many teachers who are used to didactic teaching approaches. The intent of this handbook is to present a conceptual basis for facilitatory teaching skills that may make them easier to understand, practice and develop
