Description¶

In a group context such as a seminar, the report recommends a process approach in which the learner engages a number of intellectual processes: choosing information sources, analyzing acquired information, synthesizing conclusions in keeping with a personal value system, applying them to a real-life situation, and evaluating the work. The problem can differ for each class member, and the objective is simply to encourage individual growth.
