Even the communication of a teacher's understanding of their role can make a decisive contribution to a learner-orientated form of academic training.<\/p>\n
In the role of a learning coach, a learning facilitator, the teacher hands over part of their responsibility to the students. From now on, it is their task to accompany and moderate the learning process. Especially at the beginning of a course, students need support in clarifying the assignment. To this end, the teacher helps to identify and describe the problem. Once this is clear and a main goal has been defined, students can work independently to achieve the goal. In this phase, the teacher provides support by establishing connections and continuously placing the problem in context. They set \"anchor points\" at important points in the learning process.<\/p>\n
Working in small groups is ideal for problem-orientated learning. Here, the teacher takes on the task of forming groups and, if necessary, appointing a group leader who will serve as a contact person in the future. If problems arise in the groups, the teacher provides support in solving them and, if necessary, takes over some of the group's tasks.<\/p>\n
