What the participants learn is far more important than what the facilitator says or does.

So information consists or external, objective facts and knowledge is how that information is internally organized and applied by the learner.

What is Information? What is Knowledge?
Lets start with a fundamental distinction
How do we acquire knowledge?
Knowledge begins when learners begin to conceptually re-organize their experiences and adapt new ways of understanding their experiences.

What is Information? What is Knowledge?
Two phases to this adaptation process?
1] Assimilation of new information or skills
2] Accommodation of that information or skills with existing concepts or skill sets.

What is Information? What is Knowledge?
Two phases to this adaptation process.
Promoting Learning in Psychoeducational Groups
Basically, learners first learn the new information or a skill and then reconstruct their “mental schemes” to accommodate the new information.
![Page 13: Facilitatinglearning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b465804a7959f36b8b456a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is Information? What is Knowledge?
This adaptation process is referred to as a Constructivist View of learning.
Basically, learners first learn the new information or askill and then reconstruct their “mental scheme” to accommodate the new information

CONSTRUCTIVISTS VIEW OF LEARNINGQuestion:"How do we come to know what we know?“
ResponseKnowledge is constructed in the mind of the learner.

What is Information? What is Knowledge?
Learners construct meaning and understanding.
This concept of learning then requires a shift in how we think of the facilitator as a teacher.

What is Information? What is Knowledge?
In psychoeducational groups the facilitator focuses less being someone who "teaches" and actively becomes someone who facilitates learning.

What is Information? What is Knowledge?
This constructivist approach then shifts from the time spent telling participants what to think, to the time spent asking them what they think.

How can the facilitator help learners adapt new ways of understanding within this Constructivist View of learning?
The real learning begins when the participants start doing most of the talking!

Facilitating Using a Constructivists Approach
In the Assimilation Phase the facilitator:
•Presents new information or demonstrates skill
•Leads a guided discussion
•Generates a list with participant input
•Presents a story or scenario and asks for participant observations
•Provides handouts, printed materials or video about topic
![Page 21: Facilitatinglearning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b465804a7959f36b8b456a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Facilitating Using a Constructivists Approach
In the Accommodation Phase the facilitator:
•Asks participants for examples of how the new information or skills can be used
•Has participants demonstrate skill of discuss information
•Gives participants chance to review their understanding of new information
•Has participants develop a story or scenario involving new skill\information
•Provides a class assignment for the next session
