Description
Summary:The teacher's role in problem-based learning is to act as a metacognitive coach by asking questions, helping students plan their work, guiding them toward the questions they need to pursue, and assessing their progress. Using Fairy Tales Dr. Dianne Trumbull, from West Virginia University, uses fairy tales (Box 1) to teach development in her resident course on psychodynamic psychotherapies. Because fairy tales are repositories of archetypal experiences for children, Dr. Trumbull uses them to help residents time-travel back to the early challenges of childhood in order to see healthy and pathological solutions.
