Aren participants lost with so much questioning?
Some individuals (or even cultures) tend to avoid uncertainty, difference, complexity and conflict, so some people might experience discomfort or feel overwhelmed by the questioning process. However, if people do not have spaces where they can develop skills to deal with these things, they will remain where they are. Conflict and being outside the comfort zone are important dimensions of learning. On the other hand, facilitators are also responsible for providing support when learners get stuck in their learning process. Modelling behaviour is a way of reassuring participants that there are other possible ways of relating to these things. Therefore, it is extremely important that facilitators have developed critical literacy skills before they start facilitating. Going through the teacher education units is a way of building the repertoire that will improve facilitation skills.
