should reflect the process of active learning process by Rosenberg et al. (2013). In your
discussion, clearly indicate the programs that you can initiate to promote problem solving

1.1 Explain your role in promoting the following:
a. Problem solving (5)
As an educator in environmental education, my role in promoting problem-solving among learners is
crucial. According to Rosenberg et al. (2013), the Active Learning Continuum emphasizes the importance
of engaging learners in real-world problems and encouraging them to actively participate in finding
solutions. To promote problem-solving skills, I can initiate programs such as project-based learning, case
studies, and experiential learning activities.
Project-based learning involves assigning students a project that requires them to identify and solve a
real environmental problem. This approach allows students to apply their knowledge and skills in a
hands-on setting, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Case studies are another
effective way to engage learners in problem-solving. By presenting students with real-world scenarios,
they can analyze the situation, identify the issues, and propose solutions based on their understanding
of environmental concepts.
Experiential learning activities, such as field trips or outdoor adventures, provide students with firsthand
experiences that require them to solve problems in a dynamic environment. These activities not only
engage learners but also enhance their critical thinking and problem-solving skills by challenging them to
make decisions and solve problems on the spot.
To keep learners engaged in the problem-solving process, I can provide them with opportunities to
collaborate with their peers, ask thought-provoking questions, and encourage them to think creatively.
By fostering a supportive and stimulating learning environment, students will be motivated to actively
participate in the problem-solving process and develop their critical thinking skills.
b. Critical thinking (5)
As an educator, my role in promoting critical thinking in environmental education is crucial in helping
learners develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and empowering them to become
active and responsible citizens. According to Rosenberg et al. (2013), the active learning process involves
engaging learners in problem-solving activities that challenge them to think critically about complex
environmental problems and possible solutions.
