Abstract
When asked to teach, many therapists may, understandably, be tempted to lecture to large groups of people, to save themselves time. However, learners, be they undergraduates, colleagues, or people from other professions, are likely to assimilate more if they are taught in a small group setting. In this situation, there is a greater opportunity for participation and for therapists to offer individuals immediate feedback and help when required. Seminars and tutorials are useful methods for achieving these aims. The seminar is a small group teaching method where, ideally, the number of learners should not exceed 10. A learner is asked to present a paper to the rest of the group, which is then discussed. Tutorials involve the teaching of one learner or a group of learners ideally not exceeding five. It is a teaching method associated with the older universities and, if used frequently, requires a high learner-teacher ratio.
