FACILITATOR

Individual who is responsible for helping trainees to learn, not by presenting information, but by listening, asking questions, providing ideas, suggesting alternatives, and identifying possible resources. Facilitators are found in face-to-face and self-instructional delivery as well, but their responsibilities are very different for these delivery systems. The facilitator plays three main roles which are the follows:

Leadership role

To focus on providing a direction to the group when the leader fails to fulfill their role
To stimulate and encourage constructive debate between group members
To support members of the group, helping them to bring information, and to build new ideas
To participate when the group is interacting poorly or in the wrong direction, by promoting new discussion
To promote team building in a cohesive, interactive, and productive way

Referee role

To regulate and maintain order of the group discussion, discouraging participants from talking at the same time
To protect members, and ensure that all contributions to the discussion are treated equally
To deal with problems, and to control people within the group, allowing everyone to participate freely
To manage the time, and adhere to the meeting timetable ensuring completion of the agenda

Neutral role

The facilitator is neutral, and pragmatic, because he takes a detached look at the discussion
He encourages feedback, to promote discussion of each point of the meeting
