Teachers are active participants, not only in the students’ learning process,
but also in their own.
 
They assume the role of facilitators and resource persons.
 
This pedagogical methodology attempts to combine current behavioral science
practices and implement them within the platform of the learning environment
of the Ateneo de Manila University.
 
The well accepted principles have been synthesized into a
methodology that is described in detail in the attached papers.
