Position of trainer as a facilitator

Approaches in the socio-critical paradigm :

The socio-critical paradigm promotes the confrontation of contextualised and/or controversial ideas, values and skills.
These implicate the learners and trainers in collaborative investigations in response to a complex given problem which does not allow for a single response, or in ethico-scientific debates.

They render explicit the contradictory nature of agroecological issues. They enable either development of awareness of these issues or discussion of the related conceptions and values within a group of learners.
