There are numerous general approaches or “roles” one might play as a family life educator, such as a facilitator, collaborator, etc. Which role do you most readily identify with and why? What are some occasions where the use of one approach would be preferred over others?
What will be an ideal response?
A correct answer would be one where students identify one of the roles they identify with and give a proper rationale for it. For example, I identify mostly with the interventionist approach because I want family life education to facilitate change, not merely provide information to my clientele. There may be occasions where I may wish to use one approach over another. For example, I may want to kick into “expert” mode when there is active debate about an issue among participants that can be solved by referring to objective data about the subject. For example, some parents argue that spanking of teens teaches them whose boss, but research almost uniformly rejects any form of corporal punishment among teens as detrimental on all fronts.
