An innovative method of accelerated learning

Similia Vol 29 No 2 – December 2017

Author: Linlee Jordan

Abstract

Melting Pot sessions are focused discussion groups, suitable as a continuing education method for homeopaths. There is a close resemblance to the ’Un-conference’, both of which have an underpinning of adult learning theory. When group guidelines are explained, equal participation allows the discussion to become deeply collaborative and thought provoking.

In this article, Nyema Hermiston and Linlee Jordan describe the machinations of running a Melting Pot session. A Melting Pot session is collaborative and thought provoking. The aim is to encourage this enjoyable and effective method of learning to build broad knowledge on specific topics for participants, and within the homeopathic community.

Keywords: Adult learning, melting pot, continuing education, homeopath, discussion group, un-conference, fast-track learning.
