Facilitating Human Learning is a competency and resource-based CHED and PAFTE-compliant textbook that introduces the prospective teachers to various metacognitive skills that help them to cultivate a habit of mind which tries to make sense of the learning experience, questions the assumptions upon which knowledge is predicated, challenges established definitions, and makes informed and discriminate choices, thus continuously reassessing and adapting their learning. Likewise, this text stimulates their thinking and enhances the development of transferrable generic skills- work and life skills that include critical thinking, communication, learn work, problem-solving, organizing ideas, meaning construction, reflective thinking, monitoring, and regulating their thought processes.
