Our Methodology
How we learn MBT from the inside out
We blend short stories, focused questions, plausible answers, and step-by-step verifications with brief clarifications — so you can experience each concept, not just read about it.
1 Story-first Anchor meaning ▶
Each section starts with a short, relatable story that sets the tone for learning. The story provides context, sparks curiosity, and connects emotionally — so you experience the idea before we explain it.
Example
A new facilitator feels nervous before their first group session… but soon realizes that simply listening changes the whole atmosphere.
Quick check
Claim: The story should always connect to the main idea of the section.
2 Focused Questions Guide attention ▶
Questions are designed so they can be answered directly from the story. They guide your focus toward what matters most in each concept.
Templates
- “What is the key idea behind this reaction?”
- “Which part of the story reveals the turning point?”
- “What principle can we learn from this behavior?”
Quick check
Claim: A good question helps the learner focus on the signal, not the noise.
3 Plausible Answers (no guessing) Generate options ▶
We present several plausible answers — including one common misconception — so your task is to evaluate, not to guess.
Composition
- One clear and accurate statement.
- One partial truth to refine understanding.
- One common confusion to contrast with the right idea.
Quick check
Claim: Including a misconception helps learning stick.
4 Verifications (True / False) Test reality ▶
At this stage, you take a position. Each statement invites you to decide whether it’s True or False based on the story you just read. By choosing, you begin to shape the concept yourself — through direct experience, not passive reading.
How it works
- The learner selects True or False for each statement.
- This decision activates reflection and gives form to understanding.
- The focus is not on being “right” but on testing your current model of meaning.
Quick check
Claim: Verifications invite the learner to shape the concept by taking a position.
5 Clarifications (why it’s T/F) Close the loop ▶
Once the learner has taken a position, the course provides a short clarification that either supports or corrects that choice. Each clarification connects the reasoning behind the verdict to the principle being learned — closing the learning loop with insight and precision.
Good clarification
- States the principle in simple, concrete terms.
- Explains how it applies to the story, confirming or adjusting the learner’s view.
Quick check
Claim: Clarifications help consolidate meaning by supporting or correcting the learner’s choice.
