Discussions

Group discussions are an effective strategy to involve students sharing ideas about a common topic. They emphasize student to student interactions and are similar to group work and cooperative learning. For discussions to be successful, they must be structured with three phases - introduction, exploration, and closure - and have prepared questions to keep the information relevant. The main goals are for students to listen attentively, develop tolerance for different views, take turns, read nonverbal cues, and elaborate on others' ideas.
