order to stimulate discussion and provide student feedback.
❑ In such sessions, small sub-groups of two to four persons
spend a short period (generally no more than five minutes)
intensively discussing a topic or topics suggested by the
teacher.
❑ Each sub-group then reports back on its deliberations to
the group as a whole, or sometimes combines with another
sub-group in order to share their findings and discuss the
implications.
Buzz sessions
▪ Provides learners opportunities for teams of learners to complete assignments.
▪ In such approaches (which can be structured in an almost unlimited way, the talents of each learner are used to problems, learners critique each other’s work
and they learn from one another.
COLABORATIVE LEARNING
▪ Speakers who have opposing views on a controversial subject are
given equal time to present their reasons for their beliefs, followed
by a free and open discussion of the issue by the entire group
▪ Students present cases, engage in rebuttal and refutation, and also
participate in a “crossfire” (similar to a cross-examination) with the
opportunity to question the opposing team. Often, community
members are recruited to judge this event.
Debate
involves opposing teams of two, debating a
topic concerning a current event. Proceeding a coin toss, the
winners choose which side to debate (PRO or CON) or which
speaker position they prefer (1st or 2nd), and the other team
receives the remaining option.
Public Forum Debate
