• The debate, which means scratching and
digging, is a kind of dialogue to find
answer or solution.
• In other words, two or more people are
talking about a topic, exchanging ideas
to deliver opinion.
• The debate is meant to explore, and
exploring the truths through interactions
have a significant impact on the mental
aspect of the human mind

group activities interspersed with plenary
sessions and brief lectures.

problems of human relations and
analyse the enactment with help of
other role players and observers

The debate in groups of learners
• One of the debate patterns refers to a
debate between groups of learners in
relation to the issues presented in the
classroom to be used solely by the
students in order to understand the
subject better.
• It is a common practice in many
educational systems

• Classroom debate refers to the time of
training and the time of the interaction
between teachers and learners. In this
pattern, firstly a problem purposefully will
be designed, and then the students will be
encouraged to participate in debates either
directly or indirectly. They will search all
together actively as a team.

• Multi-stages debate This is the third pattern of the "debate" that
present the goal of this research.
• This pattern includes both previous processes and other processes
that besides having all the advantages of previous stages have other
positive effects on teaching and learning, which distinguishes it from
other educational systems.
• This debate includes the systematic program of preliminary study;
preliminary debate, attending classes, studding, and debating that are
done in several stages
