When there are more than eight members in a group, it is helpful to have a leader or facilitator to ensure an effective discussion. Some potential group leaders include directors of organizations, public officials, teachers, and respected community members. Effective facilitation includes creating an inclusive environment, keeping discussions constructive, encouraging participation, and ensuring all members have necessary materials and information. Facilitators should also avoid allowing some members to dominate conversation and treat all participants with respect.
Advantages and disadvantages of Group Discussion by usman
Group study has several advantages: it can motivate procrastinators to study; students learn actively by discussing material; explaining concepts to others deepens understanding. Group study also broadens perspectives as other students provide additional ideas and questions. Tasks like making study materials can be shared, reducing the individual burden. However, there are also disadvantages such as groups potentially becoming social instead of academic. Studying with unprepared or negative students can be frustrating and a waste of time. Groups with varying ability levels may not challenge all students. Students must also avoid over-dependence on the group and ensure individual study time. Effective group planning includes selecting motivated students, setting guidelines, and giving members preparation and discussion responsibilities.
