This document outlines the expectations and tasks for a flipped classroom discussion on problem management and creativity. Students will participate in group discussions to think critically about the assigned readings and build their understanding and confidence. They will complete three tasks as a group: 1) describe the three most important aspects of the module and justify their choices, 2) identify the most difficult element of the module to apply and discuss it, and 3) pose a question to the full class that reflects their learning and implications of the theory. Afterward, students will self-assess their group discussion skills and what they learned.

2. Flipped Classroom
•Group Discussion and Participation
•Think deeply and critically about what
you read
•Build confidence in discussion
•Build understanding
•Prepare for the assignment
submission
•Potentially have 20% of your marks
before you leave

3. Roles in Group
Engage
Listen
Respect
Contribute
Clarify
Discuss
Question - What, why, when,
where, how, who?
Rational disagreement
Learn
Facilitate
Teach

4. Remember
• You are not expected to ‘get
it right’ throughout
• You are expected to
• learn
• demonstrate understanding
of the salient points
following your discussion, so
• If you don’t understand say so
• If you are comfortable with
the question at hand help
others in the group to
understand but don’t impose
your view

5. Give
Generously
Groups will be randomly called upon
to feedback their discussion to the wider class.
You may be called repeatedly
so no slacking!

6. Task 1
Choose and describe the
three most important
aspects of the module (from
the material you covered in
the workbook).
Justify your choices
One hour discussion
Large Group Presentation

7. Task 2
Identify an element of the module
content that you consider more
difficult to apply in your role as a
practitioner.
Your group may have more than one -
start with ‘all’, and narrow it down.

8. Task 3
Pose a question to the full class, the
answer to which may go beyond the
reading content (and doesn't reflect
the areas of confusion discussed in
the last task).
The question should reflect learning
and reveal what you think are the
implications and applications of theory
covered in ‘Problem Management and
Creativity’.

9. Give an example of
how you might use
5WH to clarify a
work related issue
How could you apply
the Five P Creativity
Framework to resolve
a work related issue

10. Self Assess
• What worked well/could have been managed
better in the group discussion?
• What aspects of Problem Management and
Creativity did you USE in your discussions
• What, if anything, did you learn about yourself
from the group work
• What should you do more of?
• Less of?
