The document discusses the symposium technique used in nursing education. A symposium involves multiple speakers presenting on different aspects of a topic, followed by audience discussion. It allows for broad understanding of an issue from various perspectives. Symposiums aim to stimulate critical thinking. While they provide diverse views, symposiums have limitations like lack of control over speakers and limited audience participation. Overall, the technique exposes students to different opinions on a subject and helps develop judgment skills.
