WHOLE GROUP
DISCUSSION
Reporter:
GENEVA EUNICE MEI G. ARCELAO
Whole Group Discussion is a modified form
of classroom lecture where the focus is
shared between the instructor and the
students for information transfer. Typically, an
instructor will stand before a class and
present information for the students to learn
but the students will also participate by
answering questions and providing
examples.
Pros of Whole Group Discussion
Whole group discussions provide for greater
interaction between teacher and students.
Instructors maintain a greater control over what is
being taught because they are able to steer the
discussion.
Auditory learners find them appealing to
their learning style.
Teachers can check on what students are
retaining through questions posed.
Pros of Whole Group Discussion
Whole group discussion is comfortable for many
teachers because it is a modified form of lecture.
Students have a tendency to stay focused on the
lesson because they might be called on to answer
questions.
Students may feel more comfortable asking
questions during whole group discussions.
Cons of Whole Group Discussion
Whole group discussions require setting up and
enforcing ground rules for students. If these rules
are not enforced then there is a possibility that the
discussion could quickly go off-topic.
Students who are weak in note-taking skillswill have
trouble understanding what they should remember
from group discussions. This is even more so than in
lectures in many cases because not only the
teacher but fellow students are talking about the
lesson.
Cons of Whole Group Discussion
Some students may not feel comfortable being
put on the spot during a whole group discussion.
Whole group discussions are an excellent teaching
method when used in conjunction with other methods.
Instruction should be varied from day to day to help
reach the most students possible. Teachers need to
provide their students with note taking skills before
starting discussions. It is important that teachers be good
at managing and facilitating discussions. Questioning
techniques are effective for this. Two questioning
techniques that teachers employ is to increase their wait
time after questions are asked and to only ask one
question at a time.
