Mixed Group Teaching Methods
Group Discussion
This may be counted under small as large group teaching methods. It is one of the oldest methods used by Greek scholars and scholars from Nalanda University.
A discussion method of teaching is a democratic method used to develop better understanding among students, for supplementing a lecture, in connection
with an observation visit or case presentation and for sharing information.
Forms of Discussion
Formal group discussion is comprised of small group discussion followed by large group discussion. It is desirable when the number of students is more or when it is desirable to discuss several aspects of a topic. To start with the discussion, the teacher may act as the chairman. Each group selects a leader and a recorder. The leader initiates, coordinates and controls the group discussion. The recorder notes down the discussion points. The teacher acts as a facilitator and a resource person. At the end of allotted time (not more than 30 minutes), all the groups reassemble as large group.
Forms of Discussion
This is an informal method of discussion with the class. If the class is not too large, sometimes the teacher may select a
particular topic with the whole class participating as one group. In this situation, the teacher acts as a leader, they present the topic guides and directs the discussion. At times, a student may take the role of a leader. The leader usually notes down the main points on the blackboard or may ask one of the students to do this. He or she also assists the group in summing up.
Advantage
1. A stimulating thinking process, it helps in the development of critical thinking.
2. It is pooling of knowledge, ideas and feelings of several persons analysis and integration of facts, ideas and concepts.
3. Rationalization of facts and it thus promotes intelligent learning.
Limitation
1. It requires more time, efforts and resources of both teachers and students.
2. It may involve unnecessary arguments. Discussion may go off the track.
3. It may create emotional stress and unpleasant feelings.
Seminar
It is a type of group discussion where one trainee or several, prepare a paper on a given topic, issue or problem, which is then presented to the whole group for discussion and analysis. A series of seminars can be presented by the trainees around a major topic, so that they form a linked series of discussions. The main stages in seminar are preparation of paper, presentation of paper and discussion on it. Seminars can be bigger ones also.
Advantage
1. This method gives more independence, which leads to the development of presentation skills of the participants.
2. It provides opportunity for the trainees to prepare and contribute to a particular topic thoroughly.
3. It provides opportunity to the trainees towards practical group leadership and allows them to use analytical skills, research on conclusions, solve a problem, etc.
Limitation
1. It is time consuming and may cause stress to participants.
2. It needs a group of trainees with fairly high-level of attainment.
Project Method
This can be described as both a small group and an individualized instruction. In this method, the students are allowed to explore and experience their environment through their senses and direct their own learning by their individual interests. Very little is taught from the textbooks and the emphasis is on experiential learning rather than rote learning and memorization. A project method classroom focuses on democracy and collaboration to solve purposeful problems.
Advantage
1. Students are likely to develop the habit of critical thinking.
2. They develop the habit of working in teams
Limitation
1. Continuous monitoring may be required.
2. Additional resources may be required
Panel Discussion
A panel consists of a small group of six to eight people. They carry on a guided and informal discussion before an audience. For example, a panel discussion takes place on the issue of climate change. The leader must, in addition, take special care to select the panel members who can think and speak effectively.
Advantage
1. Panel discussions, if well conducted, are usually more interesting to the audience than the single speaker forum.
2. Usually on socially relevant issues.
Limitation
1. Bringing experts to a single forum can be difficult.
2. The audience is not actively involved.
