Third in the series, let’s talk about ‘Participatory discussion method.
A meaningful combination of lecture with interactive participation. Here the trainees are provided with relevant information supported, reinforced & expanded through interactions between the trainees & trainers.
It provides a two-way flow of communication. Knowledge is communicated from the trainer to the trainees & quick feedback is ensured. This provides a high degree of trainer control over the training process and content. However, as the training becomes more interactive, control shifts more to the trainees.

~ Trainer needs to probe with absolutely appropriate questions (Will discuss more about questioning technique in next post) as answers to these questions shape the content to be covered.
~ As the objectives for knowledge acquisition increase, the amount of two-way interaction required for learning must also increase.
~ The Trainer must establish utmost control over the direction in which discussion progresses as even a little loss of it may derail the whole discussion hampering the objective.
~ Trainer may choose this method for learning higher-order knowledge, such as concepts, principles & attitude changes.
~ The trainer must have utmost clarity of the subject and in-depth knowledge with great presence of mind. This is necessary to add value to the discussion and maintain the level of attentiveness of trainees.
