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.

The discussion method can change employee’s attitudes by providing new insights, facts, and understanding. Let’s discuss more about this in the next post…
