Lead a large group discussion on the following
questions:
• What is happening in illustration A? in B?
• Which represents a learning situation? Do
they both?
• Which way is communication flowing in A? in B?
* Who is the teacher in A? Who is the teacher in
B? Is everyone?
! Who is learning in A? Who is learning in B?
• When is A a good teaching technique? When-is
B a good teaching technique?
NOTE- Important points to bring out in the
discussion:
A) Both A and B represent learning situations. A
shows the more traditional setting with the
learners focusing their attention on one person.
In B everyone can more easily talk to and look
at each other.
B) In A, communication tends to be more in one
direction--from the teacher to the learner. 7in
B, it is easier to encourage two-way communication
among all learners with everyone having a better
opportunity to participate.
C) In A the teacher is the main source of information.
In B there is not only one person who teaches, but
everyone both teaches and learns as participants
in the group, sharing information and exchanging
ideas among each other.
