Sharing Sharing Results<br />

Results<br />

The results generated during the previous<br />

working group sessions are presented, discussed,<br />

<strong>and</strong> commented in plenary. This provides<br />

feedback <strong>and</strong> an overview. In a further step,<br />

participants often may rate or appraise the<br />

conclusions they arrived at, <strong>and</strong> they may want to<br />

decide on how to proceed with those results.<br />

Implementation Implementation <strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> E EEvaluation<br />

E valuation<br />

Towards the end of a moderation cycle, the<br />

shared results should be integrated. Recommendations<br />

are <strong>for</strong>mulated, or an action plan is<br />

drafted. At mid-term <strong>and</strong> at the end of training<br />

events, it should be evaluated whether learning<br />

objectives were met, expectations achieved <strong>and</strong><br />

skills advanced. The transfer of learning refers to<br />

the fundamental question “How can participants<br />

apply their newly acquired learning results <strong>and</strong><br />

experiences at work?”<br />

The entity of the four phases makes <strong>for</strong> the shifts<br />

between action <strong>and</strong> reflection, <strong>and</strong> group work<br />

<strong>and</strong> plenary work that are so typical <strong>for</strong> moderated<br />

<strong>and</strong> visualized learning or planning processes.<br />

These shifts are part of what, later in this<br />

Part, is called ‘dramaturgic competence.’ Below,<br />

the four phases of the moderation cycle are<br />

outlined in greater detail.<br />

Phase Phase 1 1 – – Orientation<br />

Orientation<br />

A good start into a group event will predetermine<br />

its course <strong>and</strong> eventual success. The way you<br />

create the first day of a workshop or training<br />

course will set the stage, atmosphere, <strong>and</strong> tempo<br />

– cognitively, affectively, <strong>and</strong> practically. Particularly<br />

<strong>for</strong> groups not yet familiar with <strong>MOVE</strong>, you<br />

should facilitate a conducive learning environment<br />

up-front <strong>and</strong> let participants learn the new<br />

method by doing: Working in groups <strong>and</strong> teams,<br />

putting dialogue over debates, sharing experiences,<br />

results, <strong>and</strong> responsibilities.<br />

There are three fundamental questions which<br />

each event should clarify first:<br />

WHO WHO are we?<br />

t What is our personal <strong>and</strong> institutional<br />

environment?<br />

t What are our fears, expectations <strong>and</strong><br />

motivations?<br />

WHA WHAT WHA are we going to do?<br />

t What are our learning or planning<br />

objectives?<br />

t What are the issues <strong>and</strong> problems we<br />

will discuss, <strong>and</strong> what are their<br />

respective contexts?<br />

t What can we possibly achieve in the<br />

course of the event?<br />

HOW HOW are we going to work?<br />

t How shall we proceed?<br />

t What are the ‘rules of the game?’<br />

The first sessions usually set the stage <strong>for</strong> the<br />

training event, <strong>and</strong> often follow a st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

number of steps:<br />

■ Introduction of participants <strong>and</strong> team<br />

■ Introduction of workshop objectives<br />

<strong>and</strong> contents<br />

■ Participants’ expectations <strong>and</strong> fears<br />

■ Introduction of working principles<br />

<strong>and</strong> methods<br />

Other, more logistical aspects of the event’s<br />

initial stage such as invitation, first <strong>and</strong> second<br />

planning meeting of the moderation team,<br />

opening etc. are dealt with in Part 5.
