Advantages of Group Discussion
Group
discussion (GD), by virtue of the term, means exchange of views by participants
on a given subject. The whole idea is to bring together a set of people on a
common platform to share their ideas, thereby giving an opportunity to exhibit
not only their knowledge, but also to understand and enhance their learning by
absorbing the thoughts of other people.
Importance of Group Discussion
in Education and Learning:
Group
discussion plays a vital role in a student’s life.
Group discussions in the
classroom are not only beneficial for a student’s social skills only but also
enhance their educational development and learning too. Some of the benefits of
GD in a student’s life are discussed below.
Enhance
Critical Thinking:
Group discussion is used in a
classroom to improve learning, asking open-ended questions will encourage
critical thinking and help students think for themselves
Help
with Understanding:
Group discussion use to help
students to understand a topic or concept deeply which will stay for a long
time in their minds.
Improve
Communication Skills:
It is also used to improve
communication skills as it can encourage students to become more confident in
speaking up and asking questions. This will help them improve their
communication in the long run because it should make them more confident to ask
if they’re stuck and need help.
Improve
Interest in Lessons:
It improves learning, as group
discussion invites the students to be the speakers. This helps students as it
can maintain their focus and concentration to hear another voice instead of
listening to the same teacher, which holds their attention.
Provide
the Feedback:
When learners discuss and
explain the concepts to each other aloud in a group, it helps the teacher to
hear if they have learnt a concept or not. This is a perfect feedback on
teaching. It means that, if the teacher sees that they don’t understand
something clearly, they can help them by stepping in and adding some more
context or information in their discussion.
Other Advantages of Group Discussions
Better understanding of the subject
GD
offers a great opportunity to the discussants to take a deep dive into the
subject, and understand it profoundly. It expands the horizon of knowledge and
learning. In addition, it extends a chance to the participants to improve their
abilities to think critically and develop their analytical skills.
Solve problems
Since
GD brings together a group of people holding diverse opinions, it also
perceived as one of the sought after ways to arrive at solutions to problems.
Because of the fact that people bring in a wide range of insights, GDs help in
changing the thought process from a narrow to a wider view, thereby paving the
way to solutions.
Improve listening skills and confidence
Since
GDs necessitate the contribution of ideas and thoughts, the participants are
required to be listen keenly to others’ observations. In this sense, group
discussions are a fantastic way to enhance listening skills, and also boost the
confidence of speakers by engaging them and encouraging them to express their
thoughts.
Enhance communication and interpersonal
skills
While
one aspect of GDs is that it encourages people to share their knowledge, the
other important aspect is that it gives an opportunity to people to build their
communication skills. The participants, in the process, learn how to express
their ideas while also respecting viewpoints of others. This in turn
contributes to the development of interpersonal skills among the peer group.
Team building exercise
GDs
help in developing teamwork and leadership attributed in people, which are
extremely important in the current context. Working in a group helps them
increase tolerance and respect towards others, and also how to unanimously
arrive at conclusions.
After
learning various benefits which people may derive from participation in group
discussions, it is important to highlight that this activity holds a special
importance in academic and professional set ups. On one hand, GDs reflect the
values of coexistence, motivation, tolerance and acceptance for others, on the
other hand, they are a key tool for recruiters. During the selection process,
they help the hiring team to identify if the job applicants possess the values
which mirror the principles and the vision of the organisations. The
organisations today not only stress on the knowledge pool of the candidates,
but also give lot of importance to enthusiasm and adaptability in the
workforce.
Social
Media in Education
Today, we can see education
institutions adapting these developments into their systems and relying on
group resources and mechanisms to improve student life. The use of social media
in education helps students, teachers and parents to get more useful
information, to connect with learning groups and other educational systems that
make education convenient.
Social network tools afford students and institutions with multiple
opportunities to improve learning methods. Through these networks, you can
incorporate social media plugins that enable sharing and interaction. Students
can benefit from online tutorials through YouTube, online courses delivered by
universities abroad through Skype and a wide array of resources that are shared
through social networks.
There is valuable knowledge to be gained through social media such as analytics
and insights on various topics or issues for study purposes. As an educational
institution, it is crucial to be active in many social platforms possible, this
helps create better student training strategies and shapes student culture.
The great thing about using social media in education is that you soon learn
who the experts are in different fields and subjects. When you start following
these experts you learn more and gain useful content from them, this empowers
you to produce great results.
Social media has the ability to broaden your perspective on various subjects
and gives illuminating, instant content that is new. You have the opportunity
of engaging experts to get answers on topics that you may need help in.
