How to use «Discussion» in context?
Discussion is key to any student-to-student interaction. Whether it’s in the classroom, over IM, or anytime two individuals are conversing, the ability to have a dialogue is essential to understanding another person. At its core, a discussion is simply a two-way conversation in which each participant has an opportunity to share their opinion. However, there are a number of things to consider when facilitating a discussion.
One important factor to consider is the purpose of the discussion. Is the goal to learn something new or to hash out an old conflict? Additionally, it’s important to set expectations for how participants will behave.
