The group leaders ensured that all
the members in their groups took active part in the discussion. They noted down the important points for
presentation. They had already downloaded some important information from the
internet which they incorporated into their points for presentation. At the end of the discussion, the group
leaders were asked to sit in the chairs arranged at the front of the class and
talk to the audience representing their groups.
All the leaders did an excellent
job of presenting the views of their group and they took questions from the audience
and answered them very confidently and convincingly. Another three
students also spoke supplementing the
presentation of their group leaders. In short , it was a new learning
experience for the whole house students and they enjoyed it.
Reflection
The conduct of the group discussion
gave me a new insight into the role of the group guidance activities in
teaching-learning process. All teaching-learning is not as much about
transmitting information to students as
creating opportunities in the class for them to think , refer, plan ,
organize, interact, talk and perform. All this ultimately leads to creating and
acquiring knowledge -the crux of constructivism.
Though conducting group discussion
was nothing new to me , this method of organizing the activity taught me how to
do it in a more structured and meaningful way which ensured the participation
of the entire house students .
To
sum up, now I feel more confident and well-equipped to organize group
discussion in my House and class as I am class teacher as well as house Master
for 40 students of different class that too in residential school like Jawahar
Navodaya Vidyalay Schools
