Using group methods

Small-group work is a method for generating free communication among the participants, and between the Moderator and the participants. The Moderator can make positive use of the differences in knowledge and attitudes among participants, as they interact with each other. Small-group work enables participants to gain a great deal from their fellows, in a type of communication that cannot take place in a lecture hall. Group methods have the particular merit that, when properly used, all participants take part and each can see for themselves the impact on others of the views they hold. Groups are also change systems: participants in the process of group dialogue attend to facts and attitudes expressed by other participants, and reconsider their own positions. The Moderator does not merely accept views stated, but must help the Group to identify any misperceptions and biases of the participants. This he achieves by encouraging them to communicate their ideas and to correct each others’ errors of grasp as these gradually emerge. Only when participants themselves fail to do so need the Moderator step in to provide corrective feedback. Minimal intervention characterizes a competent group leader, but that in no way implies passivity or mere compliance on his or her part.
