Advantages and Disadvantages of Group Discussion
A group discussion (GD) is a technique for exchanging ideas and point of view. The main goal of a group discussion is to provide each participant with an opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas on a particular topic, as well as to encourage listening and learning from other members of the group.
T
The panellist or moderators will start introducing themselves and offer you guidelines for the process in a normal group discussion session. The group will then have around 10-15 minutes to pause and prepare before having about 30 minutes to discuss the topic. The time restrictions might change depending on the process. The panellist judges the applicants' performance using an assessment form and a specified marking scheme.
Group discussions are important for self-growth, but not everyone engaged in the discussion will have the same perspectives. Some may have had good experiences, and some may have had bad ones.
Advantages of Group Discussion
Encourages the development of Critical Thinking
Because it gives everyone a chance to voice their opinions and have their views questioned, group discussions encourage the development of critical thinking. Active participation in a conversation increases the probability that participants will analyze their own beliefs and think the merits of other points of view. This inspires a participant to express more carefully and critically on a certain subject.
Additionally, it broadens the group members' perspectives. Because everyone's perspective is heard and questioned, a group discussion enables members to think more creatively and develop new ideas.
Enhances Communication
The practice of listening, processing information, thinking critically, and expressing their opinions to others. Group discussions help people improve their communication abilities. A group discussion gives participants a chance to practice how to communicate effectively with various personality types and how to negotiate in order to achieve an agreement.
For instance, people learn to listen during a group conversation by paying attentive attention to what others are saying and asking relevant questions. Moreover, individuals may practice respectfully and effectively responding to criticism and opposing viewpoints. They can also enhance their ability to defend their point of view without becoming aggressively defensive.
