The contributors maintain that the elements of teaching can be identified and consciously practiced. The essays describe the building blocks of group leadership, negotiating a "contract" governing the conduct of the group, orchestrating a constructive process of questioning, listening and responding, ways of encouraging independent thinking, and guiding participants towards useful roles in the interaction with one another. Other chapters in the volume take a broader, more philosophical view of discussion leadership. They cover the ethical considerations of discussion teaching, the special challenges of teaching technical material using this method and a participative mode of medical education. |
