Answer 2

Effective:

• Provide enough time and space for participants to gather their thoughts and contribute to the discussion: group discussions should encourage participants to debate ideas that may bring about different opinions in a given topic
• Treat participants with respect and consideration: group discussions should be framed in a context of respect so that they all have the opportunity to participate without being left aside.

Ineffective:

• Discourage alternate views or counterarguments: not allowing group participants to give their ideas and opinions when they do not agree on a given argument does not contribute to effective group discussions.
• Allow only the more verbal participants to lead the conversation: The idea of group discussions is that all voices are heard and not only those who are more prone to speaking.
• Assume participants all have the same beliefs when the group begins the discussion: The interesting thing about group discussions is the diversity of opinions and beliefs. Therefore, assuming that all participants think and behave the same way does not encourge debate among them.
