The Impact

This chapter introduces the concepts, principles and application of dialogue mapping. Dialogue mapping is a visual thinking tool for facilitating group meetings using a shared display. Experience of using dialogue mapping as well as other types of shared display in small-group discussion are discussed. The results, benefits and limitations of using different kinds of shared display in small-group discussion are compared and examined. Dialogue mapping produces better collaboration and shared understanding among students during discussion than using other shared displays. The impact of dialogue mapping on collaborative learning is explored. Factors influencing the effectiveness of group meetings in problem-based learning are also discussed.

New Challenges

The proliferation of information on the Internet introduces new challenges for educators. Although the Internet can provide quick and easy access to a wealth of information, it has virtually no quality control. Consequently, the Internet has rendered faculty more essential than ever as teachers of the analytic and evaluative skills students need to become educated consumers of information. In this article we describe an exercise using small-group discussion and individual problem-based learning to teach critical thinking about the Internet. Data from the exercise and from student evaluations support both its need and students' perceptions of its effectiveness.

Currently the Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Student Centered Learning (SCL) learning models are starting to be applied in universities with the aim of involving students actively in learning, one of which are Medical students of the UNS FK. One method of these learnings is Small Group Discussion (SGD). This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the SGD learning method that has been applied to Medical students of the UNS FK. The method used in this research is qualitative method. The result was found that the SGD learning method that had been applied was still less effective, but it was more effective compared to conventional learning methods. Therefore, it is necessary to make some improvements to this learning method so that it is more effective and the goal can be achieved.

Evaluation Survey

Biochemistry is widely considered an essential background in a Nutrition Course framework. At theFaculdade de Saude Publica, USP, it is a direct requirement to eight disciplines of the syllabus and anindirect requirement to another nine disciplines. Nevertheless, a previous interview study involvingNutrition students and Nutritionists revealed a contradictory image of Biochemistry. Although stu-dents and Nutritionists admitted the important role played by Biochemistry, most of the respondentsdeclared that they could not foresee any application of Biochemical contents in their professional life.Aiming to change this situation, a deep intervention in the Biochemistry discipline was carried on.The discipline was planned in such a way that all the contents to be taught was directly derived fromsubjects or situations matching the interests of nutrition students. Instead of a classical lecture basedcourse, collaborative learning was the methodological choice, taking advantage of practical activitiesinvolving educational software and laboratory work as well. The course was carried on in 180 hoursand a variety of strategies were employed, especially small group discussion and problem solving. Thestudents were given a booklet containing all the exercises and problems, which acted as course guide.At the end of the course, an evaluation survey was carried out. It is noticeable that, according tostudents answers: 100% agreed that Biochemistry was intimately linked to Nutrition; 83% appreciatedthe didactical methodologies employed; 89% would like to continue studying Biochemistry in a furtherdiscipline; 96% declared that the discipline has raised their interest in Biochemistry. In respect tothe assessment of the students, these results are in accordance with the opinion of teachers and TAsengaged in restructuring Biochemistry courses.

Teaching Learning

The concept of Problem-based Learning (PBL) was first introduced at McMaster University in the late 1960s and was subsequently accepted widely by the medical schools throughout the world. hPBL has been intuitively viewed by many as a cocktail curriculum of McMaster style of small group discussion PBL (generally referred to as “pure PBL”) with the blending of variable amounts of traditional lectures, practical sessions and case-studies. Objectives: The study was done as an introduction of innovative teaching learning method and its learning experiences by students and faculty involved. The innovative teaching learning method was adapted during the year July – October - 2019 when the students were posted in the department of community medicine for four weeks. The TL methods included were blended lectures; case scenarios (clinico social case pertaining to community medicine subject), pre test and post test MCQs, case presentation and in small group discussion were done. The experiences were obtained as the reflective writing from the students and the faculty involved in implementation of h-PBL. Majority of the students expressed that the learning was useful, interactive, thought provoking, interesting and the group discussion paved the way for communication skill development among the peers. The students said that the learning happened actively and scope for self directed learning was also incorporated in the implementation of h-PBL. Faculties involved were very enthusiastic especially during the group discussions, because the sociogram was excellently represented that almost all the students took part in the discussion. The h-PBL can be a part of the regular curriculum during the clinical postings which can include case based learning with blended lectures.

The Impact

This study aims to investigate the impact of using small group discussion technique on enhancing students’ speaking skill in English language department at Faculty of Arts and Science Kufrah –Benghazi University. The review of relevant literature revealed that previous researchers presented the advantages of small group discussion technique in teaching English around the world. So, the researcher believed that the use of small group discussion technique might promote students’ performance in speaking skill. The review of literature undeniably revealed that large group discussion technique mostly used by EFL lecturers to teach speaking skill were not solid enough. The advantage of the small group discussion technique over the large group discussion technique was investigated by testing the hypotheses and research questions set after conducting the literature review. The quasi-experimental research design as used in this study. English language department at Faculty of Arts and Science Kufrah was chosen for experimental study with 30 students. A teacher- made task was used as an instrument of the study. The results proved that, the mean performance of the students exposed to small group discussion technique is higher than that of those exposed to the large group discussion. Based on the results, recommendations were made on the need to adopt small group discussion to ameliorate students’ performance in speaking skill in Libyan universities.

Industry Professionals

Universities are increasingly emphasising and utilising close ties with industry and industry professionals to keep up with the changing role of universities in society, from centres of learning to centres training graduates to be job-ready. This study investigates the effect of the utilisation of guest lecturers, specifically practicing industry professionals, and the related impact of limited small group discussion and continuity between lectures on undergraduate student learning. Two hundred and seventeen students were surveyed, 38 prior to and 179 after the addition of five full-cohort tutorials to the unit curriculum. These tutorials were added to assess the impact of tutorials on students’ perceptions of the unit for future implementation of small group tutorials. The survey investigated student perceptions of the benefits of a lecture/tutorial style unit and those of a seminar series style unit. It was found that students recognise the importance of both industry professionals as lecturers and small group discussion in tutorials, which are not always compatible. As a result, recommendations for a compromise between the two unit formats are given, in order to take advantage of the benefits of both styles of teaching for student learning. This study has implications for any subject with close ties to industry, where a seminar series from a diverse range of professionals may be seen as a more desirable way to introduce undergraduate students to the subject area.
