CPA: Groups Teach
| Purpose: |
|
| Time: | At least 30 minutes, depending on the number of participants, groups and the complexity of the content being introduced. |
| Materials: |
|
| Process: | I) Before the actual workshop divide the content you are planning to introduce in two or more chunks. Prepare visual aids/handouts on each chunk. II) Divide the plenary into two or more groups (depending on the number of chunks you have divided the content in). Explain that you are going to introduce new content, that this content has been divided in chunks and that each group will work on a separate chunk. NOTE: there are several ways to do this. One option is when there is more than one facilitator and each one can deliver a chunk of the content to one group. When this is not possible, you can choose to send handouts with content chunks before of the workshop and have volunteer participants deliver the content in each group. Alternatively, you can distribute to each group a specific content chunk handout and allow time for them to study and discuss it. Example: You are introducing Gene Sharp’s theory of power (Sharp, Gene, The Politics of Nonviolent Action – Part One: Power and Struggle, Boston: Porter Sargent, 2000 (1973)). You decide to divide the content into four chunks: 1) The basic nature of political power; 2) Social roots of political power; 3) Why people obey; 4) The role of consent. You divide the plenary into four groups and have each group working on one chunk. III) Start group work. Have each group working on a specific section (chunk) of the content. Allow sufficient time. IV) Stop group work. Invite participants to form pairs with one member from each of the groups(or triads, or groups of four, etc. depending on working groups you have created at the II step of the process). Example: After groups have worked on different parts of Sharp’s theory of power, have each member from each group form a team with one member from each of the other groups. Being that you divided the content in four parts and participants had consequently bee divided into four working groups, you will now have several teams of four people. Each individuals in these new groups of four people having worked on a different chunk of the content. V) Ask each member of the newly formed groups to share her knowledge. The groups’ task is to put together the whole content. Assign sufficient time. VI) Ask each team to develop a real life example that illustrates the content introduced. |
