CPA: Leading Questions
| Purpose: |
|
| Time: | 20 minutes, depending on the content being processed. |
| Participants: | At least 5-6 participants. It can be difficult with over 25-30 participants. |
Materials: |
|
Process: | I) Before the workshop, read and familiarize with the content you would like to introduce. Break down the content into two or more parts if necessary, for introduction at different times during the workshop. II) Prepare a list of key questions on the content. If you have divided the content into parts, prepare a list of questions on each part. These questions should help exploring participants’ ideas and beliefs on the content you would like to introduce. There are no rights or wrongs; your questions shouldn’t check “if participants know the topic” but foster exploration. Open questions are advisable. III) During the workshop, announce that you are going to facilitate a discussion on a specific topic by asking questions. Write the title of the topic on the flip chart. IV) Start asking questions and facilitate the discussion. Whenever you find it useful, introduce pieces of content as you have studied it. Try to do this in a dialogical way, possibly avoiding lecturing participants. Let your ideas be discussed by participants. Example: You would like to introduce Gene Sharp’s “theory of power and consent” during a workshop on nonviolence. You study the paper “The Role of Power in Nonviolent Struggle (available at <www.aeinstein.org/organizations/org/TheRoleofPowerinNonviolentStruggle-English.pdf>). You think that introducing all the concepts and theories here exposed at once would be too much, thus you decide to distribute this content across two days and four separate moments during the workshop. You divide this content into four parts. The first part is the paragraph “Dependent Rulers” (pp. 3-5). You prepare these questions:
You lead the discussion with these questions and introduce bits of content from Sharp’s paper when appropriate. You follow the same procedure for the other parts of content. |
