CPA: QuestionsThis is a featured page

Purpose:
  • To stimulate participants to investigate the content introduced;
  • To help participants transform the content introduced “into their words”.
Time:At least 20 minutes.
Participants:Any number.
Materials:
  • Flip chart papers;Markers;
  • Visual aids illustrating the specific content being introduced;
  • Blank index cards and pencils for participants.
Process:I) Before of the training, prepare a presentation of the content you would like to introduce to participants. Prepare visual aids to help participants follow you during the presentation. Try to contain your presentation in maximum 10 minutes or break it down in chunks if it gets longer.

II) Divide the plenary in triads and allow members to sit close one another.

III) After your presentation ask triads to generate a list of questions related to the content introduced and further exploring it. Tell them to generate as many questions as possible. Allow sufficient time.

IV) Now ask triads to select the top-five questions, those they think most relevant.

V) Have each triad couple with another triad. Have them asking and answering to their respective questions.
Note: Alternatives to this process include:

  • You can have larger groups, with 5-6 people;
  • You can facilitate it as an individual work: after the presentation, ask each participant to generate a list of questions, write them down on an index card. Then form couples and have individuals exchanging Q&As.
  • Also, as individual work: you can ask participants to let circulate the cards with questions and have each one individually reflect on the questions. Let the cards circulate several times.
