It begins by establishing the purpose of a general college education as one that enhances a student's ability to solve problems, form sound judgments, and take intelligent action both as individuals and as members of society. The author emphasizes the importance of the discussion method as a means of achieving this educational goal. He argues that discussion allows students to develop the habits of reasoning and deliberation that are essential for lifelong learning. The author presents these ideas within the context of the author's experiences as part of a study group assembled to examine discussion techniques. The author distinguishes between two basic types of discussion techniques: those that emphasize student organization and articulation of their own ideas and those that rely on pre-organized and articulated "knowledge" presented by the instructor. The author believes that the first type of discussion is superior because it encourages students to think critically and independently. The author presents a range of practical strategies and techniques that instructors can use to facilitate student-led discussions. These include asking open-ended questions, encouraging students to challenge each other's ideas, and providing opportunities for students to summarize and synthesize their learning. The author acknowledges that effective discussion requires careful planning and skilled facilitation, but he believes that the benefits to students' intellectual development make it a worthwhile endeavor. Ultimately, this book provides a valuable resource for educators who are committed to creating dynamic and engaging learning environments through thoughtful, student-centered discussions.
