Discussion
A step higher on our taxonomy of instructional techniques is discussion. This differs from the previous level in that neither the teacher
nor the student holds the upper hand. In this situation the teacher is concerned with a very different treatment of information than
possible using the previous methods. Discussions involve the exchange of ideas. With this approach a teacher hopes to develop
greater depth of thinking and perhaps to foster the manipulation of information for solving problems rather than just the acquisition of
knowledge.
Some might argue that discussion is not the most appropriate term for what teachers wish to accomplish. In fact, discussion does refer
more to the arguing of points of view whereas dialogue refers to an exchange of ideas. In either case, the instructional intent is to take
students beyond “just the facts” and to engage them in a more poignant treatment of the subject matter.
