In the classes where this method is applied, all trainees are more active and enthusiastic. In the classes where the one-way communication method was applied, most of trainees were silent and it was difficult for trainers to know if trainees really understood what they had been taught. Trainees concentrate on lectures. Concentration is an important factor for trainees to absorb training material. Because they are divided into groups, they inevitably participate in discussions, and consequently they are more interested in the material and can concentrate on the lectures given by trainers.
Trainees learn how to express their opinion.
One of the by-products of training using the discussion method is that trainees can learn how to express their opinion clearly and constructively. There are people who are capable of expressing their opinions well and those who tend not to express their opinions. In discussion sessions, trainees have to present their own opinions about how to solve problems and discuss them with others to find the best solutions. Trainers and trainees may offer their own experiences and problems in such discussions. Then, all trainees and trainers attempt to solve the problems together.
