Trainees are more active. In classes where the discussion method is applied, trainees are divided into several groups. After that, the trainer and trainees discuss the subject further. 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.
