Thinking Frame to encourage Effective Participation Anticipate a course of action. Weigh up the PROS (advantages) and CONS (disadvantages) by listing them Use this to help you reach a considered judgement. PROS CONS

Thinking Hats Put on your WHITE HAT. The white hat is about information, facts and figures. It’s also about being impartial – a very useful skill when trying to negotiate a balanced and workable solution to a problem.

Be an effective participant and not a free rider Be an effective participant and not a free rider! When working with other people decide what role you will each play. You should try to vary the role you take on to gain experience in each. What’s your role? Runner I try to find the resources needed to complete the task, such as equipment and dictionaries Summariser I prepare the groups presentation and summarise conclusions reached to see if the rest of the group agrees. Checker I check that all the facts the group will use are correct and will stand up to scrutiny Recorder I write down the major output of the group and synthesise the work of other group members Trouble Shooter I take notes and record what happened within the group. We use this debrief following the group work. Researcher My role is to collect background information and look up any additional information that is needed to complete the task.

Frame It! What I did that hindered a resolution: What I did to help resolve the situation: What other people did that helped: What other people did that hindered: Complete each section of the frame to see the full picture of the role you played in a problem solving task. Use it to help you develop the skills necessary to be even more of an effective participator next time.

Make friends and Influence People Stage 1: Make sure that everyone understands the issue under discussion, or the problem being solve. Stage 2: Brainstorm all the possible solutions – even those that seem a bit impractical. Write them down, perhaps in a list or on a spider diagram Stage 3: Now the hard part! You need to agree on the solution. Set a time limit (What about 5 or 10 minutes?) If you all agree at the end of this time, you’ve reached what’s called a consensus. Congratulations. If not keep going… Stage 4: You must now try to reach a compromise – this means a bit of ‘give and take’. Which were the most popular solutions? Select 2 or 3 and then one of the following: *what would you need to alter about this solution to make everyone accept it? *Which of the most popular solutions would you be willing to trial for a short time to see if it works? If you still haven't reached an agreement, move onto step 5. Stage 5: Hold a vote. You can do this in one of three ways: 1) A show of hands 2) A secret ballot 3) Label the solutions A, B, C, D… Each person should name their ‘top three’ while someone keeps a record. The solution that is named the most is accepted.
