Rounding Robin and Numbering Heads Together The Qualitative Sampling Techniques


We received a last minute revision on our exam questions today and had to do it differently this time backwards.

So, in groups of four, each table brainstormed (took turns giving ideas on the answer to those 3 questions)and then a secretary simultaneously recorded ideas as well as participated in the brainstorming. A moderator has been assigned to facilitate the table discussion. The teacher after a designated time-limit gathered the papers.

In the next set, the students rearranged themselves and made sure they sat in a group with new members. With heads together, they each gave a summary of the answer and evaluation of their previous group on their assigned question.

In the 3rd set, which will happen next meeting, they will finish the second set first and then mix up to make another new set for reflection.

FOR THE NEXT SET OF QUESTIONS, I PLAN TO DO THE "BALLOON BURSTING ACTIVITY", WHERE EACH GROUP HAVE TO BURST BALOONS WITH THEIR BEHINDS ON THE FLOOR TO GET INFORMATION AND SHARE AND TEACH IT BACK TO THEIR GROUP. EACH MEMBER GETS TO HAVE A CHANCE TO BURST A BALLOON WITH ONE A PIECE OF INFORMATION IN IT TO COMPLETE THE CONTENT FOR THE REQUIRED SET OF QUESTIONS.

THEN TREASURE HUNT THE QUESTIONS WHERE EACH MEMBER WILL BE ASSIGNED A QUESTION TO FIND AND ANSWER AND CAN THEN JOIN UP WITH THE GROUP FOR HELP IN ANSWERING THE QUESTION.
