Suitable Starting of a Small Teaching Group
author
Abstract:
Using small groups in teaching and learning has a long history. Evidence suggests that by applying some defined guidelines, it would be possible to reinforce the effectiveness of the small groups teaching. One of these guidelines is related to ice-breaker activities which would be applied by the facilitators at the start of the session, which are noticeably significant. The aim of the present article is to introduce some of these activities and their general rules for application. Key words: Small groups, Teaching, Learning, Ice-breaker activities How to cite this article: Rezaeian M. Suitable Starting of a Small Teaching Group. J Rafsanjan Univ Med Sci 2020; 18 (12): 1309-15.
