- Before you begin to discuss you must first understand the goal of group discussion. Once you realize the goal, you will be able to focus on specific objectives of group discussion.Group discussion goals can be either simple or complex goal.However the basic purpose of group discussion is to allow members to brainstorm and talk amongst each other. The main goal group discussion is to share your knowledge and provide your information to the group members.It is important to understand that you need to partake in the discussion but never overtake.
- During group discussion, you will notice that there are two main types of people; First one is of soft-spoken type and the other is of outspoken type of personality; One set of people remain quiet while others are dominant. It is important to understand that both type of people are important in group discussion.However, You must know how to handle the dominant members. By learning how to handle the dominant members, you will be able to direct the discussion in a way that will open an opportunity for other members to participate and speak up. Thus by providing opportunity to people with both types of personality, the group will be able to discuss more meaningfully and will also have potential to gather more information than by allowing only the dominant members to takeover group discussion.
- Let use now proceed to learn how discussing in smaller group makes an impact during group discussion.If the number of dominant members outweigh the quiet ones, You can consider dividing the group up into smaller groups. By dividing the group, you will be able to give each group a specific task to accomplish. Thus by placing dominant members in smaller groups in association with passive members will allow the discussion to gather many more ideas. This will facilitate in gathering their comments and include relevant topics to the discussion at hand. Sub-Groups will keep the discussion moving ahead and prevents outspoken members from becoming group distraction as a whole. This is because the dominant outspoken members will be active in all the Sub-Groups and the discussion is bound to become more interactive and lively.
- Once you are able to divide outspoken dominant members into sub-groups, you need to learn handling the passive and quiet members.While the dominant members will be very outspoken, quiet members will, of course, be the exact opposite. Passive members generally use their mind to form ideas.Generally passive members do not speak out quickly due to shyness or a similar cause.

You can present a question to the group and then have each member answer it.You can also let the group members to speak their thoughts individually.
- Often during group discussion one can notice few members who lack extensive knowledge in the topic being discussed.The discussion cannot proceed nor succeed if members are unaware how to bring forth relevant issues.There are different options you can consider for establishing connection between such members and the rest of the group.Group Leaders create this connection between members of the group. You can make use of a visual aide or guide to help members understand the concept that is being discussed and get them involved.

Asking open-ended questions during group discussion generally provides the best result, that is it brings out more information. Open-ended questions allow room for endless answers because no one specific answer is final. This means the discussion is limitless and could lead in different directions. Whereas asking close-ended questions will typically lead to nowhere, close-ended does not help the group in realizing the full potential of the group.All the measures presented in this presentation basically makes an attempt to meet the basic objective of group discussion which is to allow members to brainstorm and talk amongst each other.
