The role of the facilitator involves all of the following except to
a. Encourage group members to go beyond the current discussion or debate to encourage sharing of perspectives.
b. Instruct participants that all points of view are valid and helpful and to not ask speakers to defend their positions.
c. Prepare for the facilitation experience by developing a few preconceived ideas about the topic in order to direct the discussion most effectively.
d. Reflect on inconsistencies among the views of participants and with their own thinking.
ANS: C
Facilitators should prepare themselves to be effective moderators of the discussion, but to not develop preconceived ideas about the topic as this may hinder their ability to hear the perspectives of the group members. Encouraging group members to stretch their thinking and to share their perspectives is the role of an effective facilitator. It is important to instruct group members at the outset of the meeting that all views are valid and helpful to the researcher in understanding the topic. Once rapport is established with the group, one of the facilitator's roles is to reflect on inconsistencies among the participants and in their own thinking to challenge ideas and increase group interaction.
