Handout 13: Participant Observations
- Identify a group that you work with on a regular basis and would like to observe:
- What approach was used in making decisions? Did the group take clear steps (defining the task, thinking of solutions, carrying out a decision, and evaluating the decision)?
- When did the group, rather than an individual, make a decision? When did the opposite occur?
- How did the group evaluate its decisions?
- How were your observations similar to or different from what you expected?
- What question would you like to discuss with your coach/supervisor?
