Ten
Occasions to Use Response Cards
Complimentary Tool for Training
and Development
One of the simplest ways to engender thought
and discussion is to ask participants to write a response on a blank index
card. These cards, once written on, can be kept by the writer to ponder
and to stimulate contributions to class-wide discussion. Or the cards
can be collected, shuffled, and distributed to participants (each of whom
then receives a card whose author is unknown). Finally, the cards can
be passed around a group so that each participant can read what others
have written. There are many things you can ask participants to write
on their response cards.
- A question
about the subject matter of the session.
What do you think the "platinum rule" is?
- An answer
to a test question posed by the trainer.
Force-field analysis is a problem-solving technique.
- An expectation or need each participant
has about the session.
I want to learn how to accommodate workers with disabilities.
- A solution to a case problem.
One way that Mr. Brown can reduce his tax burden is by purchasing
tax-defered annuities.

for an important term.
Sexual harassment means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors, or remarks that interfere with the performance of one's job.
- A belief or opinion held by the
participant.
A diverse workforce has more benefits than drawbacks.
- A fact about the subject
matter that the participant believes to be true.
The AIDS virus has a long latency period.
- A hypothesis about an experience

- A preference
held by the participant.

Just do it!
