II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Guidelines for Conducting a Panel Discussion
A panel discussion is designed to provide an opportunity for a group to hear
several people knowledgeable about a specific issue or topic on present information and
discuss personal views. A panel discussion may help the audience further clarify and
evaluate their positions regarding specific issues or topics being discussed and increase
their understanding of the positions of others.
How to Proceed
1. Identify, or help participants identify, an issue or topic that involves an important
conflict in values and/or interests. The issue or topic may be set forth as a topical
question, a hypothetical incident, a student experience, an actual case, etc.
2. Select panelists who are well informed about and have specific points of view
regarding the issue or topic. A panel discussion that includes three to five panelists is
usually most workable. Select a leader or moderator.
3. Indicate to panelists the objectives. The panel discussion is designed to promote
and allow-time for panel members to prepare for the discussion. In some situations, ten
or fifteen minutes may be sufficient time for preparation while in other situations, panel
members may need to prepare several weeks in advance of the scheduled discussion.

4. Decide upon the format the panel discussion will follow. Various formats are
appropriate. The following procedures have been used effectively:
a. The leader or moderator introduces the topic, and the panelists present their
views and opinions regarding the issue or topic for a set amount of time.
b. The panelists discuss the issue or topic with each other by asking questions or
reacting to the views and opinions of other panel members. A specific amount of time
should be established.
c. The leader or moderator closes the discussion and provides a summary of panel
presentations and discussion.

d. The leader or moderator calls for a forum period during which the members of
the class may participate by addressing questions to various panel members or by
voicing their views and opinions. The forum period should be conducted by the panel
leader or moderator.
