Using In-Class Movement to Facilitate Participation and Minimize Groupthink in Ethical Decision-Making
Jennifer L. Eury; Tyler Burch
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v30 2024
In the present manuscript an experiential exercise is presented that requires students to consider ethical dilemmas, and physically move to one corner of the room that best represents their stance on the issue, creating a visual representation of the decision-making outcomes across the class. From there, representatives from each location are asked to verbalize the rationale for their decision, challenging the students to reflect on and critically think about not only what they decided but more importantly the reason for their decision. This "voting with their feet" facilitates an increase in participation among reluctant participants, minimizes opportunities for groupthink in ethical decision-making, and helps students to appreciate how peers come to different decisions using similar/different philosophical rationale (e.g., utilitarianism, deontology). A detailed overview of how to implement this exercise, as well as variations on how to use it is provided.
