ABSTRACT

Recommended uses: for enabling well-paced and well-sequenced reviewing and for developing learning skills. Create a huge circle with the longest rope that you can find or create four circles representing the four stages of the learning cycle. Recommended use: for developing empathy and providing feedback. Changing places' is a reviewing method that allows people to see how others see them. It is a combination of several techniques in one: a feedback exercise, a guessing game, an empathy exercise, fish bowl and a buddy system. The basic concept is quite simple but the method is only suitable for groups where trust is well established and where individuals are open to personal feedback. As each person is given one genuine positive comment they step back to the original circle. You reach a stage where two or three people are in the middle waiting for positive feedback.
