Explain the meaning of a discussion

Explain the meaning of a discussion

---

Discussion, according to Laban et al, (1969), is a learning device in which every participant contributes a little and each learns from all. It is a means of thinking together to bring out the facts, the possible interpretations and different points of view on any particular question. A discussion is not a debate where the speaker sets out to prove he is right and those who disagree
with him are wrong. In a discussion ideas are important and each participant has a chance to develop those he favors and challenge those he thinks are untenable.
