This activity can be carried out in different ways. A
paper carousel
may be used to gather
information, in which case the facilitator may wish to think about ease of movement for
groups between desks. Alternatively, pupils can remain seated in groups and use the template
below to consider the issues.
How does it work?
1. The facilitator may need to discuss with pupils the meaning
of SWOT and explain what
each term means, particularly the possible distinction between ‘strength’ and ‘opportunity’,
‘weakness’ and ‘threat’. ‘Opportunity’ and ‘threat’ should both concentrate on possible
future
implications, whilst ‘strength’ and ‘weakness’ may both involve
the generation of a list of
positives and negatives of the proposal as it stands, based on a consideration of what has gone
before.
2. Pupils are given the proposal to discuss or evaluate. Ideas are placed under the relevant
heading (S-W-O-T).
3. The facilitator may wish to concentrate on one heading at a time and get feedback before
moving on to the next heading. For example, pupils might
be given time to consider
‘strengths’ before moving on to ‘opportunities’.
4. During feedback, the facilitator may wish to use questions such as: what is good?
What is bad? What might happen now? What might prevent future progress?
