Deliberative Discussion is a “...shared inquiry that asks participants to talk through and weigh the costs and consequences of a variety of options of solutions to a public problem. At the heart of deliberation is the group's willingness to work through the conflicts, to accept the consequences of their choices, and to establish grounds for action.
- excerpt from “Deliberative discussion as an innovative teaching strategy,” Goodin HJ, Stein D., J Nurs Educ. 2008 Jun;47(6):272-4.
