Definition
of Fishbowl Method
According to Taylor (2007: 54) fishbowl is a way to organize a medium to large-group discussion that promotes student engagement and can be used to model small-group activities and discussions. Fishbowls have been used by group work specialists and in counseling.
Otim (2013: 27) this technique provides a physical structure that allows participants on the ‘outside’ to see something being done on the ‘inside’. Participants may observe a role play of an actual situation, such as a discussion or a planning meeting.
Based on Barkley, Cross,& Major. (2005)Fish bowl is a technique used in classrooms where group dynamics are important. This technique allows for a deeper discussion of any given topic. It helps build a sense of community and focuses the attention on the ways that a group might work together more productively. In a language arts classroom, it can demonstrate how groups can collaborate to construct meaning from a text. They model peer literature circle discussions as students analyze a text and connect their responses with others.
In Fishbowl, an outer circle of students sits around a smaller, inner circle of students. Students in the inner circle engage in a depth discussion, while students in the outer circle consider what will say and how to say. This collaborative technique has also been called Inside outside Circles. Inner circle students are challenged to participate in a high-level discussion while the outer circle is able to be listener of the discussion and critique content, logic, and group interaction. This technique therefore serves two purposes to provide structure for in-depth discussion and to provide opportunities for students to model or observe group processes in a discussion setting (Elizabeth, et al., 2005:145-146).
Based on the above definitions, it can conclude that the fishbowl method is a medium to large-group discussion that promotes the students engagement. This technique provides a physical structure that allows the students in the ‘outside’ to see something being done in the ‘inside’. It helps the students to build a sense of community and focuses the attention on the ways that a group may be work together more productively. Fishbowl method has an outer circle of the students sits around a smaller, inner circle of the students. The students in the inner circle do a depth discussion, while students in the outer circle consider what will say and how to say.
