Step 3 Clarification of Ideas. Open discussion of the generated ideas took place in
the third stage. The members discussed each concept written on the chart. Questions
about the concepts were posed resulting in a clarification of the ideas. This discussion
facilitated the combining of similar concepts and the generation of a final list of concepts.
Step 4 Ranking of Ideas. The goal of this step was to reach a consensus on the
concepts that should be included in the curriculum module. Each of the eight members
was given 10 adhesive dots to place on the concepts s/he considered most important.
Each member was permitted to place up to two dots on any particular concept.
Step 5 Presentation and discussion of the results of the voting process. After the
group leader counted the votes, the group decided to select only those concepts that
received at least seven votes. These were then prioritized into four categories of learning
outcomes: sustainable development, socio-economic and cultural issues, environmental
impacts and employment processes. The results of this discussion are presented next and
summarized in Exhibit 3.
