- A one-minute thinking time at the beginning of the question and answer session time, during which the presenter observes silence.
Common Question and Answer Problems
- In a typical question-and-answer session, the speaker calls out, “Who has a question?”, guess who raises their hand, and the dialogue begins.
- Those who were trying to think of a question are interrupted before they can organize their thoughts. Because they want to hear the dialogue.
- Those unfamiliar with questions need time to organize their thoughts and formulate questions.”
- As soon as the dialogue is over, they call out, “Next questioner~,” so there is no time to think.
- If the content was flowing all the time, I would be too busy listening to it to gather my thoughts.
improvement plan
- Start with one minute of thinking time
- Raise your hand if you have a question.
- He shakes the number, “Then you’re number three.”
- After the thinking time is over, ask and answer questions in turn, “Okay, number 1 person -“.
- When it’s all over, it’s time to go back to thinking time.
I devised and tested it in my lecture Intellectual production techniques of engineers and physical education-type classes. The presenter must also remain silent during the one-minute thinking time. There is no point in speaking if you let the anxiety of silence get the better of you.

I’ve tried “Catch-all presentation” taught by @nishio inBPStudy #135 several times, and all have been a great success with lots of questions, so I can only thank him!
relevance - slido style - During the above experiment, the question was “raise your hand, orally.” - Wouldn’t it be better to digitize that too in the first place? - Using sli.do
