FOCUS GROUP #1: College Students Share Their Needs and Hopes
from SWISSCAST with Suhaib Webb · host Suhaib Webb
From time to time, I will post focus groups I've facilitated with different demographics of Muslims. Listening is essential; perhaps one of the best ways to learn about the needs of people. By listening, educators are able to hand-tailor the needs of learners. The MSA at The John Jay College of Criminal Justice invited me for a series of talks on dawa. Instead of starting with a lecture, they broke up into groups and focused on the following: What kind of dawa would help me reach my potential What are my personal dawa needs What are my environmental dawa needs Their thoughts are valuable, as I told them, "gold" for anyone working with college students and engaged in religious education and ministry. I left with a lot to think about, and I appreciated their sharing. If you like the work I do, please support me by signing up for my online institute, SWISS at suhaibwebb.com

What this episode covers
As I establish and continue to re-vamp the SWISS curriculum, I employed a model that engages learners, making them the teachers. That allows me to listen, take constructive criticism and hear the hopes, needs and questions of people. That is important because pedagogy must respect sociology. This is the last part of a session that I requested college students to break into groups and reflect on a series of questions.
