Student Group Discussion

SGD or Student Group Discussion is a group discussion conducted by students and their teacher who come together to discuss a topic related to moral, social, or spiritual character education. Students are grouped into teams of five to seven members from their respective classes. They hold a special group discussion with their homeroom teacher once a week. This discussion lasts approximately 40 minutes and covers a predetermined character education topic. During this time, the teacher asks several evaluation questions and gives each student the opportunity to express their opinions.
