Here’s an interactive hands-on activity for adult learners to practice Creating and Understanding Simple Flowcharts, along with a materials list:
Objective:
Participants will analyze and create simple flowcharts based on real-world scenarios, improving their ability to visualize processes and decision-making.
Steps:
Introduction to Flowcharts
Show examples of workplace flowcharts (decision trees, process maps, troubleshooting guides).
Discuss the purpose and key elements of flowcharts (start/end points, decision diamonds, process steps).
Flowchart Interpretation Challenge
Provide participants with different types of flowcharts.
Ask them to extract key information and answer questions about the process flow.
Create Your Own Flowchart
Assign a real-world scenario (e.g., workplace process, customer service workflow, troubleshooting a device).
Participants sketch a simple flowchart to represent the steps and decisions visually.
Peer Review & Discussion
Participants exchange flowcharts and interpret each other’s work.
Discuss clarity, effectiveness, and improvements.
Final Refinement & Presentation
Participants refine their flowcharts based on feedback.
Present their flowcharts and explain their reasoning.
Paper: Graph paper, plain sheets, worksheets.
Writing Tools: Pens, pencils, markers, highlighters.
Reference Materials: Sample flowcharts (decision trees, process maps).
Scenario Cards: Pre-written real-life flowchart interpretation problems.
Rulers & Templates: For structured diagram creation.
Sorting Trays: For organizing different types of flowcharts.
This activity helps adult learners interpret, create, and refine flowcharts, making them more confident in using visual information in workplace settings.
