Nominal Group Technique : Application Towards The Construction Of A Visualization Skills Model Technical Communication Graphics Subject
Abstract
This article discusses the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) as an alternative strategy for developing lists of fun elements to model visualization skills. This method offers a structured approach to improve teachers' teaching and learning strategies to improve visualization skills. This research used NGT to systematically obtain and validate elements of enjoyment for inclusion in the model, involving a panel of experts who participated in a series of rounds to refine and prioritize elements based on their relevance and importance. Initially, 35 fun elements were identified through an extensive literature review. These were then presented to experts during NGT sessions, where they discussed, ranked and voted, leading to the selection of 28 key elements for model development. The findings show that the NGT technique facilitates efficient and effective validation of these elements, ensuring that they are robustly developed through expert consensus. Furthermore, the application of NGT in this research highlights its potential as a valuable addition to the diversity of research methods in Malaysia, especially in the field of education.
