Using Games for Debriefing

Abstract

A d-game is a special type of framegame that structures debriefing after the completion of any experiential activity. This article presents a seven-phase model for debriefing, with each phase identified by a key type of question. It describes and discusses eight d-games that are related to various phases in the debriefing procedure. Applications of the d-games are illustrated with reference to a common base activity. © 1992, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
