Group Facilitation: A Research and Applications Journal is a multi-disciplinary publication focused on the art and science of group facilitation published by the International Association of Facilitators (http://www.iaf-world.org). The aim of the journal is to advance our knowledge of group facilitation and its implications for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities.
Group Facilitation features articles from diverse perspectives, including organizational learning and development, group and system dynamics, collaborative technology, negotiation, mediation, leadership, decision-making, conflict resolution, cross-cultural contexts, and education. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, facilitator roles within the group, interventions for conflict management, descriptions of specific facilitation methods, approaches to facilitating specific tasks such as idea generation or priority setting, using computer technology to support facilitation, increasing participation in organizations, exploring the underlying values, beliefs and models of facilitation, and applying facilitation skills and concepts to various settings.
The journal, while practitioner focused, is academically robust. A variety of methods are appropriate, such as case studies, ethnographic studies, and survey or laboratory research. Book reviews are featured regularly. The primary consideration for publication is the ability of the article to inform the practitioner and stimulate the researcher.
In publication since 1999, we invite you to look over our previous issues:
