This method, known as a "sociogram" or "line-up", is an agile way of getting to know each other.
According to certain questions, students position themselves on imaginary or sketched axes in the room. One axis can be used for a one-dimensional categorisation (line-up).
Examples of this are
- How well do you know the subject area XY?
- How important do you consider the topic XY?
The participants (students and teachers) are dependent on each other when it comes to localisation. They have to coordinate in order to choose positions. After localisation, everyone is given the opportunity to explain their position, and possibly also the position of other participants.
Localisation is also possible in a two-dimensional coordinate system (sociogram) but also on imaginary maps, city maps or in space (e.g. 4-corner method).
