(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Doha: QatarDebate Center — a member of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development — organised a training workshop entitled 'Basics of Arbitration aimed at preparing arbitrators during June 15-17.
A total of 25 trainees participated in the workshop, most of whom are former debaters or trained in debating, but they are new to arbitration.
The workshop, presented by the Center's debate instructors, Mohamad Salman Ali and Nadia Darwish, was held on the Webex platform, and a practical proposal was made to ensure the quality of the arbitration of the participants, by defining a debate and attaching some of its questions in terms of justifying the result, selecting the winning team and determining the grades.
It was sent to all the participants, and they met at the end of June after the evaluation, and for an hour, in order to discuss the debate, analyse it and listen to their justifications.
Trainer Nadia Darwish indicated that the training programme contained details of the distribution of individual grades and provided feedback to the competitors to help them gain experience in arbitration.
'The workshop aims to rehabilitate debaters able to arbitrate in local tournaments held in Tunisia and develop their arbitration skills by participating in workshops and special practical training hosted by the Center of Carthage in this field. 'Besides, it aims at knowing the level of participants to develop their capabilities and work to meet their needs and their ability to justify the result and establish fair degrees for teams in order to achieve greater quality, she added.
She also appreciated and praised the great interaction, enthusiasm and passion of the participants in learning about new skills during practical exercises about common logical fallacies and the cognitive biases which the arbitrator might make.
Instructor Mahdi Al Adhari said: 'I had the pleasure of participating in this session as it provided new knowledge related to the debate. Although I am a proficient instructor for debates in one of the similar programmes, I felt for the first time that I have gone a lot deeper in the field of arbitration, which directly affects the debaters and to know the accuracy in assigning grades and the sensitivity of this aspect, which, unfortunately, we may not find in some people.
In turn, the participant trainer Munther Al Yousifi said: 'My evaluation of the workshop combines the material and the methodology. In terms of the material, the introduction was rich and appropriate to the first level of arbitration. In terms of methodology, the submitted material was progressively chained and supported by realistic examples from previous debates with comments on the most important points in numbering and repetition.
He praised the Center's trainers and the information provided that indicates high experience and professionalism, explaining the intuition and integration between the trainer and the coach. Also, he highlighted the good ability to clarify ideas in different ways and answer all raised queries by voice and writing and request regular interference.
