Do you focus on what you’ve learned, rather than what you’ve achieved?
I was challenged by a friend recently; she was making the point that we routinelyask clients to represent the complexities of situation or organisation in a way thatreduces them to banal simplicity. What she asked me to do was to capture my lifeas it is today in a single representational diagram. I made several starts, only toabandon an attempt as ...

These Chiji Processing Dice are an easy-to-use tool for the novice experiential educator and a fun addition to the experienced educator’s processing and activity review collection and methods.
Chiji is a Chinese word that means “key moment,” but within the definition is both the moment itself and the person’s reaction to that moment.
Chiji Processing Dice are an example of participant-directed processing: they help shift some of the responsibility for successful processing, and therefore deeper learning, from the facilitator to the participants during a processing session, or activity review, as part of the Kolb reflective cycle process
The sequence of fact-finding, analysis and feelings, and transference not only takes participants through a progression for processing a specific event, but also presents an overall lesson on proper processing.
It also therefore provides a useful metacognitive activity in processing learning, modelling good practice and helping participants to self-process in future.
The 3 x question dice are designed to be rolled in sequential order: red, orange, then yellow, and the blue control die accompanies them each time.
For example rolling the red and blue dice initially could provide the instruction for each person on each side of the blue die roller to answer the initial red question: What did you think was the purpose?
A second roll might provide the instruction for the blue dice roller to pick a person to answer the red question ‘What was your contribution?’.
These basic fact-finding questions on the red die are followed by the analysis and feeling questions on the orange die, and finally the transference questions on the yellow die.

Why use Chiji Processing Dice?
Chiji Processing Dice are an example of participant-directed processing: they help shift some of the responsibility for successful processing, and therefore deeper learning, from the facilitator to the participants during a processing session, or activity review, as part of a Kolb reflective cycle method.
The sequence of fact-finding, analysis and feelings, and transference not only takes participants through a progression for processing a specific event, but also presents an overall lesson on proper processing.
The Chiji dice are also intended to be fun!
They offer an alternative to straight question-and-answer review sessions, and the use of the blue Control die adds an element of chance that offers excitement and variety to traditional processing and experiential learning activity review methods.
The generic but useful processing questions supplied on each die face can be personalized for specific situations and learning objectives.
- Preplanned Customization: establish predetermined outcomes for a specific activity and develop fact-finding, analysis and feeling, and transference questions for that event. Write them on the blank adhesive circles and attach them to the appropriate die.
For example if the purpose of the group is to enhance cooperation, the fact-finding die might have questions asking for specific examples of teamwork, lack of teamwork, communication and lack of communication. - Spontaneous Customization: write questions during the experiential learning activity/task completion, prompted by the facilitator’s observations.
For example a breakdown in communication is observed, and then out of frustration, a member of the group takes authoritarian control of the group as a way to complete the task. The facilitator wants to process this event, so quickly writes questions on blank die circles such as: ‘How did you feel about one person taking charge of the group?’, or ‘Why did the communication process that had been used earlier, suddenly break down?’. As these are analysis/feelings questions they would be applied to the orange die.
