To explore and discuss strategies an instructor can use to maintain functional groups in the classroom. Session Objective Not searching for peas in a pod

Positive interdependence Individual accountability Promotive interaction (face-to-face) Use of teamwork skills Group processing Five Elements of Cooperative Learning Johnson, Johnson & Smith. “Maximizing Instruction Through Cooperative Learning.” AAHE Prism. Feb. 1998

List 5 behaviors or actions that can undermine good group function. Report out in 5 minutes. The Top 5 Ways to Wreck a Group

Dawn’s Eight O’Clock What if anything is wrong with this group? What could be done to help this group work better? Could this situation have been prevented? Questions to consider:

Videotape Credits Author: “Dawn’s Eight O’Clock” – Harold White Director: Nancy King Producers: Deborah Allen and Harold White Student Actors: Melissa Reddish, Michelle Lyons, Eric Moskal, Crystal Mack, Amanda Simons

Set the stage early. Form heterogeneous groups. Use permanent groups. Rotate roles of responsibility. Rely on group-selected ground rules. Conduct peer evaluations. Suggestions for Using Groups

Explain why learning in groups is a good strategy. Ask students to report on past experiences. Talk about support mechanisms. Use group warm-up activities. Suggestions for Getting Started

Forming Groups Randomly heterogeneous - “counting off” : - from roster - in class Intentionally heterogeneous, based on information: - from student records - supplied by students

 Discussion Leader Keeps group on track; maintains full participation Rotating Roles  Accuracy Coach Checks group understanding; finds resources  Reporter Reports out during whole class discussion; writes up final draft of assignments  Recorder Records assignments, strategies, unresolved issues, data; convenes group outside of class

Examples of Ground Rules Come to class on time every day. Come to class having done the assignment and prepared to discuss it. Must notify members of the group ahead of time if must miss class for any reason. Be willing to share information. Respect the views, values, and ideas of other members of the group. If members of the group violate these ground rules, other members of the group may impose the following consequences:

Use predetermined written criteria that focus primarily on behaviors. Do at least 2X per semester. Factor results into students’ grades. Summarize results and distribute summaries. Keep the process simple. Incorporate into group assignments. Peer Evaluation Some general suggestions:

Use well-defined activities with clearly stated objectives. Bring the class together for discussion and/or clarification at frequent intervals. Plan both group and individual assignments. Look for signs of behaviors that undermine group function. Use peer group facilitators. Using Groups in Larger Classes, with Inexperienced Students

A team of students had four members called Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. - Graham Gibbs, “Learning in Teams” nce upon a time...
