Groups in College Level
I often experience my college level students saying things like, "We aren't in H.S. anymore! Why are we in groups?" This sentiment, I believe, is expressed for a few reasons. One of which can be, meaningless tasks in H.S. level for groups can create a negative association with groups causing it to be unsuccessful.
Christie,
this is true & this is why we must make sure that we carefully plan the group activities that we use & also emphasize the use of groups & teams in today's work environment.
