Group work stage theory is defined as a “goal-directed activity with small groups of people aimed at meeting socioemotional needs and accomplishing tasks. This activity is directed to individual members of a group and to the group as a whole” (Magen, 1998, p. 123). By having a good definition of what group work stage theory is, we are able to understand the process. In doing so, this essay will describe each stage of the group work stage theory, and apply it to facilitation tasks, integrate it into

Integration: Immediately after reading the introduction to the article, the first word to come to mind was “out-group”. This term is referenced several times in our textbook, and in class.

I will reflect upon my experience of delivering a group presentation and examine the knowledge I have gained from preparing the presentation and the feedback received once the presentation was delivered. I struggled with the presentation from the day it was issued, not the academic side but the aspect of standing up and presenting it in front of the class. I tend to build these scenarios up so much in my head that I make myself more anxious. This is something I have always struggled with, upon
Recalling back the experience during the processes of completing the Speech to Imform, Speech to Persuade, and Group Presentation, I will draw a conclusion about this course and these three presentations in five aspects, comprising my previous perception of public speaking before this course; learning from the Speech to Inform; the goal and evaluation of Speech to Persuade; learning from the Group Presentation; the most important thing learned from this course. Before this course. I had learned some public
Investigating Osmosis in Potato Tissue Aim To estimate the concentration of sucrose in potato tissue. Hypothesis ========== I believe that the potato tissue that has been in the hypotonic (0.1M sucrose) solution will be more turgid than before, while the tissue in the isotonic (0.3M sucrose) will be similar to its previous state. The tissue that has been in the hypertonic (0.5M sucrose) should be far more placid than it was before. This is because of osmosis - water diffusing
presentation makes me nervous, as a group of 6 students this is our task, we selected Jikani's story, case scenario two this is most appropriate for everyone, we selected a case scenario that involved a family who is from South Sudan and is now been accepted as a refugee in Australia. As a group we were allocated a series of questions, which we had to format into a group oral presentation. As a group, we meet at the university campus library. We communicated as a group through Facebook messenger, as well
My group was composed with Cynthia Perez, Luisa Diaz, Karrah Lyday, and I. At first, we could not come up an idea that would benefit the university community until someone in the group mention the parking lot situation every student and faculty member faces in the morning. We did not have a plan at first, but our goal was to finish the question from the worksheet in which Cynthia took over by writing down all the answers. In my opinion, I feel that I did contribute within the group because I helped
The first activity was made for the students to decipher what shapes or objects have round edges. The objects included were sphere, cube, rectangular prism, cone, square based pyramid, and cylinder. The students were asked to make two groups of round and not round. The students were allowed to pick up and touch the pieces to get a better understanding of what the objects feel like. After the students had a clear understanding of what objects were round. I gave them objects from the classroom to

We divided the creation of the lesson’s activity and assessment; I took the activity and Stuart developed the 10 question quiz. We met outside of
This common hour was our last departmental meeting. I though the meeting was going to over view the next few weeks and how to start thinking about the things we are going to need in the coming weeks and semesters. Our session began with asking the group if we had been successful using the ideas on how to acclimate to college life and if we had figured out how to use time management. Dr. Hedderick said at this point we are seasoned college students and should start to realize where we need to do additional
Our group has worked together pretty well during the entirety of the semester. We are fortunate to have the ability to work well together and compromise, without arguing. The red group is always open for new ideas and ways that we can improve. Emily has definitely been our leader through the whole project, however we all took on different leadership styles. Emily has been a democratic leader from day one, she takes charge but she let’s us do our own thing. She’s done a great job at keeping us on
change when they are placed within a group environment. This essay will demonstrate that there is a tendency for people to conform to the “code of conduct” that is acceptable within the group but may not necessarily reflect how they would conduct themselves as an individual. A group is “any number of people who interact with one another, are psychologically aware of one another, and perceive themselves to be in a group” Schein (1988) (p. 145). In my opinion groups establish behaviours that each member
worked on a group assignment before and was distrustful about my grade on the assignment is not only dependent on my contribution, but also the contribution of others. At first, I thought that any lack of effort and poor quality of work that may potentially be done by my peers could negatively impact my mark. This was due to myself being quite introverted, preferring to work on my own, as I do not have to rely on and collaborate with others. However, following the completion of the group assessment
Group Research Project Reflection Essay Having more than one mind working on a project will improve the quality of the project because although some members of the group may miss an error or not think of an idea, another group member might catch the idea or error and fix the issue. Working in a group for the research project was a great learning experience and it definitely helped the project get done faster, have less errors, and it taught me about collaboration with others. One thing working

All members have faced legal consequences a result of their substance use and have been legally mandated to attend this group. Agency and/or setting information is unavailable.

Because my grade wasn't to to good I was fully committed to the team's goal. We decided to split the groups work up into parts. So each individual had our own assignments.
