Recommended: The importance of group work

To depend on others when my grade depends on it NO WAY. Group projects are a workload even though they can provide some real world experience. Students like me hate group projects. Students hate group projects because group members get off task, all the group members get the same grade and you have to rely on other students. First of all, I hate group projects because students in the group get off task. I hate group projects because whenever someone in the group see their friend they started to get distracted. As an example when I was doing a project in spanish this girl would always zone off and talk to her friend and she never got work done. It was until she realized that she need to do work. Another thing that happens when students in the …show more content…

I hate this because whenever the group project has a participation grade and the one person who doesn’t do anything brings the grade down. For example when I had a history project some of the grade was about participation.The group got points taken away because some students weren’t participating. Some teachers may give you a seperate grade but that is very few. Most teachers just sometimes give you grades about how much your group participates. For example in 6th grade my history teacher made us do a presentation. The teacher paired me up with shy kids and the didn’t speak during the presentation and our group got a bad grade just because she didn’t speak. Another things that I hate that all the group members get the same grade is that they always say why did our group get this grade. As an example this girl was using our group to not do her work and she was wondering why our group got a bad grade. Little did she know is that it was her fault because she didn’t participate in anything.This is just one thing I hate about group projects but group projects also show how students have to rely on other students and how it is

    Normally in a group, the work will be divided into the number of members in the group and may be arranged to each of the members to receive the part where they are more confident and have more knowledge of it. In addition, if a member is confused with their work, he can receive assistance from his teammates rather than just being alone and figure it himself independently. However, I believe sometimes been in a group can have its cons. A common pitfall associated with working as a group is disagreement about the way something is being done, a particular issue, or an opinion. Sometimes one member might have his own beliefs and want to perform a task in their way and conflict can arise from this. Once conflict arises, the members can discuss their own opinions and might arrive to a solution, but this can cause a member to not show their full potential because something was not done the way they wanted. I believe this is very common but if you are open minded, it can be overcome for the sake of the team to be

  • The Definition Of Group Minds By Doris Lessing

    If you are studying together it is very helpful, and you will get a lot done. Also, with a group mind, if you are doing a project for work/school there is always somebody there to look over your work, just in case you mess up. Then, if you are doing a project with some a lot of calculations, having a group is very helpful. In case you mess up or just do not see a mistake you made on a calculation and correct it, so you do not have to get some points taken off for getting it wrong. There are pros and cons to this subject matter, but I think the cons outweigh the pros.

  • Assessment of Members of a Group Project

    1.     Christine’s leadership abilities could benefit by having knowledge of the stages of group development. Specific to her situation, it seems that aside from the very first group meeting, Mike was not present for the forming stage of the group. As a result, questions such as “What can the group offer me?”, “Can my needs be met and still contribute to the group”, and other discovery inquiries did not get answered for Mike so he has not felt part of the team so he has withdrawn from the group. As a leader, Christine could have encouraged to Mike the importance of being present for group meetings so he can be part of the team. For example, at the lunch room incident when Mike walked away, she could have talked with him individually and explained to him that she perceives that he does not feel welcome and has been avoiding team meetings. Christine could address the how important it is to attend the team meetings, explain to him the “WWIFM” (what’s in it for me) aspects and the fact that team needs him as he has so much that could contribute and add value to the team. She could also indicate that the team’s success will only be possible when every member contributes. By doing so, she can help ensure that Mike is able to join the group during the forming stage and hopefully move quickly to the norming and then performing stages.

    For collaboration, I choose my group project on Macbeth because we worked together as a small group and assign each other roles. But we were all accountable for our own work. I learned when working in a group we were had to set a goal date and we needed to identify any problems in my group. I also learned as students that we need to be invested in our own learning when working as a team. I learned that when working as a group you need to practice and be on the same page as a whole. But collaboration I will need to later on in college and maybe possible at a job. I will need collaboration in college for many group project.

  • Why Group Projects Are Good

    put us in a group project. The project we had to do was to build a bridge out of popsicle sticks, and see how many textbooks it could hold without breaking. In this case working in a group project is better because others see the flaws you create and fix it when you would not notice it. An example of a flaw is when I thought only two parallel sides would hold up those heavy textbooks. When we observed it, we realized it would fall quickly because the weight would not have been distributed nicely. I am for group projects because it lets kids share knowledge together, so you could get the greatest grade you could possibly get.

  • Group Project Reflection

    In a team-oriented setting, everyone contributes to how well the group succeeds overall. You work with fellow members of the group to complete the work that needs to be done. Having the right people in the correct roles is an important factor in measuring the success of a team, where you are united with the other members to complete the main goals. Every group is made up of definite strengths and weaknesses. Our team's 3-5 major strengths necessary to work accordingly consist of Informer, Summarizer, Orienter, Piggy-Backer, and Encourager. One of our strengths as a team is that we get input from everyone involved. Every member of our team is a leader in some way. Part of being a good leader is knowing how important it is to receive the best ideas from each member of their team. We attend group meetings where we discuss any challenges, issues, and problems. At these meetings, we often exchange ideas or brainstorm new ones with each other and come up with the best and most creative team solutions as potential answers to those perceived problems.

If we were able to know going into the class period that we would have time to work together, I feel we would have been a lot more efficient in getting things done. Overall, I enjoyed this project and really appreciated my group members and everyone’s willingness to work

  • Rick Worme Reporting Student Learning

    909 Words  | 2 Pages

    The authors state that when students do group work the problem is that we’re not sure where one student’s influence ends and another’s begin. It is rare when collaborative projects provide opportunity to determine individual learning regarding specific learner outcome. We must assess students outside the group project to see what each one takes away from the experience. The authors state that unless we’re teaching a class on group projects, group work is only the means to an end, not the actual curriculum. For grades to be accurate and useful, they must speak only to the posted curriculum (Wormeli, 2011). Given the importance of collaboration skills in 21st century classrooms, a reasonable approach to assessing group projects is to give each member of the group a job. A teacher needs to carefully monitor the students and create a detailed checklist to make sure that everyone in the group is doing their job. This way you know where the one student’s influence ends and another’s begin. The teacher also needs to pull students outside the group question them on concepts to check their understanding along the way.

    ...eadth or depth of coverage. Some other criticisms of cooperative learning are the presence of hitch hikers, students who may be too shy, passive, or unmotivated to get involved with the group, or dominant personalities that inhibit group work as when their high standards or intense involvement excludes their teammates. Some students may not participate if they believe it will negatively impact the group grade. In order to remedy this some methods to encourage participation would be to assign roles. This gives the student a responsibility and also it would be the responsibility of other group members to involve him. Changing group dynamics be changed by increasing interdependence, social skills procedure, processing and individual accountability may also improve the situation. If all else fails it may be best to break up the group and let some people work alone.

  • My Goal As A Teacher Essay

    1097 Words  | 3 Pages

    My goal as a teacher is to improve my student’s education and help them grow knowledgably. I like to see students at different levels develop with each other and learn. I want to challenge the students and watch them grow to their highest level of education. Therefore, having the students in groups is the best educational strategy I like to use a lot. I want my students to have freedom with whatever creativity they want, and to allow them to express themselves at any time. With this freedom students will be able to experiment with likes and dislikes and be able to figure their weaknesses and strengths. Education is for everyone and it’s a right by low for all; teachers, on the other hand, should do their jobs very honestly and effectively.
