Education for all in new settings Values in group work Sondre, Amalie, Monika and Karin Background – why did we choose it We have chosen this topic because - main topic is being inclusion and we believe that group works are a good work method. We haven't chosen a specific subject because we believe our activities can be adjusted to several subjects as language and social studies. We chose the age 13 year olds because we think that it is a appropriate age group when it comes to the required vocabulary and reaching the goals for the lesson which is …. NEXT SLIDE MONIKA

Our goals with the lesson After the lesson we want the pupils to have a better understanding in how to … … respect and accept each other … value the importance of listen to everyone’s opinion … work together as a group READ THE GOALS We sat these goals as a common thing that we wanted to achieve during the lesson.

Curriculums The goal of education is to prepare children and adults to meet the responsibilities of life and master challenges with others. Awareness of their own, and participation in the common cultural heritage provides a secure identity that is important to develop along with the ability to understand and empathize with others and their values AMALIE

He said that through cooperative learning a child would increase self-esteem, social skills, and study skills. These three skills are one of the main goals in the school that a child possesses after finishing school. The most important factor that Kagan emphasized for our lesson is that through group work children learn to work with and understand others who are different from themselves.

4 corner Everyone has to show their own opinion No corner is the wrong corner – acceptance towards others opinion It’s being visualized everyone have different opinions We did choose the four corner exercise because we wanted the pupils to take a stand and reflect over their own opinion. They need to reflect over their own role in a group and how they react in different situations, they need to build up awareness of themselves in a group in order to start reflect how other persons are thinking and what they can contribute with. We make them starting reflect in what is important in a group work Since it isn’t any corner who has a wrong answer and no one is allowed to argue towards another opinion the pupils learn to respect others. We think the pupils would have a spread to were they will stand and that contributes to visualizing that everyone have different opinions. Also, when the leader is asking why someone is standing in one corner the others have to respect and listen to the persons arguments. The four corner activity is a great activity to do before the trading game, because they are supposed to work together as a group, and hopefully they have opened their mind to respect everyone’s opinion within this exercise.
