WHY USE GROUPS? Committed to it based on research and observation Simulates the “real world” - use of teams Learn better when actively involved Peer instruction, teaching each other Learn more fully and with less effort Learn in context Johnson, Johnson and Smith. ERIC ASHE Higher Education Report No. 4

Suggestions for Using Groups Set the stage early. Select heterogeneous groups. Use permanent groups of about 4-6. Rotate roles of responsibility. Construct group-selected ground rules. Use periodic peer evaluation.

Using Groups in Larger Classes Strategies that can work: Well-defined activities Bring the class together for discussion and/or clarification at about15 min. intervals Group products Look for signs of behaviors that undermine group function Use undergraduate (peer) group facilitators

nce upon a time... 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”
