Introduction to Biochemistry Group Formation Prof. Hal White

Today’s Quotation The emphasis on individualism obscures the fact that most personal needs are met, most problems are solved, most public goals are attained by organized collective action. Marion Brady

Introductions (10 Minutes) Fill out the Group Information Sheet. Pass it to the next person in your group. Repeat until every member has filled in his or her information. As time permits, discuss your answers.

Introduction to Biochemistry Important Roles in Groups Recorder - Keeps track of group’s learning issues and who has responsibility for pursuing each learning issue. Task Master - Keeps discussions on track. Diverts digressions that are not related to the course. Skeptic - Challenges the accuracy and reliability of information. Makes sure everyone understands important concepts before going on. Technical Advisor - Focuses on methodology. Expert on how things are done and the principles behind how things work. Chemist - Finds out the chemical structures and properties of compounds mentioned in the articles. Web-Scanners and Library Researchers - Roles that everyone should assume. Tracking down answers to group learning issues on the Internet and in the library.

Problem-Solving Ability in Groups Impossible Trivial A B C D Group Members Problem Difficulty Can’t Solve Might Solve Solution obvious Group Potential Problem solving is what you do when you don’t know what to do, otherwise it is not a problem. Wheatley (1984) PBL

Forming Groups Homogeneous vs. Heterogeneous This Class “Homogeneous” Groups “Heterogeneous” Groups Student Selected Instructor Selected

What Aspects of Heterogeneity are Important? Age? Gender? Skills? Academic Record? Personality Type? Learning Style? Ethnicity? Major?

Dawn’s Eight O’Clock In your groups, discuss the following: How would you describe the situation? What are the issues involved? If this were your group, how might you reasonably deal with the situation? What are the implications of these actions? How could the situation have been prevented or muted?

Introduction to Biochemistry Suggested Ground Rules for Behavior in Groups Come on time and be prepared for every class. Notify other group members, your tutor, and the instructor in advance (when possible) if you must miss a class. Freely share information you gather outside of class with other group members. Use class time wisely. Solicit and value contributions from every group member. Group members who disrupt the group's function by violating` the group's ground rules can be confronted by the other members of the group and suffer the following consequences: ….
