Do your students complain about working in groups? Are you dissatisfied with the way you structure group work? Group work can motivate students, foster creativity, build trust, encourage active learning, promote a wider sense of ownership, and develop key critical-thinking, communication, decision-making, and conflict-resolution skills. But without careful planning and facilitation, group work can frustrate students and instructors and feel like a waste of time. In this workshop, we will briefly review the power of group work, explore different types of small groups, discuss several methods for designing group activities, and examine ways to evaluate group work.
