Pros and Cons of group work

The pros of group work is that everyone can share there ideas and thoughts to collaborate and achieve a final goal more effectively. The cons of group work is people could take advantage of the group and make others do more than their suppose to.

Core Competencies

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to ask everyone for there ideas and collectively come up with a plan that everyone is okay with.

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to ask everyone for there ideas because it could be a disagreement on what the group is working on or how much each person is working, I find the best way to avoid disagreements is to split the work fair among the group members.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see the group working hard and sharing their ideas with each other to help benefit the over all assignment.

If I notice the group is stuck or confused that’s a sign that my group needs help and we can get support by asking other classmates or help from the teacher.

What I’ve learned

I’ve learned that group work is a very effective way to learn as many people get together to share there ideas and all contribute to the same goal. The key is to communicate with each other.

I’ve also learned that it’s better to share your ideas with your group even if you think it’s not a good one or the group won’t like it cause It could change someone else’s idea or inspire someone to come up with a different idea.
