Against Group Work

As student work together as a group, they learn the skill of time management as they juggle school, the project, and all other activities in their schedule. Also, having students work in groups for projects will help this skill thrive because it will also encourage them to work on it periodically so they won’t be overwhelmed a couple days before it is due. Moreover, working in groups help students take leadership and manage the group. In almost every school group project, there is always that one person that takes charge and becomes the “Group Leader”. This will also teach students how to manage a group and how to divide work evenly among

When I become a teacher I plan to have my students work in cooperative groups because this allows them a chance to share their knowledge and ideas with their peers. Due to the fact that most students are on different developmental levels, those students who are of higher developmental levels can provide the other students with their ideas and perception of their knowledge. I feel that teachers should not be scared to let their students participate in group work because I think it is a great method of learning.

As a college student, I don’t enjoy group work. I am the student that dominates the group and does almost all of the work, establishing group times to talk about what needs to be done, and making sure that attendance is mandatory

Initially, I had a negative view on group working because of the challenges that I had. When I was in high school, my five other friends and I used to work together in a music competition. Although we were supposed to get together to practice

For this class project, I think my group worked well together on the assignments. We all saw we had responsibilities and were expected to do our own parts for each assignment we worked on. For each assignment, we would split it equally among us and used a tool called Google Docs so we were each on our own computers but working together on one file. Google Docs really made the process easier with reviewing all the information and having it all in one file. If any questions came up we had a group text to communicate when we weren’t on campus grounds for class.

I believe many students do not like group assignments because for the most part a person or two do not pull their wait leaving the leader doing most of the work. Other problems includes having to deal with various personalities, the work distribution, trying to communicate with each other, feeling vulnerable, and the way everyone gets the same grade because it is a group effort. So the lazy people get the same grade as the people who worked hard.

If you have a very negative environment or intense environment in our classroom kids don't learn as well as they do in a positive environment. Group projects allow students to work together with their peers and talk amongst themselves as one but do it while getting the knowledge and materials they need to learn. This causes the students to be less nervous when working with other and that makes the classroom they are in a more positive setting for them. I can speak from experience and I would rather work on a project with more than one person rather

Working in a group was a great way to get to know my classmates. Despite our differences, we worked together and completed the assignment. I like working in a group, but sometimes I would rather do the assignment on my own. Group work has its good and bad effects.

    Finally, group projects do not work because someone might not do their work or part, people will get mad of simple things, and the take so much more time than they should

All throughout middle school and high school teachers will always assign a group project where an uncooperative student causes a whole group to come “crashing down,” leaving the other students with a huge hole in their grade. I am against group work because they have more negative characteristics, such as, that it takes more time, dealing with difficult people, and struggling with trust of others. Many group projects leave students feeling frustrated and angry which diminishes the educational value of the process altogether.

usually if we work within our group will be easier to work in my opinion because there we will be able to exchange ideas and help each other as if we could not understand the question we could ask the people who know about these so that we will understand about who did not understand the and in the group we will be able to related because it is not alone in the group we can also exchange opinions while if we work alone would be difficult to find questions that do not understand and we will also

First off, working in a group finishing group projects can be very conducive for students since they can help students to study more effectively and get exposure in real-world issues. If teachers categorize students and organize them in small study groups, chances are that they would solve complex issues together, like research the history of the city, examine the water quality of the local town, so on and so forth. Students can develop critical

First of all, group assignments are a very good way for students to benefit from the mount of extra help that it provides. On a personal level I fell that group projects are a very effective for students that need the help. For example, some students really need the help, but are too shy to speak up. By being put in a group in class for an activity or project the will most definitely receive the help that much need. I think that group activities are most definitely the best alternative for children who need help. Not only do group projects benefit the students it also take the stress off of the teachers in an abundance of ways. The most important way is that it really helping the children. After all, extra help can really make

Two words that evoke fear amongst many college students in America are “group project.” So many people carry the attitude, “If you want something done right, do it yourself!” The feeling is not unwarranted. As the price of tuition grows yearly, no student wants to leave his or her grades in the hands of other students. Group assignments are often difficult for professors to evaluate individual performances, so students tend to feel they are not in total control of their final grade. There are many challenges in group projects, including organization, effective communication, and quality of work. However, even with all the perceived negative aspects of group projects, there is a silver lining. They promote increased learning and development of soft skills. Upon graduating and moving into the workforce, having a foundation of strong interpersonal skills is vital. There are many pros and cons of group projects for college students; however, the pros tend to outweigh the cons.

Group work can bring about mixed learning and allows for the conveyance in new ideas which may not have materialised if I was working as an individual. According to Landsberger (2005):
