Negatives And Negatives Of Health Educators

It was clear that our agreed upon norms placed a significant level of responsibility on the group leader. In this instance, Kristian served the role well. Due to the variance in time zones the use of Google Docs as a collaborative effort, was helpful to ensuring that each member was able to participate effectively. One member of our group, had difficulty accessing the internet on a regular basis and email the group portions of the assignment for the leader to incorporate into the draft. While this allowed the individual to contribute, it placed an additional burden on the leader to incorporate the suggestions into the final draft of the assignment. Additionally, during one assignment, the leader formatted the document early in the day and email it out prior to allowing everyone to contribute. This created confusion regarding whether the Google Doc or the emailed draft was the current working copy. Through email communication, this small obstacle was overcome and the group was successful over

I had no option than to cooperate and work together with them since it was a group task At the beginning of the group task, we decided to meet at an agreed time in a specific place. The tasks were shared to meet the required assessment as inter-professional collaboration and we agreed to work individually. Everybody attended this first meeting, each contributing his/her professional expertise. Through this, I learnt that every profession has positive contribution to make in partnership working.

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.

Working in a group to achieve a high quality group project can be one of people’s most difficult school experiences. Working in a group is tough because there is often someone who does not pull their own weight. “There are five stages to group development, adjourning, forming, storming, performing, and norming” (John & Wiley pg 166). Christine’s group from the Case Study the Forgotten Group Member is in between the Storming and Norming Stages. The Storming Stage “is dealing with tensions and defining group tasks,” while the Norming Stage is dealing with high emotionality and tension among the group members” (John & Wiley pg. 166). Christine and her group could have had better

Assessment Purpose: The purpose of the quiz is to assess each student’s knowledge about diabetes. The quiz results will allow the instructor to discern what students already know from previous learning experiences and what voids need to be filled. The constructed response portion of the quiz will provide evidence on what students have already learned. Due to the nature of the quiz, the instructor will be provided with qualitative data about each student’s knowledge. The assessment is formative and low stakes because its sole purpose is to provide immediate feedback to the instructor to further guide instructional time. The pre-assessment quiz was chosen because the course is offered to the public.

Group 2 came together as a team to teach and learn from each other. The discussion boards each member of the group participated in were insightful and contained grounded literature to back up their discussion. The group stimulated conversation with each other on the topics as well as came together to summarize the group’s discussion for the class. As a whole, the class decided to expand our discussions and take action on safe staffing. The group decided one of the goals would be to split up the list of congressional contacts to broaden the scope of support for the safe staffing bill. The group successfully accomplished this goal by splitting the list of congressional contacts to send emails with a brief asking for support. At this point, we have received mixed results for responses, some in the group came across difficulty because of living out of state. Effectiveness of teamwork has proven to be beneficial to organizations, patients, and nurses (Wheelan & Tilin, 2003). One individual within a group organized a Facebook page for the support of the class’s health care bill on safe staffing. This will allow the class to spread the information and continue to gain support from other individuals

Through out the process of creating our project as a group there wasn’t as many obstacles as I thought there would be. In other words, everything went smooth it was just what I wanted. I believe the reason for such great outcome was because we all learned how to work as a group and interact with each other because of our Chicano studies class. Knowing what we did wrong in group projects in that class certainly made me change and understand what group studies really are and mean. Therefore, there wasn’t any problems as a group we communicated well and if a person couldn’t meet up we would let them know how they could contribute and certainly they did their part.

Throughout the module I was part of group including eight other health professions including student midwives, mental health nurses, physiotherapist’s, radiologists and paediatric nurses. According to Tuckman and Jensen (1977) there are five stages of group development; forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. I was a little anxious about meeting the group and during the forming stage was apprehensive about trusting individuals within the group; maybe because of the lack of a clear

In this group project, I had a major role in ensuring that it came together in a unified way. Generally, I usually take a leadership role in group projects so I was the central person coordinating group meetings and ensuring sufficient communication. To begin the project, we divided up the work by assigning people to work on the case study, find literature, summarize the textbook, and talk to key informants. My assigned part was to summarize the textbook, which also ended up lending itself to finding some additional sources to build on what the textbook was lacking. In regard to the group literature and informant summary, I ended up writing most

During my college life on campus in my major, I normally get a lot of group assignment to complete. In my second semester, I have been engaged with some hard working group members who willing to achieve their goals. In this case, all of us were on the same pace to complete the assignment and get it done on time to the best of our ability. In my communication class called editing and film, One of the projects was to film some athletes performing and write an article about the sport. There were five members in my group and we all work together and each individual gets a sign task to do and complete it without an issue. We get one week to perform the task and the follow Monday we would have to present it to the class, we have complete the work on time because we all work hard together as a team to get the job done

As a group, the community education team worked pretty well together, but there are certainly aspects that each of us could’ve improved on. Giselle, Grace, Char, and I each did our part, but could’ve done better at communicating with one another when we were coordinating the times we would meet to work on the project. There were several instances where we were unable to find a time where all four of us could meet, which led to 1 or 2 members of the group doing more work than others. If we were to assign titles to the group, I would call either myself or Giselle the leader or head coordinator, and I don’t think it would be likely that the memo,

This chapter reviewed many different aspects of group work such as different processes and skills required to run several different groups. The groups discussed were open-ended group, groups hosted in residential settings, single-session groups, and large activity groups.

Groupwork can be defined as a method of social work that is utilised in order to help individuals to enhance their social functioning through purposeful group experiences and to help cope with their personal group or community problems (Konopka, 1972). The role of groupwork places emphasis on sharing thoughts, ideas, problems and activities, allowing social action groups for instance, to “empower members to engage in collective action and planned change efforts to modify particular aspects of their social or physical environment” (Toseland & Rivas, 2014, p. 38; Pyles, 2009; Staples, 2004). Therefore, reflecting on the processes of groupwork is an essential mechanism for all professionals in order to develop better communication skills, conflict resolution and enhance future performance. This essay will reflect upon the task group processes that were conducted this semester, while evaluating my own role within the group and what was learnt working within a small group.
