Reflection On Group Work

I believe our group work is going well. We haven’t had many meetings concerning bringing all the work together, but people have been working had individually as noted in the annotated bibliography. One complaint is that in the agreement we said that the annotated bibliography would be completed by the Sunday before the due date, when in actuality two members did not add their work to the group until the day the assignment was due. However, this is minor in the larger scheme since it was completed and submitted on time. We have made plans to come together next week to work on the project together and how and where everyone’s contribution will be placed. Overall I don’t have much to complain about as communication and work ethic are good. I

Group work has been a cornerstone of the social work profession and requires a variety of facilitator skills and awareness of group processes. The SSLDTM Group Program for People with Difficulties in Social Situations (Socialwork1914, 2017) provides an excellent example of a psycho-educational group co-facilitated by two female social workers, Jane and Karen. After viewing the 6th session of this 8-week program, I began to understand how the concepts of group formation/development, interpersonal dynamics, and leadership styles contribute to successful group work outcomes.

Each of the three areas identified by Adair needs to be addressed if your team is to work effectively and harmoniously. Just imagine these scenarios:

This essay will reflect on my experience during an activity which required team work and leadership. I will be using Gibbs Reflective Cycle (Reid, 1994) to support my structure and to help me reflect further into my experience. This activity was carried out in Todd’s Leap (an outdoor activity centre); my team and I were required to pass a golf ball through pipes across 40m to a bucket at the end with a time limit of 10 minutes. Within my team there were 12 people and each person had a 1m pipe. The team and I had to piece the pipes together so that the ball could fall through without falling to the floor; if the ball fell we then had to begin again. This activity was made competitive as we were competing against another team who were carrying out the same activity.

In this essay I am going to reflect on my experience working as part of a team and the preparation on an oral presentation I had to do in class with people from different courses, as part of the Foundations for Practice in Health and Social Care module. Reflection is educational and is used as a means of self-knowledge and to develop using a process of feeling and learning by thinking about what happened and what could have been done differently. (Rolfe, 2011, p.8-12) I will be using the Gibbs (1988) Reflective Cycle to do this. In this model there are 6 different stages to look at to help structure reflection, the description of the event, your feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and an action plan. There is more than one model

Reflect critically and individually on the experience of producing your presentation as a shared piece of work, and discuss the implications for collaborative working as an underpinning principle of health and social care policy. At its simplest concept, collaboration infers that people from different professional and academic backgrounds form a working relationship for the purpose of enhanced service provision. (Audrey, L. 2003). The SCIE (2013) suggest that because issues within health and social care can often be complicated and service users may have a multitude of needs, collaboration is extremely important in health and social care as it allows practitioners to share ideas and develop their knowledge.

To further understand Belbin Team Role Theory, I, together with four students formed a team and simulated as being authorized by the Songjiang Government Bureau to investigate into the current situation and the prospect of the higher education industry in Songjiang District. Through unremitting team efforts, we successfully demonstrated our findings and recommended several ideas via a formal presentation. Reviewing the three-months-long process of cooperation, I really found this experience of learning meaningful and fruitful. This reflective essay is a conclusion of my sympathetic introspection of the

Team work is at the nucleus of clinical practice in radiography. It is the core structure that allows the efficient flow of work whilst still providing patient-centred care. There must be an understanding that a team is not merely a group of people working in proximity to each other; but it is a group of people who use the division of labour and an apprehension of each other’s role in the team to work in a rational and proficient manner. This essay will reflect on the team building I participated in and its correlation to my Belbin personality team roles. I will also explore the value of this in practice, in terms of patient centred care and legislation. Using other personality questionnaires, I will consider Belbin’s ability to reflect my own roles and question if another method would be more accurate in doing this.

I actively participated in the assignment throughout the whole process. After plenty of research on literature reviews, I devoted to extract from the former two parts and then produced the suggestions for future research related to the audit reporting model. I joined every discussion and came up with possible solutions to the problems with the topic. I followed the schedule to present my part punctually so that other group member could continue to revise the research. During the assignment period, I sometimes insisted in my own opinion, which is not appropriate for group work. Fortunately, I was persuaded through communication and change my incorrect views.

When I was in a group for group work I was the only one who did any work. All the other people in the group got a grade that they didn't earn. This ends happening in almost every group. That proves that group work is not effective in school because there is always someone who does all the work, you could get put with people you don't like, and there is always people talking.

The eyes being the windows to the soul, the Lord must have felt pity for me and gave me the blessing of glasses. The best vantage point in a class room is the back right corner, giving view of everyone in the room. Evaluating everyone to see what information they give away about themselves, so as to better align myself if group work does come into play. Within the first couple of minutes it easy to tell that this group ranges in a lot of type A and B personas, all more or less good assets to be used to get an A. I hear her before I see her, already that laugh has my heartrate at a dangerous high level, has it really been three years already!! With my persona, it’s only natural I gravitate to the Romantic Era. Whether it’s the ever-lasting struggle I face with passion over reason, the romantic era imagination and supernatural, which are either my favorite show or novels to entertain myself with, to the Eras

“Group work is a form of voluntary association of members benefiting from cooperative learning that enhances the total output of the activity than when done individually”.

Reflecting upon individuals’ experience with team projects this semester is crucial for students to develop teamwork and collaboration skills, effective communications, conflict resolution and improve performance for future projects. This paper reflects on the role that I played in this semesters’ student team project, as well as explaining what I learned about teamwork and collaboration. I am overall impressed by my teams’ extraordinary commitment and performance; though they could still be room for improvement in our communication and organization skills.

I attended the University of Pittsburgh Student Government Board (SGB) meeting on November 10, 2015, to see first-hand how task oriented groups function. There was a presentation after the SGB meeting about the University Strategic Plan, soliciting suggestions for the implementation phase of the plan.
