Learning in Groups: A Handbook for Face-to-Face and Online Environments

Learning in groups, rather than in formal lectures or presentations, allows students to have greater scope to negotiate meaning and express themselves and their own ideas. It also helps them to establish far more effective releationships, not only with their tutors and trainers but with each other. Yet many tutors and trainers find the leadership role required when working in groups difficult to perform satisfactorily and revert to their traditional role as subject expert and prime talker. This handbook is a truly comprehensive guide for anyone involved in groupwork, containing advice and practical exercises to develop group learning skills for both learners and tutors. This new edition has been thoroughly updated, containing valuable new material throughout on group learning and collaborating online, action research and the role of reflection and emotional intelligence.

Learning in groups (New patterns of learning series)

Croom Helm

Learning in groups, rather than in formal lectures or training sessions, allows students to have greater scope to negotiate meaning and express themselves within the language of the subject. It also helps them to establish a far more effective relationship, not only with their teachers but with each other. It can also play a central part in developing key professional skills, such as listening, presenting ideas, persuasion, self-direction, self-monitoring and team working. Yet many teachers find the leadership role required by teaching in groups difficult to perform satisfactorily, and may well fall back on the more traditional role of subject expert and prime talker. Now fully revised for its third edition, this book not only promotes understanding of group methods, but also develops group learning skills in students and teachers by showing a range of practical exercises and a widening of the range of group experiences to be used.
