Group Work: Pros and Cons
Teams—groups of people working together—are staples in many work environments. However, as this week’s Resources acknowledge, there are pros and cons to group work. Adult learning experts generally believe that group work is extremely important. Yet, in practice, there is often resistance to group work—and it can come from both adult educators and learners.
Reflect on your own experiences with group work as an adult learner and/or in a specific job. Bring to mind positive experiences and consider what elements and/or dynamics among group members were present. Consider negative experiences. What was missing or flawed? Why do such experiences lead to resistance to group work?
Also consider your philosophy of group work and whether the resources and your learning his week have influenced that view.
By Wednesday:
Post your responses to the questions below, based on your personal experiences as an adult learner as well as the insights you have gained from this week's Learning Resources:
- As a practicing or aspiring adult educator, what is your personal philosophy regarding group work?
- Have your views changed since taking this course? Why or why not?
- Why do you believe some adult learners resist group work?
- What do you suggest to overcome this resistance?
