    Group dynamics

    The dynamics within a classroom or groups of students can have an effect on students’ learning. In this module teachers will learn more about group dynamics and its effects, and what they can do to positively influence this.

    Good to know

    Target group (Second year) workgroup teachers
    Group size Max. 16 teachers
    Language English
    Time investment 3.5 hours in class + 1 hour preparation time + 2 hours portfolio (for teachers in Workgroup Teacher Programme)
    Trainer See table below
    Location Roeterseiland Campus (REC)
    Intended learning outcomes

    At the end of this module participants can…

    • recognize the phases of group development theory by Tuckman and translate the relevance of the theory to their own teaching
    • analyse what they can do as a teacher to assist group dynamics according to the phases of Tuckman’s group development
    • critically discuss a group instruction or assignment on the risk of social loafing
    • formulate an intervention for dynamic issues in the classroom.
    Preparation

    Think about a situation that was difficult for you to manage as a teacher in the context of group dynamics. With groups we mean your classroom as a whole or student subgroups for (in class) assignments etc.
