Summary
Groups and teams are different in their goals, roles and responsibilities. Students learn about the differences, the stages of group formation and how to guard against social loafing.
Groups and teams
Groups and teams differ in their goals and roles. Groups do not need a shared goal or assigned roles. Teams have a shared goal and assigned tasks. Both groups and teams have advantages and disadvantages.
Five stages of group formation
Groups go through five stages: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. Students reflect on how their own team went through these stages.
Delegating responsibility
Responsibility cannot be delegated. People in authority are responsible for their own actions and their team's actions. Students consider why this is the case.
Measures to guard against social loafing
Two measures to guard against social loafing are limiting group size and holding everyone accountable. Students consider how these measures work.
