Group work perspective I believe that the group work was effective. I do not think that an individual alone can accomplish this work because groups can be more creative and productive than individuals working on their own. This group project helped me farther develop a host of skills that will be important for me in the professional world. We were able to break the tasks into steps and parts, give feedback to each other and we got to finish the work more efficiently. In addition, I was able to use group work to my advantage to achieve more than what I can get done on my own. By gathering and then presenting the research as a group, I believe we got a lot of information to talk about in order to educate the audience. Everyone had a role in …show more content…

This skill was used during the group work when we created a goal, which is to do our section of the work. Then we got information about types of people that we will be educating at the panel presentation. We also did process evaluation, which involves examining how our presentation was carried out. After, we define the outcomes of the presentation. The outcome of the presentation was that we accomplished our goals by educating everyone that attended the presentation and we got some of our audience members to register to vote so that we can stop or reduce the cost of college. A second skill is interactional skills. We used this skill by persuading our audience that we must stop this crisis concerning student tuition and that we should make community colleges free for those who need it to life a fuller life and to accomplish their goals. The last skill that we used was political skills. We used this skill when we build coalitions. The best way that we can change something in our political system is to educate others to join our fight. I believe we were able to do this. Even though some of our audience member may not agree with what we said, I believe that the few that do will help us do something about ending the student debt and support presidential candidates who will have the power to change the law to benefit our

    I think our group worked well together. We got along nicely and did the work we were supposed to do. During collaboration, what worked was going downstairs or into the collaboration room. It really helped us focus on what we needed to get done. Sometimes, however, we wouldn't do our work and just goof off, but we ended up getting all of our work done on time. Some strategies that helped our

    Nursing is a demanding career that requires proficiency in many types of skills to ensure patient safety and wellbeing as well as timely efficient care. One important attribute that a nurse must have is to be effective at teamwork and collaboration. This semester I had the opportunity to practice working in a group, and it was a rewarding experience. The benefits of teamwork, such as, creating a group of support and splitting a large task into smaller manageable sections, cannot be understated. I hope that in my future career as a nurse I have the pleasure of working with individuals who are as task driven and understanding as the people I had the pleasure of completing this project with.

    In order to evaluate my role within the group, it is important to identify what makes a group. A group must firstly consist of more than three members, “Two members have personal relationships; with three or more there is a change in quality” of the personal relationship. (Bion 1961, p26) The group must have a common purpose or a goal in order to succeed.

  • Group And Group Development

    880 Words  | 2 Pages

    All the parties involved; The Woodson foundation, the school district and the NCPIE all ultimately have the same goal, which is to have a successful school system in the D.C. area. To start off, I would first define a group to have a better understanding of what these three parties want to build to know where they stand in the development stage. The text defines a group as “two or more individuals, interacting and interdependent, who have come together to achieve particular objectives.” (Robbins 272), and to be more specific this group would be a formal group as they are brought together for a task/ project. There are five stages of group development which are; forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. With this group and from my understanding of where they are from reading the case, I would conclude that they are in the storming stage. The reason I came to the conclusion is because from the textbook’s definition of forming which is when “great deal of uncertainty about the group’s purpose, structure, and leadership” (Robbins 275) and from the case study it shows that all the parties do understand that they are part of the group and know what their purpose is, so they have completed that stage. Norming is the third stage and it is described as a stage where there is cohesiveness and a strong relationship between the group members. From what I have read in the case with the worries from the School district that the Woodson foundation will have all the power and the NCPIE believing that the school district is going to eat up all the money, there isn’t yet cohesiveness in the group. This is why I say they are in the storming stage, because even though they unde...

    As said by Bill Richardson, “We cannot accomplish all that we need to do without working together”, but that is easier said, than done. The often rumored and associated nightmares one experiences with group work certainly may result in poor attitudes and approaches of the members. This may be the cause of the challenges faced in the groups. In the first group, all of the members were anxious to solve the case, because of this there were more opinions to consider. This made the whole process challenging.

  • Reflection Paper: Fundamentals Of Teamwork

    I learned a lot of things that I was not aware of about teams and teamwork. I learned how to be an effective and efficient team member but also how to be a leader in times when needed. We learned about team roles which I really think helped me realize what kind of people you need for a team to be successful and things that I need to work on to be a good team member. I also learned to trust my team members. I have had some bad group work experiences but this course showed me how to handle tricky situations and I also had an awesome group which really made me think that group work is not always as bad as it may seem. Also as I mentioned before I also learned to be an effective leader. In chapter 10 we discussed the key leadership traits, these were really important to me because I plan to go on to the Nursing Administration Master’s program here at Jefferson so leadership skills will be important for me to develop. Not only did I learn about teamwork but I learned how to be a better person individually so that I can work in a team effectively. I learned to find my personal strengths and weaknesses and try to improve things that need to be improved by taking feedback from others and learning from mistakes.

    In a team-oriented setting, everyone contributes to how well the group succeeds overall. You work with fellow members of the group to complete the work that needs to be done. Having the right people in the correct roles is an important factor in measuring the success of a team, where you are united with the other members to complete the main goals. Every group is made up of definite strengths and weaknesses. Our team's 3-5 major strengths necessary to work accordingly consist of Informer, Summarizer, Orienter, Piggy-Backer, and Encourager. One of our strengths as a team is that we get input from everyone involved. Every member of our team is a leader in some way. Part of being a good leader is knowing how important it is to receive the best ideas from each member of their team. We attend group meetings where we discuss any challenges, issues, and problems. At these meetings, we often exchange ideas or brainstorm new ones with each other and come up with the best and most creative team solutions as potential answers to those perceived problems.

    In reflection on my learning experience in the group class, I have gained clarity on what sorts of competencies of facilitating group therapy, as well as in what areas social workers and students tend to feel most strong in my practice. Regarding my specific gains in competencies, I feel that I learned the most and was most likely to gain specific group facilitating competencies at the weekly class. Learning in group class is taught me the tools to use to work with groups therapy, communities and also with individuals through the process of changes. In this past three months I think a lot of opportunities have been created to shadowing with (beside and behind) and being a part of group members to learn. In addition, this class has taught me about the skills and how effectively help

  • My Experience Working in a Group as a Group

    Working together with other people for an assignment can be a challenging task in some cases but luckily, I worked well with my group members. The decisions we made were anonymous although we paced ourselves individually when it came to completing our separate parts of the essay. As a group I believe that we connected well on an interpersonal level as all four of us were able to make alterations to any problem together . Furthermore, we did not give each other a chance to get angry at one another as we knew that this would only cause conflict that would disrupt our flow as a group. There was an equal divide in the amount of work that we all did; our contributions were fair and no one was lacking behind. In addition, my group members were great at keeping each other informed if one of us were not able to attend a group meeting; emails were sent out informing us what we missed and ideas that were formulated. Everyone in my group worked according to deadlines and in synchronization with each other; we did not have to nag anyone to complete work or wait on a member to complete their task.
