How do I ensure accountability when students are working in groups?

** Concerns ** || ** Solutions ** || What if someone in the group is not putting forth the same amount of effort as everyone else in the group? || Use a peer assessment form || Establishing roles and responsibilities of group members- How do you select what roles each group member will have? || Allow team member to vote on who will be designated as team leaders || Group processing- How will each group member achieve his or her goal? || Group members need to discuss or describe what member actions are helpful and unhelpful to make decisions about what behaviors to continue or change || What if a group member is having difficulty understanding the material or communicating with other members of the group? || Always help each other. Every member will struggle at one time or another. The result of helping each other, building a sharing and caring environment will be a win-win situation for everyone || How are groups formed? || Group formation should be heterogeneous-deliberately mixing students based on achievement level, gender, ethnicity, academic interest, learning style and other relevant factors || What if a conflict of interest occurs when the actions of one person striving to achieve his/her goals interfere with the actions of another person? || Negotiate agreements to resolve their conflict of interest; Mediate the conflict among the group members || How group grades are recorded? || The group grades are recorded by using a rubric that describes different points that the group should have covered. ||
