Decoding work done
Identification of bottleneck
In group activities many students are not effectively working as groups.
Description of mental tasks needed to overcome the bottleneck
Expert seem to follow a sequence of consecutive phases that commences group work:
- Individually ensure the assignment is clear to oneself; come up with an initial understanding of the problem at hand; explore possible connections to subject matter.
- An initial coming together as a group “to clarify certain things about the problem”.
- Individually reading and further understanding the problem, identifying tasks and connecting it to what one knows and to the context of the course; looking up information and asking questions as necessary.
- Individually coming up with a plan of “how to attack the problem”.
- Drawing individual plans together in the group; consolidating a single plan for the group; distributing work among group members.
