Student Videos on Group Dynamics (pt 1)
Below you will find student videos exploring each of the components of your Group Dynamics: group agreement, roles and responsibilities, meeting schedule, decision-making process, and conflict resolution.
Group Agreement
Below are videos where students talk about their Group Agreement and Culture of Accountability. Here are the questions they have addressed:
What core values did your group operate by?
Did you create a Group Agreement or Contract? If so, did it help your group dynamics?
Did your group develop a culture of accountability?
Example of a Group Contract developed by Pamela Saylor at Purdue NW to help students develop good and healthy communication:
Meeting Schedule
Your group will be given time in class to meet. However, you may need to meet outside of class, and perhaps by Zoom.
Below are videos where students discuss the follow questions about their meeting schedule.
Did your group meet outside of class? How often? Where? By Zoom?
Did you meet with the students you recruited? Were these meetings productive?
Group Process Worksheet (parts 1 & 2)
Below are two worksheets to help you and your student group develop healthy and positive group dynamics. The first worksheet is generally filled out soon after the group chooses their demands and target, and the second worksheet is completed after 4-6 weeks of working together as a team. The two worksheets are available both as a Microsoft Word Doc, which allows you to type in your responses, and a PDF doc, where you can insert your responses by hand. Please use if helpful.
