Case: Lazy Group Members
There is an issue I have observed in a high school classroom in which students were split up into groups of 6 to do a collaboration project outside of class. In one group, only two members were participating while the other 4 did nothing. Time is ticking and the project due date is quickly approaching. The two participating members of the group have expressed to the teacher their frustrations with the lazy group members. They have tried reaching out to the lazy group members, but they are still not participating. What should the teacher do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In this situation I would provide specific roles for each student within the group. This would eliminate the students in the group determining the roles of each group member. In a normal situation students would be able to assign or determine their own roles but when there are students who are not participating the teacher needs to take action. In addition to the specific roles of each group member the teacher can grade the students on an overall group performance and an individual group performance. This is also eliminate the non-participants receiving a grade for work they did not do. Lastly, if the students are being held down or feeling distracted by the non-performers they should be allowed to remove them from the group. The teacher should be prepared for this and determine the best possible solution for placement in other groups. |
