Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think having a class discussion on what a makes a "good teammate or group member" and a "not so great group member" and have students identify what behaviors they believe are expected of them while working in a group could be helpful. Of course you can always supplement the list of desirable behaviors as well, just be sure to discuss why what you are adding is important. Additionally, I would evaluate if the tasks that you are assigning to groups match with not only the abilities of the students but the group sizes, is it a group of four but really the tasks could be easily managed by two people? Finally, I would have students self assess their participation in the group using the criteria for a "good group member" that the class compiled.
