Case: Off topic / unrelated discussions Every time my teacher puts the students in groups they just talk about topics unrelated to the class and usually always get off topic. How can she address this problem without singling these students out? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There are a few things that can be done proactively in an effort to prevent groups from having unrelated discussions. Firstly, ensure that the students understand the task and have enough to do within a designated period of time. Secondly, strategically select groups that are of an appropriate size and composition, then assign each member within the group a role that makes them responsible for a particular task such as taking notes. Finally, proximity control should go a long way as long as the teacher is monitoring groups by circulating the classroom and redirecting discussions when they become off-topic by asking questions. As for reactive strategies, reinforce positive behaviors. |
