INTRODUCTION
Any individual always interacts with another person, whether it is at work, school or
anywhere in the society. Due to this reason, social sciences accentuate on the significance
of group activity. Group work/ Teamwork is a communal strategy of collective learning
(Tanjila Ferdous, 2019). In simple terms, it is working with one or more individuals to
complete a given project or task. When working in a group, the members depend on each
other and are required to communicate well among each other as one’s decision will
affect everyone in the group.
Group Dynamics, also known as group process, are the characteristics that affects how
the group will function. According to Kurt Lewin (1939), group dynamics was described
as: “A way, in which individuals within a group act and react to changing circumstances” .
The diagram
portrays the main
elements of
group dynamics
based on many
theories.
This report will focus on how we evaluated our group dynamics for this assignment using
the two models: Tuckman’s Model on Team Development and Gersick’s and Punctuated
equilibrium model.
