Summary
Group and group workWhat leads to the establishment of group work is the fact that it constitutes a way of using human energy to make quality decisions and take initiatives for problem-solving. The power of a group is defined by its team spirit and depends on the actions of its members. A group can respond to quick changes and demands and adjust to new information and challenges. It can understand procedures better and reduce lost time, improve communication and effectiveness, helping its members to develop their cognitive skills and other characteristics of their personalities (Diaz & Pintozzi, 1999; Mpourantas & Papalexandri, 1998). Successful group work is the result of the cooperation and social interdependence of its members, who are willing to contribute to the creation of a positive and effective environment, without individualized competitiveness (Tarricone & Luca, 2002). 1988; Slavin, 1987). Freeman (1996) asserted that students’ tendency to group work predicts their effective performance
