Group Dynamics

Explain the stages of group development, the important roles that members play in a workgroup, what makes a workgroup successful, and the differences between groups and teams. List the prerequisites for a group activity, explain how to solve problems and make decisions in groups, and identify a few possible issues with group work and how to avoid them. Apply group dynamics principles in educational settings. The game ＂Fish Bowl＂ is used to discuss group dynamics; participants assume the roles of an activity group (fish) and an observer group (bowl), and the principles of group activity and participant roles are elicited based on the group activity. Because it enables students to develop into successful communicators, leaders, professionals, lifelong learners, and clinicians, group work is crucial to the medical education process. It is essential that medical students learn these things in a better method these days since if they study them independently, they will remember the subject for the rest of their lives. While they can help, teachers should not take on the majority of the work in group assignments.
