1.) Why is it important to use teams in PBL?
It is important to use teams in project based learning because it allows each member to come up with different ideas and suggestions. Also, the group can work together to discuss different topics related to project based learning and focus on the important aspects of what really needs to be discussed.
2.) What are some of the problems you see in student teams?
When student teams are established, many problems will arise. For example, if one or more of the members on your team doesn't put forth the work that needs to be done on their part, the entire student team suffers because of this one person or others. Also, especially for an online course, it is really difficult to have established student teams. I am only saying this because I work full-time all week and it is quite difficult to try to get all of the student team members to meet at a specific location and time. I find that individual work is probably best for online classes where as student teams would probably be best in a classroom setting where that can meet on a daily basis face-to-face.
3.) What strategies can you use to manage conflict in student teams?
The best strategies that can be used to manage conflict in student teams would have to be a meeting with the group to discuss the different ways the conflict can be resolved. If that doesn't work, the next best thing to do would be to have a meeting with the student team and the instructor.
4.) Did the group have any questions or problems this week?
As far as I know, there were no questions or problems this week with the group.
