Journal Entry 1 – Selecting Groups

Using Your Edublogs Page, Under CST/IST – Project 4 answer the following question.
1) List the Problems that could occur from students selecting their own groups.
The problem with students selecting their own groups is that student might want to be partners with their mates who might not necessarily be intelligent blokes who want to work. The other problem is that students are more likely to go off task when they are working in groups with people who they know and they tend to chat more then they work. The third and final problem with students selecting their own groups is that students tend to select the most intelligent students in the class who do work and are the smartest who don’t care if the odd person out doesn’t do his/her work.
