PSYB21H3 Lecture : Lecture 09 - PSYB21
Document Summary
Two common saying, but the bird one is t rue: we try to find people similar to us. Cooperative learning activities: this can be found in a box in the chapter. In cooperative learning, there is: interdependence and a shared goal, individual and group accountability. Indiviual accountability is huge, and everyone needs to feel that they are there to have this work out. where there is a bunch of people there, some don"t feel that they have to put forth as much effort. Leads to diffusion of responsibility, which means that when we see a lot of people, we make the assumption that the more people there is, the less output we need: building interpersonal and small group skills. teachers need to teach students these aspects, and must take the assumption that kids do not know how to do these things: group processes.
