ACTIVITIES - ADI ISMA – adhy2792@gmail.com 5 student share resources or materials, another student clarify an idea, still another to provide examples and others to provide controversy during group discussions. With group work, it is also advisable for the teacher to first mention which books or materials the students need before he/she fixes the group size, so as to prevent a series of return journeys to fetch the necessary items once the activity starts (Underwood, 1987:80). Thus, the teacher will realize that even though group size may look like a simple decision, nevertheless, it has significant implications, as according to Weber (1994:95), the teacher will find that variance in group size will mean variance in student experience and learning. In assigning students to groups, a teacher should begin by considering the outcomes that he/she wants the group to achieve, and then proceed to select the suitable students. For example, if the teacher wants the groups to develop sketches, then he/she would probably need one or two creative individuals in each group. Thus, it is important for the teacher to consider diversity in group composition. Here, there are some advantages of selecting the students based on; ability grouping, random choice, teacher choice, and student choice. a. Ability Grouping • It will allow the teacher to be more efficient in their planning. • High ability students learn more than low ability ones • Low ability students do not get frustrated by the progress of high ability students. • It is easier to teach hence less discipline problems occur in homogeneous classes. b. Random Choice • It can help prevent the students from pegging other students as slow or advanced. • It may allow for improved classroom management as you will not always have the same troublesome students in the same group. • It provides you opportunities to separate students who need to not work in the same group. |
