Groups
and web links
Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people
to attain uncommon results.
Group Dynamics Resource Page. For centuries, sages and scholars have been
fascinated by groups--by they way they form, change over time, dissipate
unexpectedly, achieve great goals, and sometimes commit great wrongs. This
page provides links to some of the products of those studies.

We define "group" very broadly. Included
are formal organizations, political groups, families, intimates, social
categories and societies. Two issues are especially pertinent to our
interests, however: (1) the discovery and analysis of general principles
underlying group processes across diverse empirical settings, and (2) the
interplay between individual and group levels of analysis.

Gettin' good players is easy.
Gettin' 'em to play together is
the hard part.

understanding of human behavior in a societal context. Research currently
under way within RCGD includes studies concerned with group decision making
and social judgment; conformity and independence; violence and aggression,
scholastic achievement, delinquency, and alternative schools; social
relationships and social support within African American communities, the
study of aging in a variety of social contexts, studies focusing on the
effects of educational television, computers, and other novel technology in
classrooms; stereotyping and social judgment, culture and cognition, cognitive
anthropology; human mating strategies and conflict between the sexes, and
studies on the mental representation of social categories with a focus on the
development of notions of race in young children.

It is amazing how much you can accomplish
when it doesn't matter who gets the
credit.
The Cooperative Learning Center is a Research and Training
Center focusing on how students should interact with each other as they learn
and the skills needed to interact effectively.
The truly committed cooperative learning group is probably the most
productive tool humans have.
