What will be an ideal response?


Complete answers will include the following: First, the members of a group must perceive that they are part of a team and that they all have a common goal. Second, group members must realize that the problem they are to solve is a group problem and that the success or failure of the group will be shared by all of the members of the group. Third, to accomplish the group's goal, all students must talk with one another—to engage in discussion of all problems. Finally, it must be clear that each member's individual work has a direct effect on the group's success. Teamwork is of utmost importance. (Artzt & Newman, 1990a, pp. 2–3)
