List and briefly describe each Tuckerman’s stages of group development.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Forming occurs at the start when members are getting to know one another and the tasks of the group. Storming occurs when conflict emerges and members express individuality. In the norming stage, the group members experience a sense of unity, mutuality and cooperation. The performing stage occurs when the group members have a clear sense of the group’s purpose and productivity is strong. The adjourning stage occurs when closure is reached, and learning is summarized and considered how it might transfer to other settings.
