Group Work
Study groups, learning communities, and group projects can build classroom relationships.
In her overall positive analysis of group work, Mary Beckman (1990) cautions that, "although collaborative learning has many advantages for today's students, it is not a panacea. Moreover, we need to examine our collaborative classrooms, teaching methods, and evaluation for unspoken rules and hidden control." But well constructed groups can facilitate positive relationships within the classroom.
