Each member must feel free to share their ideas and feelings with the group. Ideas and feelings should be shared accurately and clearly by all members. Leadership, responsibilities and participation should be equally shared. Conflicting solutions are to be encouraged as they help promote creativity and decision-making abilities. However,excessive competitions and pressure should be avoided.
Group cohesion is important.
Work toward a high level of acceptance and trust among group members. Monitor cooperative group interaction to see that each group is working cohesively. Approach group interaction with patience and understanding so students may experience activities of a cooperative nature.
