Structuring Cooperative Learning to Promote Social and Academic Learning
Published in Gillies Robyn M., Inquiry-Based Science Education, 2020
When individual accountability or personal responsibility is evident, group members realise that others are also contributing to the group’s goals. This, in turn, helps to create a sense of group cohesion and motivation to work together as members realise the importance of their contributions to the group’s goals. Johnson and Johnson (2009) found that individual accountability or personal accountability increases the effectiveness of a group and the work members do by ensuring that everyone contributes to the group’s goals.

Group cohesion activity This brings the group together and helps them to focus on the purpose of the group. The activity should be simple, stress-free and involve everyone. For ideas see Talkabout for Children, Books 1 and 2.

Behavioural integration is seen when people become dependent on each other to satisfy their needs, which can include social and psychological dimensions. This is the level at which people start to develop group cohesion.

After the second student-led virtual group therapy simulation, the faculty conducted an oral debrief and reflection with the students using the following guiding questions:What is your opinion about group norms?How would you describe group cohesion at this point and are there any positives or barriers?Discuss the generation of trust that is developing in this group.Identify the manifestation of resistance in this group.How do you foresee the emergence of conflict and resolution in this group?Identify any healing forces in this group.How do you describe the reactions of group members and yourself?What stage of development is the group at this point?

One surprising finding from this study was that higher self-control was related to lower group cohesiveness. It is difficult to interpret what this finding means, as it is in the opposite direction of what we would predict. However, a previous study had found a similar relationship with a specific subscale of group cohesion: task cohesion.34 They hypothesized that greater task cohesion may lead to more conformity or pressure to perform as opposed to develop, which may have a negative impact on learning self-regulation strategies. It is possible that in these athletes, lower self-control is related to more feelings of pressure to perform, which may have a negative impact not only on task cohesion, but also on the relationships with their teammates and their general sense of group cohesion. Another interesting finding was that none of the subscales of the DERS were significantly correlated with group cohesion. It is possible that it is the combined influence of the different components of emotion regulation rather than any one component on its own that relate to higher ratings of group cohesion.

As a Phase 1 b development study (ORBIT model27) this intervention is backed by a strong theoretical basis and empirical evidence. It is known that Social Cognitive Theory-based interventions are promising for improving PA and this has also been demonstrated for cancer survivors.45 The intentional application of group dynamics principles to foster interaction and cohesion, as well as a fidelity check to assess group cohesion at baseline and post-intervention are study strengths. A recent review on group-based PA interventions for cancer survivors revealed that none of the 23 reviewed studies measured group cohesion to assess the degree of change following the implementation of group dynamics strategies.39,42 One of the study limitations is in-person program delivery, which may have been a significant barrier to participation for many. Inherently, as a Phase 1 b study, the focus is on a small sample and understandably limits the generalizability of these findings, and we urge some caution in this regard. Selection bias may have impacted the retention rate given that participants who joined the study felt they were able to attend the program.
