PDF-Module 4 - WORKING IN GROUPS-DECSION MAKING & PROBLEM SOLVING
NU FLEX LEARNING
I. Pre-test / Activity:
The class will be divided into two groups. Before they decide to guess the item
inside the box, they have to talk first and decide what is inside the boxes. For
the first three boxes, there will be categories for each box so the team can
have a clue. For box 4 and 5 clue is eliminated. For every correct guess, they
will have points and for every wrong guess, they will gain a deduction of plus
five from the original points.
MODULE 4 - WORKING IN GROUPS Page 2
For example if they have a correct point of 10 pts they will have ten, but if they
guessed it wrong they will have less 10 plus 5 equals to 15pts deduction from
their total scores.
For the group to show they agree or disagree about their guessed answer
everyone will have either thumbs up or thumbs down.
1. Discuss correctly the major ideas in Group Decission Making John Schnobrich
This method consists of separately asking each group member his or her
opinion and then averaging the results.
3. Decision By Consensus
the most effective method in decision making, it is sometimes called the
synergic decision because group members working together arrive at a
decision of higher quality than the decision they would obtain if each
one worked separately.

To evaluate the success of the solution of the group has decided to implement,
members must determine:
- Whether the solution was successfully implemented and what the effects are
- Evaluation should result in a new definition of a problem, a rediagnosis of the
situation, and the initiation of a new problem-solving sequence.
Objectives:

group who among the survivors would be able to ride the rocket ship that has
