 Group Processing
"Groups need specific time to discuss
how well they are achieving their
goals and maintaining effective
working relationships among
members. Johnson et al. (2006, 1:30)

 Instructors set up group processing for their
students in a number of ways.
First, they choose the skills they want the groups to
focus on as a part of setting the objectives for the
activity.
Second, they explain to their students what actions
are expected of them throughout the activity.
Then they monitor the different groups during the
activity, observing student actions and intervening
if necessary to improve a group's learning.
 Group Processing

Feedback:Each student in the group gives and receives positive

feedback on their contribution to the group. It's very important that
the feedback is positive in order to generate forward momentum
towards improving performance.

Reflection:Students analyze and reflect on the feedback they've

been given.

Improvement Goals:Individual students and groups set goals for

improving their work. Individuals can pick a particular social skill to
use more effectively. Groups can decide on a collaborative skills to
work on next time.

Celebration:Groups celebrate the hard work and contributions of the

members as well as the success of the group. Celebrations provide
students with encouragement to continue improving their group work.
 A common procedure for group
processing is to ask each group to list
at least three things the group did
well and at least one thing that could
be improve
 Tools & techniques for promoting Group Processing

Lesson Plans The easiest tool for

implementing Group Processing is the
lesson plan. From our experience, if
teachers do not plan for Group
Processing it is routinely forgotten when
implementing cooperative learning. In
the Three-phase lesson presented later in
this articel Group Processing fits most
naturally in the assessment phase of a
lesson.
 Questions
When asking students to discuss and
evaluate their team functioning, the
discussion usually will not happen
without certain prompts. Questions
tend to be the best prompts for students
in cooperative learning.
 Talking chips
Talking chips are used to ensure all team
members have a voice during group processing.
The talking chips strategy is used to promote
equal participation among a group. The goal is for
each student to place a chip on the table when
they want to contribute to the conversation.

Talking sticks
talking stick is commonly used in a group of
people to decide who had the right to speak. In
talking Stick, only the team member holding the
stick is allowed to speak.
