group where all members interact with each other.

their own views,development of creativity etc.

group.
CONCEPT AND DEFINITION

• When instruction is organised in such a manner that students carry out the instructional activities
together in a group it is called GCI. 
• GCI is based on the fact that every member of the group actively participates in the instructional activity.
• Learning takes place due to interaction among the group members and learning by doing work in the
group with the support of each other.
• Thus, learning in this mode of instruction is controlled by the interactive climate generated by the group
working as a team with mutual support.
• Therefore, GCI may be defined as the mode of instruction wherein learning is dependent on group
interaction or mutual support of group members.
IMPORTANCE OF GROUP CONTROLLED
