Teaching And Learning Plan Reflection At Centennial College

Teaching and Learning Plan Reflection
Look Back
This event took place at Centennial College from January 26, 2016 to February 9, 2016. The purpose of this event was to get together with my assigned group and create a teaching and learning plan to teach Aboriginal elementary school children about the importance of hand hygiene. My team was made up of five team members.
Elaborate
The elements of group process are to start and finish group assignment effectively while working with group members. The phases of group development are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Kelly and Crawford (2013) explained that forming is the introduction of each group member and formation of boundary, storming is the identification of different
The end result of the teaching and learning plan was adequate to achieve group task. We were able to complete the assignment within the time frame and each group member also participated to teach peers from a different group. My group members felt that we achieved the intended results of our group goals.
Analysis

The reason why it was difficult because I had to deal with an each personality
The dynamic of my group was diverse, but it helped us to come up with creative and resolving ideas to successfully complete our group task. Group process was difficult at first because I did not know each group member work ethic or how each member would act in a group setting. Throughout the group process we had different types of conflict management styles such as, accommodation, competition, compromise and collaboration. Beebe et al. (2015) expressed that accommodation is a lose-win approach to conflict, competition is a win-lose strategy to conflict, compromise is a lose-lose or win-win approach to conflict and collaboration is a win-win solution. My group had to use these conflict management styles and tried to put aside our differences so we can focus on group goal. The impact of group process had on our group performance was significant. An example of this was when we had to find a song that we can sing to Aboriginal children so they know how
