These responses have demonstrated to me how all students learn differently and that what works best for one student may not work well for another. It is clear that some students enjoy group work while others think it does little to contribute to or enhance their learning. As a teacher, it is difficult to know if I should encourage students to work with a group despite the discomfort or give them the option of working alone. I have allowed several students to work alone because I have found that they are able to produce higher quality work. However, perhaps I am doing my students a disservice by not demanding that they work with each other. In life, people must be able to work with others in order to succeed and do well. Maybe if I required my students to work together, they would come to enjoy, or at least tolerate, the process. At the same time, I am afraid that if I require my students to do group work, then they will be turned off from learning and schoolwork, which I definitely want to avoid. Therefore, I need to find a balance between group work and individual work so that students can gain the important skills, but still feel as if they have autonomy in their work.
