Nurse Educ. 2006 Jan-Feb;31(1):26-30. doi: 10.1097/00006223-200601000-00007.

Abstract

Although often part of course requirements, group work can present problems for students and faculty and is not always a positive learning experience. Lack of member motivation to work in a group situation, generational differences between members, and scheduling problems can impact the learning that takes place during a group project. The author discusses several interventions to ameliorate these problems.
