·  Did the teams use any of the decision making methods above?

·  Were any brainstorming strategies used?

·   Decide as a group which method(s) of decision making you would like to try.

# data[].attributes.body
Be prepared to report back as a group to your tutor in Lesson 9 on the progress you have made so far on the project. Answering the following questions will help.

1.     How many initial ideas did you have as a group?

2.     How did you come to your final idea for the proposal?

3.     Did you have a group leader? How have you decided to allocate tasks?

4.     What roles do people have in the team? How did you decide on these?

5.     What methods and sources have you used to collect information?

6.     What have been the strengths of your team so far?

7.     What could you improve on for the next two project days?

PREPARATION FOR PROJECT DAY 2: Task 7a: Field work

PREPARATION FOR PROJECT DAY 2: Task 7a: Field work

# data[].attributes.body
Day 2 is about collecting information for your project. This could take the form of fieldwork, researching online, and/or collecting primary data e.g. the opinions of members of the public.
(See the Project Brief for Suggestions)

# data[].attributes.body
- Review the ideas          generated, cluster them     - - Consider the question “How does it meet the task?” ·
- Combine ideas, refine, reject, select
- Analyse options

- Focus on the ideas with the most potential

Make sure that everyone is clear on the final proposal. Write a statement here which describes it:

And your individual role:

# data[].attributes.body
1. Contact List: You could start by all group members writing their names & contact details. This should be circulated to all members of the group.
2. Introductions
Group members should introduce themselves and say a little about their backgrounds. Even if group members know each other already, it can be useful to do this, as it gets everyone speaking.
3. Clarify Aim and Purpose of the Group Task
For the first meeting, someone should volunteer to lead the discussion and another to take notes. However, it is a good idea for the leadership and recording of meetings to be rotated around group members so everyone gets the chance to do it. This could feature in the ‘ground rules’ discussion (see below).
The group should also clarify aim and purpose of the set task. This can involve, for example, looking closely at the wording of any question or project and making sure everyone is clear on broadly what is involved and when the task as a whole must be completed and who is going to do what. It can be helpful if a written summary is made of this discussion. Everyone should then sign this and copies should be made for all members (see example below):
A. Group Task: For our group project we agreed that...Complete the sentence and POST
B. Time scale: Work must be completed by [ADD date here] Our presentation is on the 10th August, which will leave time to rehearse before the presentation day.
C. Method (Examples):
Search journal articles for previous research (NAME? )
Search books for previous research/opinion (NAME?)

Task 2:  Imagine you have joined a group of relative strangers to work on a project for your course together. There are ten of you. From the start things go badly wrong – and get worse! Group members fail to get on with each other and fail to work together successfully on the project. This is a nightmare scenario. So, what do you think would cause this to happen?

Try and separate out the reasons into two types: process related reasons (the procedures for running the group don’t work) and people related reasons (there are problems among the group members themselves).
comment on the reasons why a group would fail.

Look at the project title again and generate questions about it. This will help you think of ideas.

Develop a proposal for a brand new independent museum of local interest and critically evaluate your project.

One question could be: What museums already exist in the local area?

Write your questions in the comments below. Then, allocate a different team member to answer the questions you have written.

# data[].attributes.body
Look at the list of decision-making methods and consider some advantages and disadvantages of each.

Attached to this task is an example for you to fill out as a group.

Once you have completed this, upload the document under this task (not in the comments).

Task 1: learning how to work collaboratively

# data[].attributes.body
During your degree studies you will be expected to work collaboratively with other students in small groups. You will, for example, work with other students on joint projects that will be assessed. This will require all members of the group to contribute to the planning, research, presentation of findings and to writing the final report. You will also work informally in groups during seminars, tutorials and practical work.

Answer the  following questions:

1. What are the advantages of group work?
2. What are the main challenges to working together as a group?

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the information you gathered from task 5, start brainstorming ideas for the project proposal.

Remember:

as many ideas as possible!

no such thing as a silly idea

impractical ideas are OK!

no criticism

no judgement

'yes and...' NOT 'yes but...'

Write up your ideas in the comments section, or in this task box.

Well done for successfully signing up and remaking the Padlet. You've taken the first step!

You should be familiar with the task by now, but if you need a reminder, please refer to the project brief on Moodle - it can be found under Part 2 Listening & Speaking. It is a good idea to have this open on your laptops during the project days.

Instructions for Day 1:
Today is about learning to collaborate, and developing effective group working practices. This is good preparation for your main course programmes, where group work is common.
You will also develop and refine ideas for the project. Be open-minded and creative! By the end of the day you should have a project proposal and a clear role for each individual. You will also need to read the information in the blue boxes in preparation for Day 2.
