Students may take a chance on thinking outside their comfort zones when talking in small groups. Although, some students simply do not feel comfortable in a group setting. The teacher has to monitor, or groups can wander off to other topics. There should be a time for each in classrooms. Team/group work is a life/career skill.

The benefits is that it increases engagement, and student ownership. It facilitates discussion via the groups. If I plan the lessons, then students should be the ones doing the work during class--I should be doing less.

The drawbacks are, at least in my experience, really figuring out the group dynamics and grouping students to maximize effectiveness. You almost always need roles and responsibilities within the group.
