- In informal group learning, groups often form ad hoc from near neighbors in a class.
- In formal group learning, it is helpful for the instructor to form groups that are heterogeneous with regard to particular skills or abilities relevant to group tasks. For example, groups may be heterogeneous with regard to academic skill in the
discipline or with regard to other skills related to the group task (e.g., design capabilities, programming skills, writing skills, organizational skills) (Johnson et al, 2006).
- Groups from 2-6 are generally recommended, with groups that consist of three members exhibiting the best
performance in some problem-solving tasks (Johnson et al., 2006; Heller and Hollabaugh, 1992).
- To avoid common problems in group work, such as dominance by a single student or conflict avoidance, it can be useful
to assign roles to group members (e.g., manager, skeptic, educator, conciliator) and to rotate them on a regular basis (Heller and Hollabaugh, 1992).
- Assigning these roles is not necessary in well-functioning groups, but can be useful for
students who are unfamiliar with or unskilled at group work.

"Students gain a better understanding of themselves. Group work allows people to

gain a more accurate picture of how others see them."
"People remember group discussions better. Group learning fosters learning and
comprehension. Students working in small groups have a tendency to learn more
of what is taught and retain it longer than when the same material is presented in
other instructional formats (Barkley, Cross & Major, 2005; Davis, 1993)."
