CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Group works, in all levels of education from compulsory education to higher education, is

used as a mean of learning with the main purpose of serving as an incentive for learning. And

according to the research conducted by Lou et Al.., 1996; Gillies and Boyle, 2010, 2011, it

shows that there has been an increase in students’ cooperation in the classroom in the 20th

Century. This increase in the cooperation of the students in the classroom indicates that group

works provide positive effects for both students and teachers. Group work is given to students to

enhance and develop communication and interaction skills between individuals that was essential

in the professional world. Positive group experiences, moreover, have been shown to contribute

to student learning, retention, and overall college success (Astin, 1997; Tinto 1998; National

Survey of Students Engagement).

Group projects are simply a stage where teachers are preparing their students to reinforce

skills that are relevant to both group and individual work. It enhances ones’ ability to break

complex tasks into parts and steps, plan and manage time, refine understanding through

discussion and explanation, give and receive feedback on performance, challenge assumptions,

and develop stronger communication skills (Carnegie Mellon University). At present, there is

strong scientific support for the benefits of students learning and working in groups. Group work
