a post-hoc analysis showed that participants rating of “Overall, our group is functioning well” statistically predicted every other rating in the survey except for the item about “working individually” (performed as correlation among survey items). That indicates that group functioning can be seen as the gateway by which learning happened. Groups that got along and had more fun accomplished more, learned more, and got more out of the class. With this in mind, it is important to note that not all groups functioned equally well. It is our experience that some groups “gel” early, others not until the middle of the course, others never seem to fully connect even once the course is over (Koehler, Mishra, Hershey, & Peruski, 2004).
