Group work is one of the most predominantly teaching practices in the classroom as it facilitates students' collaboration to achieve shared learning goals. However, constructing group work is challenging in numerous ways where teachers are required to carefully consider the complexities involved which can affect the whole teaching and learning process. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the perception of learners on their use of learning strategies when conducting group work using Tuckman's Model (1965). Purposive sampling was used to carry out a quantitative survey involving 303 respondents from pre-diploma to degree level of a public university in Malaysia. The instrument used is a 5 Likert-scale questionnaire related to the four stages of group development which are forming, storming, norming and performing. From the study, it was found that these four stages of group development have a strong positive relationship and significant association towards group behaviour. It is vital to study group behaviour based on the different stages of group development as it will lead to higher quality work and the group can function more efficiently. Future researchers should look into the influence of group behaviour between different levels of study. The effectiveness of group work among students with different levels of language proficiency in a foreign language hybrid classroom would also be recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
