“…In the last phase, the members of the team decide to work together as a team and work towards a compromise. Conflicts in group talks arise when team members are unable to explore alternative ideas or simply listen to different viewpoints, according to a study by (Sim et al, 2021). It has been observed that team members tend to remain silent when they disagree.…”

Collaborative group work plays a vital role in fostering the comprehensive growth of university students. Within the context of students' collective efforts, conflict within student collaboration can disrupt harmony or catalyse growth and innovation. Tuckman (1965) introduced the group development model involving forming, storming, norming, and performing stages. This study aims to investigate the impact of conflict in group work on learning the Japanese language, employing (Tuckman's Model, 1965). A quantitative survey was conducted, utilising a Google Form with four sections, including items on demographic profiles and 29 questions rated on a 5-Likert scale. The survey involved 112 students from a public university in Malaysia. The findings have shown effective leadership, positive communication, and consensus on goals play a crucial role in resolving conflicts within a group. Furthermore, the results highlight significant associations and relationships among the four stages of forming, storming, norming, and performing group work. Hence, educators should prioritize guiding students through the norming stage, as successful progression is crucial for achieving a high-performing stage. Further research is recommended to explore common conflicts during group formation and develop effective resolution strategies.

This study aimed to investigate the experiences of students in group performance-based tasks in Physical Education. In addition, this study also wanted to know the strategies and coping mechanisms of the students employed and their insights regarding group performance-based tasksin Physical Education. This study involved fourteen (14) students, seven (7) of the 14 participants were subjected to an in-depth interview (IDI), while the remaining seven (7) took part in a focus group discussion (FGD). Purposive sampling was used to select participants; data were gathered through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The results revealed seven (7) major themes of the participants' experiences: observation of strengthened and happy relationships among groupmates; struggles in time management; observation to uncooperative members; over-reliance on leaders; difficulties in maintaining discipline among members; conflicts in group dynamics; and issues in mental health. Moreover, the participants showcased their strategies and coping mechanisms from the six (6) major themes that emerged including: exercising proper time management; distributing tasks and assignments; extending patience to groupmates; maintaining good communication; establishing support system; and motivating groupmates. Lastly, the participants shared their insights that revealed five (5) major themes: teachers’ instruction and management in group tasks; inculcate the value of teamwork; valuing inclusivity and good communication; cultivate good values in engaging group tasks; and provide learners with skill development activities. Regardless of the difficulties presented by group performance-based tasks in physical education, students worked together to overcome and explore different approaches to develop achievable and efficient ways that improve the implementation and more comprehensive understanding of physical education concepts
