“…You engage in personal decision-making daily and know that some decisions are more complex than others. When decisions are made in groups, you may face some challenges, but you also stand to benefit from some advantages of group decision-making (Napier & Gershenfeld, 2004). Group decision-making can appear fair and democratic but might only be a gesture that covers up the fact that certain group members or the group leader have already decided.…”

Key Points Question Does a 6-session professional development course on trauma-informed care improve the quality of the relationships between early childhood teachers and children in their classrooms? Findings A cluster randomized clinical trial with 96 teachers found that a course on trauma-informed care did not reduce teachers’ perception of conflict with preschool-aged children. However, in focus group interviews, teachers’ reports suggested improvements in the quality of teacher-children relationships and teachers’ relational capacities, such as empathy, emotion regulation, and dispositional mindfulness. Meaning The course had no effect on the primary outcome of teacher-children conflict, yet qualitative assessments suggested the potential for improved teacher-children relationship quality.

Leadership is crucial in studying distributed groups, since virtual systems are most effective when collaboration among learners is achieved (Alavi & Leidner, 2001).…”

“…A leader is able to avert groupthink by remaining neutral and emerging dialogue and new ideas (Hellriegel, Slocum, & Woodman, 2001). Interestingly, however, morale also tends to drop (Napier & Gershenfeld, 1985). A possible reason is that members tend to be happier with the collaboration process when they can participate freely; nonetheless such open environments usually are achieved at the expense of time taken for task accomplishment.…”

To understand the circumstances under which the use of collaborative learning systems would enhance learning efficiency, a laboratory experiment with a 2×2×2 factorial design was conducted to investigate the interaction and effects of perceived cultural diversity, group size, and leadership on learners' performances and satisfaction with process. Contrary to an expected negative relationship between perceived cultural diversity and performance, a positive relationship emerged as a result of leadership. Leadership lowered learners' satisfaction with the process in perceived homogeneous groups (as compared to perceived heterogeneous groups) and smaller groups (as compared to larger groups).
