Purpose. Professional health science educational programs have utilized numerous learning strategies including journals, practice patterns, problem-based learning (PBL), case-studies, and hypothesis-oriented algorithm for clinicians (HOAC) (Shepard et al., 2002). While, these learning strategies have found a place in the health science educational curriculums they have not been utilized in the clinic with patients. This essay provides a brief overview on the tenets of small group work associated with PBL and offers insight into how small groups may be used in the clinic as a teaching strategy.  Importance. While this essay does not offer data to support the use of small group work as a learning technique for the promotion of patient problem solving it does provide a medium for the exchange of ideas which may lead to future research in this area.

Background: Small group work embraces independent study and interactive learning, which enhance knowledge acquisition and skills. Self-directed learning (SDL) and problem-solving (PS) are essential skills in the development of the nursing profession. During the coronavirus pandemic, virtual learning was indispensable. However, little is known about how students develop SDL and PS abilities through online learning through group work. Objective: To evaluate the effects of the online intervention on SDL and PS abilities through interactive group work. Methods: A randomised waitlist-control trial was carried out. A structured intervention using problem-based learning (PBL) as a guideline was used to direct student learning in small group work. Assessments were scheduled at Time 0 (baseline), Time 1 (8th week), Time 2 (16th week), and Time 3 (28th week). Results: The mean student age was 21.45 (SD = 0.86). About 78% of students were female. There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics and analysis at the baseline. Students in the intervention group reported greater improvement in the SDLRS and PSI at the 8th week, whereas those in the waitlist control group reported greater improvement in the SDLRS and PSI at the 16th week. Sustained effects in the SDLRS and PSI were observed in both the intervention and waitlist control groups at the 16th and 28th weeks, respectively. A repeated-measure analysis was performed to compare the SDLRS and PSI in different periods and revealed statistically significant results (p < 0.001) in all subscales of SDLRS and PSI in the four study periods. Conclusions: The guidelines appear to be an effective treatment for SDL and PS ability enhancement with sustainable effects through interactive group work. The guidelines with explicit instructions and learning objectives provide directions and guidance to students to learn more effectively. The educator plays a vital role in facilitating the students’ SDL and PS ability improvement.

This study focuses on: whether there is an effect of small group work learning strategies on thematic learning outcomes and how much influence small group work learning strategies have on thematic learning outcomes of class V SDNU Bangil students. This research method uses quantitative correlation with data collation techniques through questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation and data analysis using product moment correlation statistics. From the results of this study indicate that the learning strategy of small group work on thematic learning outcomes of class V SDNU Bangil students has no effect that before the small group work learning strategy was carried out, 30% grade V students did not achieve the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM), while after 32% implementation of small group work learning strategies that did not reach the KKM. As the results of the data analysis obtained that first, there is no effect of small group work learning strategies on thematic learning outcomes of class V SDNU Bangil students, this is evidenced by the value of statistical data results which show that "r" work (ie 0.26) is more the size of the "r" product moment table where N = 28 in the 95% confidence interval is 0.374 and in the 99% confidence interval a value of 0.478 is obtained, it can be said that there is no influence between variable X and variable Y. Thus the working hypothesis the writer used stated that there was no effect of small group work learning strategies on thematic learning outcomes of class V SDNU Bangil students "not accepted". Second, the influence of small group work learning strategies on thematic learning outcomes of class V SDNU Bangil students is low. This is evidenced by the results of statistical data analysis which shows that the "r" of work is 0.26 in the coefficient interval 0.20 - 0.399.

This study attempts to discover the effect of applying Small Group Work Strategy on students’ achievement in writing procedure text. It was conducted by using experimental research design. The population of this research was the nineth (IX) grade students of SMP N 1 Padang Bolak Julu which consists of 3 parallel classes with the total number of students is 90. The samples of this research were taken by random sampling through lottery technique. The result was class IX1 consisted of 30 students became the experimental group and class IX3 consisted of 30 students became the control group. The experimental group was taught by Small Group Work Strategy while the control group was taught by using individual work strategy. The instrument was used to collect the data was writing procedure text. After the data were analyzed, it was found that the value of t-observed was 3.37 with the degree of freedom (df) = 58 at the level significance 0.05. it means that t-observed was higher than t-table (3.37 > 2.00. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is reected and the hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted.Key words : Small Group Work Strategy, Writing Procedure Text.
