Uspešen nastop je rezultat premagovanja številnih izzivov, tako fizičnih kot psihičnih, s katerimi se glasbene in športne skupine srečujejo na svoji poti. Na prvi pogled se mogoče zdi, da teme z glasbenega področja nimajo veliko skupnega s temami s športnega področja, vendar pa obstaja kar veliko podobnosti. Namen naše raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kakšne so podobnosti priprave in izvedbe glasbenega nastopa v manjših skupinah v primerjavi s pripravo in izvedbo tekmovanja v ekipnih športih. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 51 študentov Akademije za glasbo in 54 študentov Fakultete za šport, ki so člani manjših skupin (do 12 članov). Rezultati so pokazali, da med skupino glasbenikov in skupino športnikov obstajajo podobnosti pri dejavnikih, ki najpomembneje vplivajo na delovanje manjše skupine, podobnosti pri dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na uspešnost izvedbe nastopa, ter podobnosti pri psihični pripravi na glasbeno oz. športno izvedbo v manjših skupinah. Nekatere razlike so se pokazale v zaznavanju prednosti in slabosti skupinske izvedbe glede na individualno izvedbo. Prav tako so bile potrjene razlike v raznolikosti vrst izvedbe pri glasbenikih kot pri športnikih v manjših skupinah.

Exponential Rates

Online learning programs have been expanding at exponential rates. To help encourage the development of learning communities within these environments, practitioners and scholars are advocating more collaborative learning approaches. Yet, many students express reservations about learning in small groups, particularly online. In this chapter, we explore more deeply the nature of student ambivalence about online collaborative learning. Weaving the findings of case studies of online groups with research and theory in collaborative learning and group dynamics, we argue that students hold on to highly subjective and individualistic understandings of teaching and learning. These perspectives manifest themselves in their overall approach to group inquiry and decision making. To embrace a more interdependent and intersubjective perspective requires a paradigm shift among members with regard to teaching and learning, and a working through of the powerful emotional dynamics associated with group development. We conclude with suggestions for designing and facilitating online environments that addresses these issues.

Small Group Leaders

This three-part series considers the current and widespread trend of church-based small groups for adult spiritual formation. It is proposed that a focus on relationships must be kept in balance with learning and application of biblical truth in order for greater spiritual growth to result. The mini-series appears in three parts: The first article (Spring 2008) assesses small group ministries for an understanding of the current state of its sometimes blemished practice. In addition, a review of Christian-oriented small group literature is included, as well as an annotated bibliography of non-Christian-oriented small group literature. The second article (Fall 2008) is intended to augment small group practice by adapting key educational insights from the academic disciplines of group dynamics, communication theory, and educational psychology. The third article (Spring 2009) anchors small group practice by delving into the unique spiritual aspects of learning and addresses the biblical/theological apologetic for the centrality of Scripture. Finally, suggested applications are given for small group leaders and trainers of leaders as to how adults may be more effectively stimulated to learn and grow through such group involvement.

Simulated virtual realities offer a promising but currently underutilized source of data in studying cultural and demographic aspects of dynamic decision-making (DDM) in small groups. This study focuses on one simulated reality, a clock-driven business simulation game, which is used to teach operations management. The purpose of our study is to analyze the characteristics of the decision-making groups, such as cultural orientation, education, gender and group size, and their relationship to group performance in a real-time processed simulation game. Our study examines decision-making in small groups of two or three employees from a global manufacturing and service operations company. We aim at shedding new light on how such groups with diverse background profiles perform as decision-making units. Our results reveal that the profile of the decision-making group influences the outcome of decision-making, the final business result of the simulation game. In particular, the cultural and gender diversity, as well as group size seem to have intertwined effects on team performance.

In this paper we present the discussions of the Eltham group in the Greenwich Open-Space project, as a case study of the contributions that in-depth small groups can make in the study of environmental values. The major themes of the group discussions are presented, and extracts of dialogue illustrate several aspects of small-group dynamics: how the group establishes its identity, how members negotiate increasing levels of intimacy and trust, how they handle conflict among themselves, and how they deal with termination. These themes demonstrate the importance of the group matrix, the levels of manifest and latent meaning in discourse, and the role of the conductor in facilitating the group structure and processes. We conclude that in-depth small groups are a valuable research strategy for the exploration of the interpenetration of individual and collective values for environment.

Competing Interest

IntroductionThe teaching of behavioral sciences was in form of lectures to the medical students in the 2nd year of the college, because the lecture is the least beneficial method of teaching. As I have noticed also that students were more interested to practice behavioral skills. So I suggested to the authority of the faculty to teach part of the behavioral sciences in a practical way and proposal of that was introduced and accepted to teach in that way and to give 20% of marks to this practical part, this in addition to the same theoretical lectures.MethodThe students were divided into groups of 30, every group present one day only through their 2nd year. This day divided into two parts each is 2 hours and in between have an hour break. The 1st part includes group discussion about communication, group dynamics, group leading and scientific way of problem solving. The 2nd part is dividing students into small groups of 10 students, to practice the previous skills in group interaction to solve one problem in a scientific way. All groups collected again to see what they have done.ResultsThe results revealed more interest and more enthusiasm to learn in that way and make it easy to practice in their daily life.ConclusionWe have to change into more practice in our teaching of medical students especially skills of human communication, group leading group dynamics as well as problem solving.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Is social aggregation in aquatic crustaceans a strategy to conserve energy?

Swarming Behaviour

Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, is preeminently a gregarious animal. It lives for almost the whole of its existence from the late furcilia stage in aggregations. Despite this, laboratory study of schooling and swarming behaviour has been seriously neglected and critical emergent properties of group dynamics may have been overlooked. Using different-sized groups of gregarious mysids, I show that weight-specific oxygen uptake is reduced by about seven times when they form cohesive aggregations compared with when they are in uncohesive small groups. If this is true for E. superba, it casts doubt on all previous measurements of metabolic rate and suggests that estimates of the metabolic cost of swimming and perhaps feeding are much too high. The reason that groups conserve energy compared with isolates or small groups is hypothesised to be at least partly due to hydrodynamic processes, which serve to minimise sinking rates. Dye plumes revealed updrafts generated by mysid swarms, which could be exploited by individuals to reduce their sinking rate. These circulation patterns might also increase the efficiency of particle capture by aggregations. I propose that aggregation in aquatic crustaceans is a strategy to optimise energy expenditure and maximise food capture. Measuring behavioural and physiological rate processes in isolated animals will produce only artifacts.
