Basic Concepts

This paper sets out to test the possibilities of the Positioning Theory as a means to approach small group phenomena from a micro-cultural perspective. The study draws on a transcription of a videotaped inter-professional team meeting in the field of social services. Analysis of the data was set to examine how the basic concepts of the Positioning Theory suit the analysis of in-group phenomena, what different forms of positioning are present, and how the positioning is connected to the group processes. Studying the group’s interaction shows how it is possible to approach the interaction via the basic concepts of the Positioning Theory and how the positioning is intervened with group processes, such as decision-making, arguing, and conflict. The study also offers a new theoretical and empirical perspective to the research on small group dynamics.

This study investigated ability × treatment interaction effects on students' learning in large-group and small-group teaching approaches. Each of two elementary teachers taught a 2-week geometry unit to two classes of fourth- and fifth-grade students. Each class received one teaching approach. Stratified random assignment was used to assign students to classes. Students completed aptitude measures at the beginning of the study and achievement, attitude, and retention measures at the end. Regression analyses showed a significant curvilinear aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) for ability that supported previous ATI findings. High- and low-ability students did better in the small-group approach than in the large-group approach. Medium-ability students did slightly better in the large-group approach than in the small-group approach. Analyses of observations of group processes indicated that high- and low-ability students benefited from peer tutoring processes that occurred in the small groups.

Proposes a model of small group processes which may be used as a guide by supervisors conducting programs in Clinical Pastoral Education. Outlines and discusses structures in a group's life—early life, mid-life, late life, and transitional phases—and notes the characteristic behavior of group members in each phase. Proposes ways of leadership functions throughout the life of the small group, illustrating with vignettes.
