The purpose of group learning and development is to ensure that all learning styles are catered for and the ultimate goal of sharing knowledge is achieved. When using a group to deliver something new each individual can call on a fellow participant to confirm understanding.
1.2 Explain why delivery of learning and development must reflect group dynamics
When delivering to a group it is important to consider, what is the normal behaviour within the group? Who plays what role? there will be many different characters and the trainer must be aware of them so the learning can be adapted. The trainer must be aware of the dynamics in the group and be aware of behaviours so that he/she can make sure all participants are always involved and no one is missed out if there are

1.5 Explain how to overcome barriers to learning in groups
The trainer must be aware of the variety of learning styles that may be present in the group at any one time, the trainer must ensure that throughout the deliver each learning style is accommodated for such as – Kinaesthetic, visual and auditory. If appropriate the trainer can ask the group to complete the learning styles diagnosis test before delivery starts.
A trainer must also be aware of other learning difficulties that a participant may have such as dyslexia, the trainer should, where possible, know about this before the session so that he/she can prepare correctly.
Whilst group sessions are very popular and successful, it may be required to do some one-on-one training. The trainer may already be aware if one-to-one training is required and should plan a session in accordance with the learner’s styles. If, however the trainer decides during a group session that a participant would benefit from one on one learning he/she should make the group session as comfortable as possible for the learner then approach the learner and arrange an alternative approach and
When supporting children individually, you can ensure you give tailored support specific for that child’s needs instead of having to consider the needs of others. It is an ideal situation to be in but sadly it is often an unrealistic one. Therefore it is important to plan and prepare for such events to ensure you can get the most out of the session. Before you aim to support a child in this way, you must first get to know the child, their likes/dislikes, any special requirements/IEP’s/SEN’s etc. A brief conversation with their parent or carer or, if that is not possible, their class teacher, can provide you with the right information if the right questions are asked.
Assignment 301 - Task B a) As a trainer, appropriate behaviour needs to be controlled initially by the setting of boundaries, although not all boundaries will resolve behaviour. This is essential to help ensure all rules are understood and followed all the time, and will then prevent trainees taking advantage of the others in the group. Rules need to be respected, and trust from the learner to progress.

1.5 Kohn’s Student Directed Learning Theory Kohn’s student-directed learning theory is an approach to the classroom management which may be particularly effective in the modern classroom environment. Student-directed learning will keep students motivated and teaches them to cooperate with each other sharing responsibilities and functions within their community. Kohn believes that the ideal classroom emphasizes on curiosity and cooperation above all, and that the student’s curiosity should determine what is taught. "Skillful educators tap students ' natural curiosity and desire to become competent.
Introduction After the Advanced Skills Facilitation course, I had learned many counselling skills in group counselling and different settings of group counselling. Also, it provided a lot of exercises for us to practice group counselling sessions. Thus, there are many things that I can make a reflection on it.
Also, since my group members had a close relationship with me, they paied more attention to what I said and what I did. By modeling proper behaviors, my group members would have a clear model for observation and imitation. However, since I was the model in the group, the group lacked interaction between group members. It would be better if I empowered some group members to be a model in the group, which would not only increase self-awareness of the person who act as
Most Efficient forms of the learning process: - Acc. to Lewin, learning is best facilitated in an environment where there is dialectic tension and conflict between immediate, concrete experience and analytic detachment. By bringing together the immediate experiences of the trainees and the conceptual models of the staff in an open atmosphere where inputs from each perspective could challenge and stimulate the other, a learning environment occurred with remarkable vitality and creativity. (Kolb.) Pillars of an efficient learning mechanism in group settings:- o Feedback:-There was a concern that organizations, groups and relationships generally suffered from a lack of accurate information about what was happening around their performance. Feedback became a key ingredient of T-groups and was found to ‘be most effective when it stemmed from here-and-now observations, when it followed the generating event as closely as possible, and when the recipient checked with other group members to establish its validity and reduce perceptual distortion’ (Yalom 1995: 489). o Unfreezing:-This was taken directly from Kurt Lewin’s change theory.
PURPOSE The audience will gain a deeper understanding about the disability and how it affects the people who are afflicted by it. INTRODUCTION Take a few seconds to read the following paragraph.

I will use Bruce Tuckman 's five stage group development model to outline the stages of the group process.
“Relating to others is the challenge of ‘walking in others’ shoes” (NZ curriculum, 1999). In skill theme approach all students perceive the same task, presentation, practice and feedback. To move to subsequent task on the list students first must demonstrate mastery of learning task. Each child has some idea of what the other is going through. Therefore, makes it easier to offer and ask for help, and build reciprocal relationships (Metzler, 2011).
It is one of the most effective forms of learning. Working in isolation is very restrictive and gives a slow progress. Critical thinking is also encouraged when learners work in groups. Through collaborative activities such as writing, debates, group projects and more they learn to work together and to respect each other contribution. The traditional relationship between student and teacher is changed with collaborative learning.
