I currently work with an agency as a visiting nurse. To date the groups within my setting have included the Human Resource team, scheduling services, payroll, and Training and Nursing departments.

Within this group orientation is provide to all new employees on the company’s policies and procedures; individuals gathers information as to who to contact in the event of an emergency; their chain of command.

I formed this group because Alyssa and I were both struggling and I know Porter is great at math so I reached out to him to help us and study together. The group has been helpful because a lot of my questions can be answered by my friends. The dynamic is great because none of us are afraid to sound dumb with questions, so we are all very open and open to helping. We haven’t strictly followed the guidelines in the hand out being that we feel that the way the study group naturally works is great for us and our own learning styles.

In the last 6 weeks, I was playing a group leader role in the DTESB project and learned quite a lot from both the project process and the TOUR 7040 lectures. Currently, I would like to reflect the study of emotional intelligence (EQ). Using emotion to achieve goals is quite easy to be understand but not easy to be done during the cooperation. Personally, I am a straightforward girl with a short temper. And the perfect teamwork in my mind is that all team members could work together with a smooth communication and a high implementation.

There are several things that I could do to be able to identify and amplify solution patterns from the group member’s perspective. To begin, as the social worker I would need to make sure I am using language that will help to facilitate members in achieving their goals and seeing the change they desire (Greene & Lee, 2011). This means that I will have to adapt to the language of the group and introduce what is known as novelty into the session (Greene & Lee, 2011). This means that any suggestion, information, or ideas that I provide to the group in regards to different coping mechanisms will not be seen as factual information, but should be seen as just giving them something to think about (Greene & Lee, 2011). By doing this, it will allow the croup members to look at the possibilities of what is being said and they are then able to decide if it is something they would like to discuss or even consider.

Initially, he was very receptive to the fact that certain individuals in the unit were asked to present gang material to schools, businesses, and organizations. In the begin, only one other coworker and I would do the presentations, due to the fact we had the most knowledge and were P.O.S.T( Police Officer Standard Training) certified to instruct.

For the first week, what I mainly did was shadowing the different staff to observe the different aspects of medical social work. For example, Phyllis, who is my supervisor, specialized in renal care while Scarlet, another staff, specialized in the A&E department. Even though it was a whole week of orientation, both Rophe and I were exposed to different events during the different days. On Tuesday, we went for a panel discussion about the different Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) that are part of the multidisciplinary team, alongside the doctors, in a hospital setting. The panel discussion also included through a discussion regarding the healthcare system in Singapore, where some of the questions were about the ideal public healthcare, keeping

In essence, teamwork can be defined as a group of people working in the same direction and for a common purpose. Teamwork requires individuals be a team player and to be able to work well with others; after all, there is no “I” in “Team”! As with any endeavour, we faced some initial setbacks. With this being our first college team assignment, we were all treading on unfamiliar territory.

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.

Although members are quite used to students on placement, understandably my presence at first created feelings of uncertainty, distrust and tension among group members. My own lack of confidence and assertiveness no doubt contributed to this, and although group facilitation required me to establish a relationship with participants, I appreciated that I had to earn the space to do this. Lee (2003), offers an interesting explanation of the difficulties for group facilitators in setting themselves apart from the group, whilst also being acceptable to them. I therefore felt it would be helpful to establish a relationship with the group, before responding to members individually, so that I could observe how each member of the group interacted with others. In doing so I came to understand how group work requires systemic thinking, that recognises how the actions of individuals are linked with the context of the wider group.
