Group work has its advantages, but possibly my sample is biased in a different direction than yours - I've always found groups a terrible way to teach programming, at least to complete beginners. Once they have the basics, then group work starts to work a bit better.
- secfirstmd 6y agoFor sure, it obviously depends on what the subject is and how a subject is taught. Group work for the sake of it is super annoying. But there is also elements of tech related teaching that with a little work can be taught in slightly different ways without the need for it to be so device heavy. Especially basic concepts. For example we teach the main parts about online surveillance with a very simple 10 minute game that allows people to stand up and physically take parts in some of the elements. They don't need to be anywhere near their devices. When we compare that to when we teach it purely with slides or webinar etc the information retention difference when we measure 1 and 6 months later is massive.
