What involved group member? 

  Five areas that are frequently cited by the experts on task groups are the five C's: Control, Conflict, Communication, Consensus, and Cohesion. The five C' can make or break a task group experience.

     Groups are dynamic and fluid, which often means that the five C's will be interrelated and interconnected. All can influence member satisfaction and ultimately the level of success the group will have attaining its goals. Thinking about some of the pitfalls that task groups can experience, and some strategies that may help you avoid them, may help you prepare for your own task group experience.

Here is the brief meaning for 5 C's

Control

In group, someone need to be appointed to be as a leader. No exception since everything need to run smoothly. Despite that, as a leader the person need to control the situation in order to have a solution. Moreover, as leader he or she need to set a goal, agenda and carried out the purpose of the meeting. If not, there is no coherent in the meeting. They will feel disappointed or no giving any contribution nor giving ideas on the meeting.

Leader play an important role to control the meeting .

Conflict

The thing that you can't really avoid is conflict that always occur during the meeting. Conflict happened when the teammates arguing over an topic. It is important to avoid an arguments 

Communication

In any type of group, communication is very important, because miscommunication almost always leads to problems. In task groups, different communication styles can create a situation in which group members misinterpret messages and fail to have a true dialogue. So as a leader or any of group members, you need to tolerance with each other and have a good communication soo everyone will understand the instruction .

Cohesion

Being a member of a group with no cohesion or no sense of belonging can be very disheartening. Members may have difficulty expending a lot of energy in a group where members have no sense of connectedness or common purpose. Despite that, they will have low interest when they can't bond with each other. 

Consensus 

 Task groups are frequently in the position of having to choose between different options. This means that groups must decide, in advance preferably, how they will arrive at a final decision. One pattern that can develop occurs when a small group of members is in contact outside of the formal meeting and makes a decision.

Why it is in LEARNING??

What is Learning Task?

If I'm not mistaken! students are quite aware with learning task where they have been exposed since they in primary school until today? why today because as long you are in a community you will communicate and working with others whether without intentionally. 

Learning task is specifically for the students itself where they sometimes has been divided into group. Or without a choice they do it in individually.

Despite that, the thing that really concern here is where students should know what type of task is that and also who are the one that suitable to complete the task.

The are quite numbers cases where students having problems with their group member to complete their task. It is because  there is no harmony in their team for example sleeping partner and also 'parasite' the person that not giving any contribution in the assignment.

Cute enough haaaa???

It is important for them to choose the suitable teammate if not. There is no way to accomplish their task .

BE WISE ALWAYS

Defination of Individual task :D

Did you know?? INDIVIDUAL TASK 

As is the case with many terms commonly used in higher education learning, such as 
critical thinking, individual task can mean different things to different people in different disciplines and in different required of them within their new context and discipline. Individual task is a process, a method and a philosophy of education in which a student requires knowledge by his or her  own efforts and develops the ability for inquiry and critical evaluation (Philip Candy, 1991). It includes freedom of choice in determining those objectives, within the limits of a given project or program and with the aid of a faculty adviser. Furthermore, it places increased educational responsibility on the student for the achieving of objectives and for the value of the goals. Moreover, individual task can be seen quite broadly to encompass a variety of situations and contexts where students are interpreting and scaffolding new knowledge and skills independently from those around them. However, this may include situations of group learning where activity may be 
collaborative and individual learning outcomes similar or different but each reached 
independently. Considered in this light, individual task does not need to be seen only in 
terms of learning in ‘isolation’ buy also within a community of learners (Forster, 1972).

Defination of Group Task! what say you :D

WHAT IS GROUP MEMBER??

Greeting!  As we all know, most of the students are quite familiar about group task and individual task but no one know the right definition for each. So, here is some the right meaning for group task. 

Group is defined as two or more individuals who are connected to one another by social relationships. A group can range in size from two members to thousands of members. Very small collective, such as dyads (two members) and triads (three members) are group but so very large collections of people, such as mobs, crowds and congregation (Simmel, 1902). It is also defined as a group of people with different skills and different tasks, who work together to on a common project, service, or goal, with a meshing of functions and mutual support. Group also can be defining as networked where they are connected one to another. A part of that, group also can be divided into two which is primary and secondary. Primary groups form when people interact in significant, meaningful ways for a prolonged period of time. According to Cooley (1909, p.23) thought that primary groups protect members from harm, care for them when they are ill, and provide them with shelter and sustenance. Meanwhile, secondary groups are such groups that are larger and more formally organized than primary groups, and they tend to be shorter in duration and less emotionally involving. However, secondary groups continue do define the individual’s place in the social structure of society (T. Parsons, Bales, & Shils, (1953). Based on the category students can be categorized as the secondary groups.
