Having students work together in small groups on learning activities is a popular alternative to teaching the whole class as one large group. The average age of students in a classroom can, of course, be an important consideration when choosing any teaching approach. I'd like us to consider two age groups: very young students (ages 5-11) and older students (ages 14-18). Which age group do you think would benefit more from working in small groups on learning activities? Why?

Claire

Group learning activities for older high school students may not be effective. Teenagers will often waste time socializing with their friends when you get them into groups, forcing one or two students in the group to do all the work. Younger students, however, will probably respect the teacher more and work together on activities, even if they're bored.

Andrew

I disagree. Group learning activities can be highly effective for teenagers. Kids of this age are particularly competitive, and putting them in teams is a great way to motivate them. In my high school history class, we were organized into small teams. We would often see which team could create the most engaging presentation. I ended up learning a lot.

In my opinion, older students (ages 14–18) benefit more from working in small groups, supporting Andrew’s argument that teamwork motivates teenagers. I believe small-group activities for this age group also teach crucial real-world skills. To be more specific, teenagers can learn how to negotiate differing ideas and delegate tasks effectively, skills directly applicable to future workplaces. Unlike younger children, older students can handle more complex discussions and projects, building leadership and collaboration skills. Additionally, well-designed group activities, such as debates or problem-solving challenges, can reduce the risk of social distractions. For instance, my cousin participated in a science group project where each member had a specific role, such as designing experiments, collecting data, and presenting findings. This approach ensured equal contribution, while encouraging teamwork and critical thinking. Overall, small-group learning not only keeps older students engaged but also helps them develop practical skills for adulthood.
