It is important to use teams in PBL because it allows students to collaborate. Collaboration is an excellent way for students to learn. They can share their ideas and learn from each other. They can see and understand from another persons perspective. They can can also work together and help one another out.
When students work in groups common problem that often occurs would be that one student does more than the other. Or in simpler terms, one student does all of the work load while the other is just along for the ride and or grade and they all receive the same grade.
A strategy that could be used to manage the team would be to have assigned roles for each student as well as student evaluations as to how and what each student did to contribute. This can be done individually that way you have a better idea.
This week our group did not have any questions and or problems. Everything went smoothly.
