A Level PE- Psychology- Groups and Cohesion (AQA but would work for Edexcel and other) 3-4 lessons

These resources provide 3 -4 lessons worth of activities that cover all the content for the topic of groups and cohesion.

The resources are detail, challenging and pupil friendly.

Lesson 1- Tell me more resources- This covers cohesion (task and social), and group Dynamics. Each pupils is given one card. You get the group to get into pairs and they them teach the other person about the card. If the person would like to know more information they can say 'tell me more'. After 2 minutes the other person teaches their sheet. After two minutes they both swap their sheet (THIS IS VERY IMORTANT!!!)
They then move to another pupil and begin the process again.
This is a fantastic teaching and learning strategy as pupils revisit and reinforce content and understanding and therefore the ability to recall information.
I do this activity for around 25 minutes. I would then get them to complete the cohesion section on the mind map and then attempt the two past paper questions.
HMK would be to look over the other theories and content on the mind map in preparation for next lesson

Lesson 2 and 3-
Group Formation and Carron’s antecedents
Steiner's model of potential and actual productivity
Faulty group processes, strategies to overcome faulty processes.
Ringlemann effect and social loafing, strategies to overcome social loafing.
Tuckman's model of group formation

Starter and Plenary- Fill out slide 1 (I blow this up to A3). Pupils only write the answers that the definitely know. I get them to do this in a green pen and when I they revisit this they do it in a different colour pen so there is evidence of progress.

Slides 3- 13 then consist of a seies of different workshops that cover all the content for groups. This includes workshops such as building towers, play doh modelling, A-Z game, Tug of war investigation, and a Tarsia Puzzle. All these workshops are explained within the PowerPoint.

Slides 14-16- Past paper question and extended question with examiners commentary and past pupils answer. This can be set for hmk or can be the next lesson.
I get the group to highlight certain sections of the examiners commentary and then look for evidence of this in the pupil answer. They can also mark the answer using the mark scheme. This helps to reinforce knowledge as well as developing confidence of answer extended questions
