Peer Groupings

 

Description:

Peer groupings can be used to develop performance. This is carried out by working in groups when you are improving your performance. Within the group, you can focus on a specific sub-factor within the social factor (e.g. codes of conduct, etiquette, fair play, relationships etc.). The peer group can be within your class or within a specific team within the class- it will be dependent on what your focus in.

 

Advantages:

The advantages of using peer grouping to develop the social factor include:

·        the whole group can develop the factor at the same time;

·        you can work with the peers who you will be performing with over and over again with or within your single performance;

·        improving the ability to work with others will have a positive impact on your whole performance.

 

Disadvantages:

The disadvantages of using peer grouping to develop the social factor include:

·        the approach will only work if everyone in the peer group applies themselves;

·        some people in the group may refuse to cooperative with each other resulting in a negative experience for all;

·        if one person in the group struggles to improve, this will result in a negative experience for all members.
