Gruppsammansättning och lärande : Hur elever ser på sitt lärande i grupparbeten

The aim with the study has been to get an overview of how students perceive their learning in group projects. The survey has been implemented with a quantitative questionnaire with qualitative elements during guidance. Students in grade 9 in a secondary school answered a survey study where they should take side to several proposals about learning and group work. The result shows that students in general do not find learning in group as the best learning method, but instead prefer individual learning methods when to learn new things. On the contrary, students claim that they learn best when group members not think as they but think in another direction. Several students claim that they have experienced not being welcomed in a group work and that these experiences have affected upon them. Nevertheless, this study is not profound enough to answer how that comes, to find a more adequate answer to how this affect their motivation for learning would need further studies and depth interviews
