Product Description

Review

'This is a truly excellent book. With a solid theoretical underpinning, it is wide-ranging, accessible, practical and, above all, useful...Whatever your role, if you want to enable groups to function and learn well, read and use this book!' - Bob Rotheram, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK

'What a great book! One of the all-time great writers on small group work joins forces with the queen of online learning. This book is readable, theoretically rigorous, practical, and excellently presented.'Trish Greenhalgh, University College London, UK

'The book progresses well from the theoretical underpinning of group behaviour to assessment within groups and pratcial check lists for leaders. The online learning points are well integrated and not viewed as add-ons. In its general framework, the book is extremely coherent with excellent use of bullet points, diagrams, tables and shading to encourage clarity of thought.' - British Journal of Educational Technology

juicy research 14 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
I've been facilitating groups since 1988. This book consolidates what's taken me 20 years to learn, and taught me plenty more besides. It's organised and written in a way that's easy to follow, without every patronising the reader. In particular, the research shines out. The authors don't just make statements of opinion, they back up concepts with plenty of solid research. The research doesn't weigh the book down or get in the way of the flow - it anchors it to reality. The most clear and comprehensive you're likely to find on the subject - an excellent investment.
