Portfolio for Group Dynamic

This course involves the study of human beings in relationship to other persons, singularly and in groups. The course explores-in theory and through in-class exercises – the real-life application of various aspects of group dynamics including (but not limited to) leadership, motivation, perception, power, and decision-making.

One of the goals of formalized training is to provide students with information and training and to have them apply this learning both inside and outside the traditional classroom environment. Through your life experience, you have essentially completed the same process, but in reverse. Keep this in mind as you answer the following question for each learning outcome.

1. Examine how group dynamics, processes, and therapeutic aspects are cultivated and experienced within various group contexts.
2. Demonstrate familiarity with different types of groups, including their formation, structure, function, power distribution, and member motivation.
3. Critically evaluate the effectiveness of various leadership styles, activities, and techniques in different types of groups.
4. Apply best practices, ethical guidelines, and biblical principles to group leadership.
