techniques for improving communication in groups
In the Small Group Communication book, there was a section titled “Techniques for improving Communication in Groups.” I think this section of the book is really important because we have all been in a situation and will be in more of these circumstances where we will need to work with people and improve the communication between us and our peers. One of the ways to help improve the communication is for everyone to have individual roles. For example, when you are at a study group, and everyone has their own roles (Bob does chapter 11, Jane does chapter 12, Fred does chapter 13, etc.), it makes it easier when everyone does their own part. It’s frustrating when someone is assigned a particular task and does not end up fulfilling it. Another thing the book mentioned was deliberation and participation. In order for a group to work best is for everyone to participate in the discussion or whatever is going on. Don’t just let other people think for you. Everyone needs to think on their own and actively share their thoughts and opinions so that everyone can work through things together and have a more improved communication in their group.

Hi Pinkash,
ReplyDeleteI agree this was a very helpful part of the book. Group communication is very important because there is constantly situations in life where we will have to communicate with others in a group setting and learning how to communicate effectively in these situations will help to improve the over all situation and success of the group. I really enjoyed the small group communication book. I found the information provided in it to be very practical and useful. I don't think I will be selling that book back after this class. Good luck with your finals and have a great summer.
