Introduction

As part of my Education Studies degree I am taking the module ‘Studies in Scientific and Creative Learning’. For the first part of the assignment for this module we had to complete a podcast in groups of three. 

For me personally, I am not a massive fan of working in groups, as previous experience has meant people not pulling their weight, and still getting a similar mark to myself. However, working with the other two people went really well, and I felt that we worked well together as a team. 

As Galegher et al (2014) state, the term ‘working relationship’ is an interpersonal relationship, which is task-based, non-trivial and is of continuing duration. Gabarro (1978) did extensive research in to team work, and his ideas are still very much used today. Gabarro (1978) details how work relationships are very much like social ones, and develop overtime and they can vary in there stability, mutuality and efficiency.

I felt that the more time we spent together, the stronger our working relationship became. I have worked with members of my group before, but felt that this time working together there was a much stronger sense of teamwork and everyone played their part with more or less a fair share given to each member.
