While reading the article \u201c40 years of storming: a historical review of Tuckman\u2019s model of small group development\u201d I learned about the importance of Bruce W. Tuckman’s model. The model goes through five different stages and each one has a significant impact. In college, doing group work has been a big role in many of my classes. I have experienced all these stages while working in a group project in college whether it is forming all the way to adjourning. In one of my classes last semester we had a whole semester project that we were assigned to us at the beginning of the semester. The professor had chosen our designated groups, so we didn\u2019t know the types of people we would be working with. I remember once we got our assigned groups, I sent an email out to everyone and tried scheduling a date where we could all meet and start to form our project. That worked very well as every group member attended and we all got to meet each other and figure out our goals for the project. Another step that was seen a while in our project was the \u201cnorming\u201d. We were discussing how we want to assign our tasks and figure out who was responsible for completing what. This allowed us to stay organized and get everything we needed done in a timely manner. After learning about this model, I can now go about group projects by using these things, as they can help solve problems within a group. These stages showed how they have impacted various fields and how much the model has evolved throughout our lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
