Course Descriptions

The course in Group Dynamics introduces the student to the stages and processes of groups including the principles of group interaction which will address techniques, leadership and roles. These concepts will be applied as part of an experiential learning process with the student as participants in various group exercises. The object is learning while participating. The student will understand group dynamics within the processes of group development: this includes an assessment or group building phase, the initial phase of group development, the working and transition phases, the final or closure phase. Again, this is a course that incorporates both theoretical and experiential phases of group dynamics. The course does not have an orientation to counselling or industrial/personnel management, the course content and material is developed to provide the student with an understanding of group processes, goals, norms and roles, communication, leadership and cooperation.
