Complementary problem
— each individual in the group 
does what s / he is best at, the sum of each individual part 
is the group”s end product. This problem type is devisable 
and optimizing. An example of this type of problem could be 
writing an anthology, each member does his or her part these 
are then added together to for the end product

aware of what is expected of them when working in groups. 
Studies have shown that students who are taught how to work 
in groups are more likely to get better results. Hammar Chirac 
and Hempel discuss different aspects that are important for 
the group members to be aware of and able to perform to be 
successful.
To improve their group work students should know:
How to take notes;
How to divide responsibilities;
How to break a problem into smaller parts;
How to listen actively;
Cooperation strategies;
How to formulate ideas;
How to stand for your opinion;
How to make democratic decisions;
And how to give constructive criticism;
Using group work puts a lot of demands on both students 
and teachers. Students need to learn how to work in groups 
and teachers need the knowledge to know what material is 
going to stimulate the students to work together.
Results from survey
As the survey consists of open-ended questions the 
answers to each question will not be explained individually. 
The answers have been divided into three sections; what kind 
of teacher they are, how often and why the teachers use 
group work, and how they use it in their lessons. The last 
two questions in the survey were only answer by one teacher 
and have only been considered during the interview.
