A. QUESTIONS Question 1 1.1. In your view, do you think Anna’s group is a
formed group? motivate your answer. (02)
1.1. Is Anna’s group a formed group? Motivate your answer. (2 marks)
A formed group generally refers to a group that has been intentionally brought together with a
specific goal or purpose in mind. The group members typically share roles, norms, and have an
understanding of their objectives. A formed group is distinct from a temporary or ad-hoc
group, which may form spontaneously without clear structure or long-term goals.
To determine if Anna’s group is a formed group, we can consider the following:
1. Purpose and Objective: Did Anna’s group come together with a clear, defined purpose?
If the group was created for a specific reason, such as addressing social issues in the
context of wellbeing, this would suggest that it is a formed group.
2. Roles and Responsibilities: Do the members of the group have distinct roles and
responsibilities? A formed group usually has structure, and members understand their
duties, either formally or informally.
3. Group Dynamics: Is there evidence that the group has worked together over time, or are
they still in the early stages of group formation? Formed groups often have a certain
level of cohesion and teamwork.
Example Answer:
If Anna’s group was created for a particular educational purpose, such as discussing and tackling
social issues related to wellbeing, and the members are actively participating with clear goals and
roles, it can be considered a formed group. The motivation for this answer would be based on
the group's intentional formation to address specific issues with defined roles.
1.1 In your view, do you think Anna’s group is a formed group? Motivate your
answer. (02)
,Yes, Anna’s group is a formed group.
This is because the group was intentionally created with a specific purpose — to help students
discuss and address social issues affecting their wellbeing. Anna, as the facilitator, guides
structured sessions with clear objectives, which is characteristic of a formed group rather than a
naturally occurring or spontaneous one.
1.1. In your view, do you think Anna’s group is a formed group? Motivate your answer. (2
marks)
Yes, Anna’s group is a formed group because it was intentionally created by the teacher to
achieve a specific educational goal — helping students address and reflect on social issues.
Formed groups are typically planned, with assigned roles and structured activities. In this case,
Anna’s group members were selected or organized by the teacher, given a clear task, and
expected to collaborate, which aligns with the definition of a formed group as opposed to a
naturally occurring or spontaneous group.
1.2. Based on the video, identify the type of group facilitated by Anna.
Motivate your answer. (02)
To answer Question 1.2, we need to identify the type of group facilitated by Anna, based on the
video “Teaching Wellbeing: Helping Students Tackle Social Issues”.
1.2. Identify the type of group facilitated by Anna. Motivate your answer. (2

Common Types of Groups in Educational Contexts:
1. Task-Oriented Group:

problems or completing projects.

issue.
2. Support Group:
, o Primarily focuses on providing emotional or social support for group members.
o These groups may aim to address personal or emotional challenges, fostering a
sense of understanding and belonging.
3. Learning Group:

specific topic.
o The members of the group collaborate to understand, analyze, and reflect on
educational content, often with the help of a facilitator.
4. Discussion Group:
o A group formed to discuss a specific issue, often with a focus on understanding
different perspectives or brainstorming solutions.
o The goal is typically to foster meaningful conversations around a specific topic.
Motivating the Answer:
You can identify the type of group Anna is facilitating based on the primary goal and the nature
of the activities in the video. Here’s how you can approach your answer:
If Anna’s group is focused on tackling specific social issues related to wellbeing,
with the intention to solve problems or generate ideas (e.g., students discussing how to
handle stress or mental health), it could be a task-oriented group.
If the group is focused on discussing and learning about social issues to understand
them better, with less emphasis on achieving a concrete outcome, it may be more of a
discussion group or learning group.
If the group is centered around providing support and helping students manage
personal challenges, it would be a support group.
Example Answer:
If Anna’s group is focused on discussing and addressing social issues related to wellbeing
(such as mental health or social challenges students may face), it is likely a discussion group.
The motivation for this answer would be based on the fact that the group’s purpose seems to be
centered on discussing these issues openly and sharing perspectives, without necessarily
aiming to complete a task or project.
1.2 Based on the video, identify the type of group facilitated by Anna. Motivate
your answer. (02)
Anna facilitates an educational and developmental group.
This is because the group’s main focus is to help students learn about and reflect on social
issues affecting their wellbeing, such as bullying, inequality, and emotional health. Through
