Group Work: Theories, Approaches and Models
Question 1
1.1 In your view, do you think Anna’s group is a formed group? Motivate your
answer.
Yes, I do think Anna’s group is a formed group. This is because the participants seem to
have come together with a shared purpose, which is to tackle a specific social issue.
They have a clear sense of structure and roles, which is a key sign of a formed group. A
formed group often starts with intentional creation, unlike an informal group that forms
naturally. Anna’s role as a facilitator also supports the idea that this is a structured,
organized group.
1.2 Based on the video, identify the type of group facilitated by Anna. Motivate
your answer.
Anna’s group appears to be a support group. This type of group is designed to help
individuals with similar concerns come together to share experiences, offer each other
support, and learn from each other’s insights. In the video, we see members discussing
and reflecting on social issues they face, which aligns with the idea of a group that
supports one another through shared understanding and guidance.
1.3 Based on your above answer, identify and explain five advantages of Anna’s
group.
1. Shared Experiences
