Group learning can be very frustrating? This can happen for a variety of reasons that could come from how the group was structured, how group members behaved, or how the group’s progress towards its goal was monitored. When cooperative learning is well-designed it minimizes opportunities for students and instructors to experience these types of frustrations.
