PURPOSE Considers the social relationships among students and using them to promote learning. enjoyment of team sports has led some educators to wonder how teams can be used in classrooms to motivate students in their search for knowledge. The success of multidisciplinary project teams in scientific research has led others to consider the benefits of groups in which students of different talents and abilities work together productively. Group methods are showing business and industry new ways to increase productivity and worker satisfaction. The evolving theories of human resource management and social psychology have demonstrated the importance of social factors in adapting to a rapidly changing society. 13. Gioko D. Mgt.
