abstract |
Most research related to learning in groups focuses on the unit of the group and/or
its group members. However, students may benefit from crossing the boundaries of their
own group, as students in different groups may provide access to new, non-redundant
knowledge and opportunities for learning. Whether boundary crossing between groups
is beneficial or not for learning and academic performance has received limited conceptual
and empirical attention. Using SNA and SEM modelling, we contrasted pre-post network
developments amongst 683 students (132 groups) across four modules at a UK business
school. We examined whether it is better for students to invest in social relations
in groups to learn and enhance academic performance, or if it is better to (continue
to) invest in social relations outside groups. Our findings indicated that students
seemed to learn more from learning relations outside their group than from their own
group members. Students with more inter-group relative to intra-group learning relations
performed better on module assessments and throughout the academic year than students
with more intra-group learning relations. Boundary crossing and inter-group learning
deserves more empirical attention and experimentation on how to balance boundary crossing
and effective group learning strategies. |
