Bruce Tuckman, Group Communication
Bruce Tuckman- Group communication
A group is formed of three or more members. Who come together to discuss for a joint aim of a topic. There are five stages which are Forming, storming, norming, performing, mourning.
We formed a group in our class in which we were set a task to organise a day trip. We followed the Bruce Tuckman theory of group communication before we was aware of the theory. We discovered we followed the theory step by step and we also used the communication cycle. However, not all of us had the skills to be able to communicate efficiently.
We did a role play in class; our aim was to plan a trip for nursery school children. When we formed our group, some people were quiet and didn’t feel comfortable and felt self conscious. Some members were sat distancing their way from the group and showing that they didn’t want to be apart by showing negative body language such as crossing their arms. This is called the Forming stage.
After a while the confident members of the group started to become more comfortable and started to shout out their ideas; however some members of the group were still quiet and didn’t want to join in. This stage was noisy and the leader felt challenged because other members had shouted and presented their ideas, and took over their role. This is the Storming stage.
After that stage, the group started to settle down and become more organised with the ideas and it became clear what was expected. The group started to work together bringing their ideas together, the less confident ones also joined in and brought their ideas across. This stage is called the Norming stage.
After that stage, the members in our group accepted other member’s strengths and weaknesses. The group worked together with everyone’s ideas resulting in a highly productive stage which is the Performing stage.
The members in our group started to go off the task due to the task being completed and we wanted to carry on and chat between one another and
