Teaching Group Work from an Ecological Perspective

Conyne, Robert K.; Bemak, Fred

Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v29 n1 p7-18 Mar 2004

We argue in this article that group work is a distinct methodology that rests upon a unique conceptual base. We suggest that an ecological perspective fits group work especially well, since it encompasses a comprehensive, interdependent, and contextual orientation. Teaching strategies addressing Best Practices in Group Work (ASGW, 1998) are described from this ecological perspective.
