Abstract
Introduction Students in higher education courses need to practice vital groupwork skills that are increasingly relevant in today's collaborative workplace, which often occurs through small group coursework. Statement of the Problem The process of forming small groups with students who are committed to the topic and goals is frequently problematic. Literature Review We review the literature on the advantages and disadvantages of common group formation strategies, such as self-assembly and professor assignment. Teaching Implications We discuss the use of a unique method of forming small groups in a university setting through a fun, interactive activity based on the classic “speed-dating” exercise. Conclusion We recommend that educators consider the use of a speed-interviewing group formation strategy to allow groups to form based on similar topic interests and work styles.
