What Is Formal And Informal Groups?

There are a number of different groups, two of which are informal and formal groups.  An informal group is a great option that has a shorter lifetime, which ranges from a matter of minutes to the whole of the time within the class. They’re generally created on a whim, too, making them less structured and without a specific format. Informal groups might have new group members within them every day, and can be used during lectures, to help break the content of the session down into more accessible chunks.

Formal groups, however, are a little different. These kinds of group can have a lifespan of several days or weeks, and will obviously require much more planning, in terms of the context, and the people within the group. They will also come with a more specific purpose for learning, and will have the same people working within the group throughout its time of use.

In the collegiate world, groups are able to provide an academic framework for people to learn, gain experience and make use of a conduit for achieving even more. These groups are able to provide a great support network, too.

Outside of the world of academia, however, groups are there to provide a social structure that is able to enhance lifestyles, and help with problems and tragedies. They also create a sense of community, and provide religious contexts and perspectives to parts of peoples’ lives. If you are in an educational institution which uses this approach to educational development, make sure you get involved today!
