U-Blog 2

I found that in the Kert Luwin's research on groups, experiential learning and action research to be quit interesting. I'm a big believer in making a group work the best with each other. He did research on the "T" groups, facilitation and experience. While at the Connecticut State Interracial Commission, he, along with others, developed and designed and implemented and 2 week training program that encouraged groups to discuss and make decisions. In this meeting they wanted everyone involved, including the staff, to sit down and talk as peers. The trainer and researchers collected details and found that most people are able to learn and bounce ideas off each other when this type of training occurred. This research Kert Luwin did was very interesting. The link to this material is http://www.infed.org/thinkers/et-lewin.htm.
