Current demands to increase the number of student places without a commensurate increase in resources have forced academics to seek ways of becoming more 'efficient'. Increasingly, tutorless seminar groups are seen as a way of doing this. Group size has been shown, in other contexts, to affect individual participation. One hundred and nine male mature students in small seminar group sizes of 3 were compared to those in larger groups of approximately 6. Observational measures of behaviour were made and all students completed a questionnaire. It was found that large groups were more negative, felt less satisfied and were less involved and that they had less influence on the discussion than the small groups. It is suggested that the results imply being a member of a larger seminar group is a less satisfactory experience for a student than being a member of a small group. |
