pienryhmäprojekti

Pienryhmäprojekti is a Finnish term that translates to "small group project." It refers to an educational methodology where a group of students, typically ranging from three to five individuals, collaborates on a specific task or project. The primary objective of a pienryhmäprojekti is to foster teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills among students.

These projects are commonly implemented across various educational levels, from primary schools to universities. The scope of a pienryhmäprojekti can vary significantly, encompassing tasks such as research papers, presentations, creative works, or the development of a product or service. The small group size is intended to ensure that each member has an opportunity to contribute actively and to facilitate more effective interaction and shared responsibility.

During a pienryhmäprojekti, students are expected to divide labor, share knowledge, negotiate ideas, and collectively work towards a common goal. Teachers often act as facilitators, providing guidance and feedback rather than direct instruction. Assessment in pienryhmäprojekti can include evaluating the final product, the process of collaboration, and individual contributions. The approach is designed to mirror real-world collaborative work environments and to enhance learning through active participation and peer learning.
