undervisningsgrupp

Undervisningsgrupp is a term used in some Scandinavian education systems to describe a small group of students who receive instruction together for part of the school day. The group is formed to enable targeted teaching, differentiation, or collaborative learning within a larger class. Typical configurations involve a small number of students and may focus on a specific subject, language support, or particular learning needs.

The group is typically led by a teacher or teaching assistant and scheduled as a separate block within the timetable or as a regular part of the daily plan. Composition can be based on subject, level, or individual needs, and groups may be reorganized as students progress.

Contexts include primary and secondary education, inclusive education, special education, and language development programs. It is used to provide remedial instruction, enrichment, or peer-assisted learning and to promote active participation in a small-group setting.

Activities often emphasize guided practice, targeted instruction, collaborative tasks, and regular assessment of progress toward curriculum goals. The small size allows more individualized feedback and instructional adjustments.

Variations in terminology and practice exist across countries and schools. In some contexts the term corresponds to small-group instruction or group-based support, with local differences in how groups are formed, how long they meet, and how progress is measured.
