Collective efficacy, the belief about group ability to accomplish common task, has been important construct influencing group behavior. Based on this construct, the purpose to this present study was to examine the group including preservice science teachers in terms of collective efficacy. The participants were four junior preservice science teachers who worked in the same group in science method course. This course was selected as the context of this study. In this course, new science teaching methods were introduced each week and it was asked to prepare common lesson plans as a group related to these teaching methods. As a case study, this group was investigated in the present study. Observation, video records, and personal interviews were used to collect data. After analysis, it was founded that collective efficacy was developed in the group, and there were four factors influencing the formation of collective efficacy, namely collaborative work, shared purpose, attitude towards group work, and group cohesion. Based on these findings, it was suggested that science teacher educators took into consideration these four factors in their students’ group work to help them form collective efficacy.

An Experimental investigation of change blindness by group eye tracking paradigm Göl, Aysel Yasemin; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018) The group effect refers to a decline in vigilance when an individual is in a social, group setting. Due to a diluted risk of being preyed upon and a higher number of group members that can detect a predator, members are less alert when they are in a group. The present study investigates if such an effect can be observed in human participants in a simple change detection task by employing group eye tracking (GET) paradigm. For this end, the visual phenomenon of change blindness is explored. In a within-subje...
Interaction analysis of dual interaction CSCL environments Çakır, Murat Perit; Stahl, Gerry (null; 2009-06-08) In order to collaborate effectively in group discourse on a topic like mathematical patterns, group participants must organize their activities so that they have a shared understanding of the significance of their utterances, inscriptions and behaviors—adequate for sustaining productive interaction. The need for participants to coordinate their actions becomes particularly salient in dual-interaction environments, where, e.g., chat postings and graphical drawings must work together; analysts of such interac...

When do drivers conform? When do they deviate? Demir, Sila; DEMİR, BAŞAR; Özkan, Türker (Elsevier BV, 2018-04-01) Traditional and dominant social influence strategies based on group research aim to motivate people towards compliance with the group norm for behaviours in general and in traffic in particular. Yet, deviance and dissent have the potential to motivate people towards action against group norm, as well. The deviance regulation theory (DRT) proposes that an individual might choose to deviate from the group norm to express his/her uniqueness. In addition, according to the normative conflict model, an individual...
