Group Processes in Higher Education: The Uses of Theory.

Knights, Ben

Studies in Higher Education, v20 n2 p135-46 Jun 1995

Examination of the relationship between academic learning and group relations suggests that the study of each can inform the other. A partnership between the study of group relations and the study of literary theory could give new insights into teaching and learning as discursive practices, power relations in the college classroom, and sources of academic success and failure.
