Abstract

Group work is one of the teaching organizational forms used in school practice and is an integral part of project-based learning. In this article we present the difficulties of group work perceived by pupils, which were revealed in research on project based learning and its implementation in school practice.

A semi-structured interview was chosen as a research method. The survey was attended by 50 pupils from 3 regions of the Czech Republic.

Difficulties during group work, that pupils accented, were e.g. unequal workload of group members, disciplinary problems, giving work as a homework instead of solving them at school. The paper presents possibilities of elimination of these shortcomings.
