Self-motivation and perseverance are imperative in a team setting. Teamwork, as the name suggests, is an activity in a team. All work should be exhibited in a team. Each individual represents the group.
Both self-motivation and perseverance will promote progress. Chloe and I were responsible for making a poster. However, it was done on my computer and we had not finished before Friday. There was still a question left which is needed to be answered at the weekend. I had asked my group mates to finish the question as soon as possible. On Friday night, Kate and Chloe sent the link of reflection on Action Day 2 and the answer to that question to me. I thought I could not drag our group down, so I accomplished the reflection and answered the question as soon as possible. However, one of my group mates sent the answer until Saturday midnight which influenced the progress of the poster. Responsibility increases my self-motivation and keeps my perseverance. Because of responsibility, all of us persist in the experiment from the beginning to the end. I always believe that we can accomplish it which might help build my perseverance.
All adults emphasize that teamwork and collaboration skills are significant in the future, especially when we start to work. Teamwork and collaboration are imperative to all individuals. Without collaboration, I might not finish all experiment, even poster, and video in only 4 days. For example, on the first Action Day, we faced some problems. It is almost impossible to squeeze an apple evenly. There will be only a few drops of apple juice. Be a team, we have more ideas and solutions. By discussion, we eventually found an appropriate means to get apple juice. We determined to use blender by mixing apple and water in one to one ratio. Teamwork and collaboration help people to solve problems more quickly. However, there might be problems when doing teamwork. There might be quarrels. During the experiment, when we decided whether to control the mass of apple or control the mass of water. However, one of my group mates decided to control the mass of apple. According to abstraction, it is easier to control the water. Eventually, I illustrate my method by computational thinking. Nevertheless, well collaboration can urge the progress of the project.
Writing reflection made me recall the memory of what we have done the whole day. Reflecting encourages people to realize their problems which could help people to improve next time. For example, our group’s final video was not exported before the presentation. Actually, three of us were responsible for either poster or video, but one group mate did not do anything without saying any explanation. It might be one of the factors why we did not export the final video successfully. Work should be divided equally when doing teamwork. When there was a problem, we should not blame one student. All of us should be responsible for the mistake or the problem.
In conclusion, the group 4 project was a treasurable memory in my life. This might be the only opportunity that I could work with students of different subjects. Even though there were some regrets, I will remember the experience forever and remember the lessons I learned during the project.
