The purpose of this study is to discuss various approaches to group work and the importance of different approaches in relation to group work in schools. The study also looks at the results of the children working in different groups and constellations.

This study is based on what previous research, literature and the tree teachers say about the subject group work and group divisions. Issues: Is there any kind of group work that always works? Does the structure of the tasks have any effect on the outcome? Is there any good reason to choose the teamwork approach that? The method I chose is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach to the analysis. Three teachers were interviewed; result is presented in themes and concludes with a brief summary. In the theory part is the writer and researcher Kjell Granström frequently referenced when he is an actual person in Sweden in the subject. Furthermore, educators Vygotsky and Gardner’s theories of how children learn and how teachers at school can work with these theories are also important for the study. The study findings demonstrate the importance of teacher's choice of work and an awareness of how different group classifications can affect students' work. This is consistent with previous research Granström and also Forslund Frykedal reached.
