Student perceptions of group dynamics course effectiveness

Abstract

Course effectiveness of Group Dynamics was evaluated by comparing the pre-course question results of students with the post-course questionnaire of the students’ perceptions of drinking and driving as social norm behaviors. A shift in the perceptions of OWI behavior as social norm is evident by the post-course questionnaire. The individual perception of drinking and driving as a socially acceptable behavior was examined in the student population of Group Dynamics Course at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. Statistical significant change in survey results in pre-course and post-course questionnaires indicates a change in OWI perceptions which supports the effectiveness of the Group Dynamics Course.
