Organizational Change Management

Group Dynamics and Change

• Shared information about the need for change, plans, and consequences is crucial for group members to make changes happen.

Characteristics of Group Dynamics

• Groups exist wherever individuals interact, and members continuously adjust their relationships with each other.
• Group dynamics involve interaction, tension, attraction, and repulsion among members, leading to a constant process of restructuring and readjusting relationships.

Importance of Intergroup Relations and Organization

• Intergroup relations, group organization, and member participation are essential for a group's effectiveness.
• Groups survive by establishing a functional hierarchy and facilitating action towards a goal.

Socio-Cultural Foundation of Curriculum

• Society and culture significantly influence the formation of curriculum, as they created schooling to safeguard their cultural heritage and survival.
• Social and national stimulations impact curriculum design, and curriculum developers are deeply affected by socio-cultural factors.

Roles of Individuals within the Classroom
