Abstract: Group work is one of the essential components of learning.This study explores the learners' perceptions of group work based on Tuckman's Model.A quantitative survey was conducted with 255 undergraduate students from diverse disciplines.Using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire, learners answered four sections corresponding to each stage of the model which are forming, storming, norming and performing.The findings reveal that learners generally value clear procedure and leadership in group work, particularly in the early stages.Additionally, as challenges arise, learners make an attempt to overcome it as they progress through the stages.Overall, a moderate to strong correlation was found between the stages, reaffirming the relevance of the model in understanding group work.For future research, it is suggested to explore the stages of group work over a longer period of time and within a digital learning environment.
