This article reports results of a study that tracked growth factors in experiential training groups through Tuckman’s conceptual framework of group development using Critical Incidents methodology and quantitative description. We sought to explore whether different growth factors varied in salience over the course of each of the groups’ life and over time. Four group facilitators completed a total of 40 copies of the Group Development Checklist over the course of one academic semester. Results showed that growth factors varied across stages of group development and over time, offering partial support to Tuckman’s model. We discuss several implications for training and future research on growth factors in experiential groups, as well as limitations of the study.

通过 Tuckman 的概念模型跟踪体验式培训组中的增长因素

本文报告了一项研究的结果，该研究通过 Tuckman 的团队发展概念框架使用关键事件方法和定量描述来跟踪体验式培训组中的增长因素。我们试图探索不同的增长因素是否在每个群体的生活过程中和随着时间的推移而显着不同。四位小组辅导员在一个学期内完成了总共 40 份小组发展检查表。结果表明，增长因素在团队发展的各个阶段和时间上各不相同，为塔克曼的模型提供了部分支持。我们讨论了对经验组中生长因子的培训和未来研究的几个影响，以及研究的局限性。
