33. GOAL:
At the end of assigned activity, the students must display a
type of interdependence among teammates and
achieve all the learning goals agreed upon the start of
session.
52. TEAM BUILDING
The purpose of this structure is to get
acquainted with the rest of the group, to
have team identity and to build mutual
support. Thus, recognizing and valuing
individual differences to develop synergy
and eventually accomplish a task.
54. MASTERY
In this structure, it can effectively produce
academic content/skill mastery. This is a
helpful way to improve
knowledge, comprehension and other
mastery skills. Also, to acquire and
develop more concepts and aid thinking
skills.
56. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

focuses on developing creative answers or
products setting unique and low-consensus
answers.
