Abstract:
This action research aimed to encourage students during collaborative tasks to work effectively and avert free-riding. The researchers gathered the data of the fourteen group leaders through semi-structured interviews. The said interviews were all conducted online and established decorum. The results showed that the participants of this research label collaborative works as a more manageable task if and only if the members are all participative, yet even tougher with the presence of free-riders. Moreover, results also showed all sorts of challenges leaders encounter whenever collaborative tasks are on hand. The group leaders' plights were lessened with the assistance of the intervention-The Peer-Tracking Technique. The researchers came up with this concept to alleviate group work and improve performance for each team member. This technique aided leaders in communicating, tracking, and supporting each member's tasks for the betterment of the group and their output. The intervention had made an influential aspect for classroom management-allowing every student to be positively interdependent with each other.
