Abstract
There is a large body of education literature that discusses group work and feedback in a pedagogical sense. This is predominantly a consequence of a high percent of the literature being substantially social constructivist driven.

This short paper explored feedback and group work in a secondary setting using the author’s teaching experience as reference points throughout. More specifically, the paper highlighted strategies such as Kagan have become very popular in mainstream education over the last 5 years. Upon evaluating Kagan strategies, it was discovered that there was a need for pre-teaching of the strategies for pupils.
