OBJECTIVES
Theres pros and cons working individually
or grouping. What are the factors and effect
that may contributed in choosing between
working individually and grouping?
The following research objectives were
developed for this research :
1. To identify the number of students involve
individual or group work in their final year
project.
2. To determine the reason of selecting
individual
and group work.
3. To analyze kinds of project being carried out.

LIMITATION OF STUDY
The research was limited in several ways. They
are :
This study may not able to represent whole
population because it is limits by its small
amount UTHM population as the selected
respondents will only be 3rd and 4th year
students who are having their final year project.
Respondent might giving fault feedback due to
their unserious commitment to our survey.

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

FIRST FINDINGS : Number of students involve

individual or group work in their final year project.

Second
Findings

DISCUSSIONS
Based on the finding result, individual
work is more favourable.
1. Prove their abilities to handle, manage,
implement and analyse project.
2. Responsibilities from members were
difficult to achieve.
3. Better decision making.
4. Quality outcome from individual work
versus group work were not much
different.

CONCLUSIONS
1. This study has shown that most of the final year UTHM
students either diploma or degree were agree that
individual work was suitable for final year project.
2. Most of the group's work is not as effective as if the
group in question, they couldnt achieve their success.
3. Group work or individual work, each has its
advantages and disadvantages, so it always depends
on the individual and his choice if it is discussed.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations Based on Findings
1. Even if individual work is better, it might be
good if students are given choices whether to
implement their final year project in group or
individually depends on the type of project
they chose.
2. Students should be involved in their own
assessment in order to become reflective
practitioners.
3. Students are allowed to choose the task
based on duration given to complete the task.

Recommendations for Future Research

1) Further research could also explore that each
members contribution should be assessed
fairly so that each members will do their
share perfectly.
2) Since the study had only focused in
University Tun Hussein Onn students, it is
recommended that further studies be carried
out on students from other universities to see
whether there are any similarities in the
findings.
3) Lastly, research including students from all
year groups would be beneficial for
determining if individual or group work is
better in doing project work .
