Maria,

Nice work sharing how you would apply the collaboration model to this scenario. You incorporated the asking questions aspect well in your response. This week we read about the 3-2-1 approach that could be used in your scenario or even in personal conflicts as well. Share with us your thoughts on this approach and how it could help to resolve conflicts.

For this discussion, I chose to review the conflict scenario from Tina Chavez’s GSE DP. Specifically, I chose to focus on conflict scenario one. In this scenario, a group of four students are assigned a project that has to be completed by everyone. About one week into the project, the group is told that another student has been added to the group. The new student states that he can improve the project, but all original group members believe that their work is already good enough. Since everyone has to participate the new student is given a new task, but the new student does not want to do the task and leaves. 

In this scenario, it would be appropriate to use conflict resolution model. I would use the Triangle of Satisfaction Model. The Triangle of Satisfaction Model is used to examine interests as they fundamental to the field of conflict resolution. When this conflict resolution model is used, it is used to examine the parties’s wants, needs, and concerns, or interests. It would be appropriate for each student’s interests to be examined. In this case, their common interest is to earn a good grade on the project. The new student wants to participate as well. This is one of the interests that he has, so common ground should be found to ensure everyone participates. If I were in the group I would invite the new student to participate and contribute ideas.
