Working in groups has become the most preferred strategy of teaching and learning due to its powerful impact in engaging students and providing them with opportunities to have meaningful collaborative learning experience through online and face to face learning. With regards to this, Tuckman’s Four Stages Model of Group Development (1965) is utilized to investigate the learners’ perception towards performing stage, forming stage, storming stage, and norming stage. This research is a quantitative study using survey methods conducted online and the sample was obtained from students of UiTM Cawangan Kelantan. The instrument of survey was divided into 5 main sections including demographic profile and 4 stages of Tuckman’s Model. A total of 52 responses were received and recorded. The findings reveal that each stage has a significant influence on a group's interaction. The study contributes to the literature on group work impacts towards learners’ interaction. This further emphasises the needs for educators to optimize group work in the classrooms for better students’ engagement and motivation in learning.
