The purpose of this paper is to explore how university students can develop knowledge in small task-based groups. We take the undergraduate students from different major into several learning group in our public selective course, for each group there is a specific project according to their major and knowledge. The findings show that university students working together in small groups can adopt one of three major learning patterns: individual-led, group-led or individual-group hybrid-led. Moreover, the results indicate that the group-led framework seems to create a supportive environment for knowledge building. Nevertheless, university students showed a need for teacher support to enable them to focus on criterion-referenced reflection to regulate their learning.
