Abstract :
This paper investigates the effect of group work with the assumption of three motivators to make friends. Obeying the assumption we proposed twelve variation of methods for grouping students. The effects are evaluated by some measures from social network analysis and by the changes of real friendship networks, which are observed by a friendship prediction method. The proposed methods brought new friendship among students to classes and made rearrange of community structure.
