The purpose of this study was to determine what roles develop in an adventure programming context, how these roles are negotiated among the group, and what the implications of this process are for group functioning and task performance? Several scholars have identified the need to understand groups from smaller components that make up group development and group dynamics to better understand how educational outcomes are achieved (Beames, 2004; Ewert & McAvoy, 2009; McKenzie, 2000; Sibthrop, Paisley, & Gookin, 2007). A qualitative case study method was used by the researcher to collect data. In reporting the results of this study, two categories of roles emerged, formal and informal roles (Ang & Zaphiris, 2012; Benne & Sheats, 1948; Dexel et al., 2010; Kramer, 2002; Williams, Morgan, & Cameron, 2011). The study provides an interpretation of the data through the bona fide group perspective (Putnam and Stohl, 1990).
