The investigation found four student interaction types during student small groups' formation: emotional, business, emotional-business creative, and indifferent. The student interaction types were determined using two criteria - the emotional appeal and project topic's cognitive attraction. It is concluded that the project problem and topic interesting to a group of students, and uniting them into a project group positively affects the student project groups' work being a factor that promotes team cohesion and project groups' performance. Therefore, to make efficient small student project groups it is advisable to form the groups based on the group members' interests and relevant social and psychological characteristics and communication skills developed in special trainings.ukgroup projectinginteractioneffectivenesssmall groupstudentsArticle378.091.3:159.9.072.43:316.023.4
