Morphology
The meaning of 'group participation' is directly derived from combining 'group' (a number of people seen as one unit) with 'participation' (involvement in an activity), yielding 'participation by/within a group.' This compositional, cross-linguistically common structure follows regular English noun-noun/adj-noun semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Group participation is like a picture of a group sitting in a circle, each person putting a hand in the middle and pushing together. That shows what participation is—everyone 'taking part'—so the phrase means all members join in.
