development and assessment of team skills.\u00a0 This will help them understand the relevance and function of team projects, activities or tasks in the course; they will also see the advantages of team work, and be clear as to how team work contributes to achieving the course objectives.<\/p><p>The closer team tasks resemble authentic tasks, the stronger student motivation will be.\u00a0 Help students identify the skills needed in your field of study to effectively work as a team \u2013 what specific communication, negotiation, conflict management, interpersonal and collaborative skills are essential and desirable?<\/p><p>Here are a few ways to help students understand why team skills are important in your field:<\/p><ul><li>Emphasize how important team work is in a professional

teams<\/li><li>Outline some of the potential difficulties associated with team work to give them a realistic view and prepare them for challenges<\/li><li>Provide students with a handout about the

particular field of study might differ from doing so in another context or discipline?<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><h4><u>Provide a context for team work<\/u><\/h4><p>Students may be confused about what is expected of them in teams and what team work is all about.\u00a0 Point out that this is normal at the beginning of team project, that it is an evolving process.\u00a0 Reassure them by letting them know they will have opportunity in class to define and clarify the team project, based on the project\/activity outline you provide, and to ask questions about any aspects of the project they don\u2019t understand.<\/p><p>Clearly define the purpose of the team project.\u00a0 In class, take time to provide detailed and clear instructions to all teams, and explain how you will interact with and monitor teams (e.g., whether you will circulate among the teams, sit in on team meetings, help teams deal with difficult issues, provide resources).<\/p><p>Also consider whether you will provide guidelines for how teams operate or for them to negotiate the ground rules (see First Meetings).\u00a0 Clarify how much of the project you expect to be completed in and outside class time, how long you expect it to take, how students will be assigned to teams, how they should allocate roles and organize meetings.\u00a0 Also communicate the details of relevant learning outcomes and the assessment involved.<\/p><h4><u>Make learning outcomes and assessment criteria clear<\/u><\/h4><p>Explain to students the purpose and intended learning outcomes of team projects.\u00a0 Highlight the particular skills involved, such as negotiation, communication and interpersonal skills.\u00a0 Below is an example of some learning outcomes related to developing students\u2019 team skills.<\/p><p>\u201cAt the end of this course you will be able to:<\/p><p>* articulate the factors that contribute to a successful team<\/p><p>* identify and establish team roles and responsibilities for a given project<\/p><p>* demonstrate project management skills such as the creation of timelines and action plans<\/p><p>* implement strategies for dealing with conflict within teams<\/p><p>* work effectively in a team and prepare a written report on a given topic<\/p><p>* develop strategies for working effectively in a multidisciplinary team<\/p><p>* demonstrate an understanding of the structure of meetings (e.g., agendas)<\/p><p>* provide constructive feedback to peers on their contribution to a team project<\/p><p>* demonstrate interpersonal and reflective learning skills<\/p><p>* reflect on the progress of team skills and identify areas for improvement.\u201d<\/p><p>In addition to making learning objectives clear to students, also make assessment criteria clear.\u00a0 Assessment criteria for team work might include, for example:<\/p><ul><li>regular attendance at team meetings<\/li><li>equity of contribution<\/li><li>evidence of collaborative behavior<\/li><li>appropriate time and task management<\/li><li>application of creative problem solving<\/li><li>an appropriate level of engagement with the task<\/li><li>evidence of capacity to listen<\/li><li>responsiveness to feedback\/criticism<\/li><\/ul><p>(Adapted from R. James, C. McInnis and M. Devlin (2002),\u00a0<em>Assessing Learning in Australian Universities.<\/em>\u00a0Centre for the Study of Higher Education, University of Melbourne.)<\/p><p>Students need to be clear about how activities and projects will be assessed. For example, let students know what weightings will be given to team processes and products, what the assessment criteria are for both team process and team product, and how individual and interactive tasks will be assessed. If you choose to incorporate peer assessment, or to assess learning journals or other reflective pieces of writing, provide students with clear guidelines.<\/p><h4><u>Help students distinguish between cooperation and collaboration<\/u><\/h4><p>Part of making expectations clear to students involves helping them distinguish between cooperation and collaboration, and determine which is required in the team project that you set for them. Generally speaking,\u00a0<em>cooperative<\/em>\u00a0tasks involve each member of a team producing a separate part of a whole task or project. This may require students to balance the structure and content of various components, coordinate completion times or compile a presentation or written report; however, it requires a relatively low level of\u00a0<em>collaboration,<\/em>\u00a0i.e. participation in team processes. In more collaborative tasks and projects the final product represents the work of the team as a whole.<\/p><p>Students who have only experienced working cooperatively (rather than collaboratively) with peers may not understand why it is important to practice skills such as understanding personality differences, reflective listening, non-defensive communication, emotion skills and conflict management.\u00a0<\/p><p>Discussing the assessment criteria for a given project helps students to distinguish between cooperative and collaborative learning and to understand the particular skills and processes valued in both forms of work.
