Invitation to participate in survey: Managing and Facilitating Teamwork in Higher Education

Our research investigates strategies to support effective group and teamwork in Higher Education to increase the use of active and collaborative learning methods. Based on previous studies and a literature review, we found that negative team or group dynamics can be a major obstacle in active collaborative learning. The survey is designed to identify good practice of effective teamwork based on teaching strategies and interventions aligned with Tuckman’s four stages of teamwork (Tuckman, 1965)*.
 
This survey is part of the Office for Students funded project “Scaling Up Active Collaborative Learning for student success” and the results will be shared as open educational resources.
