Purpose: This study seeks insights into the engineering undergraduates' knowledge of problem-solving process, teamwork characteristics and communication skills. Design/methodology/approach: The data for the study were collected through consecutive sampling technique from 78 engineering undergraduates at the Birla Institute of Technology and…

Fostering intraprofessional collaboration (intraPC) between occupational therapy (OT) and occupational therapy assistant (OTA) students is an integral piece of occupational therapy education programs. The Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) even expanded upon intraPC standards in their 2023 standards version. Despite…

Within the healthcare system, identification and intervention for intimate partner violence (IPV) are critical, yet often hindered by siloed operations among healthcare workers. Effective interprofessional collaboration is pivotal for timely and appropriate interventions. This article describes an interprofessional educational simulation involving…

Medical simulation education allows trainees to work together in teams, and to practise assuming the roles of leader and followers, while completing real-world scenarios designed to develop the skills needed to be effective in clinical practice. Despite the importance of residents developing leadership skills to optimize performance and patient…

Results from a survey conducted by the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations Board of Educational Affairs are reported. A total of 227 psychology graduates from across Europe responded to an online survey. Participants were presented with a set of psychology subject-specific competencies and a set of general competencies and asked to…

Four institutions hypothesized that civic engagement in first-year courses reinforces career readiness by helping students think critically, communicate effectively, and work well with diversity. We measured teamwork skills, the ability to synthesize and apply different perspectives, and the ability to express, listen to, and adapt ideas based on…

Teamwork is essential for patient safety as highly functioning teams make fewer errors. In high acuity academic medical centers, care delivery is complex and ever-changing, creating a high-risk environment for safety concerns. These intricate settings demand a collaborative approach to care delivery, where structured methods of teamwork and…

To paraphrase John Tukey, the beauty of working with data is that you get to "play in everyone's backyard." A corollary to this statement is that working with data necessitates collaboration. Although students often learn technical workflows to wrangle and analyze data, these workflows may break down or require adjustment to accommodate…

Stakeholders agree that accounting graduates need excellent relational acumen (communication, leadership, people, relationship-building, teamwork, self-management, and emotional intelligence [EI] skills) to successfully navigate an increasingly multicultural and digitally impacted workplace. Prior research has mainly evaluated the effectiveness of…

This study aims to enhance teamwork skills among lower secondary school science students through a Learning Activity Package (LAP) using the design thinking process. The research evaluates the experiences of science teachers and students to identify areas for improvement in teamwork skills, which is achieved through interviews and observations in…

Building a more comprehensive understanding of gaming literacies, this article explores the kinds of literacy practices that emerge through participation and play within escape rooms. Based on a dataset of video recordings of participant interactions within an escape room, we perform side-by-side analyses of play based on two theoretical…

Engineering students are expected to develop their professional skills throughout the course of their degrees. Yet, there is no clear consensus among educators of which skills are being developed or how this is done effectively. This scoping review has been produced to draw together and disseminate information on effective techniques for…

Upon graduation from an undergraduate institution, engineering graduates are expected to have a baselevel skill in technical skills related to their discipline. Teaching technical skills comes naturally to engineering programs as the conceptual understanding of the material form the foundation of engineering ability. However, engineering graduates…

Student teams are routine in business education, yet instructors lack research-based strategies to promote personal learning in teams. Our study's purpose therefore is to investigate how a dual emphasis on social identity and individual autonomy in teams may enhance students' personal learning. In a study of 557 business undergrads in 215 teams,…

This study examines the presence of "Effective Communication" (EC) and "Teamwork/Cooperative Learning" (TW&CL) competencies in undergraduate university programmes using a blue entrepreneurship approach, within the framework of a social and sustainable economy. As seen in previous studies, these two competencies are highly…
