There are many important and interesting academic competitions that attract an increasing number of students. However, traditional student team building methods usually have strong randomness or involve only some first-class students. To choose more suitable students to compose a team and improve students' abilities overall, a competition-oriented…

This article seeks to contribute to the reflection around the training of future designers regarding teamwork. Collaboration, teamwork and negotiations are common everyday interactions that are now known to contribute positively to the design process. This article builds on a theoretical model that was initially proposed as a Ph.D. thesis…

This study provides insight into the role of expertise in the process of team creativity. Existing process models, that is, the random variation model and the creative synthesis model, either fail to treat team as an independent creative entity or neglect the differentiation in the voice of individual members in team creative process. In contrast,…

Universities in South Africa are confronted with student unrest, which has hindered the effective university education process. They have faced various shortages of academic activities and teaching and learning because of protests and subsequent management responses that culminated in the closures of universities at most times. Student unrest has…

Working in groups is an important collaboration activity in the educational context, where a variety of factors can influence the prediction of the teams' performance. In the pertinent bibliography, several machine learning models are available for delivering predictions. In this sense, the main goal of the current research is to assess 28…

Concerns about the state of the teacher workforce are ever-increasing: the proportion of teachers who would recommend teaching continues to fall, as does interest in the profession among current students. Given these stark realities, many school systems are fundamentally redesigning teachers' roles in an attempt to make the job more attractive and…

Among the basic medical sciences, anatomy and physiology (anatomy & physiology) is a fundamental subject for students majoring in nursing. Due to its diversity and difficulty, nursing students experience stress when studying it. Previous graduates generally presented lower achievements in anatomy & physiology than in other nursing-related…

Drawing upon the social network theory and social cognitive theory, this research proposes a model that assesses team performance from the mediating aspect of knowledge application, which represents a team's learning process whereby an effective retrieval mechanism enables the team to access knowledge. In the model, team performance relates to…

Existing literature points to skilled facilitation as a key factor in enabling a team's success in the context of inquiry-based reform. There is little understanding, however, of "how" precisely facilitators make the needed difference. This study analyzes the moves of expert facilitators in a team-based reform found to be successful…

The practice problem for this DNP project was the lack of confidence of eight nurse managers at the project site in implementing alternative staffing models to meet increased inpatient care demands during times of patient surges. The purpose of this DNP project was to provide an education module to nurse managers at the project site to enhance…

For effective teamwork, especially in demanding learning situations like a hackathon, coordination is crucial as it contributes to mutual trust and shared mental models of team members. However, teams experience challenges that mar team coordination. Research has shown that interpersonal skills such as socially-shared emotion regulation (SSER) can…

This article examines the relationship between emotional intelligence and ethical leadership competencies among university students. The research hypothesis was that emotional intelligence correlates positively with the exercise of good leadership. To this aim, a study was carried out with 1101 university students from Chile, Mexico and Spain who…

This paper investigated project-based governance (PBG) in China's higher vocational education (HVE) with a main research question asking how PBG works in China's HVE. Using case study as a research strategy, the paper examines the application and effect of the PBG model on Chinese HVE within the analytical framework of PBG-based agency theory.…

Background: This study posits that scaffolded team-based computational modeling and simulation projects can support model-based learning that can result in evidence of representational competence and regulatory skills. The study involved 116 students from a second-year thermodynamics undergraduate course organized into 24 teams, who worked on…

Research from the field has indicated that when a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) is implemented within education settings, these data-driven frameworks can promote positive student academic and behavioral outcomes, as well as safe and optimal school climates (Ockerman et al., 2012, Sugai & Horner, 2009; Ziomek-Daigle, 2016). As school…
