Workshop on 21st Century Learning for Engaging Millennials, Part 2: Designing and Supporting Team-Based Learning using Cooperative Learning
Synopsis
Being able to work in teams is essential for today’s graduates, especially in the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution. However, team working is not a natural in-born skill – grouping students together in small groups often result in dysfunctional teams with various problems. Students need to learn and be guided in developing the skills – but do educators know what is team working and how to develop the required skills for team working? Can we define what is good team working and provide the necessary guidance to our students? The knowledge imparted in this workshop is crucial for educators to support students in developing team working skills, which is essential in attaining more complex skills such as team-based problem solving. In addition to team formation and dynamics, essential pillars of cooperative learning will be discussed in detail to assist educators in designing impactful learning environment to develop team working skills.
