Good Teamwork can be learned

Teamwork is at the heart of the modern work place. Solving complex problems, responding to unexpected change and developing innovative products and solutions requires multiple skills that can only be brought together in a team. Employers realize that teamwork is important and the ability to work well in a team is a top skill they seek in graduates. Therefore, it is important that students learn to function in a team environment and acquire strong interpersonal skills to be ready when they enter the workforce.

Issues with Teamwork at University
Teamwork at University often suffers from a range of problems including anxiety from high-performing students, frustration from less integrated students, high team homogeneity (friends work together), failing teams, unfair teams, little actual team learning and academic under-performance.

Good TeamWork can be learned
Effective teams know how to coordinate, manage conflict and ensure that each team member is responsible and accountable. Good teamwork requires skills in time management, planning and goal setting, decision making, communication skills, as well as the ability to analyse and evaluate team performance. Good teamwork harvests multiple perspectives. Good teamwork and learning in teams does not happen by itself! Good teamwork can be learned.
