8. Why use teamwork in your teaching? • Team Activity, 3 minutes • Split your team into pairs • One pair create a list of PROs • One pair create a list of CONs • Group discussion, 7 minutes

9. Some of Our Pro’s • Tough problems require teams • Teams used extensively in research, government and industry. • ABET requires students to be able to function on teams. • Vehicle to develop team skills such as leadership and conflict management. • Promote deeper understanding. • Provide a diversity of viewpoints. • Promote elaboration where students must articulate their position. • Promote creative collaboration. Synergy. • Develop a creative solution.

10. Some Con’s • It is hard work. • Some students think it is unfair. • Takes time to develop. • May lower course evaluations.

11. Identify differences between group work and teamwork. • Team Activity, 3 minutes • Group Discussion, 5 minutes

12. Group Work vs. Teamwork • Group Work • Activity spans short time frame. • Groups formed spontaneously. • Groups breakup after a session (little or no commitment). • Most undergraduates equipped with skills to do group work. • Teamwork • Activities span long time frame. • Teams formed carefully. • Teams stay formed and have commitments. • Undergraduates are ill equipped with skills to do teamwork.

14. Apply the five tenets of CL to a common teamwork situation. • Cooperative Learning (CL) tenets are provided in a handout (Page 2 of 14). • Team Activity, 5 minutes. • Select a common team situation such as a sports team, orchestra or a marching band. • Write a few sentences about how each of the five tenets are met in this situation. • Audience Discussion, 5 minutes.

15. Teaching Scenario Jigsaw • Jigsaw Activity • In your teaching scenario (Page 3 of 14), determine if the five tenets are satisfied. If not, describe why not. • Review the assigned scenario description (individual), 2 minutes. • Review scenario with your “symbol” group, 5 minutes. • “Teach” the results back to your team, 8 minutes.

16. Your experiences with teamwork • Discussion, 10 minutes • Conclusions • Traditional courses do not address teamwork. • Teamwork is facilitated with the 5 CL tenets. • Most students are ill equipped to do teamwork. • They lack the needed interpersonal skills.
