thatallows the team to provide with the most effective way to solve a problem.The purpose of this work in progress is to implement a teamwork effectiveness model tomanage large teams in a large lecture to promote teamwork competencies in engineeringstudents. Our focus was to provide structured team training addressing required individualand team competencies, designed under instructional strategies that allowed individuals theopportunity to experience real team situations (a problem-based design project) and have timefor reflection on their learning process. In this paper we focus on answering the followingresearch question:RQ: Do students’ perceptions of teamwork changed after receiving teamwork training in alarge lecture?Literature ReviewThe

Worth, et al. (2012).During this phase, the NHEI team met daily with their faculty mentor to debrief the progressmade, identify any new problems, brainstorm solutions and plan the following day’s activities.The phase concludes at the end of the fourth week with a formal report and reflection meeting todebrief metacognitive learning from the experience and prepare for future events.Phase III – Moving Toward Independent ResearchAt five weeks of duration the third phase of the internship is the longest component of theprogram and was designed to grow each student’s ability to assume a greater level of autonomyin improvement efforts within their team. During this phase student teams moved to differentpartner locations for two – three weeks at each

greatly contributed to the globalizationof markets, education, and societies which give place to a massive flow of information and therapid creation of new knowledge. This generates new careers and occupations that requirecontinuous learning and specialization (Candy, Creber, & O'leary, 1994).Several researchers agree that engagement, interaction, reflection, analysis, and discussion fosterautonomous learning (Barr & Tagg, 1995; Little, 1996; Weimer, 2002). Kuh et al. (2009) defineengagement in education as the individual effort to participate in educational activities inside oroutside the classroom. The level of engagement of a student will depend on two main factors: (1)the time and energy invested by the student participating in

. Instructional Design, on the other hand, is the systematic and reflective process oftranslating principles of learning and instruction into plans for, instructional materials, activities,information resources, and evaluation [1]. Teaching refers to the learning experiences that arefacilitated by a human being. Smith and Ragan [1] identifies three steps in instructional design inthe following way: a. Identifying the Goals through Analysis – This involves consideration of the learning outcomes to be achieved, background of students and the nature of the teaching activity such as lecture, workshop, and lab work. b. Development of an Instructional Strategy – This is the planning of how the instruction will take place

clear: students need access to information and encouragement to pursue thatinformation if they are to successfully detect and resolve discrepancies through adaptation anddecision-making.Points of ImprovementGame Assessment. We found that the weekly reports were helpful in familiarizing the gamemasters with teams’ decision-making processes, and would like to continue this form of serialassessment. However, the prompts for these weekly reports should be more specific, and shouldalign with the learning frameworks identified in our analysis. We propose that in each weeklyreport, teams should be asked to reflect on the following: (1) What discrepancies exist betweenexpected and actual results of the previous week, (2) what strategies led to the

of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating informationgathered from or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication,as a guide to belief and action”.10 In this context, critical thinking targeted in this study is thestudents’ ability to gather information through various activities and connect and integrate thisinformation for use (as a guide to action) in a more complex assignment. The approach used issimilar to the one employed in Linder et. al. study in terms of assignment sequencing andbreaking up a larger assignment into smaller assignments. However, the smaller assignmentsused in this study are different in nature and type, and how they are connected
