higher levels of project performance through improved teamwork (Van Knippenberg,van Ginkel, & Homan, 2013). Two layers of diversity attributes were identified by researchers:(a) the surface level (e.g., age, gender, race, and physical disabilities; Mannix & Neale, 2005);and (b) the deep level (e.g., cognitive ability, personality traits, values, beliefs, and attitudes;Harrison, Price, Gavin, & Florey, 2002). However, the majority of studies on team diversity havefocused solely on surface-level attributes because deep-level diversity tends to be difficult tomeasure. The present study aims to explore micro-level patterns of behavior where effects ofdeep level diversity are manifested to create a collaborative environment and attenuate

knowledgeMetacognition is “knowledge of one’s knowledge, processes, and cognitive and affective states;and the ability to consciously and deliberately monitor and regulate one’s knowledge, processes,and cognitive and affective states” (Hacker, 1998, p. 3). This definition, and others (e.g., Brown& DeLoache, 1978; Kluwe, 1982; Schraw & Moshman, 1995; Veenman, Van Hout-Wolters, &Afflerbach, 2006), identifies both declarative and procedural components of metacognition (seeFigure 1). Metacognitive declarative knowledge consists of a person’s knowledge or beliefsabout: (a) one’s cognitive and affective states and the states of others; (b) a task, its demands,and how those demands can be met under varying conditions; and (c) strategies foraccomplishing

In the prototypefirst strategy, change agents develop the new curriculum and then offer it to a fraction of thestudents for whom it is ultimately envisioned. There are two sub-varieties of the prototype firststrategy: (a) show that it makes an improvement, and (b) work out the kinks.The purpose of the first sub-variety is to demonstrate that that prototype makes a difference withrespect to the stated goals in order to
