AB  -           Pre-defined roles and team performance for first year studentsSmith et al. (2005) proposes five key elements to creating successful collaborative learningexperiences for students: positive interdependence, face-to-face interaction, individualaccountability, developing teamwork skills and group processing. The goal of this paper is tocompare the effect of rotating pre-defined roles on team performance, which is expected to fosterall five elements.Students in a first-year introduction to engineering course work in teams to complete a numberof laboratory activities resulting in multiple team-authored reports. In Fall 2014 teams in threesections of ~25 students self-selected pre-defined roles (Treatment A) while teams in twosimilarly sized sections developed their own roles (Treatment B). The five sections were taughtby three professors, with two of the professors teaching sections of each treatment type.In Treatment A students select specific pre-defined roles to perform for each lab: before(literature reviewer); during (leader, data collector, and operator); and after (section writer,compiler, and reviewer). Students are required to select different roles for different labs. Tosponsor individual accountability, teams submit three versions of each report:   •   Rough Draft – raw sections as created by each section writer with author name next to       each section title;   •   Draft – report after compiler has addressed grammatical and spelling errors, style issues,       and missing information; and   •   Final – report after reviewer has attempted to correct any errors or omissions left by the       compiler.They also identify their roles and evaluate themselves and their team members online. Asummary of each student’s peer evaluation is made available before the next team activity,helping team members to evaluate their own contributions.In Treatment B no pre-defined roles are supplied or required. Teams create and commit to a teamcontract, develop their own roles, and fill out a peer review form on paper. For both treatments,peer evaluation results are used at the end of the semester to modify laboratory grades up to 10 %up or down.The effectiveness of each treatment will be evaluated using: (1) student peer evaluations; (2)survey questions completed by students at the beginning and end of the semester; (3) professorobservations of students over the course of the semester, especially team conflicts; and (4) focusgroups in each section conducted at the end of the semester. The results are expected to providefeedback that can be used to determine the effectiveness of predefined roles in training first yearstudents to work on teams.Smith, K. A., Sheppard, S.
