PBL Group 9 - Topic 3 Watch us working collaboratively to create this mind map Take home messages Encourage communication Flexibility in group organisation Sufficient time Monitoring Clear instructions What strategies make people become part of a learning community and collaborate with their peers? Engaging different personalities Understand the different personalities among group members Creating a psychologically safe space for sharing Allows learners to choose the level of privacy of their conversations (public, class, restricted) Allow flexibility to stimulate creativity in group organisation (e.g. tools, roles) Form groups early to allow bounding Establishing sense of community through empathy Promoting shared goal among team members Goal must be understandable and precise Teams succeed when all members shared the same goal Establish roles/responsibilities for a shared task There is no (letter) "I" in (the word) "team": Encouraging collaboration (instead of division of work) Allow sufficient time True collaboration takes longer than cooperation Have group facilitators who can encourage collaboration Prepare learners for collaboration and monitor progress Encourage & enable regular, synchronous meetings involving the whole group This involves thinking things through before the course begins Rewarding collaborative behaviour Intrinsic reward by assignments that allow for meaning making - pass or fail? Assess collaboration by grading? Collaboration as part of the assessment Coherent assessment to minimise unfairness According to Brindley et al., this may not help Make individual work dependent on group work Build motivation for collaboration into the course design Encouraging equal distribution of effort Monitoring might help but with the risk of “Big brother” feelings about being monitored Establish different roles for a shared task Give relevant tasks with clear guidelines Assign tasks that are appropriate for groups to work on together Train collaborative skills in academic settings
