Interprofessional education is essential to developing future healthcare practitioners who can effectively collaborate with other professionals in practice settings. The current study examined the effectiveness of an escape room as an educational tool for interprofessional practice for occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language…

Group configurations shape social skills and learning outcomes by fostering student interaction and collaboration. Yet, the factors influencing group formation, social cohesion, and group stability have remained understudied in physics education. Here, we examine these factors in a cohort of 90 students from ninth and tenth grades at a private…

The overall performance of a chemical plant goes beyond engineering design and optimization. Operational factors such as teamwork, communication, human oversight, and process troubleshooting are crucial in determining the plant's safety and profitability. This paper proposes the integration of simulation-based teaching into the chemical…

The Stitching Urban Vision (SUV)1 method is innovative, facilitating children to co-create a sense of empowerment. SUV© fosters an understanding of negotiation using a shared vision. SUV© sits apart from traditional negotiating methods that often result in delayed, unresolved, and fragmented ideas. Adults often resist reaching collective decisions…

The paper reports on the school leadership practices for creating the learning space for the 21st century learning in rural secondary schools. Data was generated from semi-structure interviews and documents reviews with nine participants. The theoretical framework underpinning the study is transformational leadership theory. The findings indicated…

The Leadership/Teamwork Self-Efficacy Scale has been shown to be an effective tool for measuring interpersonal competence beliefs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics academic settings. However, little is known about its psychometric properties. The present research explored the measure's longitudinal factor structure in the…

Three staples of management and organizational behavior classes are units on creativity, problem solving, and group decision making. This article presents an experiential exercise in creative problem solving in which the participants attempt to create a cartoon caption both individually and in small groups. The cartoons all come from "The New…

Corresponding to industry trends and changes in engineering education accreditation criteria, non-technical professional skills training is now seen as central to baccalaureate engineering education. Beyond simply developing good managers in the engineering fields, engineering educators have adopted a goal to prepare engineering students to be…

Purpose: This paper aims to test if team reflexivity is a countermeasure to the detrimental effect of team virtuality on team performance improvement, in decision-making teams. Design/methodology/approach: Study 1 regarded 210 individuals (N = 44 teams) executing five decision-making tasks. Study 2 regarded 60 individuals (N = 20 teams) executing…

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their interconnected targets can only be achieved if their interactions are seriously taken into consideration. Education for sustainability is crucial for raising awareness of different stakeholders about the SDGs and their interactions. The paper discusses how teamwork creation of Open Educational…

One of the main discussions in higher education is whether universities have appropriately adapted their structures and processes in response to the New Public Management (NPM) reforms and the Bologna Process. There are no profound empirical investigations on the extent to which faculties take elements of the reforms into account in terms of…

For some children, additional help sought from specialists outside of school may be crucial for them to engage successfully with their education. How effectively educationalists and these professionals from a wider field interact will have a significant impact upon the support the child receives. This research set out to better understand…

Despite many claimed benefits, teacher collaboration remains patchy, under-theorised, and resisted. At the same time, new large teaching spaces offer teachers opportunities to teach in teams within and across school subjects to enhance teacher and student learning. In this paper we aim to contribute to theorising the nature and means of this form…

Although 70% of Americans accept the reality of climate change (Leiserowitz et al., 2021), a lack of concerted societal action has not yet moved the issue to the top tier of the political agenda. This apparent "value-action gap" has been ascribed to, among other factors, maladaptive emotions in response to climate change's threat that…

Purpose: Data was obtained from students from 39 universities in 24 countries, part of a large experiential exercise, X-Culture, who worked remotely in cross-cultural teams to solve business problems. The purpose of this study is to develop and test, using structural equation modeling, a conceptual model that identifies the determinants of…
