Social learning theory, as well as research on informal learning, suggests that one of the most important ways students learn is through collaboration. We suggest that as social learners, students who experience friendships in their project team will benefit from communal learning and increased proactivity. Our research finds that student job crafting is more prevalent for students with friends on their team because of the increased commitment and open discussion they experience. Participants in this session will engage in a powerful discussion regarding the implications of allowing students to work with their friends and encouraging students to craft their work.
