Teamwork Perceptions: Student vs Faculty

Understanding the differences between student and faculty perceptions of the elements that affect positive team experiences in the classroom informs faculty as they consider which elements to use in the classroom. Using Q Methodology (Stephenson, 1935) students evaluated a large set of teamwork elements at the beginning and end of a semester. Specifically, elements which can be controlled or influenced by faculty were considered. The results were then compared to faculty evaluation of the same elements to understand the differences in perceptions.
