This workshop helped contextualise the HKUST conference on 'Engaging Undergraduates in Research and Inquiry' on May 20th and gave participants numerous mini-case studies from different disciplines and institutions in Europe, Australasia and North America.
This workshop emphasized structuring student teams to promote high performance and individual learning through ensuring positive interdependence (commitment to a common goal) and individual accountability (individual assessment). A model that combines group processing, process observation, peer review and individual assessment has been introduced. Workshop participants also had the opportunity to practice many of these elements as well as plan adoption in their courses.
