摘要
Capstone engineering design courses exhibit a universal need to improve student teamwork performance while also documenting student teamwork achievements. To meet this need, the Transferable Integrated Design Engineering Education (TIDEE) consortium developed assessment instruments and companion scoring rubrics to target teamwork achievement in four areas: team relationships, joint work, individual work, and information management. Desired attributes of these instruments included transferability, practicality, reliability, user satisfaction, and robustness. Transferability was addressed by grounding the instruments in the teamwork literature and developing, piloting, and refining their use at multiple universities. A web interface for deploying and scoring the assessment instruments has supported sustainable, practical application of the instruments in a classroom setting as well as enabled design education research.
This paper describes initial deployment and pilot testing of one of the teamwork assessments-Team Member Citizenship. This assessment is unique from other developers' teamwork assessments in its combined features of: (1) being part of an integrated package of assessments for teamwork, (2) having a strong focus on reflective practice within teamwork, (3) having been tested for inter-rater reliability in scoring, (4) enabling faculty and peer feedback that supports students' growth in teamwork, and (5) providing data useful for grading and program assessment. Results demonstrate that this assessment provides data consistent with expectations, has reliability across rater scoring, and exhibits high levels of perceived value by student and faculty users. The teamwork assessments compile readily accessible research data about students' perceptions and performance of teamwork in design project environments. Additional assessment testing and data analysis are needed to further establish instrument validity and reliability.
