Abstract

One of the most in-demand skills for engineers is working effectively in a team. However, divergences inside the group often lead to the unsuccessful progress of the task. Therefore, creating a methodology that allows overcoming this obstacle and promotes successful teamwork seems fundamental. In this work, we present a novel questionnaire that we have designed and implemented to form balanced work teams based on the behaviour and personality of the group members. Concretely, the roles selected were Leader, Collaborative, Thoughtful and Creative. The role assignment was performed using a questionary and applied to different subjects and degrees. The role of Leader was predominant, but when analysing the group mates' opinions, a relevant decrease was observed, indicating that the students answered the questionary as a leader but did not show leadership capacities. The second role majority was Collaborator, and Creative and Thoughtful roles obtained the fewest percentages. Finally, the academic results of different courses and the students' feedback experience have been analysed, getting an upbeat assessment of the new methodology for forming groups, and it has also been observed an improvement in the average marks of the subjects.

通过在高等教育学生中应用行为角色对工作组进行有效管理
工程师最需要的技能之一是在团队中有效地工作。然而,团队内部的分歧往往导致任务的进展不成功。因此,创建一种方法来克服这一障碍并促进成功的团队合作似乎是至关重要的。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个新颖的调查问卷,我们设计并实施了基于小组成员的行为和个性来形成平衡的工作团队。具体来说,被选中的角色是“领导”、“合作”、“体贴”和“创新”。角色分配是用一个问题来完成的,并适用于不同的科目和学位。领导者的角色占主导地位,但当分析小组成员的意见时,观察到相关的下降,这表明学生以领导者的身份回答问题,但没有表现出领导能力。第二多的角色是“合作者”,而“创造性”和“深思熟虑”的角色所占比例最少。最后,对不同课程的学习成绩和学生的反馈经验进行了分析,对新的分组方法进行了乐观的评价,并观察到各科平均成绩的提高。

期刊介绍: Education for Chemical Engineers was launched in 2006 with a remit to publisheducation research papers, resource reviews and teaching and learning notes. ECE is targeted at chemical engineering academics and educators, discussing the ongoingchanges and development in chemical engineering education. This international title publishes papers from around the world, creating a global network of chemical engineering academics. Papers demonstrating how educational research results can be applied to chemical engineering education are particularly welcome, as are the accounts of research work that brings new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating direction for future research relevant to chemical engineering education. Core topic areas: -Assessment- Accreditation- Curriculum development and transformation- Design- Diversity- Distance education-- E-learning Entrepreneurship programs- Industry-academic linkages- Benchmarking- Lifelong learning- Multidisciplinary programs- Outreach from kindergarten to high school programs- Student recruitment and retention and transition programs- New technology- Problem-based learning- Social responsibility and professionalism- Teamwork- Web-based learning
