团队合作和解决问题的能力经常被商业领袖确定为关键能力;因此,开发了基于问题的学习和基于团队的学习等教学方法。然而,这些方法的重点一直是教授一种或另一种技能。同时教授这些技能的一个关键论点是,在团队内部解决非结构化现实世界问题的能力是课堂外所需要的,这需要同时使用这两套技能。因此,作者描述了一门面向本科生的团体问题解决技能课程的设计和实施,在这门课程中,他们在一个学期的时间里一起从事真正的创造性问题解决工作,同时学习和发展适合他们当前团队发展和问题解决过程的技能。这种方法有可能解决商界领袖的批评,即应届毕业生往往技术熟练,但缺乏解决日常组织问题的准备。
Teamwork and problem-solving skills have frequently been identified by business leaders as being key competencies; thus, teaching methods such as problem-based learning and team-based learning have been developed. However, the focus of these methods has been on teaching one skill or the other. A key argument for teaching the skills concurrently is that the ability to solve an unstructured real-world problem within teams is what is needed outside the classroom and that this requires the use of both sets of skills simultaneously. Thus, the authors describe the design and implementation of a group problem-solving skills course for undergraduates, in which they engage in real creative problem-solving work together over a semester while learning and developing skills appropriate to their current stages in the team development and problem-solving processes. This method offers the potential to address criticisms by business leaders that new graduates often are technically proficient yet ill prepared to solve everyday organizational problems.
