Collaborative Research: Validating Assessment Procedures and Interventions for Enhancing Interdisciplinary Teamwork and Ethical Awareness in Undergraduate Project Teams

作为牵头机构的伊利诺伊理工学院正与密歇根理工大学、普渡大学和利哈伊大学合作：1)开发一个可靠和有效的衡量标准数据库，用于评估注册参加多学科设计项目的本科生的团队合作技能和道德意识；2)确定和描述这些机构的最佳实践，以改善团队学习目标的实现，从而提高项目质量。这些目标与以下目标是一致的：1)评估学生成绩，2)创造新的学习材料和教学策略，3)开发创新的方法，4)纳入更多不同的学生群体。项目成果包括：1)评估多学科团队合作和道德意识的指南。本指南包含对工作产品和学习成果的自我评估、同行评估和直接评估，包括对每个测量的描述、关于可靠性和有效性的数据，以及对每个可测量结果的优点和局限性的观察；2)一套在线学习材料和最佳实践范例，用于在多学科本科设计项目团队中发展跨学科团队合作和伦理意识的能力。

Illinois Institute of Technology as the lead institution is collaborating with Michigan Technological University, Purdue University and Lehigh University to: 1) develop a database of reliable and valid measures for assessing attainment of teamwork skills and ethical awareness in undergraduate students enrolled in multidisciplinary design projects and 2) identify and describe best practices from across these institutions that improve the achievement of team Learning Objectives and thereby increase program quality. The goals are consistent with the objectives of: 1) assessing student achievement, 2) creating new learning materials and teaching strategies, 3) developing innovative approaches and 4) inclusion of a large diverse student population. Included in the project outcomes are: 1) a Guide for Assessing Multidisciplinary Teamwork and Ethical Awareness. This Guide contains self-assessments, peer assessments, and direct evaluations of work products and learning artifacts including descriptions of each measure, data on reliability and validity, and observations about the strengths and limitations of each measurable outcome; 2) a set of online learning materials and examples of best practices for developing competencies in interdisciplinary teamwork and ethical awareness within multidisciplinary undergraduate design project teams.
