Student Group Work: From Friction to Learning
Collaboration skills are essential in today’s world. In learning outcomes and the competencies of graduates that we aim for, this skill is emphasized, but how can we as teachers put this into practice? While group projects in higher education courses are common, students often lack structured guidance on communication, conflict resolution, or shared responsibility. This can create friction for both students and teachers, but what if that friction is actually an opportunity for learning?
