Piloting Collaborative Learning Activities in a Sustainable Construction Class
Collaboration skills are increasingly necessary to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving, complex, and multi-disciplinary construction workforce. As these skills are being called upon more explicitly in the construction industry and other higher education settings, need exists for a deeper understanding of how construction education can provide graduates with collaborative skills. However, classroom activities incorporating collaborations skills—communication, conflict resolution, decision-making, or problem solving—tend to be underrepresented in many construction classes. This research documents and analyzes two teaching activities developed and implemented by the authors where students work in teams in different learning environments to perform explicit tasks. Team performance was recorded, along with student self-assessments. Piloting such activities provides valuable lessons learned that highlight the role of performance metrics, team diversity, learning environment, and observation and assessment in collaborative learning.
