Work in progress - a model to evaluate team effectiveness

This work-in-progress presents instruments that have been developed to assess team effectiveness for students in engineering classrooms. The instruments include: a) a 24-item self-report instrument (Team Effectiveness Scale) requiring students to indicate the degree their team worked together across the following domains: interdependency, goal-setting, potency, and learning; and b) a 6-item measure (Peer Assessment Scale) that asks students to rate each team member´s contribution towards the functionality of their team. Evidence of scale psychometric properties are provided along with the relationship between peer assessment and team effectiveness scores and the degree to which scores on the team effectiveness scale discriminated between functional and dysfunctional teams, consistent with instructor judgments
