To assess the quality of teamwork, the peer evaluation tool developed by the Individual and Team Performance (ITP) Lab has been applied in a capstone design course. While this tool can evaluate the team skills of individual students, this paper tries to further examine the overall team dynamics through peer evaluation scores. As a result, three analyses are proposed: threshold analysis for low-score detection, comparative analysis for interpersonal comparison and conflict analysis for team conflict. Different team profiles (e.g., a disengaged member, a dominating member and a split team) are set for numerical study, which demonstrates and examines the effectiveness of the proposed analyses. While peer evaluation scores can be used to identify different team dynamics, further empirical study is important to relate numerical analyses for real cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
