跨領域實作課程培育大學生團隊合作能力之探究
The Inquiry into the Effects of Interdisciplinary Courses for the Development of Teamwork Ability of Students
摘要
近年來，國際工程教育越趨重視跨領域整合、團隊合作與問題解決能力等人才之培育，學生需要學習與不同領域的人進行合作，以解決實際發生的問題。因此，本研究針對跨領域實作課程培養學生的團隊合作能力與學習歷程進行探究，以北部某國立大學創意與創業課程為例，研究對象為64位橫跨7個學院的學生，運用質性與量化的多元研究方式進行三角檢證。量化研究採用西班牙的Eduardo教授與美國萊斯大學心理系的Salas教授共同研發與編製的團隊合作能力量表（Teamwork Competency Test，簡稱TWCT），質性研究則運用半結構式深度訪談，收集學生的學習歷程與老師的觀察。研究結果顯示，學生在「溝通」、「規劃與協調」以及「提供意見回饋」之平均分數最高，而訪談內容也印證了學生的優良表現，並顯示跨領域的團隊組成的確會讓學生在合作時激盪出更多的可能性。平均分數較低的則包含「進行決策」、「非正式溝通」以及「監督及評估」等能力，這些能力的不足，推論與團隊性質及缺乏領導者有緊密的關係。最後，本研究將提出未來研究與課程發展的建議及改善方向。

In recent years, international engineering education has been placing increasing emphasis on developing talents of cross-disciplinary integration, teamwork, and problem solving. Students need to learn to collaborate with people from other disciplines to solve issues in real-life contexts. Hence, this study focuses on inter-disciplinary courses that develop students' teamwork ability and collaborative learning, within a creativity and entrepreneurship course at a national university in northern Taiwan. The subjects were 64 students from 7 colleges. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were implemented to conduct the triangulation for multiple data resources. For quantitative analysis, this study adopted the Teamwork Competency Test (TWCT) developed by Professors Eduardo from Spain and Professor Salas from the Department of Psychology from the Rice University of the U.S. For qualitative analysis, students' learning processes and teachers' observations were collected via semi-structured in-depth interviews. The results show that the students had highest average scores in categories including 〞communication,〞 〞planning and coordination,〞 and 〞feedback.〞 The interviews also confirm the students' excellence performance, and show that teams of cross-disciplinary composition have inspired more possibilities in students' collaborations. Categories with lower average scores include 〞decision making,〞 〞informal communication,〞 and 〞supervision and assessment.〞 Deficiencies in these abilities are assumed to closely related to the natures of the teams and the lack of leadership. Finally, this study will provide directions and suggestions regarding future research and course improvement.
