On measuring team stability in cooperative learning: An example of consecutive course projects on software engineering
Cooperative learning theory has shown that stable membership is a hallmark of
effective work teams. According to relation strength and social network
centrality, this paper proposes an approach to measure team stability reasons
in consecutive cooperative learning. Taking consecutive course projects of
software engineering in a university as examples, we examine the relation
between team stability and learning performance in consecutive cooperative
learning from two parts: learning score and learning satisfaction. Through
empirical analysis, it arrives at the conclusion that learning score is in weak
positive correlation with team stability. Through questionnaire and interviews,
it finds out 78% of the students did not value the importance of team
stability, and 67% of the teachers never recommend the students to keep stable
teams. Finally, we put forward an expected correlation model of learning
performance as future work and discuss instability as well.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 5 table
