TEAMWORK IN EDUCATION
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2009, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Knowledge is a determinative factor for companies at the competitive market. Demands change very quickly. Organizations may suit these demands if they can build knowledge management system at their companies. One of the most important elements of this process is teamwork. How can we achieve - from teachers to professors at schools and at universities – that children and students should work in teams with pleasure? This international research started in the year of 2001 in Mexico and from that time a lot of teachers, researchers, professors from different countries have joined it. The hypothesis was that there are samples in teachers’ behaviour that can be defined in advance and that come from their national cultures especially in the area of teamwork. We have continued this research by questionnaires and analyzed it with ANOVA and statistics. We verified our hypothesis, but this research does not postulate every difference between these countries deriving from cultures. The fact that there are various forms of differences refer to attitudes to work, which are fundamental differences (structural and cultural, too). The results of this research can be used in the development of education and teaching methods first in the university. These results also can be used together with another international research to develop the possibilities and methods of teamwork in education at universities and we can give instructions to management how to motivate their employees to the spontaneous and free decision knowledge sharing. We will write about this research and its results in this paper.
