Improving individual learning in software engineering team projects

The focus of our research is on determining the factors that facilitate both team success and individual learning during team-oriented project-based learning. Of particular interest is the efficacy of collaborative learning approaches in general for individual engineering students. Our results from a large scale experiment provide no evidence that working on a successful and effective team affects individual exam performance. Thus, we will propose a qualitative study to determine the best ways to structure team work to enhance individual leaning.
