A Multi-Dimension Correlational Study Between Self-directed Learning and Team Effectiveness in Project-Based Learning (77819)
Session: On Demand
Room: Virtual Video Presentation
Presentation Type: Virtual Presentation
At Singapore Polytechnic (SP), the Diploma in Perfumery and Cosmetic embraces an innovative Industry Now Curriculum (INC) pathway. With this framework, students engage in industry projects to equip themselves with valuable knowledge and skills crucial to the profession. This project-based learning (PBL) approach not only imparts practical expertise but also fosters autonomous learning through collaborative team-based activities. Students are empowered to solve complex real-world problems by capitalising on concerted team efforts and self-directed learning skillsets inculcated in the learning process. This study was designed to investigate the plausible effect of team effectiveness (TE) on students' self-directed learning readiness (SDLR). The results, based on Friedman test with a significance level of p 0.8) and qualitative teamwork evaluations, concluded that specific team factors of Team Motivation, Team Structure, Team Dynamics, and Team Excellence exhibited positive and consistent associations with enhanced SDLR. Harnessing this synergy derived from TE in the co-creation of a collaborative, inclusive, and supportive learning environment, in conjunction with students' sustained interest in independent problem solving and skill development through PBL, would redefine the way we perceive self-directed learning. The ability to take ownership of learning under team influence would transform the concept of an individual playing the central role in the agency of learning to stimulate personal growth.
