Integrating Individual and Collective Skills: A Rubric-Based Model for Teamwork Competence Assessment

Abstract

The competence of teamwork comprises a set of skills that enable the assessment of teamwork evolution (collective skills) and the involvement of each team member (individual skills). In most research works, these skills are grouped without making this distinction between collective and individual skills. In this study, collective skills are associated with the different phases that constitute the evolution of teamwork, allowing for the identification of the precise moment when such a skill should be applied. Individual skills are applied in all phases of teamwork, as they measure individual involvement and responsibility, along with the competencies necessary at an individual level to develop teamwork. This work presents a rubric that associates phases, evidence, technology, and indicators and allows educators to measure the degree of acquisition of each and collective skill. The method used for the development of teamwork has been the Comprehensive Training Model of the Teamwork Competence, which supports both the continuous and transparent creation of evidence of teamwork development by the teams and each of their members, as well as the continuous monitoring of this development by educators.
