This research aims to explore the effects of thinking styles-based team composition on team interaction as well as on team outcomes in engineering freshmen, and to draw educational implications for its application to college classes. According to the examination of both domestic and overseas researches concerning the relationships among thinking styles, team interaction and team outcomes in engineering students, few studies have focused on them at second hand. This study was conducted with 128 engineering freshmen in the《 academic writing 》class at H University, and their thinking styles, team interaction as well as team outcomes have been evaluated. Our findings show that firstly, there were significant team differences in team interaction. Thinkingstyles based homogeneous teams obtained higher scores than heterogeneous ones. Secondly, within homogeneous teams, external style got the highest scores in team interaction than the others. Third, there were significant differences in team outcomes. Homogeneous teams obtained higher scores than their counterparts. Finally, in team outcomes, legislative style got the highest scores than the other styles. These findings could be applied for the development of team-based class and its improvement. Also they could provide an explanation for designing thinking stylesbased team composition in related courses. |
