Abstract: | The area of group work and group based technology research is of value in that group and team work skills are seen as important
to both industry and education. However, research also shows that there are major issues that have to be considered when introducing
group work to organisations. These issues which include cultural, social, technological and educational are considered within
this research. The purpose of this research was to gain a deeper understanding of the attitudes of university students to
group work and group based technology. Group work and group based technologies were also considered in an industry setting
as this was seen as an important pre-requisite to the study of student group work. The outcome of this paper is, based on
the findings of the author’s research, and proposes a set of conclusions and recommendations for the introduction of group
work and group based technology into the Higher Education environment. To this end it is important to recount the research
process that led to the production of these recommendations. In order to further this research a substantial literature review
was undertaken as was an industry survey and a student based case study. |
