Activity 1.2.4 Teamwork - New Paltz Middle School
Activity 1.2.4 TeamworkIntroductionSuccessful teams work together to solve a common problem. Success requires cooperation, communication, trust, empowerment, risk-taking, support, problem-solving, decision-making, and leadership from the team members. In order to work as an effective team, each team member must understand their own strengths and weaknesses as well as the strengths, weaknesses, and personalities of other team members. A successful team contains members who are both task-oriented and process-oriented. Task-oriented behaviors focus on accomplishing the tasks necessary to reach the team goal, such as performing research, creating computer models, and writing reports. Process-oriented behaviors encourage good team communication and cooperation and include providing support, encouragement, and acting as a mediator when conflict arises. In contrast, destructive behaviors, such as blocking progress, avoiding work, and dominating the group activities are detrimental to team dynamics and should be identified and discouraged.EquipmentTeam-Role Descriptions documentProcedureAfter you finalize Project 1.2.1 Design Project, complete this reflection based upon your contributions to the group.
