Procedure:
1. Each student team selects one student to represent them in the reference group.
2. In planning the village days, allow for a session (approx. 20 min.) where the teams may discuss
and decide what they wish to bring to the reference group meeting(s).
3. The village supervisor meets with the teams’ representatives (minimum one meeting, village day
7 or 8). The learning assistants may participate.
4. The reference group writes one report, see next page. The report should focus on constructive
feedback based on the learning outcomes and the learning activities.
Learning outcome for EiT in the spring of 2017
In Experts in Teamwork, the student will learn to communicate and cooperate in a way that enables him
or her to contribute to comprehensive solutions, job satisfaction and learning in interdisciplinary project
work later in their professional life.
This means that:
 Students can reflect on how their teamwork is influenced by their own behaviour patterns and
attitudes, as well as those of others.
 Students can apply relevant concepts and fundamental group theory to develop a perspective on
their own specific collaborative situations.
 Students can analyse their teamwork, and on the basis of their insight reflect on how they
communicate, plan, decide, accomplish tasks, handle disagreements and relate to professional,
social and personal challenges.
 Students can take initiatives (actions) that encourage cooperation, and they can change their
patterns of interaction if necessary.
 Students can provide feedback to others in the team in constructive ways, and reflect on
feedback from the team.
 Students have extended their perspective on their own specialized knowledge in their encounter
with skills from other disciplines. They can communicate and apply skills they have developed in
their own field in collaboration with students from other disciplines.
