| Abstract: |
Teamwork is a critical learning outcome for engineering graduates. Due to the increasingly globalised nature of the engineering workforce and engineering education, more work is needed to integrate cross-cultural perspectives into the study of teamwork in engineering education research. With the largest engineering student population in the world, China represents a particularly important case. This study involved an exploratory, systematic literature review on how effective teamwork has been conceptualised among Chinese engineering educators. Chinese journal articles were sourced from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) website. The analysis identified five themes regarding the conceptualisation of teamwork among Chinese engineering educators, namely, principles for formulating teams, the collective sense of honour, clarification of individuals' strengths, a comprehensive understanding of diverse team roles, and the integration of cooperation and competition. |
