Developing an assessment model for individual learning in a team environment

The inherent complexity of team-based learning environments creates ambiguity for academic staff and students alike in terms of learning goals and the production of evidence of individual student learning. This five-institution research project gathered data from academic staff and students about their experiences with assessment in team-based settings, data which served as the foundation for the development of a conceptual model for effective assessment of individual student learning in this highly collaborative setting. This paper reports on the research design of this ongoing project, the conceptual assessment model, and the future directions for the project itself.
