A team performance model provided an organizing framework for studying multi-cultural distributed learning teams. Structural equation modeling was used to test for relationships among individual, cultural and attitudes about collaborative work factors and team performance. The paper describes this model and its theoretical basis and reports on results from two pilot projects involving 152 students from the US, Panama, UK, and Turkey. While the model shows satisfactory fit, the results suggest that other factors may also influence how well students work together on global software projects. Future research, followed by model development, should incorporate these factors to capture the complexity of the educational and training environments.

A Comparison of Team Performance Measures for Global Software Development Student Teams KATHLEEN, Swigger; CEMİLE, Serçe; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; ROBERT, Brazile; GEORGE, Dafoulas; VİCTOR LOPEZ, Cabrera (2010-07-03) One of the most difficult tasks for global software development researchers is quantifying the performance of groups and students who participate in these distributed projects [30]. There has been much debate about which factors better correlate with team performance and which best describe a successful team. The purpose of this paper is to compare the different approaches that have been used to evaluate the performance of global software learners and show how these techniques can affect research results. U...
Interaction patterns among global software development learning teams SERÇE, fatma cemile; SWİGGER, kathleen; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; BRAZİLE, robert; DAFOULAS, georges; CABRERA, Victor Lopez (2009-05-22) This paper describes a study of the impact of communication behaviors on the performance of global software teams. Using a content analysis technique developed by [10], the researchers first characterized the asynchronous communications among student teams in Panama, Turkey and the US as they worked to complete a global software development project. Cluster analysis was then used to identify groups with similar communication patterns, which is defined as the proportion of time spent on each of the behaviors...
Collaborative project-based learning: an integrative science and technological education project Baser, Derya; Ozden, M. Yasar; Karaaslan, Hasan (2017-06-01) Background: Blending collaborative learning and project-based learning (PBL) based on Wolff (2003) design categories, students interacted in a learning environment where they developed their technology integration practices as well as their technological and collaborative skills.Purpose: The study aims to understand how seventh grade students perceive a collaborative web-based science project in light of Wolff's design categories. The goal of the project is to develop their technological and collaborative s...
Antecedents of better performing teams: test of perceived team job crafting model Purtul, Tuğba; Bilgiç, Reyhan; Department of Psychology (2019) This present study examined the relationship between team performance and its antecedents such as team task characteristics (autonomy, feedback, skill variety, task identity, and task significance), team personality (proactivity, collective efficacy) and interpersonal trust under job demands and resources framework model. Also, the sequential mediating effect of team job crafting and team work engagement in this relationship was investigated. The study surveyed 147 people, comprised of 46 teams, from differ...
Multi-dimensional evaluation of E-learning systems in the higher education context: An empirical investigation of a computer literacy course Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2009-12-01) Research addressing the conceptualization and measurement of learning management systems (LMS) within educational organizations as both a web-based learning system for e-learning and as a supportive tool for blended learning environments is receiving attention, and this research study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, HELAM (Hexagonal e-Learning Assessment Model), suggesting a multi-dimensional approach for LMS evaluation via six dimensions: (1) system quality, (2) service quality, (3) cont...
