For the industrial design profession, to get success, teamwork is a necessity that students have to learn to take the responsibility for managing teamwork and working in a team environment. New graduates now work in many different sectors and produce solutions together with many different disciplines. This changing situation further increases the necessity of obtaining teamwork skills in design education. Current university students, Gen Z has been exposed to technology much more than the other generations, which influences all their activities including learning, obtaining information and education. These tools also bring flexible learning environments without time and place restrictions, which facilitates and develops new perspectives for teamwork. In teamwork processes including many steps and processes, students are expected to learn to take different roles, work with different people and create a common working discipline. Students with these skills can adapt more easily to teamwork, which is inevitable in professional life, and can be more successful. In addition, design education also involves more complex issues that require teamwork, which includes systems thinking and social and environmental awareness. Rather than just teamwork-oriented assignments, it should become the main structure of design projects, where feedback is given at regular intervals as part of studio courses and students' progress can be monitored in terms of teamwork skills. This doctoral study aims to provide a framework and guidance for design students and educators on how to carry out more effective teamwork within the scope of the studio course and how design students learn main teamwork skills especially task management, time management and leadership skills. In this research, the opportunities and challenges for integrating online tools into the design process to promote teamwork experience in design education are reviewed to explore and develop the learning and teaching strategies in order to enhance teamwork for more effective design education in line with the characteristics and needs of new generations and developments of technologies.
