Higher education institutions need to prepare faculty for teaching collaboration in the classroom. Career service advisors state that a common question asked by prospective employers looking at hiring graduating students is how well can the applicant work on a team.

A majority of employers (56%) express satisfaction with the job colleges and universities are doing to prepare graduates for success in the workplace, but more than two in five indicate there is room for improvement (Hart Research Associates, 2013). The desired outcome is having more graduates with a solid background in team building and group dynamic skills. The positive results in teams and their member achieving balance between individual autonomy and collective action. Instructors were interviewed about issues they have in using teams in their classes. Based on the results recommendations were made for using teams more effectively.
