Editor's Notes
- University of Phoenix has been using learning teams since the start. Founder Dr. John Sperling felt that learning teams offered students with a necessary skill for success in the workplace and the academic setting (University of Phoenix, 2004). Learning teams have many benefits when it comes to academic success. Learning teams not only about working with others but is serves as a methods to help student build communication skills and collaboration skills. Learning teams assist students with staying focused on the topic that is being assigned. Due to there being multiple people working together on the assignment then another value of learning teams would be to produce quality work. Learning teams also prepare students when they have to work in real world environments with others, such as coworkers or students. Everyone in the team may have different opinions and thoughts, learning teams allow you to share you opinion and life experiences with others. Lastly, learning team s also provides the students with a sense of community and support.
- Reason-causes for the conflict; Reaction-look at your own reactions; Results- If not resolved what might happen; Resolution-which approach will effectively resolve. Assume- others involved good intentions; Express-your own thoughts; Identify- what you would like to see happen; Outcome- express outcome you would like to see while being open to others; Understand-the plan should be agreed upon by every member.
- The majority of our team’s learning style is visual and hands-on. We do have one team member who learns by reading. By having the same learning styles, it will be easier for our team to understand each other. The team’s dynamics can change. Usually, the dynamics of the team are positive unless there is a member who is not doing his or her portion of the work. This causes stress on the team and makes the other team members pick up the slack of the unproductive team member.
- Effective communication skills are fundamental to succeed in many aspects of life. Effective communication is the key to interpersonal skill, but how do we get to have a good communication skill. First we need to know that communication is a two way process so it involves how we send and received the message.

- In order to have a successful learning team there are some components that are required. Working in teams require everyone to work together and be on the same accord. Team members must be able to work out any disagreements and that include compromising, avoiding, or accepting differences. Working in learning teams require for all team members to be honest and have trust in one another. You need to be able to be honest about the work that you do and about your strengths and weakness. This will allow other members to know what you need help with. Another important component to working in learning teams would to be that everyone is on the same page with meeting a common goal. This will require team members to discuss expectations of each team member and a time line. Also in a group there is a leader, however, this leader is not held solely responsible for getting the assignment done. All members of the group is expected to do their part and give 100% to the assignment.
