Facilitating Dysfunctional Teams
How might an instructor reduce the likelihood of dysfunctional teams? How might team members reduce the likelihood of dysfunctional teams? What is a dysfunctional team?
How might an instructor recognize a dysfunctional team? What examples of dysfunctional behavior can lead to the destruction of a team? How might an instructor facilitate a dysfunctional team?


Example 1: P.K. Imbrie, Purdue University

teaches first-year engineering classes at Purdue University. Section sizes for first-year engineering classes range from 180 to 475 students.

He uses the following technique in these large first-year engineering classes for providing teams with self reflection and group processing (including self facilitation).

  • Each individual submits regular (Web-based) reflection reports.
    • How have I done as a team member?
    • What could I have done to help my team more?
    • How have others on my team done as team members?
    • What could they have done to help my team more?
    • How have we done as a team?
  • Each individual has previously submitted reflection reports, such as:
    • How did I do on exam one?
    • What could I have done to improve my performance?
    • How did we do on the last team assignment?
    • What could we have done to improve performance?

The Web provides a convenient way of collecting and processing information from a large number of students, and teams that need special or individual attention can be quickly identified.
