This chapter presents quantitative findings from a mixed-methods study on group work in Caribbean higher education. Survey data from fort-seven lecturers across faculties such as Mathematics, Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities reveal patterns of use, avoidance, and assessment. Although only one faculty mandated group work, more than half of lecturers adopted it voluntarily, motivated by pedagogy or necessity. The analysis highlights strong commitment among experienced educators alongside hesitations related to course design, class size, and fairness. Assessment approaches varied, with most valuing both group process and final product. Findings show that group work is shaped by institutional context, disciplinary norms, and lecturer values, informing future collaborative practices.

摘要

This chapter presents quantitative findings from a mixed-methods study on group work in Caribbean higher education. Survey data from fort-seven lecturers across faculties such as Mathematics, Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities reveal patterns of use, avoidance, and assessment. Although only one faculty mandated group work, more than half of lecturers adopted it voluntarily, motivated by pedagogy or necessity. The analysis highlights strong commitment among experienced educators alongside hesitations related to course design, class size, and fairness. Assessment approaches varied, with most valuing both group process and final product. Findings show that group work is shaped by institutional context, disciplinary norms, and lecturer values, informing future collaborative practices.
