Abstract
Interest in the use of collaborative learning strategies in higher
education is growing as educators seek better ways to prepare students
for the workplace. In design education, teamwork and creativity are
particularly valued; successful collaborative learning depends on
knowledge sharing between students, and there is increasing recognition
that the goals of individuals affect their perception of the costs and
benefits of knowledge sharing. In a team that is functioning well, members
commit to the collaborative achievement of the group’s goals; however,
students see knowledge as a personal resource that is often used to
assess their performance and this may affect their goals.
