Relationship between the five factor model personality and learning effectiveness of teams in three information systems education courses

摘要

Although working in teams is an effective method for students to learn skills necessary for information systems, the optimal combination of team members to maximize the learning effectiveness has yet to be clarified. This study investigates the relationship between the combination of students' personality characteristics and learning effectiveness in three information system lecture courses. Two Five Factor Model (FFM) questionnaires were used to determine each student's personality characteristic. For each course, which has different styles, several different relationships are found. This study should assist educators in maximizing students' learning effectiveness in information systems courses involving teamwork.
