There are of cause limits in doing this properly, especially when there are few students and therefore few teams. In some cases teams have been formed in such a way that each team has a similar set of team role profiles as do the other teams.
It can be argued that those taking the Belbin test might portray a profile that they deem most favourable for the task at hand but even though there may be some obvious shortcomings associated with the Belbin test, it may still be a useful tool.Īt Bifröst University the Belbin Team Role Model has been used to form teams in some courses where teamwork has been an important factor in the learning process. Some studies show that mixed teams can be more successful than teams comprised of individuals with similar personality traits.īelbin test is one tool used to determine a participant team role best suiting that individual. Jón Freyr Jóhannsson, Einar Svansson og Gunnar ÓskarssonĮffective student´s teamwork is becoming increasingly important in higher education. Moreover, the research suggests that personality traits are not limited to bipolar relationship, but there are relationships between traits as well.“Where and how are the students now?” - A case study looking at students through Belbin Team Roles test, peer evaluation and self-assessment Analysis indicates that KPM is an improvement on the KP model in representing personality. The resulting model, referred to as Knowledge Profiling Motivational (KPM) model is developed by connecting it with the Work Preference Inventory (WPI), which assesses individual differences in Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivational orientations. This research adopts KP, develops its linkage with MBTI, and elaborates on its connection with motivation. This model has previously been linked to the trait theory of personality called Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The paper draws on knowledge management theory called Knowledge Profiling (KP) in which a theoretical construct has been developed representing personality through a set of three traits and their polar values. However this can be enhanced by understanding how motivation plays a role in personality, and particularly within the context of knowledge-based personality processes. Personality trait theories are often used to identify particular personality or behavioural characteristics of potential employees by human resource management departments.
