This chapter interprets statistical findings on group work practices among lecturers in Caribbean tertiary institutions. Based on responses from forty-seven educators, the analysis shows that faculty culture accounted for 23.1 per cent of group work decisions, while subject area explained nearly 49 per cent. Mathematics, Sciences, and Economics were less likely to adopt group work, often citing misalignment with objectives, grading challenges, or structural inefficiencies. Institutional mandates were rare, with only one lecturer reporting formal requirements. Assessment practices varied, reflecting tensions around fairness, contribution, and equity. The chapter concludes that group work decisions are shaped by disciplinary traditions and institutional norms, underscoring the need for flexible yet structured policies.

摘要

This chapter interprets statistical findings on group work practices among lecturers in Caribbean tertiary institutions. Based on responses from forty-seven educators, the analysis shows that faculty culture accounted for 23.1 per cent of group work decisions, while subject area explained nearly 49 per cent. Mathematics, Sciences, and Economics were less likely to adopt group work, often citing misalignment with objectives, grading challenges, or structural inefficiencies. Institutional mandates were rare, with only one lecturer reporting formal requirements. Assessment practices varied, reflecting tensions around fairness, contribution, and equity. The chapter concludes that group work decisions are shaped by disciplinary traditions and institutional norms, underscoring the need for flexible yet structured policies.
