Abstract
In support of the newly adopted Institutional Learning Outcomes of collaboration,
teamwork, and leadership (CTL) at California State University, East Bay (CSUEB)
the researchers surveyed employers, students, and the course catalogue to
identify the frequency of student exposure to CTL in classes and co-curricular
activities and the perceived importance of these competencies. Results were
that employers highly valued and that students reported frequent exposure to
these skills. A literature review revealed the growing importance of CTL in education
with the recognition that more work was needed to identify CTL pedagogical
best practices and instruct faculty on their use.
