Team Learning in the Field: An Organizing Framework and Avenues for Future Research

When Amy received the invitation to write an essay for Small Group Research , she wanted to collaborate with one of her former students, and Jean-François was thrilled when offered the opportunity. They had followed and contributed to team learning research—separately and together—and both relished the opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities today’s teams (and team researchers) face.

In this article, the authors reflect on team-learning research using a framework that emerged from their collaborative work and share thoughts and propositions for future research.
