Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Significant effects on teamwork emerged when two or more dimensions were targeted (ds = 0.65–0.98) but not when only one dimension was targeted (d = 0.05). → McEwan D. 2017
Evidence¶
McEwan D. 2017¶
McEwan D., Ruissen G.R., Eys M.A., Zumbo B.D., Beauchamp M.R. (2017). The Effectiveness of Teamwork Training on Teamwork Behaviors and Team Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Controlled Interventions. PLoS ONE. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0169604
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Moderator analysis (Table 3) of the number of teamwork dimensions targeted in the teamwork pool: one dimension d = 0.05 (k = 6, 95% CI −0.26 to 0.35, p = .775, not significant); two d = 0.65, three d = 0.98, four d = 0.57, all significant. The one-dimension result is a non-significant pooled estimate, not evidence that single-dimension training has no effect. Team performance improved regardless of number of dimensions (ds = 0.46–0.67).
"significant effects of training on teamwork were evident when two or more dimensions of teamwork were targeted (ds = 0.65–0.98) but not when only one dimension was targeted (d = 0.05)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Collaboration — outcome: instruction changes it

- Workshop, simulation, and team-review methods significantly improve teamwork behaviors, while the pooled effect of didactic education alone was not significant — related
- Teamwork training effects on teamwork are larger for new teams, but effects on team performance are larger for intact teams — related
