         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p>Collegiality &amp; Team Interaction - But as the activity was prompt and the students were seated in a straight row in the Lecture Theatre format, the groups of 4-5 students sought to discuss with their shoulder partner(s), so instead of having the platform to "<strong>Work well with peers, show respect, contributes, as an individual or as a team</strong>." They were in pairs or trios and a small minority allowed their groupmates to carry the load. </p><p>=&gt; Learning point: The physical environment needs to be conducive but due to the class size of 50, there were limited options for classroom to accommodate them.</p></li></ol><ol start="2"><li><p>Tact &amp; Sensitivity - The class had good rapport with the teacher and fellow peers during the discussion so to see the ability for them to "<strong>Handle disagreements or differing views calmly, uses respectful language, as an individual or as a team</strong>." was not evident.</p></li><li><p>Verbal Contribution<strong> </strong>- As mentioned in (1), being SBS students meant they were generally <strong>"Willingly contributes ideas in discussions and explains views clearly, as an individual or as a team</strong>." =&gt; Learning point: The quality of interpersonal relationships is important as a safe environment allows them to share their ideas openly.</p></li><li><p>Adaptability in group setting - NA "<strong>Can adjust communication to different team dynamics and roles, as an individual or as a team</strong>." =&gt; Learning point: Can consider coming up with prescribed roles in group discussions, with each member taking on varied roles on a rotational basis. Such diversity will allow students to have the opportunity learn adaptability.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1. Problem Identification​ - "<strong>Able to identify core problems or gaps accurately, as an individual or as a team</strong>." Suggest to have a 'larger' scenario case study for the students to spot the pertinent issue they can solve instead of zooming right into the tricky issue for immediate application of taught concepts​.</p><p>2. Idea Generation​ - "<strong>Contributes useful or novel ideas/solutions to challenges, as an individual or as a team</strong>.​" As mentioned earlier with regards to constraints to physical environment, a small minority were not engaged in groupthink.</p><p>3. Analytical Thinking​ - "<strong>Uses logic to evaluate options and justify decisions clearly, as an individual or as a team</strong>.​" From the output of 2 groups' presentation, they demonstrated the right level of logic. However, some groups were in a rush to complete the task and the remaining groups had to continue tomorrow, affecting the overall learning schedule =&gt; Learning point: Quality of teacher's delivery is critical to maintain engagement, which in turn aids their understanding for analytical thinking.</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>
