New Insights Through a Temporal Lens
Team learning is a complex social phenomenon that develops and changes over time.
Hence, to promote understanding of the fine-grained dynamics of team learning, research
should account for the temporal patterns of team learning behavior. Taking important steps
in this direction, this special issue offers novel insights into the dynamics of team learning
by advocating a temporal perspective. Based on a symposium presented at the 2016
Interdisciplinary Network for Group Research (INGRoup) Conference in Helsinki, the four
empirical articles in this special issue showcase four different and innovative approaches to
implementing a temporal perspective in team learning research. Specifically, the
contributions highlight team learning dynamics in student teams, self-managing teams,
teacher teams, and command and control teams. The articles cover a broad range of methods
and designs, including both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, and longitudinal as
well as micro-temporal approaches. The contributors represent four countries and five
different disciplines in group research.
