- Abstract
Integrating learning and social network literatures, we developed and tested a multistage model with collaborative norms as the linking mechanism between structural characteristics of student teams' advice-seeking networks and project-based learning outcomes. Analyses of 206 students in 47 project teams revealed that the density of team advice-seeking networks was positively related to collaborative norms. In contrast, the centralization of advice-seeking networks was negatively associated with collaborative norms when the level of perceived expertness of the central member in the team was higher. Subsequently, collaborative norms had a positive effect on both student learning and project performance. The findings suggest that research on team-based learning effectiveness can be advanced by attending to the norming process for collaboration, through which network structure shapes learning and performance in teams.
