| Abstract: | The evolving nature of higher educational institutes has given rise to holistic educational solutions with an emphasis on collaborative learning through interdisciplinary student teams. These teams comprise of specialists from various fields that collaborate and communicate to achieve a common goal. Interdisciplinarity helps significantly in complex problem solving as it elevates innovation and creativity. With the goal of tackling communication within an interdisciplinary student team, this paper addresses communication problems through identifying communication patterns. These can be tackled with team building interventions designed to foster communication. The interventions are grounded in the Behavioral Change Wheel Model that identifies interventions in accordance with the communication patterns. A qualitative investigation in the form of semi-structured with students of interdisciplinary student teams led to the identification of two interventions for effective communication. The study hence provides insight into designing team building interventions for effective communication along with recommendations for students, faculty, and organizations. |
