TeamMAPPS is a highly specific competency model for team science which addresses known issues in team science; is evidence based; and describes needed behaviors.
We developed the model on the basis of previously developed competencies and team models and its applicability to team science and the scientific enterprise.
Purpose:
To develop your diagnostic abilities to detect the appropriateness of certain behavioral skills important to leading and participating in scientific teams
Refine your specific skills:
- Facilitate awareness and exchange
- Promote psychological safety within or across teams
- Promote team self-correction
To increase your confidence in addressing the challenges, issues, and opportunities inherent in the conduct of team science
Framework:
Based on a comprehensive literature review of existing evidence, TeamMAPPS is comprised of three broad "competency sets."
Components of the Model
Awareness & Exchange:
A
set of competencies relating to the facilitation of team members’
perspective seeking, reframing and integrating alternative cognitive
view.
Psychological Safety:
A set of competencies that provide team members a safe environment, including participant acknowledgement, issue identification, and conflict resolution
Adaptation:
A set of competencies that result in team members being able to extend challenges, monitor the team, and improve its performance over time
