ABSTRACT
Preparing, assessing group tasks and dividing them among students are challenging issues as efficiency of group-based learning may differ from one field of study to another. Therefore, managing group works in classes and assigning roles to each learner may be specific for each discipline. Moreover, as information-communication technology is being implemented and constructively used in almost all the areas of industry, teaching methods should include IT-based tasks to assure quality learning. In fact, group works should also target computer literacy of students. In this context, this paper presents implemented methodology and achieved results in introducing IT-related group works intended for students of Young Scholars’ Council of higher educational institution. Group tasks were prepared in a way that each task required technical background of each member. Because the main goal of the research was to analyze the effects of both computer-based group tasks and backgrounds of students on the IT-related capacity building, knowledge and skill development of each another. Young scholars were selected from various engineering disciplines among distinguished students.
