Employers, higher education stakeholders and professional bodies agree: students require strong teamwork capability to achieve complex project goals. Just providing teamwork opportunities does not ensure success ‒ often students develop negative attitudes towards teamwork (Gale et al., 2014) and report inadequate teamwork instruction (Webb & Miller, 2006).

Our study reviewed current research evidence on teamwork capability through a content analysis structure adapted from the Assuring Graduate Capabilities model (Oliver, 2015). This analysis highlighted the value of formal teamwork instruction for students to develop knowledge, tools for documentation and reflection to build skills and explicit attention to student attitudes about teamwork and to development of this capability.
