Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

In this Chapter, summary, conclusion and recommendation are presented.

Summary of Findings:

The purpose of this study is to determine the unviable teamwork among grade 12

HUMSS students in the University of Mindanao.

To achieve this purpose, the research sought to answer the following problems:

1. How do they apply teamwork in their activities?

2. What are their difficulties about teamwork?

3. How do these problems affect their academic performances?

4. How do the students dwell with the problem?

5. What are the possible solutions that the teachers could suggest on how they would

surpass the problem?

The following are the findings of the study:

1. Students apply teamwork in their academic activities by communicating with each

other, brainstorming in order to share the different knowledge and ideas that the

members could give and especially by listening to each other’s voices, by

disseminating the tasks to each of the members for a better function. The two most

important factors for sustaining a collaborative team environment are openness and
 supportiveness. By being open and supportive of each other, teammates are able to

trust one another. To achieve a sense of openness and supportiveness, there needs to

be an opportunity for team interaction and communication.

2. Most of the common difficulties that the students face within the group points out to

the behavioral aspect. Laziness which results to not participating to the tasks that were

given, time-management by which it is very difficult for the students to handle

different tasks that were given at the same time, also there are members who instead

share good and better ideas for the team, they just joke around and gives nonsense

ideas, which false down to the fact that the people that are part of the team do not

share a common goal. It is common knowledge that students usually do not

participate, and that they end up rushing to complete the project by the deadline and

one person may refuse to contribute equally or slack off altogether which results to

unproductivity not just to the group but also as an individual.

3. The students may be affected in two ways. If the lack of teamwork will not be

resolved then the output will be a fail than to the possible outcome that was expected.

The grades will be negatively affected as well, for there is a big possibility that their

grades may also fail or will decrease and their relationship with one another will be

scarred. On the other hand, if the problem was resolved and was given focus by the

members of the team and finished it successfully, then their will not be a trouble in

their grades and their relationship with one another will just be smooth. It creates

anxiety about marks and builds boundaries with one another inside the learning area.

It also disrupts the development of a positive learning environment in a group.

the certain person who is not participating or cooperating. As for the leader’s

perspective, they usually motivate those members who are not giving their interest to

the activities that they are supposed to do. Also, making those not so participative

members realize the things that might happen in the end makes them motivated by

then, it will urge them to take action. Effective teams have teammates who are talking

and listening to each other and also have leaders that support and feedback on how to

effectively work together.

5. The most essential way to overcome the difficulty that happens within a group is

communication. With proper communication, difficult things at hand can be solved

and be mended. Solutions will be created and exact application will be vivid. Clear

and good relationship with one another must also be observed because understanding

with each other comes after it, to settle the difficulties that are present and to avoid

further problems. It further asserts that poor communication occurs when ideas are not

communicated effectively throughout the group, turn-taking is poor handled, and one

speaker may dominate throughout the group talk, leading to unnecessary conflict

behaviour.
 Conclusion

In view of the discoveries, students apply teamwork in their academic activities by

communicating by each other. Sharing your knowledge as a group and giving ideas about the

topic can help students to be more effective in group activities and brain storming is really

important to listen the voices and the ideas of others and by disseminating the task to each

members for a better function. The attitude of each members can really effect the productivity

of the group. Most of the common difficulties a student can face is laziness which will lead

the group to a downfall. Furthermore groups with lack of communication can barely

understand each other and give ideas, effective teams have teammates that are talking and

listening to each other and also have leaders that support and feedback on how to effectively

work together. Proper communication with your co-members can help the group a lot. With

proper communication difficult situations can be easily finish. Understanding each other’s

side and listening to your members thoughts about the certain task can also help and build

relationship with your members that can help to finish the task faster and avoid further

problems.
 Recommendation

Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, the following recommendation are

offered:

For the students who will help them learn to function in a team environment so that

they will have teamwork skill when they enter the workforce. Teamwork is produced when

all the individuals involved harmonize their contributions and work towards a common goal.

The benefit of group work is learning openness to critique, which is essential for healthy

working relationships.

For the teachers whose facing with the reality of hectic schedules, lesson plans,

parents’ meetings and constant time crunches so this research will be very helpful to them

because this will help them work as a team, they delegate tasks according to the personality

and expertise of each one of them. This type of teamwork contributes to a greater sense of

trust and accountability, and it allows teachers to feel confident about contributing their most

dynamic skills toward school improvement.

For the College students who will help them develop their skills in teamwork “For no

man is an island”. This will help them strengthen their application about teamwork and will

help them bring people together from different backgrounds and levels of experience.

Consequently, projects involving teamwork also provide opportunities for professional

development and learning.

For the telecommunications companies because it will help them for efficient

teamwork to exist, a team needs to have clear and attainable goals, through which team

members can feel accomplished and motivated. Teamwork is important in an organization

because it provides employees with an opportunity to bond with one another, which improves
relations among them. Teamwork increases the accountability of every member of the team,

especially when working under people who demand a lot of respect within the business.

For the Bureau of Fire and Protection because the cornerstone of the fire service is

teamwork, which is evident in every aspect of the profession from training exercises to the

most involved incident of our time. Firefighters are typically divided into companies (engine,

ladder, rescue, hazard man) working rotating shifts and without this teamwork, there will be

negative effect to the team and their work would not be successful.

For the Academic Institution who will help them to have effective teamwork among

the school staff because it is very important to ensure the smooth running of school. It shows

that the school has a common purpose, and this will help them to achieve the targets and

provide the support required for a great learning environment for pupils and colleagues. As

no person can be good at everything and working in a team provides a great opportunity for

the school staff to learn for each other’s skills and talents.

To the Music Industry, they can gain learning from this research because each team

needs music enthusiasts that will develop their abilities in playing musical instruments and in

sharing their skills. As a matter of fact, people that have work in a team can really encounter

arguments and disagreement with each other and so this will help them to get everybody on

the same page that can lead them to unity.
