Abstract

This chapter provides a brief overview of the science of teamwork and team training. We define common terminology review key concepts from the science of teams. We introduce a systems-based framework for the factors influencing team training effectiveness including the management of the curriculum, organizational and training environments, scenarios, performance measurement, feedback, and continuous improvement. We provide a discussion of key tasks that should be completed before, during, and after a team training activity in order to maximize the value of the team training program.
