團隊組成與訓練方式差異對競賽學習成效之影響――以「2014年兩岸校際國際貿易展覽模擬競賽」之參賽隊伍為例

The Effects of Various Team Training Backgrounds on the Effectiveness of Competition-based Learning: A Study of Teams Participating in the 2014 Cross-Strait Intercollegiate International Trade MICE Simulation Competition

隨著台灣會展產業的逐漸成長，各大專校院亦逐漸設立相關科系及學程培育會展人才，而各類會展相關競賽亦逐年增多。各大專院校培訓會展相關科系學生團隊參加各項會展競賽，期望能夠從中達到學習效果。本研究期望瞭解在跨領域合作參賽與否、訓練方式不同情況之下，對會展競賽之競賽學習是否會有影響。針對「2014年兩岸校際國際貿易展覽模擬競賽」之參賽隊伍抽樣調查，對照比較參加同競賽之四個群組，『大陸參賽隊伍』、『台灣跨領域團隊』、『台灣單一科系團隊』、『以RD System循環訓練團隊』。探討整體參賽過程，並以問卷調查，針對背景不同的四個群組參加競賽之學習成效做一評估。評估結果證實相較於單一科系團隊，跨領域團隊在各項能力之學習成效上均較顯著。而四群組中『以RD System循環訓練團隊』相較於其他群組成效最為顯著。團隊組成與訓練方式差異確實對競賽學習成效會造成影響。

The gradual development of the meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions (MICE) industry in Taiwan has prompted various colleges and universities to establish departments and programs for cultivating MICE talents. In addition, the number of MICE-related competitions has increased every year. Students in MICE-related departments at colleges and universities have formed teams to participate in such competitions, expecting to learn through the process. This study aimed to ascertain whether the involvement of interdisciplinary cooperation and various training methods would influence learning facilitated by MICE competitions. We extracted samples from the teams that participated in the 2014 Cross-Strait Intercollegiate International Trade MICE Simulation Competition and compared four groups of teams (i.e., Chinese teams, Taiwanese interdisciplinary teams, Taiwanese single-department teams, and teams trained cyclically using RD System) to examine the overall competition process. Subsequently, we conducted a questionnaire survey to evaluate the effectiveness of the competition on the learning of the team members based on their diverse backgrounds. The results of the assessment confirmed that the learning performance of interdisciplinary teams was better than that of single-department teams. The learning performance of the teams trained cyclically using RD System is significantly better than that of the other three teams. To conclude, how a team is composed and trained indeed has an impact on the effectiveness of competition-based learning.
