Table 5. Degree to which Members of Teams Created Using Seven Methods Shared Values and Interests.
| Method | Average Within-Team Distance | Average Within-Team Standard Deviation | Average Distance for Least Similar Team per Class | Average Distance for Most Similar Team per Class | Disparity | ES† |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SN_Cluster | 4.46 | 0.53 | 5.91 | 3.46 | 2.45 | 0.21 |
| SN_Prune | 4.31 | 0.55 | 5.45 | 2.98 | 2.47 | 0.18 |
| VI_Cluster | 3.94 | 0.60 | 5.80 | 2.77 | 3.03 | −0.77 |
| VI_Prune | 3.98 | 0.46 | 5.44 | 3.08 | 2.36 | 0.40 |
| ALL_Cluster | 4.39 | 0.56 | 6.44 | 3.47 | 2.97 | −0.70 |
| ALL_Prune | 4.34 | 0.54 | 5.86 | 3.12 | 2.74 | −0.30 |
| CF | 4.28 | 0.59 | 5.62 | 3.05 | 2.57 |
Note: The Values and Interests Distance score is the team average Euclidean distance, which consists of the distances for all team members summed across all 15 values and all 11 interests. A value of zero (0) would indicate that teammates gave identical answers to all 26 questions. The maximum Euclidean distance for any pair of students in this project is 10.198, which would occur if they expressed maximum disagreement on all 26 questions.
