Abstract
This chapter goes beyond processes of interpersonal interaction and problem-solving to examine commentary claims and empirical research on the sharing and building of knowledge in groups or teams and its importance for collaboration. The following studies illustrate the range and complexity of social and cognitive processes and strategies involved in collaboration and their interaction with problem domain tasks and knowledge building. They connect team knowledge building to the structured CPS described in the previous chapters. They highlight the need for not just shared processes, but shared professional language to communicate in the problem domain and build shared mental models.
