Abstract

Abstract: Collaboration competence is a must for citizens in the 21^st century. Stressing the importance of developing students’ collaboration competence has far-reaching implications. As a composite of a series of skills and attitudes, collaboration competence can be further classified into three subskills: the ability of identifying common goals and values, the ability of taking shared responsibility and the ability of communicating and negotiating for a win-win situation. In this model, identifying common goals and values is the starting point of a collaborative activity and taking shared responsibility plays a central role in the process, while communicating and negotiating for a win-win situation provides an effective means to achieve common goals. These three subskills complement and integrate with each other. Collaboration competence can be developed through school education and the development process should be designed in a scientific manner. Present and future studies on collaboration competence in China should focus more on how to develop and assess students’ collaboration competence in the Chinese context.
