Multicultural Student Group Work: A Case Study of Exploration of Constraints Felt by Students

This study aims to examine the constraints on group work of multicultural students in higher education and the differences between students from different cultural backgrounds in and how they perceive the importance of dealing with obstacles in group work. The survey was used with 19 items with 141 students as respondents at different levels at Pakuan University. Students were asked to fill out a questionnaire with a Likert scale (from 1 to 5) about the importance of facing certain obstacles in group work. Constraints for students in groups were analyzed using a scale centered on cross-sectoral and cultural-related constraints in multicultural group work identified in the exploratory factor analysis. Test analysis using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed based on individualist cultural dimensions. The results showed that students' cultural background (individualist-collectivist dimension) influenced their perception of the importance of facing obstacles in group work.
