The findings indicate that university teachers play an effective and significant pedagogical role in designing the collaborative work model that assigns group work in their respective classrooms with the various careers they supervise. Additionally, the findings show that the teacher fulfils the social role of motivating students by performing as a tutor in the classroom. Therefore, it has a positive and significant effect among university students. This has implied that the formation of working groups in university students generates student leaders and demonstrates broad knowledge in communication and information technologies which will generate many expectations in their professional training.
