Teamwork skills are essential information technology professional skills, yet undergraduates exhibit reluctance to engage with group work, especially in professional groups. This study investigates student perceptions about their individual culture and teamwork culture on their undergraduate final year's degrees. Although students understood the importance of developing teamwork skills for their future, they don't make a connection between their individual skills and their teams' skills. Working in teams during laboratory sessions, projects and informal study groups is important for developing teamwork skills in IT students. The authors developed a study based on the data obtained through an online survey. Their aim is explaining how students' background, engagement in learning teamwork, teamwork self-efficacy and interest in learning teamwork affect attitudes toward teamwork. Attitudes 465 IT students toward teamwork, teamwork interest and teamwork self-efficacy of students who attend the same academic program were compared. Challenges of teamwork in classes may adversely affect students' future attitudes toward teamwork. Further, there is a concern about whether IT undergraduate programs foster students' teamwork skills. To answer these questions, the purpose of this paper is to analyze students' auto evaluation toward their individual culture, interest in learning teamwork skills and teamwork self-efficacy. The study will contribute to the body of literature regarding teamwork in educational setups as a pedagogical method and can be further used in studies dealing with teamwork in companies as well.
