Abstract / Excerpt:

In the academe, project based subjects require a lot of energy, time, patience and man power to accomplish project objectives. That is why, student group formation in these subjects are important and critical, because an individual cannot work well if his or her group mates aren't capable of working together as a unit -- because of deficiencies, such as lack of skills, training, or interest on the subject area or motivation. Heterogeneity is also important in group formation. This study adapts a mathematical approach which increases goodness heterogeneity or groupings and the Bees Algorithm, to form three-manned teams per class. The results of this study have reaped more heterogeneous groupings as automated further. It is concluded that the study would be used as a decision making tool.
