However,research on how teachers can thrive in their profession in the changing higher education environmentis limited. This study investigated the experiences of teachers in managing pedagogical innovationwhen working as a team and implementing integrated competence-based learning modules. Strengthfocusedconcepts like collective efficacy and resilience were used to extend the understanding of thephenomenon. Five teacher teams were analyzed in relation to the change itself, as well as toprotective and risk factors that had an impact on teachers’ collective efficacy and resilience to thechange. The data consisted of group interviews and individual questionnaires collected during theprocess. The findings indicate that stronger collaboration creates significant changes in teachers’work and students’ learning, and success is based on teacher teams’ capacity to craft their commonwork practices.
