This study aims to evaluate the impact of instructors' classroom team leadership approaches on students' motivation, communication, and collaboration. Designed as a quantitative study, the research was conducted with 182 associate and undergraduate students studying or graduated from universities in Turkey. Within the scope of the study, the effects of instructors' team leadership approaches on students were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The findings reveal that the team leadership approach of instructors positively influences students' motivation, communication skills, and collaboration competencies. Specifically, the results highlight the effective role of team leadership in enhancing classroom dynamics. These findings emphasize the importance of improving instructors' leadership skills to foster collaboration, effective communication, and increased motivation in students' learning processes. Furthermore, the study provides practical recommendations for designing training programs to develop instructors' leadership behaviors. The results demonstrate that instructors can enhance both individual and collective student success by exhibiting effective leadership in the classroom. In this context, the study is expected to offer both theoretical and practical contributions to the field of education.
