Research and innovation can be measured, collaboration for research and innovation too (OECD 2005, 2010; Şerbănică 2011).
Specifically, it measured collaboration skills in five categories described in a way that is accessible to high school students: Contributing & Listening to Ideas, Sharing in Work Equally, Using Time Efficiently, Making Decisions, and Discussing Science (Supplemental Figure S1).
While interest in measuring collaboration has increased with access to collaborative Internet technologies, past efforts to develop models to assess collaboration have typically occurred in organizations addressing healthcare, business, or higher education (Thomson et al. 2009).
It then examines tools designed to measure collaboration and teamwork within general health care contexts.
Other ways of measuring collaboration (i.e., at the function level instead of at the file level) or other types of collaboration (i.e., reviews, bug fixing, etc).
Despite these unique assessment challenges, the pressure to rigorously measure collaboration among residents and their interprofessional teams is mounting.
To collect the primary outcome measures collaboration has been set up with a neurovascular research laboratory at Western University.
Unfortunately, among published instruments measuring interprofessional collaboration, the instruments with the most robust validity evidence measure collaboration of the team as a whole rather than at the individual level [ 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 19– 219.
Scientific collaboration was promoted in the classroom on a regular basis with the use of a Group Collaboration rubric (Supplemental Figure S1) and the corresponding reflection, designed to measure successful collaboration skills, such as sharing ideas, distributing work, using time efficiently, and decision making.
Models were evaluated by their ability to produce subscales that (a) suggested three or more items for retention on a subscale, (b) had salient item factor loadings, (c) displayed internal consistency of items, and (d) exhibited theoretical and conceptual clarity of factors and items for measuring interprofessional collaboration.
The ERNA (European Recoil mass separator for Nuclear Astrophysics) collaboration measured, for the first time, the total cross section of 12C16O by means of the direct detection of the 16O ions produced in the reaction down to an energy of Ecm = 1.9 MeV.
