Abstract

![CDATA[Introduction/Background: Poor teamwork in healthcare has negative consequences for patients and staff. The TeamUP rubric is a teaching and assessment tool used to support and evaluate students learning teamwork skills. The rubric was developed from a published generic rubric and is organised into five domains; project planning, team environment, facilitation, conflict management and individual contribution Purpose/Objectives: To strengthen validity of the TeamUP rubric. Modified Delphi technique using a survey (either face-to-face, telephone or online) to seek expert opinion on content validity of the TeamUP rubric. The approach was based on Pophams work and the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. After the first Delphi round (n=6) the rubric was revised. Rubric version 2 was evaluated by newly recruited participants (second round, n=26). Another cohort of participants is being recruited to evaluate Rubric version 3 (third round). Once the revised rubric is finalised, all participants will be invited to give follow-up validation comments. Issues/Questions for exploration or ideas for discussion: To what extent do experts agree that the TeamUP Rubric is a valid assessment of the content and construct of teamwork? Participants 32 professionals (from any field) with recognised expertise in communications and teamwork. Quantitative analysis of yes/no responses to criterion validity will yield a content-validity index. Qualitative analysis of comments will form construct-related evidence of validity. Results: Two major revisions have been undertaken prompted by expert responses. Examples of expert suggestions and researcher responses will be outlined, eg a conceptual overlap between rubric domains was identified and resolved. Initial student evaluation (a separate research project) is in agreement with these revisions. Conclusion: Implications for practice Once this evaluation is complete the students, educators and healthcare professionals can be assured that the Team-UP rubric is a validated measure of individual student teamwork skills which can be used with confidence in the university setting.]]
