Measurement of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Skills Related to Team Science in Interdisciplinary Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs)

• In Event: Collaboration, Structures, and Tools in Science Teacher Learning

Abstract

Collaboration in science has become a critical practice and is much more prevalent in industry and university courses than it was even a decade ago. In response to the increased emphasis on collaboration and team science, educators at all levels of the K-16 educational context have sought to create generative learning environments which leverage team practices. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the validity and reliability of a newly developed measure of TKAS related to team science implemented in an undergraduate research based interdisciplinary course setting. The overall study design was a non-randomized intact multiple administration design. Results of this study indicate that TKAS is a valid and reliable measure of the single construct known as team science.
