“…In addition, Tucker and Abbasi (2016) in their study show that students prefer to work individually because of their negative teamwork learning experiences. Among the factors accounting for the negative teamwork learning experiences are the unequal workload contribution, poor engagement in group meetings and also the poor quality of work contributed (Tucker & Abbasi, 2016). Additionally, the dependence of a student when they first look at the work of another partner prior starting their design studio projects also influences the emotions and readiness of the student to carry out their tasks (Ibrahim, 2018).…”

There is an issue of architecture students in Malaysia public universities burdened with design studio project. A study from a sample of 217 students shows 50 percent are at high levels of burden proving that these architecture students are very burdened with the projects given during the semester while the other 50 percent are at moderate level. Therefore, the study aims to identify the problems of architecture student in carrying out design studio project and identifying the needs of the study in addressing this problem. Researcher used qualitative research approaches based on literature reviews and interviews conducted. The information is based on previous studies related to the field of research conducted by the researcher. In the interview process, participants involved in the study were three architecture students from two public universities in Malaysia namely IIUM and UTM. Based on the literature review conducted, it is important for the public to know the real situation of architecture students in Malaysia toward improving their mental health and to give a clear picture to the institution about the effects and consequences that the students have to bear if this mental health problem are silenced from public and considered unimportant. The Self-Management Model which is to be produced is vital as a reference for the students, lecturers and institutions in dealing with silent killer which is mental health problems.

“…Comparing the average of three factors, i.e. attitude toward teamwork efficiency (6.13), attitude toward teamwork (5.4), and attitude toward physician's role in teamwork (5.35), the minimum average belonged to the attitude towards physician's role (20). Henderson (2012) believed that experts were concerned about losing their autonomy/ independency during the work/task.…”

A Psychometric Property of the Attitudes Toward Health Care Teamwork Scale Among University Students

et al. 2018

Background: Teamwork improves self-reporting efficiency on inter-professional practice. It can also increase the self-confidence, awareness, and the ability of members to manage high-risk situations. The aim of this study was to translate and assess psychometrically the attitudes toward healthcare teamwork scale; adopted from previous studies. Methods: This cross sectional study consisted of 200 students who were recruited from the nursing and medical schools in Tehran. Convenience sampling method was used to select subjects. Initial instrument comprised 15 items with Likert type response. The impact score, content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR) were assessed and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to extract factors. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm the factorial structure of the questionnaire using SPSS (version 19) and Amos (version 23), respectively. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and test-re-test. Results: Eleven items were considered valid on the basis of impact score of more than 1.5, CVR above 0.62, and CVI above 0.7. The exploratory factor analysis deemed all the 11 items valid. With respect to the eigenvalue above one for each factor, three factors were extracted. This instrument had 55% of variance in the attitude toward healthcare teamwork scale. Conclusions:The results of this study are a suitable evidence on the strength of the factor structure and good reliability for the psychometric property of the attitudes toward health care teamwork scale. The results of this study can be used by education centers and institutes to assess student's attitudes towards healthcare teamwork.

“…In recent years, a growing body of literature aimed at enhancing group work experience and outcomes has emerged (Tucker & Abbasi, 2016). Espey (2010) found that attitudes to group work can change (even throughout a semester); other studies have shown that those who enjoyed group work had relationships built on trust, familiarity, and commitment to producing quality work and team cohesion (Ku, Tseng, & Akarasriworn, 2013; Tseng & Yeh, 2012).…”

Pedagogy in Health Promotion

Working in partnership with individuals, communities, and governments has been a core principle in health promotion and environmental health, and public health more broadly, since the development of the Ottawa Charter in 1986 and its subsequent declarations (Scriven, 2012). Competency in partnerships is a core professional skill internationally (Environmental Health Australia, 2014; International Union for Health Promotion and Education, 2016). The ability to form partnerships and collaborate with key business and industry and community partners is essential in public health. Teamwork and the ability to work collaboratively, across sectors, among various types of organizations, and in diverse settings, is a highly desired skill for entry-level health promotion or environmental health graduates (Hart Research Associates, 2010). It is surprising, therefore, that teaching teamwork and partnership building skills is not more evident in the literature. The skill set required to work in partnership is extensive and cannot reasonably be taught to students in a single course or two (Coleman & Lang, 2012). Partnership skill development occurs over time through opportunities to experience, reflect, and plan future action (Coleman & Lang, 2012. This article outlines an Australian undergraduate curriculum in public health that scaffolds partnership building across the entirety of the 3-year program delivered in mixed mode (distance and on campus). We first examine the benefits and challenges of teamwork and partnership building in an online environment. We then present the curriculum model we use to guide embedding partnership building across the program and to provide examples of how this is accomplished. Throughout this article, we argue that partnership building skills and knowledge need to be scaffolded over time to enable students to graduate and practice with confidence in initiating and nurturing effective public health partnerships. Literature Review Developing partnership skills and knowledge within a university context is primarily based on group work (collaborative learning) within individual courses. Many 776675P HPXXX10.
