Title
Assessment beyond the individual: A scoping review on measuring interdependent performance in collaborative environments
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
Individual assessment disregards the team context of clinical work. Team assessment dissolves the individual into the group. Neither assessment is sufficient for medical education, where we require measures that attend to the individual trainee while accounting for their interdependence. This study aimed to identify existing approaches to measuring interdependence.
Methods
Following Arksey & O'Malley's methodology, we conducted a scoping review in 2020. A search strategy involving six databases located >11,000 citations. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts, screened full-texts (n=131), and performed data extraction on 26 included articles.
Results
Seventeen of the 26 articles were empirical; 9 conceptual with empirical illustration. Seventeen were quantitative; 9 used mixed methods. The articles spanned 5 disciplines (Education, Psychology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Biology) and various application contexts, from online learning to sports performance. Only two articles were from medical education. Articles conceptualized interdependence of a group, using theoretical constructs such as collaboration synergy and temporal dependence; of a network, using constructs such as degree centrality; and of a dyad, using constructs such as synchrony and cumulative experience. Both descriptive (e.g., social network analysis) and inferential (e.g., multi-level modelling MLM) measurement techniques were employed.
Conclusion
Efforts to measure interdependence are preliminary and scattered across disciplines. Multiple theoretical concepts and inconsistent terminology may be limiting programmatic work. However, the literature reveals the potential of measurement techniques such as MLM and efforts that combine multiple measures. With only two studies in medical education, application and adaptation of existing approaches to the clinical training context requires further study.
