As educators, we realize that the quality of a child's education can not be measured solely by scores on standardized reading and math tests, which by their nature do not assess students» conceptual thinking, their ability to do research and to
evaluate and defend ideas, their skill at written and oral expression, or their success
in collaborative or teamwork
settings.
Abstract: Background: There is a need for tools by which to
evaluate the beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes that underlie interprofessional socialization and
collaborative practice
in health care
settings.
