The Impact of Collaborative Testing on Teamwork and Collaboration in Nursing Students

Abstract

Teamwork and collaboration are inherent to the work of a nurse. In a post-pandemic nursing education world,
students need more opportunities to collaborate and work as a team.
Clinical and classroom strategies in nursing education are often group-based to help support development of
teamwork and collaboration skills. Testing is often omitted from being group-based but could be included as
a strategy to increase teamwork and collaborative skills. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect
of collaborative testing on teamwork and collaboration in nursing students. Post-implementation survey results
provided support for the continued used of collaborative testing as the overall outcomes were positive.
