PURPOSE: We devised and examined the reliability and validity of a trial version of the TEAM-P2016v rubric designed to evaluate the teaming process of university students participating in cooperative learning. METHODS: The subjects were 69 second-year nursing students, who were evaluated by three raters. The observational method using the trial rubric was implemented in group exploration-based cooperative learning settings in August 2016. The students were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire. RESULTS: The inter-rater reliability intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.792, the generalizability coefficient (G coefficient) was 0.8197, the alpha coefficient of reliability found by categorical principal component analysis of internal consistency was 0.882, and the correlation matrix coefficient ranged from 0.473 to 0.840, all of which met reference values. The criterion-related validity was used as a reference value to confirm the correlation coefficient between student self-evaluation scores and other scales (0.241—0.413). CONCLUSIONS: Despite residual issues with criterion-related validity, the TEAM-P2016v trial version was considered applicable as an evaluation index of teaming process performance.

The aim of this research is to learn the thoughts of mothers during child rearing and to discuss preventive measures for postpartum depression. The subject of this research is 763 comments on " postpartum depression " posted on a website operated by Benesse Corporation. The analysis was performed using KH Coder. Among the written terms, the occurrence rates of the top 50 words were compared by coding rule file for each age and type of employment. The result, by generation is " basic living behavior ( χ² = 10.58, p < 0.01) ", " social life behavior ( χ² = 12.88, p < 0.01) " and " childbirth behavior ( χ² = 9.07, p < 0.05) " , and the highest values were shown for the subjects in their twenties in each item. In terms of employment form, it was " social life behavior ( χ² = 9.65, p < 0.01) " , which was highest in part-time workers. From the analysis of co-occurrence networks, it turned out that mothers felt stress from relationships with child rearing supporters, their child's crying and their own insomnia. From the above, it was suggested that prevention measures for postpartum depression need to be taken for improving their child-rearing environment and resting their mind and body.
