Education in focus: Significant improvements in student learning and satisfaction with ophthalmology teaching delivered using a blended learning approach.

This study aimed to measure student satisfaction with a revised ophthalmology delivery format, which due to the pandemic had previously relied on a remote online flipped classroom (OFC) format compared to a blended learning format. This educational strategy combined online learning with in-person seminars and practical patient centred sessions. Our previous investigations demonstrated a significant lack of student satisfaction with a curriculum solely reliant on a remote OFC, as such we hypothesised that a blended learning approach would result in improved levels of student satisfaction and knowledge gain. Non-randomised intervention study of two groups; group 1 = OFC group and group 2 = BL group, compared perspectives of 4th year ophthalmology students using a validated course evaluation questionnaire (CEQ). A total of 59 students from the BL group (n = 257; response rate = 23.0%) and 28 from the OFC group agreed to participate in the study (n = 114; response rate = 24.6%). Participants in the BL group felt it was easier to determine the standard of work that was expected (77.42% v 60.71%) and demonstrated significantly increased satisfaction with staff motivation of students (95.16% v 64.29%, p <0.001) and provision of feedback (74.19% v 46.43%, p = 0.004), compared to the OFC group. Furthermore, students in the BL group also felt the course significantly improved their analytical skills (64.52% v 42.85%, p = 0.023) and ability to work as part of team (69.36% v 25%, p <0.001) as well as reporting reduced dissatisfaction with the level of choice afforded in terms of how they would learn (33.88% v 60.71%, p = 0.31) and the how they were assessed (59.68% v 89.28%, p = 0.004). No evidence of a statistical difference in exam score was observed. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an unavoidable pivot to online and distance learning, to meet the challenges presented by government mandates and social distancing requirements. Since many of these directives have been reversed, it is important to evaluate the effectiveness and learner perceptions' of the online and distance learning interventions. In this study we demonstrated a significant student preference for BL compared to the OFC approach, with comparable student performances determined by MCQ examinations. Our findings suggest a preference for reintroducing in-person and patient engagement activities in post-pandemic health professions education.

Exploring the pros and cons of online courses for physiotherapists — a theoretical study

Physiotherapy, as a constantly evolving discipline, requires professionals to continually update their knowledge base to enhance patient care. To facilitate this growth, lifelong learning through supplementary educational courses plays a crucial role. The flexible online education has opened new opportunities for adult learners, including physiotherapists, to pursue further education while managing their daily commitments. This paper examines the conceptual framework of online learning in the context of physiotherapy education. It explores the advantages and disadvantages of online courses compared to traditional classroom methods. Online education is classified into three primary types: synchronous, asynchronous, and blended or hybrid courses. Synchronous courses involve real-time interaction with teachers, while asynchronous courses allow learners to access materials at their own convenience. Blended or hybrid courses combine online learning with face-to-face instruction. Advantages of online courses include accessibility, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, diverse learning resources, and the opportunity to build a global professional network. On the other hand, online courses lack continuous communication and interaction between teachers and learners, potentially hindering the learning experience. Learners must possess strong digital skills and self-study capabilities to succeed in online education.The study concludes that the choice between traditional and online education depends on specific course objectives and participant expectations. Regardless of the mode of education, the active participation and engagement of learners are crucial for professional success. As the field of physiotherapy education continues to evolve, ongoing research and innovation are vital to improve the overall learning experience and ensure optimal outcomes for lifelong learners in the healthcare field.

Measuring Student Adoption of Digital Platforms for Distance Education among University Students in Malaysia

A discipline of education known as distance education or distance learning focuses on the pedagogy, technology, and instructional system design that successfully delivers education to students who are not physically "on-site" to get their education. Instead, they can exchange written or electronic materials asynchronously (at times of their choice) or synchronously (in real-time) using technology. A hybrid or blended course or program combines online learning with on-site attendance for any reason, including completing exams. Since then, colleges have used remote learning in conjunction with modern information technology to expand their market outside their immediate surroundings. Therefore, this study was performed to measure student adoption of digital platforms for distance education among university students in Malaysia. This study uses primary data collection with self-administered questionnaire development. The sample size is 100 students which represents the population of students that registered for distance education programs. The underpinning theory for this study is the Information System Success Model (ISSM). There are three independent variables: information quality, system quality, and service quality. According to the findings, information quality, system quality, and service quality, all have a positive and substantial impact on the intention to adopt digital platforms for distance education. This work will benefit academics, decision-makers, and system designers by providing useful implications for generating appropriate methods and building successful and practical ways to develop the online learning system of distance education.

Fuzzy Decision Rule-Based Online Classification Algorithm in Fuzzy Formal Decision Contexts

Formal concept analysis (FCA) extracts interpretable rules by using implication relationships between concepts, which is an effective method for acquiring knowledge. In this paper, a fuzzy decision rule-based online classification algorithm called OFRCA is designed by combining online learning theory and FCA in a fuzzy formal decision context. First, the original weight vector of all attributes is obtained by fusing the original deterministic decision rules. Second, incremental fuzzy decision rules are obtained according to the added objects. Then for the incremental fuzzy decision rules, OFRCA updates the weight vector based on minimizing the loss function. At the end of the process, all the rules are fused into an attributeweighted classifier with the final weight vector. In this paper, we employ the regret to obtain a learning guarantee for OFRCA. The growth rate of OFRCA's regret converges to 0 as the number of iterations increases in the ideal state, which provides an effective learning guarantee for OFRCA. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, this paper conducted numerical experiments and systematically analyzed the experimental results, which demonstrated that OFRCA achieved the highest advanced classification performance among the compared algorithms.

Mental health knowledge and classroom experiences of school teachers in Aragon, Spain.

Research shows that many mental disorders begin in childhood but are sometimes not diagnosed until later years. School-age children spend much of their time in schools and have daily interactions with school teachers. Examine school teachers' experiences of mental disorders in school going children and adolescents and their associated mental health training needs. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with teachers in Infant-Primary and Secondary Education-Baccalaureate schools. A convenience sample of 685 teachers responded to the online survey. Participants worked in both urban and rural areas and in Infant-Primary and Secondary Education-Baccalaureate schools. Over half of participants reported classroom experiences of learner mental disorders such as ADHD, anxiety, conduct disorders or autism. Most participants acknowledged a training need, both in recognition of symptoms of mental disorders and in care resources and processes. However, 80% of respondents reported having not received any training in this regard. Participant preferences for training included face-to-face or hybrid - combined online learning. Participants also considered the management of their own mental health to be deficient, therefore any training should incorporate personal mental health awareness and self-help strategies. In Aragón (Spain), teachers of children and adolescents with mental disorders, recognize a need for training in the identification of symptoms and other aspects of mental healthcare, such as availability and access to services. Protocols for early identification and referral would promote mentally healthy school environments and reduce stigma which could be a barrier to timely intervention. In addition, any training should include mental health self-care for teachers.

Evolving Software: Combining Online Learning with Mutation-Based Stochastic Search

Evolutionary algorithms and related mutation-based methods have been used in software engineering, with recent emphasis on the problem of repairing bugs. In this work, programs are typically not synthesized from a random start. Instead, existing solutions—which may be flawed or inefficient—are taken as starting points, with the evolutionary process searching for useful improvements. This approach, however, introduces a challenge for the search algorithm: what is the optimal number of neutral mutations that should be combined? Too much is likely to introduce errors and break the program while too little hampers the search process, inducing the classic tradeoff between exploration and exploitation. In the context of software improvement, this paper considers MWRepair, an algorithm for enhancing mutation-based searches, which uses online learning to optimize the tradeoff between exploration and exploitation. The aggressiveness parameter governs how many individual mutations should be applied simultaneously to an individual between fitness evaluations. MWRepair is evaluated in the context of Automated Program Repair (APR) problems, where the goal is repairing software bugs with minimal human involvement. This paper analyzes the search space for APR induced by neutral mutations, finding that the greatest probability of finding successful repairs often occurs when many neutral mutations are applied to the original program. Moreover, repair probability follows a characteristic, unimodal distribution. MWRepair uses online learning to leverage this property, finding both rare and multi-edit repairs to defects in the popular Defects4J benchmark set of buggy Java programs.

ІНФОРМАЦІЙНО-КОМУНІКАЦІЙНІ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ В УМОВАХ ЗМІШАНОГО НАВЧАННЯ

The article considers important aspects of the introduction of information and communication technologies into the educational process of a higher educational institution. The use of modern ICT means allows teachers to significantly increase the volume of providing students with educational information, significantly expand the scope of managing their independent educational activities, and ensure a higher level of individualization and differentiation of education. The main advantages of ICT are revealed, including increasing interest and general motivation, individualization and activation of education, education of information culture. Taking into account modern trends in higher education, emphasis is placed on the combination of online learning, traditional and independent learning. When planning such types of activities, it is necessary to transform the usual types of classes into forms of interaction between learning subjects, which can be carried out synchronously and asynchronously. An explanation is given for synchronous activity, when everyone is connected at the same time, for example, a webinar, video conference, and asynchronous, when each participant in the process performs an activity at a different time, for example, a chat, a forum, etc. It was determined that the main task of a teacher in blended learning is the methodical design of one's own discipline as a sequence of actions, and the selection of the most effective model for the organization of blended learning. On the basis of pedagogical research, the main means and tools that ensure the quality of the organization of blended learning are singled out. One of the most suitable and easy-to-use tools for learning is the Google Meet service, which has a number of advantages: organization of video meetings, online classes with a large number of students and sufficient continuous work time; the possibility of demonstrating materials on the PC desktop during classes and seminars; planning classes in advance and linking to a Google calendar. For establishing feedback with students, the Gooogl Classroom platform is quite effective, which allows you to organize mixed learning using video, text and graphic information. The teacher can conduct testing, monitor, systematize, and evaluate the quality of knowledge. It was concluded that a modern graduate of an educational institution should have the competence to use information technologies, that is, technologies designed by modern industry both in education and in everyday life. New information technologies give students access to non-traditional sources of information, increase the efficiency of independent work, provide new opportunities for creativity, finding and consolidating any professional skills, allow the implementation of fundamentally new forms and methods of learning

Genomics education for medical specialists: case-based specialty workshops and blended learning

Aim: To develop and evaluate genomics education programs for health professionals to expedite the translation of genomics into healthcare. Methods: Our co-design team of genetic specialists, expert medical specialist peers, and genomics educators developed two continuing genomics education programs for health professionals: stand-alone, specialty-specific workshops and a generic blended learning course, combining online learning with workshops. Both programs referenced adult learning theories; workshops included case-based learning and expert peer-led discussion. Longitudinal surveys evaluated changes in confidence and understanding of genomic testing processes and clinical practice. Results: We delivered eleven specialty workshops (414 attendees) and a blended learning course comprising four self-directed online modules (61 users) and workshops (71 attendees) for mixed-specialty groups with adult, pediatric, or oncology cases. Surveys (214 workshops; 63 blended) showed that both programs significantly increased confidence and understanding of genomic testing processes. Blended learning participants showed additional gains in confidence after attending a workshop following online learning. Workshop discussions with experts were valued, particularly regarding interpreting and applying results. At follow-up, gains in confidence and understanding were maintained for both programs and 81% of respondents had performed a new genomics activity in clinical practice. Conclusion: Scalable education is needed. Our results suggest that specialty-specific genomics education may not be required to meet the needs of multiple specialties across a health system. Online learning can meet foundational learning needs but may not be sufficient to apply learning to practice. Blended learning offers flexible, continuing education pathways for dispersed national audiences as genomics becomes increasingly used across varied specialties.
