Zur Förderung der digitalen Souveränität von Lehrkräften: Entwicklung eines Fortbildungskonzeptes zur Implementierung von KI im Fremdsprachenunterricht

Artificial intelligence (AI) has long since found its way into foreign language teaching. Teachers need to be aware of not only the opportunities and possibilities, but also the dangers, such as fake news and bias, when using AI in the classroom. To support teachers in this challenge, subject-specific, effective teacher training is required to enable them to use AI technologies confidently. As part of this, the Bremen sub-project of the BMBF-funded joint project 'Digital sovereignty as the goal of pioneering teacher training for languages, social sciences and economics in the digital world (DiSo-SGW)' is developing a concept for such training in a blended learning format. The project is empirically supported by a design-based research study as part of a doctorate. The design has already been subjected to an initial evaluation by means of a pilot project in which quantitative and qualitative survey methods were used. The learning processes of the participants were analyzed and based on this, lines of improvement were identified. The results of an individual interview and a group discussion are presented in this article.

Fortbildung ausgezeichnet: Die Didaktischen Pakete im Wandel

For many years, the Didaktische Pakete has been a popular concept in teacher training which was awarded with the Austrian State Prize for Excellent Teaching (Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research, 2022) in 2022. Relevant elements of the format were, for example, the discussion of current scientific findings, their transfer into school practice and the co-constructive processing of relevant topics in a cooperative working group. This paper uses a mixed methods approach to investigate how these elements can also be realised in blended-learning-design. On the one hand, the question of participants' satisfaction in general and with the implementation of the format in blended-learning was investigated and, on the other hand, satisfaction with the transfer of content, the management of communication and the organisation of learning was compared between face-to-face and blended-learning formats. For this purpose, 44 participants completed an online questionnaire on topics such as communication, content and organisational aspects and we interviewed eight participants and eight trainers. Despite the close connection between many quality aspects and face-to-face collaboration, blended-learning can be seen as a meaningful alternative, as barriers to participation are reduced and specific content can also be taught in an online setting.

Current concepts of high intensity interval training: a clinical commentary

Abstract Regular exercise produces a variety of physiological changes that improve exercise capacity and health, regardless of age, gender, or chronic illness status. Despite widespread physical inactivity due to time restrictions, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has evolved as a popular and time-saving strategy for strenuous exercise that improves physical fitness by increasing maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and muscle power. HIIT, which consists of brief bursts of intense activity at or near peak effort interspersed with intervals of rest or low-intensity exercise, causes a variety of physiological changes that improve exercise capacity and metabolic health in both clinical and healthy populations. Given the expanding scientific understanding and broad use of HIIT, this clinical commentary seeks to thoroughly investigate its definition, parameters, scientific foundations, multifarious benefits, and evidence across varied groups and situations.

UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO SOBRE A SOCIALIZAÇÃO DO HABITUS NA TRAJETÓRIA DE VIDA: UM OLHAR MAIS AMPLO PARA A FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES DE CIÊNCIAS

In recent years, debates around the world have sought to improve teacher training in science education. However, many of these discourses have emphasized market-based solutions, proposing the idea of “efficiency” and “flexibility”. On the other hand, the conception of science teacher training as a continuous process, throughout life, has been neglected beyond university studies. This is because the influence of this broader process on the socialization of teaching practice, reflected in the science classroom, is not absolutely clear. In this sense, the aim of this work is to understand the relationship between elements of the habitus of elementary school science teachers and their respective socialization processes throughout their lives, taking into account various social spaces. The theoretical and methodological background used was the theory of Pierre Bourdieu, his conceptions of the social practice of agents through the study of habitus and capitals. This research studied 16 science teachers (Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Science) from Brazilian elementary school. Characterized as a qualitative study, the research used a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, and the data was analyzed using Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA). The study identified significant patterns that reflect complex social dynamics, especially related to cultural and economic capital. There is a clear dichotomy between "banking" and "dialogical" approaches, influenced by the teachers' socialization experiences. Furthermore, gender socialization in the incorporation of science teachers' habitus dispositions is fundamental to understanding their social practice. The article also suggests areas for future research, including the influence of students on the socialization process and comparative studies between different educational and cultural contexts. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of formulating new dynamics in science teacher training programs to promote truly emancipatory teacher education.

Exploration of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Pharmacovigilance Among HealthCare Professionals: A Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: To ensure the safe use of pharmaceuticals and the detection of adverse drug reactions, it is essential to have an understanding of pharmacovigilance. Although India is running the Pharmacovigilance Program of India, still the spontaneous reporting rate is very low. There is a requirement to be aware healthcare professionals about the importance of pharmacovigilance. This study is conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacovigilance among healthcare professionals in the Northern region of Uttar Pradesh. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conceptualized by a Google forms-based questionnaire with 16 questions (08 of knowledge, 05 of attitude, and 03 of practice) a suitable means of assessing the essential knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacovigilance. The questionnaire was distributed among the healthcare professionals from March 2024 to April 2024. Result: 390 pretested questionnaires were circulated among healthcare professionals, and 332 of them were answered by the respondents i.e., the response rate was 85.12 %. Among all the respondents 63.25 % were males and 36.74 % were females. It was observed in this study that healthcare professionals have limited theoretical knowledge about pharmacovigilance. Despite a positive attitude toward the requirement of reporting adverse drug reactions, healthcare professionals showed less reporting practice. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals lack adequate knowledge and skill in reporting adverse drug reactions but have a positive attitude toward pharmacovigilance programs. Incorporation of adverse drug reaction reporting concepts in education curriculum, training, and voluntary participation of healthcare professionals in adverse drug reaction reporting is very crucial in achieving safety goals and safeguarding public health.

Reform and Considerations of the High-Quality Talent Cultivation Model for New Engineering Disciplines in Local Universities in China Empowered by New Productivity Forces

New productivity is based on digitization, intelligence, and greening, driven by disruptive technological innovation and centered on emerging and future industries, aiming to serve high-quality living through efficient and high-quality development. This new type of productivity continuously raises the standards and challenges for engineering science and technology, also posing higher demands on the education of new engineering disciplines. With the continuous emergence of new technologies, new economies, and new business models, the connotation and extension of the new engineering discipline have undergone profound changes, leading to a disruptive transformation in traditional engineering jobs and industrial chains. There is an urgent need to innovate and optimize the talent cultivation model for new engineering disciplines, aligning closely with the evolutionary laws of productivity and production relations in the new era. The development of new productivity poses new requirements for talent cultivation in new engineering disciplines, emphasizing innovation, a more integrated training model, a diversified subject base, and a dynamic development of goals and content. However, current talent cultivation models for new engineering disciplines still face challenges in several areas: unclear goal setting, weak interdisciplinary integration, slow transformation towards digitization and intelligence in education, and a lack of a scientific and comprehensive quality evaluation system. To address these challenges in the context of new productivity, it is necessary to promote reforms in the talent cultivation model for new engineering disciplines through the following approaches: integrating digitization, intelligence, and green development into the entire talent cultivation process; reshaping training concepts; breaking down disciplinary barriers to promote integration; continuously optimizing the training model; introducing virtual simulation and other auxiliary teaching technologies to create a collaborative model of student-teacher assistance in talent cultivation; deepening industry-education integration, and innovating cultivation mechanisms to contribute positively to the training of high-quality new engineering talents.

Mobilization training and mobilization as objects of public administration: theoretical and legal issues

The article, on the basis of a generalized analysis of encyclopedic and dictionary literature, retrospective and current legislation, individual opinions of legal scholars on this matter, outlines the features and formulates the concepts of mobilization training and mobilization as objects of public administration. In particular, a doctrinal definition of mobilization preparation as an object of public administration in the broad sense is proposed, according to which it is social relations that arise in the process of lawful application in peacetime by authorized subjects with a hierarchically structured management system of a set of consecutive measures that have a complex and multi-vector nature and which are carried out on the basis of general and special legal principles in order to prepare the national economy, state authorities, local self-government bodies, the Armed Forces, other military formations, as well as other subjects for timely and organized mobilization and meeting the needs of state defense and defense its territory from possible aggression, ensuring the livelihood of the population in a special period. In the narrow sense, mobilization training is a direct object of public administration as a procedural activity of authorized subjects. It was established that mobilization as an object of public administration in the broad sense is social relations that arise in the conditions of a special period in the process of implementation by authorized subjects on the basis of general, special legal principles and in compliance with the estimated needs of measures and tools, a complex and planned of a nature carried out with the aim of transferring the national economy, the activities of state authorities, other state bodies, local self-government bodies, enterprises, institutions and organizations to functioning in the conditions of a special period, and the Armed Forces, other military formations, civil defense forces - to the organization and states wartime Instead, in a narrow sense, mobilization acts as a direct object of public administration as a process of implementation by authorized subjects of measures and tools of a complex and planned nature, aimed at achieving a specific nature.

O wychowaniu żołnierskim w Dotzè llibre del Crestià Francesca Eiximenisa. Koncepcja, źródła, przekład fragmentów

Francesc Eiximenis, a Catalan polyhistor, Franciscan, and writer, left a significant mark on 14th-century literature in the Crown of Aragon. Well-educated in influential academic centres of pre-Renaissance Europe, he did not limit his treatises to religious matters alone. Instead, he explored a wide range of topics related to secular, everyday life. This paper examines one such theme: warfare, which was considered of prime importance during that time, and Eiximenis dedicated part of his most ambitious work, Lo Crestià (The Christian), to this subject. The paper consists of two parts: a translation of selected fragments from Dotzè llibre del Crestià (The Twelve Book of the Christian) and an introductory section, which discusses the style and sources of the text, as well as Eiximenis’ original concept of soldier training and its significance for the art of war. To facilitate analysis, the war-related portion of Dotzè (chapters 213 to 337) is herein separated and described as the Treaty on Military Affairs. This approach also highlights its strong reliance on ancient authors such as Vegetius (Epitoma rei militaris), Aristotle, and Ptolemy. The translation presented in the second part of the article is the first Polish version of the Treaty on Military Affairs’ fragments related to soldier training. The text consists of chapters 213, 217, and 222–227, accompanied by commentary notes that compare them to source fragments from Vegetius’ work, and explain passages that may pose challenges for contemporary readers. As there is no modern critical edition of this part of Dotzè, the basis for the translation is the incunabulum printed in 1484 by Lambert Palmart in Valencia.

The Translator is dead, long live the Translator!

Abstract Scientific progress, advances in human interaction and the evolution of artistic and technical expression have created new areas of study for Translation Studies. Researchers are faced with the challenge of responding to increasingly pressing questions that, in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), have implications not only for academic debate but also for the very concept of translator training. Far from sharing the alarmist predictions of certain theorists and didacticians, we propose to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of the new situation for researchers and future translation professionals.

Through pre-tests and training sessions, the concept's efficacy will be assessed and refined. In summary, this work offers insights into AI's transformative potential and regulatory hurdles in healthcare, paving the way for improved standards and practices.

Cultivation of Top Innovative Talents Leads the Formation of New Quality Productivity: Ideal Picture, Realistic Dilemma and Practical Way Forward

Top-tier innovative talents possess characteristics of innovation, leadership, sociality, timeliness, and openness, which meet the needs of the development of new quality productivity. Vigorously cultivating top-tier innovative talents is a key factor in leading the formation of new quality productivity. The cultivation of top-tier innovative talents generates the connotation of new quality productivity, and the formation of new quality productivity also influences the training concepts and quality structure of top-tier innovative talents. There is an inherent logic of two-way drive and mutual promotion between the two. With the acceleration of the current new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the cultivation of top-tier innovative talents leading to the formation of new quality productivity faces practical dilemmas such as the lack of future-oriented thinking in talent cultivation, insufficient coordination in the talent cultivation system, and a lack of diversity in the types of talent cultivation. It is necessary to take a holistic approach, focusing on integrating educational resources, incubating cross-border innovation, advancing human-machine cooperation, adhering to open training, and highlighting regional characteristics to continuously exert efforts, explore new paths for the cultivation of top-tier innovative talents, and lay a talent foundation for accelerating the formation of new quality productivity. aggressive behavior in older preschoolers has long been a nuisance to kindergarten teachers and parents, and it is a common yet difficult problem in society. This study recorded the proportion, context, and reasons for aggressive behavior in older preschoolers at the Tianfu New Area Experimental Kindergarten in Chengdu. Combining the physical and mental development patterns of older preschoolers, methods such as observation records and situational analysis were used. Through real confrontation, observation, analysis, and exploration, effective ways to reduce and correct aggressive behavior in older preschoolers were found, with the aim of helping teachers cope with such behaviors.

Peer teachers as ultrasound instructors? – a systematic literature review of peer teaching concepts in undergraduate ultrasound education

BackgroundAs ultrasound is one of the most utilized imaging procedures in clinical practice in Germany, its integration into undergraduate medical education is imperative. Thereby, the limited availability of qualified instructors is a major challenge. Peer tutors, who are trained to instruct their peers collaboratively, could resolve staff constraints. This systematic review explores the literature on peer teaching in undergraduate ultrasound education, aiming to provide an overview of methodologies, outcomes, and peer teacher training concepts.MethodsFollowing the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature review was conducted on the subject of peer teaching in undergraduate ultrasound education. Using PubMed and Google Scholar as databases, studies in English or German involving training concepts for peer teachers in undergraduate ultrasound education, published up to November 21, 2023, were included. Data extraction of original studies followed the PICOS schema with special respect to didactic concepts of peer tutor training programs and the effectiveness of peer teachers compared to faculty instructors. A modified version of the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of included studies.ResultsFinally, the search resulted in 20 relevant original studies, including 16 studies exploring peer teacher training concepts. Predominantly, peer teachers studied in their 4th year of medical school and on average one year further compared to their students. Peer teacher training was integrated into curricula by course-based concepts (93.8%) and internships (50.0%). Didactic modalities varied, encompassing laboratory rotations including the scanning of patients, the scanning of fellow students, lectures, and didactic training. The median training duration was about ten days. Of six comparative studies, five found peer-assisted learning to be comparably effective and one even better than faculty-led courses.ConclusionDespite the growing amount of literature underlining the effectiveness and wide application of peer teaching in ultrasound education, training concepts stay heterogenous without a standardized system for training and qualifying peer teachers. Developing comprehensive guidelines for peer tutor education could increase acceptance and recognition of peer-assisted learning and ensure minimum training standards.

Medicine for a Changing Planet: Online Clinical Cases in Planetary Health and Infectious Diseases

Abstract Planetary health and One Health have become key concepts in public health, scientific, and veterinary training, yet these concepts remain incompletely integrated into clinical medical education. Recognizing this gap, we created a free online curriculum called “Medicine for a Changing Planet,” geared towards training the next generation of health professionals in clinical skills to detect and manage the impacts of global and local environmental change on their patients. Using a case conference-style format familiar to medical trainees, we created 11 clinical case studies teaching both planetary health concepts and clinical competencies, leveraging Bloom’s Taxonomy. Here we describe the creation of these clinical cases, highlighting those centered on emerging infectious diseases that teach clinical skills related to the human-animal interface, globalization, and climate change. The online cases have been visited by over 4,000 unique users from 99 countries, piloted with residency and medical school programs, and made available for CME credit.

ПАРАДИГМАЛЬНО-ЗМІСТОВИЙ КОНСТРУКТ ПРОЦЕСУ ФОРМУВАННЯ ЗДОРОВ’ЯЗБЕРЕЖУВАЛЬНОЇ КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТІ МАЙБУТНІХ БАКАЛАВРІВ ФІЗИЧНОЇ ТЕРАПІЇ

The processes of reforming higher education in Ukraine have determined significant changes in the content of professional training for future professionals, aimed at developing their professional competencies. Therefore, changes in the paradigmatic level in contemporary higher education are related to changes in the basic theoretical concepts of professional training, implying the choice of the following forms, methods, and means that correspond to the conceptual core of the modern competence paradigm. The paper characterises the essence of the paradigmatic and content construct of health-saving competence of future bachelors of physical therapy, the functioning of which provides for the implementation of holistic, systemic, competence, activity, and environmental approaches as the initial theoretical and methodological foundations of the process of forming the health-saving competence of future bachelors of physical therapy, which should ensure the health protection and an appropriate level of physical therapy in the field of patient care in the future. Accordingly, relevant changes have to be made in the professional training process of future bachelors of physical therapy not only at the level of theory but also at the level of methods of such training. The four basic components of the studied phenomenon have been identified and described: value-motivational, cognitive-content, activity-process, reflective-behavioural, and there has been defined the criterion and indicator construct of their reflection in the levels of formation of health-saving competence of future bachelors of physical therapy, consisting of axiological, cognitive, technological and personal criteria and their indicators. The study proves that in the aggregate it contributes to the determination of self-assessment and self-improvement processes of formation of health-saving competence of future bachelors of physical therapy.

Temporal Action Localization for Inertial-based Human Activity Recognition

As of today, state-of-the-art activity recognition from wearable sensors relies on algorithms being trained to classify fixed windows of data. In contrast, video-based Human Activity Recognition, known as Temporal Action Localization (TAL), has followed a segment-based prediction approach, localizing activity segments in a timeline of arbitrary length. This paper is the first to systematically demonstrate the applicability of state-of-the-art TAL models for both offline and near-online Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using raw inertial data as well as pre-extracted latent features as input. Offline prediction results show that TAL models are able to outperform popular inertial models on a multitude of HAR benchmark datasets, with improvements reaching as much as 26% in F1-score. We show that by analyzing timelines as a whole, TAL models can produce more coherent segments and achieve higher NULL-class accuracy across all datasets. We demonstrate that TAL is less suited for the immediate classification of small-sized windows of data, yet offers an interesting perspective on inertial-based HAR - alleviating the need for fixed-size windows and enabling algorithms to recognize activities of arbitrary length. With design choices and training concepts yet to be explored, we argue that TAL architectures could be of significant value to the inertial-based HAR community. The code and data download to reproduce experiments is publicly available via github.com/mariusbock/tal_for_har.

Implementation of the Third Mission of the University: case of Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences

On the example of the activities of the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule des Mittelstands Bielefeld – FHM Bielefeld, Germany) as a key par­ticipant in the UNICOM project, the modern university’s implementation of its Third Mission – its fulfillment of its public purpose and observance of public responsibility – is considered. A comparative analysis of the four missions of a modern university was carried out, thanks to which the necessary relationship between them was re­vealed as an integral prerequisite for the successful functioning and development of a modern university. A modern university implements its Third Mission primar­ily in close interaction with communities and industrial communities – both local (primarily) and quite distant (additionally). At the same time, the university must find a balance between meeting the needs of different social groups, guided both by the principles of social responsibility and the interests of the university and these groups. FHM’s training concept is to be close to practice and compact in the transfer of knowledge. This concept is based on four essential characteristics: application-oriented, profiling, interdisciplinarity and internationalization. Four main organi­zations in the structure of FHM Bielefeld enforce the active networking of people, with the motivation and expertise to enable groundbreaking projects and solutions aimed to strengthen the innovation ecosystem of the city. Applied research and third mission are conceptualized in the steps of preconditions, activities, results and con­sequences. The third mission includes the implementation of a cooperation project with a civil society actor or the implementation of a continuing education program designed together with a company. The close interaction of universities with local communities is primarily aimed at ensuring the interests of university stakeholders from local civil society and should be based on academic virtues and values.

Research on the development bottlenecks and countermeasures of leisure football sports

To better promote the development of leisure football in China, this study employs research methods such as literature review and logical analysis, combined with the analysis of the national environment, to summarize the social and cultural value conflicts, insufficient exploration of humanistic connotations, low per capita resource possession, and high barriers to sports participation as the main constraints on the development of leisure football. It also identifies the prominent problems resulting from these constraints, such as the low ability to meet the needs of participants. The study proposes two major strategies to break through the bottlenecks in the development of leisure football and to address the prominent issues it faces: promoting school and social education and training to guide changes in social culture and demand; and improving educational training concepts and methods to adapt to the actual national conditions and social needs. It is suggested that the most effective way to guide changes in social culture and demand is through education and training, which includes school education and training led by government administrative operations and social education and training led by corporate market operations. The study points out that the key to improving educational training concepts lies in grasping two main points: improving the teaching methods of tactics and techniques, and strengthening the exploration of cultural connotations. The core of improving educational training methods is to introduce and promote modern educational technologies represented by audio-visual teaching.

The Challenges of Social Work for Practical Major Students at Times of Crises from the Perspective of Mentors

This paper examines the challenges, as reported from the professors’ perspective, faced by students in their field course of a baccalaureate social work program during the coronavirus pandemic. The paper also proposes improvements in the field training course for use in any future crisis. Furthermore, it aims to highlight the importance of field training for the students. Using a qualitative approach, researchers interviewed a sample of eight faculty mentors (3 men and 5 women) who taught and supervised students in the baccalaureate programs from the University of Jordan, Al-Balqa' Applied University, and Dhofar University. Study results show that students face numerous challenges, such as lack of communication between them and the supervisors in the field institutions, student dissatisfaction with the concept and implementation of online-training training, struggle in learning basic skills to handle certain intervention situations, and the difficulty of applying these skills remotely. Recommendation: Increased use of smart devices and digital platforms during field practice. The creation of new education materials that include visual elements that can be used more interactively in an online environment.
