Students' Behavior in the Learning Process Using Zoom Meeting Media: Problems and Solutions

Recent digital technologies have increased the flexibility of learning. Online learning is now seen as a good alternative, not a force anymore. Among all online learning media that can aid, Zoom is an interactive online learning media mainly used by lecturers to carry out synchronous learning processes when offline lectures cannot be carried out. Using Zoom, lecturers and students can interact synchronously, like face-to-face learning in class. Many studies have been conducted to see the impacts of online learning on students’ learning behaviors using various media, yet studies on how students behave while learning using Zoom have not yet been explored in more detail. This research aims to reveal how students behave in the learning process by using Zoom in English classes through a survey study. Data were collected through a questionnaire delivered online to some 142 English Department students of Universitas Negeri Padang who experienced online learning. They voluntarily took part in this survey. Carrying quantitative analysis, the research showed that most students did not follow the Zoom-mediated learning process as well as they did face-to-face learning, which was carried out offline, for various reasons. Several positive and negative behaviors were found when implementing the learning process using Zoom. Therefore, for the learning process to run well, it is necessary to agree on the ethics of the learning process by using Zoom. The findings of this research can provide a reference for making conventional ethics of online learning using Zoom or other media.

A Smartphone Resource for Just-in-Time Medical Student Teaching by Emergency Medicine Residents.

Objectives Previous studies have shown that residents play an important role in the education of medical students in the clinical setting, but the busy environment of the emergency department (ED) poses a challenge to the effective teaching of medical students by emergency medicine (EM) residents. Tocombat this, this study relies on just-in-time teaching, which refers to the application of teaching efforts specific to a particular moment, in this case, a clinical case or procedure. Building on studies showing that just-in-time teaching can improve education despite time constraints, as well as data showing that practitioners and trainees increasingly use apps for diagnosis and education, the objective of this project was to determine whether a free open-access medical education (FOAM) smartphone application (app) is feasible and improves the quality and frequency of resident teaching of medical students in the emergency department. Methods We created a smartphone app-based teaching resource that was available to residents and students on shift. We taught residents and medical students how to integrate the app into their workflow. We performed an observational pre/post-studydesign by surveying residents' and students' pre- and post-teaching app introduction to determine self- and student-reported teaching frequency and quality. Outcome measures were self-reported teaching frequency and quality of teaching. Results Ten of 17 residents (59%) reported using the app at least once per shift. Among them, six of 10 (60%) reported that it increased their teaching frequency, and eight of 10 (80%) reported that it increased the quality of their teaching. There was an increase in the number of residents with positive perceptions of the availability of evidence-based teaching resources on the shift from pre-intervention (five residents) to post-intervention (14 residents, p = 0.01); however, we were otherwise unable to identify any significant differences in residents' or students' perceptions of teaching after implementation of our intervention. Conclusion Just-in-time teaching of medical students by residents using a smartphone app is feasible, as evidenced by the majority of resident respondents reporting that they used the teaching app at least once per shift. Residents reported an improvement in teaching frequency and quality. The study is limited by a small sample size and a single-site design with a pre/post design. Further studies with a focus on qualitative feedback and objective measures of learning are needed to assess whether there is an impact on medical student instruction by residents when using this app-based teaching resource.

Unveiling the Apathy: Understanding the Causes of Student Disengagement in Student Governance

This study delved into the causes of student disengagement in any form of student-based governance of the University of Cebu College of Arts and Sciences Department's Student Body Organization (CAS-SBO) during the academic year 2023-2024. A descriptive phenomenological research design was employed, exploring participants' experiences in student governance, how these experiences influence their lack of total disengagement and the strategies that could revitalize their engagement and active participation in the said area. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with twelve students selected via linear snowball sampling, focusing on those with prior governance experience who did not participate in recent CAS-SBO activities. Thematic content analysis revealed nine emergent themes: (1) Lack of Connection, Inequality in Representation, and Faculty Intervention as essential experiences in student governance; (2) Student Unfamiliarity, Feeling Unrepresented, and Unmet Expectations as reasons for disengagement; and (3) Inclusive Activities, Addressing Electoral Disparity, and Empowered Leadership as potential strategies to increase engagement. Based on these findings, the study recommends regular CAS-SBO general assemblies, teambuilding exercises, leadership seminars, and the election of representatives for each degree program to foster more vital student involvement and improve representation. The study also suggests future research topics, including electoral system reforms and former CAS-SBO presidents' experiences.

Stratégie de suivi des patients dans un centre SOS main universitaire labellisé FESUM-Intégration des étudiants de 3e cycle : une étude prospective

Introduction: FESUM (Federation of Hand Emergency Services) is a European network of hand emergency centers (called SOS hand centers) in France, Belgium and Luxembourg. The FESUM network includes 64 SOS Hand centers in France. In our university hospital, the FESUM-certified SOS hand has been part of the plastic surgery department since 2001. It has included, since 2016, postgraduate students (“residents‿) training in hand surgery who participate independently in the patient follow-up. The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of this population of patients with hand injuries and their satisfaction with this mode of follow-up. The secondary objective was to study the characteristics of the patient population treated by our center.Material and method: We conducted a study on the follow-up of patients undergoing emergency hand surgery, prospective, single-center, declarative, anonymized, between May and October 2021 at the SOS main center of our university hospital at the “SOS Main‿ intern consultation. The demographic data, the main characteristics of the pathology, the elements of initial care and follow-up of the patients as well as their satisfaction were analyzed, as well as the satisfaction of the interns.Results: We included 323 patients. The population of patients treated generally corresponded to a young man, manual worker, who was initially treated in an outpatient department or in an SOS Hand consultation. The lesions most often represented were fractures (24%), tendon wounds (18%) and wounds without damage to noble tissues (16%). Follow-up consultations took place mainly 15 days after the emergency intervention, lasted on average 10 minutes and did not present excessive delays. Patient (91,2 %) and post-graduate student (87,2 %) satisfaction was high. However, post-operative physiotherapy follow-up was insufficient, as was self-rehabilitation.Conclusion: The integration of post-graduate student in a university plastic surgery department into the care of SOS Hand patients seems beneficial for all those involved, and for their training. The characteristics of the follow-up consultations by the intern in autonomous supervision corresponded to the high quality standards of the FESUM. The patients showed a high satisfaction rate. Better valorization of this consultation in “Office Surgery‿ should be considered.

E-portfolio utilization in medical school clinical practice: assessing satisfaction and learning advantages.

This study aimed to investigate the difference in satisfaction and learning benefits between e-portfolios compared to paper portfolios during clinical practice in medical schools. Utilization of and satisfaction with e-portfolios among 40 third-year medical students in the medicine department of Ajou University School of Medicine was collected using an online survey in December 2020. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an analysis of variance. Students perceived that e-portfolios were highly beneficial for consistently documenting activities during clinical practice, when compared to paper-based portfolios (mean±standard deviation [SD]=2.60±1.22). However, the least rated aspect was that e-portfolios require less time than paper-based portfolios (mean±SD=1.80±1.14). Additionally, among the various clinical practice courses using e-portfolios, the highest satisfaction was observed with the fewest content items in the e-portfolio. To maximize the potential benefits of e-portfolios, improvements in implementation and usability are essential. Additionally, for effective utilization of e-portfolios in clinical practice, it is necessary to clearly define students' required competencies and ultimate goals, and structure content accordingly.

The Impact of Incorporating Texts from Nahj al-Balagha of Imam Ali (Peace Be Upon Him) on the Academic Achievement of Fifth-Year Literary Students in the Subject of Arabic Rhetoric

No researcher or observer of the current state of Arabic language instruction in our schools can overlook the weakness of our students in this subject. Our students struggle with reading correctly, writing accurately without errors, and expressing themselves with precise and eloquent language. Additionally, they have difficulty understanding the meanings of literary texts and uncovering the imagery within them. This observation is supported by numerous scientific studies that have pointed to the weakness of students in the Arabic language, compounded by the continued use of traditional teaching methods, which have led to a lack of interest in learning the subject (Al-Rubaie, 1989). The study by (Al-Ubaidi) further confirmed a clear weakness among high school female students, especially in Arabic rhetoric. The issue of weak Arabic language skills is not confined to high school students; it extends to students in education colleges as well. Al-Jubouri's study revealed that the overall state of the Arabic language, particularly grammar, is distressing, reflecting the inability of Arabic language department students to master linguistic skills, especially syntax. Given all this, it has become natural for the Arabic language to drift away from everyday speech, and its rhetorical applications have become difficult for learners to comprehend, making it challenging for students to grasp its beauty and eloquence. Moreover, other reasons prompted the researchers to conduct this current study, including feedback from those who found the idea intriguing and believed it could motivate female students towards their lessons. Furthermore, there is a scarcity of studies that have explored teaching rhetoric by employing texts from Nahj al-Balagha by Imam Ali (peace be upon him). The researchers agree with opinions that attribute the majority of the problem to the aforementioned reasons. Therefore, the researchers have employed texts from Nahj al-Balagha in teaching Arabic rhetoric, hoping that this will be a small contribution to the larger goal of making this subject easier to teach
