Design of an interdisciplinary training program for interprofessional collaboration in health and social services in patient partnership: contribution of an empowering approach reinforced by instructional design

Interprofessional education (IPE) has been a key area of research and teaching practice for the past twenty years in both university and practice settings in the health sciences and social psychology. IPE training opportunities arise when students from multiple health professions interactively learn together about interprofessional collaboration and how to improve care outcomes for the community at large. It has been proven that the design of care is of higher quality when healthcare professionals understand each other's respective roles, facilitating their communication and teamwork. However, this type of pedagogical approach to interdisciplinary training is fraught with problems, such as communication barriers, synchronization of schedules and logistics, as well as the compartmentalization of professions, which can lead to prejudice despite the educational efforts made. What's more, these courses are attended by large cohorts of initial university trainees, and their pedagogical design may lack authentic anchors, thus diminishing the ability of individuals to mobilize interprofessional collaboration in care partnerships. This article proposes a theoretical model based on an enhanced capability approach, including the use of pedagogical design for student success, to design this type of training by overcoming.

Urban treescapes as everyday workplaces and knowledge battlegrounds: Lessons from Bangkok, Thailand

Urban greening expertise and programs are pursued and circulated globally to enhance urban livability and sustainability, but the outcomes are often mixed and are accompanied by side effects. Drawing on the concept of “worlding,” this paper examines the processes and outcomes of a training program that introduced tree climbing techniques from overseas to reduce the aggressive pruning practices by the municipal workforce in Bangkok, Thailand. Steered by Thai civil society organizations (CSOs) and international arborists, the training program was supported by the city government and local forestry experts. However, the outcomes were limited. A variety of temporal, logistical, and place-specific factors (including traffic, weather, size and accessibility of trees), constrained the applicability of the introduced techniques for pruning street trees in Bangkok. These crucial urban contextual factors were neglected in the training program design due to knowledge conflicts between the “civic experts” and “lay practitioners,” which undermined the potential of the training program. Illustrating urban treescapes as everyday workplaces and knowledge battlegrounds, this paper argues that aspirations for world-leading expertise might hamper the expression of tacit knowledge that stems from and coordinates with a specific urban context. The conclusion highlights the importance of inclusivity to achieve successful transnational circulation of greening expertise and broader urban transformative attempts involving global knowledge exchange.

Exploring Perceptions toward Emotional Intelligence in Chilean Construction Using a Qualitative Approach

This study aims to analyze the perceptions of construction experts in the Chilean construction industry regarding emotional intelligence. This exploratory and qualitative study is based on data collected through semi-structured interviews with construction professionals. The collected data were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis (QCA) technique to leverage how emotional intelligence (EI) is perceived by professionals in Chilean construction projects. A review, coding, and categorization were carried out within each transcribed interview, which allowed the elaboration of coding dictionaries and corresponding frequency tables to identify emerging topics. Our main results indicate that interviewees perceived EI as a tool to help them face the problems in Chilean construction projects. According to the interviewees, the benefits of implementing EI training are mainly the socio-emotional development and the transfer of critical skills to confront the challenges related to workers’ interactions. The main barriers are related to the work culture, lack of awareness of EI among construction workers, economic interests, and gender factors. The literature points to limited studies on understanding emotional intelligence in the construction sector, particularly in South America. This study contributes to responding to the need to explore and provide knowledge on emotional intelligence in the construction sector in the context of a South American country. This study contributes to exploring and understanding how EI is understood among workers in Chilean construction projects. In practicality, construction managers may use our findings to design training programs that leverage EI to improve the management of construction projects.

Assessing Motor Variability during Squat: The Reliability of Inertial Devices in Resistance Training.

Movement control can be an indicator of how challenging a task is for the athlete, and can provide useful information to improve training efficiency and prevent injuries. This study was carried out to determine whether inertial measurement units (IMU) can provide reliable information on motion variability during strength exercises, focusing on the squat. Sixty-six healthy, strength-trained young adults completed a two-day protocol, where the variability in the squat movement was analyzed at two different loads (30% and 70% of one repetition maximum) using inertial measurement units and a force platform. The time series from IMUs and force platforms were analyzed using linear (standard deviation) and non-linear (detrended fluctuation analysis, sample entropy and fuzzy entropy) measures. Reliability was analyzed for both IMU and force platform using the intraclass correlation coefficient and the standard error of measurement. Standard deviation, detrended fluctuation analysis, sample entropy, and fuzzy entropy from the IMUs time series showed moderate to good reliability values (ICC: 0.50-0.85) and an acceptable error. The study concludes that IMUs are reliable tools for analyzing movement variability in strength exercises, providing accessible options for performance monitoring and training optimization. These findings have implications for the design of more effective strength training programs, emphasizing the importance of movement control in enhancing athletic performance and reducing injury risks.

Comparison of Lower Extremity Alignment among Taekwondo Athletes of Various Subdisciplines.

Background and Objectives: Studies analyzing lower extremity alignment (LEA) LEA among taekwondo subdisciplines athletes are lacking. This study compared LEA in the dominant and nondominant legs intaekwondo athletes. Materials and Methods: Twelve measurements of LEA were analyzed for 157 athletes (63 sparring, 50 demonstration, and 44 poomsae athletes) registered with the Korea Taekwondo Association. LEA was measured in the standing, supine, and prone positions using alignment application, a goniometer, a bubble inclinometer, a height gage, and a palpation meter. Results: The analysis revealed that the dominant leg of poomsae athletes showed greater genu valgum alignment than that of sparring athletes (p < 0.01), whereas the dominant leg of sparring athletes showed greater rearfoot varum alignment than that of demonstration athletes (p < 0.01). Furthermore, the nondominant leg of poomsae athletes showed greater genu valgum alignment than that of sparring and demonstration athletes (p < 0.01), whereas the nondominant leg of sparring athletes showed greater rearfoot varum alignment than that of demonstration athletes (p < 0.01). In addition, demonstration athletes had better forefoot varus alignment than poomsae athletes (p < 0.01). Conclusions: This study revealed that LEA characteristics vary among taekwondo athletes according to their subdiscipline. The results of this study would help in designing training programs tailored to each subdiscipline that would best address their LEA characteristics and help to prevent injuries.

Upper and lower limb impact loading during artistic gymnastics foundation floor tumbling skills

AbstractThe floor apparatus is associated with the highest rate of injury for male and female gymnasts in training and competition. This study aims to determine the magnitude of the upper and lower body impact loading when performing foundation floor tumbling skills and sequences. Fourteen sub‐elite artistic gymnasts (male, n = 9; female, n = 5) performed eight tumbling skills and sequences while wearing four inertial measurement units (IMU; upper back, lower back, forearm, and tibia). The peak resultant acceleration (PRA) during all ground contacts was calculated. The forearm and upper back PRA were analyzed for hand contacts, while the lower back and tibia PRA were analyzed for foot contacts. Descriptive statistics (median and inter‐quartile range), Wilcoxon signed‐rank tests and Friedman's ANOVA were calculated between IMU positions and gymnastics skills. Distal IMUs (forearm and tibia) recorded significantly higher loading than proximal IMUs (upper and lower back) for all ground contacts. Proximal IMUs experienced dampening due to shock attenuation properties of the human body, as these positions are located further away from the impact site. Additionally, some foundation skills exposed gymnasts to higher loading when the skill was performed separately, while other skills exposed gymnasts to higher loading when the skill was performed in a tumbling sequence. Training foundation skills separately and as a part of a tumbling sequence exposes the upper and lower body structures to high levels of impact loading. These results can be used by coaches to help in the design of safe training programs.

Practice With Less AI Makes Perfect: Partially Automated AI During Training Leads to Better Worker Motivation, Engagement, and Skill Acquisition

The increased prevalence of human-AI collaboration is reshaping the manufacturing sector, fundamentally changing the nature of human work and training needs. While high automation improves performance when functioning correctly, it can lead to problematic human performance (e.g., defect detection accuracy, response time) when operators are required to intervene and assume manual control of decision-making responsibilities. As AI capability reaches higher levels of automation and human–AI collaboration becomes ubiquitous, addressing these performance issues is crucial. Proper worker training, focusing on skill-based, cognitive, and affective outcomes, and nurturing motivation and engagement, can be a mitigation strategy. However, most training research in manufacturing has prioritized the effectiveness of a technology for training, rather than how training design influences motivation and engagement, key to training success and longevity. The current study explored how training workers using an AI system affected their motivation, engagement, and skill acquisition. Specifically, we manipulated the level of automation of decision selection of an AI used for the training of 102 participants for a quality control task. Findings indicated that fully automated decision selection negatively impacted perceived autonomy, self-determined motivation, behavioral task engagement, and skill acquisition during training. Conversely, partially automated AI-enhanced motivation and engagement, enabling participants to better adapt to AI failure by developing necessary skills. The results suggest that involving workers in decision-making during training, using AI as a decision aid rather than a decision selector, yields more positive outcomes. This approach ensures that the human aspect of manufacturing work is not overlooked, maintaining a balance between technological advancement and human skill development, motivation, and engagement. These findings can be applied to enhance real-world manufacturing practices by designing training programs that better develop operators’ technical, methodological, and personal skills, though companies may face challenges in allocating substantial resources for training redevelopment and continuously adapting these programs to keep pace with evolving technology.

Characterization of STEM teacher education programs for disciplinary integration: A systematic review

STEM education is established as an alternative for developing 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; century skills, with the premise of integrating its component disciplines. Although numerous studies exist on the subject, STEM teacher training programs are not widely discussed. Therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted in Scopus and Web of Science to identify the intentions of the training and the design and implementation of such teacher training programs. Among the 15 articles identified, there are three groups of intentions: Improving knowledge, developing competencies and skills, and changing attitudes and perceptions. Five methodological strategies were identified: project-based learning, problem-based learning, collaborative learning, ODR (observation/discussion/reflection) approach, and design-based learning. Disciplinary integration can be achieved through content or competencies. It is concluded that design-based learning is the most appropriate strategy for disciplinary integration. It is recommended that research be conducted to measure the impact of modality and time of training on the development of STEM competencies.

Supporting Preschool Children’s Resilience at Basic Daily Context: Parents’ and Teachers’ Views in Selected Kindergartens in Greece

Aims: This paper aimed to shed light on the understanding of the concept of ‘risk and resilience’ by young children’s main caregivers (parents and kindergarten teachers), as well as to explore and compare their perspectives on the daily applied strategies to develop and promote children’s resilience at home and school respectively.&#x0D; Study Design: A qualitative approach was chosen in order to evaluate parents’ and kindergarten teachers’ beliefs, experiences and attitudes towards ‘resilience’ through semi-structured interviews.&#x0D; Place and Duration of Study: The study conducted in Greece and the whole procedure from design to data analysis and report writing lasted eight months (from January to August 2023). &#x0D; Methodology: 17 mothers of preschool children (3.5 to 5.5 years old) and 16 kindergarten teachers who worked in public kindergartens from different regions in Greece participated in the study, selected by a convenience sampling. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data from the participants’ responses to the interviews.&#x0D; Results: Mothers and kindergarten teachers recognized risk and stressors in children development. Their discrepancy was that teachers emphasized the importance of risk factors in the family such as neglect, abuse, divorce, financial problems etc., while mothers referred more to child individual (e.g. disease, cognitive disability) or socio-cultural factors (e.g. crisis, bulling, internet addiction). They both seemed adequate enough to capture the essential features of the concept ‘resilience’ such us “positive adaptation after a threat or adversity”. As concerned the strategies to support children’s resilience both kindergarten teachers and mothers considered that they could serve as positive role models for promoting resilience. They put first their relationship/ bonding with the child as well as the interactions between the two contexts (family-school). They adopted appropriate practices (e.g. discussion, story reading, social scenarios, expression support) to achieve their goals mainly related to socio-emotional learning/ development. &#x0D; Conclusion: The conclusions were hoped to have major implications for parents and teachers, suggesting that they can be used for the design of training or intervention programs focusing in enhancing children’s resilience and to guide principles and policy decisions that influence the field of early education.
