Factors influencing nursing student satisfaction in aged care placements: An Australian cross-sectional study

AimThis study aimed to investigate factors influencing nursing students’ satisfaction with aged care placements. BackgroundProviding positive clinical experiences in aged care is crucial for students to learn safe, quality care and to foster a sustainable workforce. DesignCross-sectional study MethodsNursing students in nursing degrees participated in the national placement evaluation survey. A total of 2378 responses were extracted from the national clinical placement evaluation survey in 2023. Using multinomial logistic regression, demographics, academic, placement characteristics and placement education quality (clinical environment and learning support) were investigated in relation to three different levels of students' overall satisfaction (low, moderate, high). ResultsStudents reported overall satisfaction with their clinical placement, with a mean score of 7.9 (SD=2.1) on a 10-point scale. While most students agreed that they had achieved their learning objectives (90.0 %), they reported limited opportunities to interact with the multidisciplinary team (80.0 %). Further, students reported a relatively negative experience with staff, such as willingness to work with students (78.9 %) and being positive role models (78.9 %). Comparing the low satisfaction group to the moderate satisfaction group, male gender, identifying as an indigenous student and higher academic years increased the odds of being ‘least satisfied’, whereas international students, whose first language was not English and those with higher perceived placement education quality scores had lower odds of low satisfaction group membership. Conversely, compared with the moderate satisfaction group, those with the highest satisfaction with their clinical placement had a greater odds of being older, an international student and having higher scores in placement quality for the clinical environment and learning support. This model predicted 58.7 % of students' overall satisfaction. ConclusionsPositive learning experiences in aged care may promote the importance of practice in this area to new graduates. Despite students’ overall positive satisfaction with aged care placements, it is clear there are areas to address: a need to develop a structured approach to enhance aged care clinical experiences, progressive development of learning objectives, enhancing student career preparation and increasing participation in interprofessional collaboration may be useful approaches.

Model for motivating learners with personalized learning objects in a hypermedia adaptive learning system

<span lang="EN-US">A number of weaknesses were demonstrated in the E-learning platforms during the Covid-19 pandemic despite the efforts invested. This has negatively influenced learners' motivation and consequently their performance. With the proliferation of technology and the revolution of information and communication technologies (ICT), learning objects have become new epitomes widely used, accessible, and implemented with educational resources and technological support. The integration of learning objects into E-learning has enhanced educational progress, but during critical periods, it is crucial to ensure pedagogical continuity and learner motivation. Based on this observation, we will propose architecture of a personalized learning object model in the context of an adaptive hypermedia learning system (AHS). The objective of our model is to increase the motivation factor which is a determining element in the success of E-learning, our model aims to improve the performance of the learners in order to avoid the abounding of learning and to promote the attendance of the learners. This will be useful later for any design or development of learning objects in hypermedia learning systems that are adaptive to the needs of the learners and in line with their preferences and profiles throughout the learning process offered by the system. </span>

Analysis of Domain Addressed and Subdivisions of Anatomy Emphasized in Spotting Stations in Anatomy Part of First Professional MBBS Examination

Introduction: Assessment of any educational program should implement purpose of the learning objectives. Learning objectives are prepared with the help of several models such as SOLO (Structure of observed learning Outcomes) taxonomy, Bloom’s Taxonomy etc. The most commonly used classification system is “Bloom’s taxonomy to develop learning objectives” which describes the domains of educational objectives and divides the domains into three categories a) cognitive domain b) psychomotor domain c) affective domain. Objectives: To observe the domains of the questions of soft part-portion of Spotting stations to fulfill the learning objectives set by the curriculum in Anatomy professional examination in the background of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The research also tries to find out the subdivisions of Anatomy preferred more and regions of Gross Anatomy more emphasized in soft part-portion of Spotting stations. Methods: This cross sectional study held in the Department of Anatomy in Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) from August 2015 to December 2018. Data (questions of soft part-portion of Spotting stations and ‘answer key’s) are collected from seven different medical colleges affiliated under Dhaka University. A total fifty-two day’s questions with ‘answer key’s are taken for the study from the first professional examination held on May 2013 and May 2014. For the purpose of the study each question is divided into ‘Item’, ‘Part’s and ‘Segment’s. Moreover verbs of the segments are then analyzed in the form of ‘statement’, ‘list’ and ‘single name’ and Anatomy is subdivided into Gross Anatomy, Histology and Developmental Anatomy. Result: A total 774 items, 1571 parts, 2048 segments are analyzed. The verbs used to address the levels of cognitive domain in the questions reveals that ‘identification’ is mostly (76.62%) used in supplied figure followed by radiology (52.05%) model (41.89%) viscera (38.82%) and dissection (24.95%) stations. ‘Statement’ mostly used as verb by dissection (37.28%) and minimum in supplied figure (11.6%) stations. Similarly ‘list’ is mostly used in viscera (23.14%) and ‘single name’ is mostly used verb in dissection stations. Maximum (89.2%, 92.47%, 90.54% and 81.82%) questions are asked from Gross Anatomy subdivision in viscera, radiology, model and in supplied figure stations respectively. In case of viscera stations about one third (34.62%) and one fourth (25.62%) questions are from the thorax and abdomen proper respectively and around 15% questions cover pelvis, (10.54%) head neck, (12.34%) and brain (16.88%) respectively. Nearly half (46%) of the figure station use supplied figures as a ‘tool’. Maximum (39%) figures are used from brain where supplied figures are used as a ‘tool’ and no figure used from lower limb. When instructed to ‘draw and label’, 50% are from region of brain and less than 20% from other regions. Conclusion: From the findings it can be easily perceived that though Spotting examination is part of practical examination but in our country but it mainly involves in assessing factual knowledge of Anatomy which can hardly meet the demand of the objectives set by the curriculum.

Chalk Talks for the Clinical Setting: Evaluation of a Medical Education Workshop for Fellows.

Chalk talks are effective teaching tools in the clinical setting. However, data on optimal strategies for teaching medical educators how to develop and deliver them are limited. We designed and implemented two 50-minute workshops to help subspecialty fellows across GME create and deliver a chalk talk. The first workshop comprised a demonstration of an effective chalk talk and a discussion of best practices for creating chalk talks; the second was a practice session where fellows presented their chalk talks and received feedback from faculty and peers. We evaluated pre- and postworkshop confidence in the ability to create and deliver a chalk talk and develop learning objectives. Secondary outcomes were faculty and peer evaluations of the chalk talks. Eighteen of 33 participants (54% response rate) completed both pre- and postsession surveys. Fellows reported improved confidence in their ability to create a chalk talk (22% vs. 83%, p < .001), deliver a chalk talk (17% vs. 83%, p < .001), and develop well-written learning objectives (11% vs. 83%, p < .001). After the workshop, participants were more likely to correctly identify a chalk talk that made use of an advanced organizer (67% vs. 89%, p < .05). Thirty-eight faculty and peers completed feedback evaluations of participants' chalk talks; most rated fellows' chalk talks highly in domains of content, delivery, design, learning objectives, and engagement. The incorporation of these workshop within a course on medical education can effectively develop clinical teaching skills among subspecialty fellows in GME.

A 10-Step Process to Align Problem-Based Learning With Accreditation Expectations for Self-Directed and Lifelong Learning.

Self-directed and lifelong learning (SDLL) skills are essential skillsets in both undergraduate and graduate medical education (UME and GME). Hence, medical schools' accreditation bodies emphasize the requirements to acquire these skills in their accreditation standards. For example, in the United States, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) clearly defines the components of the SDLL process in Element 6.3 of Accreditation Standard Six. Among the active learning pedagogies, problem-based learning (PBL) provides ample learning opportunities where SDLL skills are effectively applied. The aim of this article is to streamline the process of developing, delivering, and evaluating PBL sessions in line with the SDLL accreditation requirements through a 10-step design and implementation process. Our 10-step process, detailed in the article, starts with developing learning objectives that inform the content of the PBL case and the required embedded learning triggers. The process carefully addresses the components of the SDLL process and other aspects of the accreditation needs within the framework of PBL. The approach to implementation, feedback, assessment, and evaluation is explicitly described to meet the regulatory expectations. In addition to the essential role in UME and GME, SDLL skills are vital requisites for continuing medical education of all physicians. Instilling this skillset early in medical students helps to cultivate their ability to apply these skills in their future professional roles. Using accreditation standards as a foundation for creating learning experiences, for example, PBL, requires careful content development and sequencing. Such a process needs explicit standardized steps that should not only be feasible, but also transferable for usage by different medical schools. Our streamlined 10-step process of designing and delivering an SDLL-oriented PBL experience can easily be adopted by other medical schools to address the SDLL skills acquisition as well as meeting the accreditation requirements.

Development of Gerontological Learning Objectives to Enhance Nursing Educational Curricula.

Many nursing schools are challenged to provide adequate gerontological education to students despite the enormous benefits to students' careers and society. This project developed student learning objectives to be used by nursing faculty to facilitate enriched gerontology courses and program curricula. The project team drafted a comprehensive list of nursing student learning objectives based on the 2020 Canadian Gerontological Nursing Association Standards of Practice and Competencies and included relevant supportive references. Subsequently, 20 gerontological nurse experts reviewed the learning objectives through a modified Delphi process via online Qualtrics surveys (two rounds). A total of 176 learning objectives were rated in round one for importance, measurability, feasibility, and interpretability; these were amalgamated to 47 learning objectives for review in round two. Thirty-three learning objectives were identified and validated that can be used by nursing schools to offer increased opportunities for gerontological learning. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(4):256-260.].

A structured pharmacy grand rounds (PGR) learning experience that incorporates all aspects of the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) continuing pharmacy education (CPE) development process for postgraduate year 1 and 2 pharmacy residents is described. Pharmacy residents at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center participate in a structured PGR learning experience as part of the residency completion requirements. Residents are involved in all aspects of educational activity development, including (1) conducting a needs assessment; (2) developing learning objectives; (3) implementing learning assessment methodologies; (4) constructing assessment questions; and (5) applying ACPE standards in the development of CPE activities. A team-based preceptor model focused on the unique attributes of the learning experience, comprising subject matter experts in content and educational best practices, is utilized to support the resident, provide feedback, conduct an evaluation, and ensure a successful experience. Key factors for success include resident instruction related to educational best practices, resources to exemplify the CPE development process, preceptor coaching, and guided self-reflection to identify areas of strength and improvement as an educator. A structured PGR learning experience that incorporates all aspects of the ACPE CPE development process enables pharmacy residents to understand and apply best practices for educational activity development. Utilizing a team of subject matter experts in educational best practices in collaboration with content experts allows for shared preceptor responsibilities and a successful experience for the resident.

Developing learning objectives for forensic accounting using bloom’s taxonomy

ABSTRACT This paper aims to identify and explore the learning objectives outlining the core knowledge for forensic accounting education. Bloom’s taxonomy is used to outline and analyze the core knowledge for forensic accounting education (e.g. fraud examination, litigation support, business valuation, and IT forensic accounting) in 15 Australian universities that provide forensic accounting courses. Furthermore, this paper applies a qualitative method to forensic accounting curricula, handbooks, and syllabi. These educational documents were retrieved from Australian universities. The findings report learning objectives under core content knowledge distributed over Bloom’s cognitive areas. This study also provides a unified set of learning objectives to harmonize forensic accounting courses’ teaching and learning processes. The most promising contribution of the paper is to provide a set of learning objectives in all forensic accounting subtopics. The main implications of this paper are relevant to forensic accounting educators, students, standard setters, researchers, regulators, and curricula designers.

Enhancing Learning Object Analysis through Fuzzy C-Means Clustering and Web Mining Methods

The development of learning objects (LO) and e-pedagogical practices has significantly influenced and changed the performance of e-learning systems. This development promotes a genuine sharing of resources and creates new opportunities for learners to explore them easily. Therefore, the need for a system of categorization for these objects becomes mandatory. In this vein, classification theories combined with web mining techniques can highlight the performance of these LOs and make them very useful for learners. This study consists of two main phases. First, we extract metadata from learning objects, using the algorithm of Web exploration techniques such as feature selection techniques, which are mainly implemented to find the best set of features that allow us to build useful models. The key role of feature selection in learning object classification is to identify pertinent features and eliminate redundant features from an excessively dimensional dataset. Second, we identify learning objects according to a particular form of similarity using Multi-Label Classification (MLC) based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithms. As a clustering algorithm, Fuzzy C-Means is used to perform classification accuracy according to Euclidean distance metrics as similarity measurement. Finally, to assess the effectiveness of LOs with FCM, a series of experimental studies using a real-world dataset were conducted. The findings of this study indicate that the proposed approach exceeds the traditional approach and leads to viable results. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-03-010 Full Text: PDF

National Planetary Health learning objectives for Germany: A steppingstone for medical education to promote transformative change.

Physicians play an important role in adapting to and mitigating the adverse health effects of the unfolding climate and ecological crises. To fully harness this potential, future physicians need to acquire knowledge, values, skills, and leadership attributes to care for patients presenting with environmental change-related conditions and to initiate and propel transformative change in healthcare and other sectors of society including, but not limited to, the decarbonization of healthcare systems, the transition to renewable energies and the transformation of transport and food systems. Despite the potential of Planetary Health Education (PHE) to support medical students in becoming agents of change, best-practice examples of mainstreaming PHE in medical curricula remain scarce both in Germany and internationally. The process of revising and updating the Medical Licensing Regulations and the National Competency-based Catalog of Learning Objectives for Medical Education in Germany provided a window of opportunity to address this implementation challenge. In this article, we describe the development and content of national Planetary Health learning objectives for Germany. We anticipate that the learning objectives will stimulate the development and implementation of innovative Planetary Health teaching, learning and exam formats in medical schools and inform similar initiatives in other health professions. The availability of Planetary Health learning objectives in other countries will provide opportunities for cross-country and interdisciplinary exchange of experiences and validation of content, thus supporting the consolidation of Planetary Health learning objectives and the improvement of PHE for all health professionals globally.

Standards of Building e-Learning Systems in Higher Education

At the beginning of the 21st century, virtual education has been positioned as an alternative modality, among other aspects, due to psycho-pedagogical advances and constant technological innovation. There has also been an exponential increase in educational proposals online due to the influence exerted by globalization and the increase in the use of information and communication technologies to provide educational services. Thus, virtual teaching and the development of learning objects represent permanent research phenomena in all disciplinary areas. Digital learning is characterized by the convergence of methods, technologies, applications and services aimed at sustaining learning via the web-portals. Therefore, online training considers as fundamental aspects for the learning development of skills in the management of technological platforms. It is also clear that online education is intended to penetrate the education market at all levels, and this is what also prompts reflection on the potential impact on education in the present century.

Multi-Label Classification of Learning Objects Using Clustering Algorithms Based on Feature Selection

In the field of online learning, the development of learning objects (LOs) has increased. LOs promote reusing and referencing educational content in various learning environments. However, despite this progress, the lack of a conceptual model for sharing suitable LOs between learners makes multiple challenges. In this regard, multi-label classification plays a significant role to make high-quality LOs, which can be accessible and reusable. This article highlights a new way of using learning objects based on Multi-Label Classification (MLC) and clustering algorithms with feature selection techniques. It suggests a new system that makes the most suitable choice among many alternative sources based on the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). The proposed algorithm has been tested on a real-world application dataset related to the data analysis service for the learning science community. The experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms the traditional approach and produces good results.

GAGASAN PENYUSUNAN RENCANA PELAKSANAAN PEMBELAJARAN INTEGRATIF ILMU UMUM DAN ILMU AGAMA DI MADRASAH

Madrasah educational institutions in addition to teaching subjects related to Islamic religious knowledge, also teach general science subjects. Both subjects are taught partially. This kind of learning process causes the erosion of Islamic characteristics as the main feature of madrasas. Efforts to integrate religious knowledge into general knowledge in the learning process in madrasas have become a hot issue in several countries. The realization of integrative learning requires the main supporting component, namely teaching materials. The teaching material that most determines how a learning process is carried out is lesson plans. This article was written to convey ideas about the preparation of an integrative lesson plan for general science and religious science. This idea was proposed as an effort to overcome the obstacles in integrating religious knowledge during the general science learning process in madrasas. Learning objectives are the most crucial element in integrative lesson plans. The development of learning objectives formulated in the curriculum is carried out by incorporating religious knowledge and or moral values that are in accordance with the related general science material. The next essential elements of RPP that must be integrated into religious knowledge are learning materials, learning activities, learning resources, and assessment of learning outcomes. The integration of religious knowledge in the five essential components of the lesson plan is believed to be able to realize learning designs with Islamic characteristics.
