Core story creation: analysing narratives to construct stories for learning.

Educational research uses narrative enquiry to gain and interpret people's experiences. Narrative analysis is used to organise and make sense of acquired narrative. 'Core story creation' is a way of managing raw data obtained from narrative interviews to construct stories for learning. To explain how core story creation can be used to construct stories from raw narratives obtained by interviewing parents about their neonatal experiences and then use these stories to educate learners. Core story creation involves reconfiguration of raw narratives. Reconfiguration includes listening to and rereading transcribed narratives, identifying elements of 'emplotment' and reordering these to form a constructed story. Thematic analysis is then performed on the story to draw out learning themes informed by the participants. Core story creation using emplotment is a strategy of narrative reconfiguration that produces stories which can be used to develop resources relating to person-centred education about the patient experience. Stories constructed from raw narratives in the context of constructivism can provide a medium or an 'end product' for use in learning resource development. This can then contribute to educating students or health professionals about patients' experiences.

Implementing the Flipped Classroom in a Veterinary Pre-clinical Science Course: Student Engagement, Performance, and Satisfaction.

There has been a recent move toward active learning pedagogies in veterinary education, with increasing use of a blended approach that incorporates both online resources and live classroom sessions. In this study, an established veterinary pre-clinical course in introductory animal health was transitioned from a traditional didactic lecture delivery mode to a flipped classroom approach with core content delivered online. This study compared the experiences of two cohorts of students who studied the same course in the different formats in consecutive years. Online learning resources included short video segments and a variety of short problems and activities. Online materials were complemented with weekly small-group case-based learning classes facilitated by academic staff. A mixed methods evaluation strategy was applied using student grades, surveys, and focus groups to compare student academic performance, satisfaction, and engagement between the two cohorts. The flipped classroom cohort achieved significantly higher grades in the written answer section of the final examination. Student satisfaction with learning resources was also higher in this cohort. However, satisfaction with other aspects of the course was largely the same for both cohorts. This study revealed some of the challenges associated with achieving adequate student preparation for class using online resources. The outcomes of this study have implications for veterinary educators considering the design and development of new online learning resources.

Supervision Of Nursing Students In Rural Environments: Engaging Learning By Teaching The Teachers

 The health profession workforce is challenged by the increased numbers of undergraduate students requiring supervised experiences in environments where service delivery is the primary goal. Given the increased need to recruit and retain suitably qualified and educationally prepared staff into these sometimes under resourced locations, guidance of health profession students, in particular students of nursing, in rural areas of Tasmania is a topical issue. This situation was acknowledged in 2010 when the Commonwealth Government’s Department of Health and Ageing sponsored a local project to increase the number of opportunities for students to undertake professional experience within non-traditional and rural healthcare settings. The project goals included identifying and acknowledging those healthcare professionals who supervised learners; providing guidance, mentorship and resources; and building capability and capacity in environments to host students. On project completion, further Commonwealth funding became available through Health Workforce Australia to continue the project aims. Over six years, an educational process focusing on the needs of rural healthcare professionals related to supervision and support of undergraduate nursing students was established. An evaluative approach enabled the use of Weimer’s personal accounts of change methodology to analyse and critique the application of developed learning and teaching resources. Initially resource development focused on current knowledge, skills and understandings of supervision of learners by health professionals in practice. From the findings, the scope of support broadened to include development and delivery of workshops to enable the supervisors of students to develop a pedagogical understanding of learning and teaching in healthcare settings. Evaluation suggested supervisors require guidance and mentorship related to the ‘how’ of learning and teaching. More specifically they wanted synchronous and asynchronous access to consistent and contemporary learning and teaching information in a timely manner. Given their geographic isolation, this educational support was delivered in a variety of innovative ways, including digital resources, online programs, videoconferencing and face-to-face learning opportunities. This paper outlines the processes and outcomes of developing a collaborative approach to increasing the capability and capacity of health professionals, in particular registered nurses, who choose to supervise undergraduate students during their rural workplace-based professional experience.

The Integration of Javanese Indigenous Knowledge in Biology Learning Resources Development

The student’s difficulties in learning and understanding Biology concepts are caused by the adoption of scientific phenomenon that not suitable with the environment they live in. Students who comes from the Javanese background sometimes find the Biology concepts hard to understand. Science content that comes from the West sometimes is not suitable with the student’s background, because the cultural and geographical background that underlining the science development are different. It can potentially cause the clash in constructing knowledge of students. The proportion of western knowledge and indigenous knowledge has to be balanced, in order to give the scientific rationale of the natural phenomenon that faced by students in everyday life. The ethnoscience experienced by student is still in the form of concrete experience as a result of the interaction with the nature. As one of the largest tribe in Indonesia, Javanese has many unique cultures that can be adopted in science classroom especially in Biology class. The role on ethnoscience in the context of developing Biology learning resources is to connect the science concept with the real world situation. By considering indigenous knowledge as one of learning resources, teachers can start to adjust the Javanese indigenous knowledge into the curriculum. This paper is literature review which will present the background, rationale, and procedure in integrating Javanese indigenous knowledge into Biology classroom as learning resources. The integration of Javanese indigenous knowledge in Biology learning resources development is necessary in order to connect the Biology concept into real situation.

Supporting young people's transition from children's to adult services in the community.

The Queen's Nursing Institute (QNI) is leading a project to improve young people's experience of transitioning from children's services to adult community health services. To gain an understanding of the current evidence, the QNI conducted a review of relevant UK literature from the last 10 years, focusing on community and primary care nursing. Despite the lack of evidence relating to effective practice in community and primary care settings, the literature search suggested that nurses could play a significant role in coordinating the transition process and working with the young person to prepare them for adult services. The review highlights that further work is required to translate current policy recommendations into practice, and the QNI will be supporting health and care professionals to improve transition by developing learning resources for district nurses, general practice nurses and educators, and promoting the sharing and application of best practice.

Students of today 'live' in a world shaped by the World Wide Web with its instant access to information and resources and range of technologies and social media . Following the university's digital strategy, this case study explores the choice of online learning tools that transformed its previously face to face class teacher focused layout to an engaging digital format. This case study outlines how the online tools and processes were chosen to meet the needs of the mature adult learners who are completing subjects in the Masters of Project Management (MPM). The curriculum transformation work required the development of digital learning resources, information communication technologies and new teaching strategies, to provide a more digital and responsive learning environment for students enrolled in the online course. The focus was on not only retaining students, but also ensuring that we were using technology to creating value and relevancy to our users.

Creating stories for learning about the neonatal care experience through the eyes of student nurses: An interpretive, narrative study

BackgroundStorytelling is an increasingly well recognised and valued platform to learn about the human experience within healthcare. Little is known however about how stories can enhance understanding in neonatal care, a specialised field offering rich opportunities for learning. This study focuses on the creation of stories based on the experiences of student nurses to inform teaching and learning strategies in the neonatal field. ObjectivesThe study aimed to create stories from the narratives of student nurses working within the neonatal field and identify what key themes for learning emerged in order to develop a storytelling resource to share experiences with their peers. DesignAn interpretive, constructivist approach was used to collect, analyse and create stories from student nurse's experiences, in line with narrative inquiry. ParticipantsSix pre-registration children's nursing students were selected by purposive sampling. SettingsInterviews were undertaken within six weeks following placement completion in an agreed location. MethodsNarratives were obtained by semi-structured interviews. Narrative analysis and core story creation was undertaken to construct stories and key learning themes emerged which provided the pedagogical basis for subsequent digital resource development. FindingsKey themes emerged relating to the insight and observances of student nurses and the neonatal journey they had experienced, including the nature of neonatal care, experiences of the neonate and parents, the environment and their own learning transition. Preliminary peer evaluation of the storytelling resource revealed storytelling as an interesting and novel approach to teaching & learning, learning from ones' peers, preparation for practice and a valuable insight into a new specialist area. ConclusionsThe study has value to teaching and learning by enabling an appreciation of how narrative can be used to portray the experiences of learners. Findings also support an approach to analysing narrative to create stories for learning and inform subsequent digital resource development.

Daugiakalbystė – puiku, bet ar tai tikrai mano reikalas? Austrijos ir Vokietijos mokytojų požiūris į daugiakalbystės didaktiką

Over the past few years, a number of concepts and multilingual pedagogical approaches for all language subjects have been developed that can be summarized under the umbrella term multilingual didactics. These approaches focus on cross-lingual skills and integrated language learning. The need arose because the established didactical concepts assumed a linguistically homogeneous group of students (monolingual habitus), whilst today’s schools are marked by an astonishing and growing linguistic heterogeneity. In this article we present the results of our review of twelve empirical studies that deal with a number of questions concerning how language teachers in Germany and Austria feel about multilingual didactics, the effectiveness of their training, and how they implement it into their teaching. The findings show that language teachers in Austria and Germany advocate a multilingual pedagogical approach. Nevertheless, they treat their multilingual classes like homogeneous monolingual ones. This can be explained by a number of reasons, the most important ones being a lack of professional development and appropriate course books in this area. As a result, a significant number of language teachers do not consider multilingual didactics as part of their responsibility; consequently, students’ experiences as speakers/learners of multiple languages are not taken into account. Based on these key findings, we derive recommendations with regard to the professional development of language teachers, teaching and learning resources, further research, as well as recommendations for practitioners and stakeholders.
