Developmental review program impact on enhancing the effectiveness of 'Teaching and Learning' in accounting program: a case study in a Saudi University

Liberalization and globalization has opened up new and compelling challenges in the higher education section. Quality is invariably one of the factors that help educational institutions to remain relevant and thrive in the current highly competitive scenario, Quality in higher education is, as such, a hot topic and there is no paucity of literature in this regards. However, a fair review of the literature showed that there is scant literature about the impact of developmental review for enhancing of effectiveness of accounting program. The present work has attempted to bridge this gap in literature. The study has focused on Standard four – Education and Learning in the accounting program of a university in Saudi Arabia. The results of the study showed that there is profound positive impact of the developmental review towards the implementation of the requirements of standard four in the program. A few suggestions based on the study are also presented.

Legitimate educational interest and the health and safety emergency exception: Part 1

There are only three sections of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act regulations where the term legitimate educational interest is found. The first is 34 CFR §99.31(a)(2) — the school official/legitimate educational interest section. That section, as we know, permits school officials to disclose a student's education records, without the student's written consent, to another school official if a legitimate educational interest exists. This is the most commonly used exception to disclose without the student's written consent. As I've mentioned before, how could we, as school officials, get all of our work done if we had to get written consent before we disclosed, or discussed, any education records with other school officials?

Abstract: This research aimed at identifying the effectiveness of an enrichprogram based on the theory of cognitive apprenticeship for the development of cognitive achievement and awareness of thecontemporary issues of environment and the academic trend of the educational section students at the Faculty of Home Economics, Helwan University. To the end of verifying this, the following research tools were prepared: cognitive achievement test, environmental awareness scale, academic approach scale and a list of environmental issues related to home economics specialties. The validity and reliability of the research tools were verified and the proposed program was utilized as an enriching program in the teaching of the proposed scientific extracurricular activities that were selected based on the list of issues associated with the disciplines of home economics as a science applied for the would-be students teachers, and then making one’s mind to grow awareness leading to the deep understanding as the teacher is a model and an example for students in her professional life after graduation. The experimental descriptive approach and the semi-empirical approach were used. The experimental design was used with one experimental group of pre and post applications. The research sample comprised 46 female students. After applying the research pre and post program to verify the validity and reliability of the results, the latter were collected, monitored and processed statistically. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at (0.01) significance level between the average scores of the students in the cognitive achievement test and the environmental awareness scale and the academic approach scale. There was also a statistical relationship between the cognitive achievement test and the environmental awareness scale in the research sample. The study recommended the following: the need to enhance the enrichment programs and adopt the development of awareness of environmental issues and human behaviors, create a creative and innovative aware generation and maintain a safe and sustainable environment. This is one of the priorities of education based on the use of modern strategies that make the learner active and effective and the focus of the educational process.

Can Audience Development Promote Social Diversity in German Public Arts Institutions?

Despite generous public funding, arts institutions in Germany are primarily serving a small, educated section of the German population. This article presents findings from arts participation surveys, research from an empirical study on “Intercultural Audience Development” in public theaters and museums, and an analysis of cultural policy debates to reveal the role of audience development in overcoming the social imbalance of audiences in German cultural institutions. Research findings suggest that traditional concepts of audience development do not lead to sustainable changes in the social structure of the audience. More substantial institutional changes are necessary, supported by new cultural policies.

Usability Testing of IBD&me (ibdandme.org): A Novel Online Biologic Decision Aid for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Introduction: Navigating the risk-benefit profiles of the various biologic options approved for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be challenging for patients considering biologic therapy. We created an online patient decision aid called IBD&me (ibdandme.org) to clarify individual patient preferences and encourage more active involvement in making decisions about biologic therapies (Figure 1). It includes an educational component and an interactive exercise with a series of rating tasks that generates a personalized preferences report for patients to share and discuss with their physician. In this study, we aimed to assess the tool through soliciting patient input regarding the usability and usefulness of IBD&me.2818_A Figure 1. Demographic and clinical patient characteristics (N=12).Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with IBD patients referred from an academic IBD Center. Using a retrospective probing technique, participants navigated through the website on their own while interviewers took notes, followed by an interview session where participants were asked about their experience using IBD&me. Usability was measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS; 0-100; higher score=higher usability). The transcripts were coded to explore usability-related themes of IBD&me. Results: We interviewed 12 IBD patients (Table 1), and participants took 28.3±12.9 mins to complete IBD&me. The mean SUS score was 79.3±14.2, which corresponds to 90th percentile. Thematic analysis uncovered strengths and shortcomings related to content, navigation, and layout (Table 2). This led us to identify opportunities to enhance each IBD&me section and make it more patient-friendly: education section (eg, placing technical explanations in the context of individual treatment journeys); rating tasks (eg, removing a question subjects found nonsensical); personalized report (eg, rearranging elements to facilitate sharing the report); and global features (eg, adding an interactive glossary). We found that 100% and 92% of patients reported IBD&me to be useful and were likely to recommend it to another IBD patient, respectively. Conclusion: The SUS score suggests excellent usability for IBD&me. However, our results indicate an opportunity to refine the site for improved patient-friendly design. This highlights the need to engage would-be end users during development of patient decision aids. We plan on conducting another round of usability testing using the updated version of IBD&me with 5 biologic-naïve patients.2818_B Figure 2.

The Early Career of Yamaguchi Katsuhiro: Vitrine Series in Historical Perspective

Abstract This article seeks to enhance our understanding of Japanese postwar art by focusing on the early career of Yamaguchi Katsuhiro, one of the major members of the famous 1950s avant garde group Jikken Kōbō (Experimental Workshop). This article also sheds light on the unique spatial environment of the artist’s house. His father had a two-story modernist study space built as an extension that was designed by the modernist painter Tōgō Seiji in the 1930s. This ultramodern house extension was a major influence on the work of the young Yamaguchi Katsuhiro. Another influence on Katsuhiro were postwar American art journals, which were full of information about new trends in the West and available to young Japanese artists through the Center of Information and Education Section established by the Americans.

Kokkang Art Studio : Structure and Function of Passing Down Potentials of Caricature Through Generation

Caricature is a picture which is distorted to send a satirical or funny message. It is portrayed in a printed media with a function of becoming a social control or a sword of opinion. This research has several objectives. First, it discusses the structure and function of KOKKANG art studio. Second, it reviews the learning of intergenerational caricature of KOKKANG art studio in Kaliwungu, Kendal. This research used descriptive qualitative design assisted with the approach from the theory of modern sociology. The supporting data were collected from observation, interview, and documentation. Triangulation of sources and data were used to validate the findings. Then, the data were analysed under the steps of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion (verification). There are some points from the findings of the research. First, the functional structure of KOKKANG art studio is interrelated to other structure. Some function in each position of the organization has worked as their job description. Thus, it impacts the inheritance of drawing caricature which is done by the education section of the organization. Second, the non-formal learning pattern done by the studio is friendly and familiar, thereby it produces the cadres of cartoonists which can maintain their existence. Based on the findings, there are some suggestions to be proposed. First, KOKKANG studio should actively promote and regenerate to keep the existence of it in the future. Second, the teenagers in Kaliwungu should actively participate in the part of the community by joining or following the agenda. Third, local government should be involved in supporting the studio whether morally or materially to continue its existence.

The ABC of communism revisited

The ABC of communism by Nikolai Bukharin and Evgenii Preobrazhenskii was both an exercise in utopian planning and a Left Communist manifesto. As such, Lenin viewed it with some suspicion. Its educational section combined ideological prescription with description of the actual policy of the Soviet People’s Commissariat of Education (Narkompros), as well as elements of polemic with that policy. Preobrazhenskii, its author, would shortly emerge as a major opponent of Narkompros’s core commitments in education, clashing with Nadezhda Krupskaia, Lenin’s wife, and other Narkompros leaders.

Sustainable Development of C.I. Under BRI-Based on the C.I. at Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu

Abstract The purpose of the research is to clarify what makes “sustainability” possible in Confucius Institute (C. I.) development when facing the challenging as well as opportunities in the international background, especially under the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI). It explores the strategies of ensuring the long-term possibility of achieving the goal of C.I. world widely, which is to teach Chinese language and to promote culture exchange between different cultures. The study concerns 3 dimensions of supportive elements: basically, management support of universities at home and abroad plays the essential role in the evolution of C.I.; furthermore, based on the links with the education section at different levels, expanding teaching branches brings stable and massive learners of Chinese language for C.I.; Finally, teaching quality control is the cornerstone of C.I. as an international exchange platform. Collectively, the research will be based on the analysis of C.I. at Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu in Romania to discuss the “sustainable development” under B&R initiative. Based on literature review and comparative research, the study will first review the literature and the background of BRI. In the second part, support from the two sides of cooperation in building C.I. and strategies concerning the expansion of teaching branches of C.I. with the link between C.I. and different levels of education section will be discussed. In the third part, last but not the least, detailed research will be done on the teaching quality control. Therefore, we may finally assume that the sustainable development of C.I. can’t be realized if any of the above condition is missed.

Intentional Interprofessional Experiential Education

The experiential component of a doctor of pharmacy curricula is an ideal, yet underutilized vehicle to advance interprofessional education (IPE) initiatives. To date, most experiential-based IPE initiatives occur in a naturally occurring, non-deliberate fashion. The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Experiential Education Section formed the Task Force on Intentional Interprofessional Education in Experiential Education in academic year 2015-2016 to explore the issue. This commentary describes the work of the task force, including the following elements: defining intentional interprofessional experiential education as "the explicit effort by preceptors and practice sites to create/foster educational opportunities or activities designed specifically to achieve interprofessional educational competencies;" conducting a systematic literature review to identify examples of intentional interprofessional experiential education in the published literature; surveying faculty with oversight of experiential education programs and preceptors within those programs; and generating recommendations to stakeholders including AACP, pharmacy schools, and experiential education administrators.

General Awareness about Epilepsy in a Cohort of Female and Male Students: A Statistical Comparison

Abstract Background and Objective A survey on general awareness toward epilepsy was conducted on a cohort of female and male medical and paramedical students that represent a model educated section of the society. It is, therefore, imperative that this section of the society acquires correct knowledge about epilepsy. Materials and Methods The subjects were undergraduate students from medical and paramedical institutes in Gwalior region who were gathered to celebrate the National Epilepsy Day on November 17, 2016. A self-administered questionnaire of 50 questions on general awareness about epilepsy was completed at the very beginning before the celebrations. The results were subjected to various statistical analyses. Results A total of 251 respondents (149 females and 102 males) in the age group of 17 to 31 years participated in the survey. All the respondents had heard about epilepsy. One-hundred fifty-eight participants were from medical and dental institutes, whereas 93 participants were from paramedical institutes. In general, the female participants exhibited significantly greater general knowledge about epilepsy in comparison to the male respondents. Conclusion The results indicate a favorable degree of awareness about epilepsy. A definite knowledge gap was observed between the medical and paramedical students. However, the awareness still needs to be enhanced even among students pursuing medical and paramedical courses through various programs apart from their academic curriculum, as a certain degree of misconceptions and superstitious beliefs associated with epilepsy continues to prevail even in this educated section of the society.

Teaching automotive suspension design to engineering students: Bridging the gap between CAD and CAE tools through an integrated approach

The paper presents an integrated approach to suspension design with educational purposes. A dedicated design tool was created to instruct automotive engineering students in the whole process of suspension design across the various CAE tools involved, from early kinematics studies to CAD, vehicle dynamics simulations and FEM modelling. The tool has given birth to a proven design procedure that the authors would like to share in this paper with focus on the educational side, although suspension kinematics design is not certainly a novel subject in itself. The tool includes geometries like the widely used McPherson strut, complex five-link schemes for high-end road cars, and typical racing car geometries like the so-called push/pull rod systems used on Formula 1 and Le Mans racecars. It has been applied successfully to various projects developed by professionals as well as by students, including the latest three Formula SAE (FSAE) single-seaters of the University of Brescia (Brescia, Italy) team. The paper is structured as follows. The introduction describes the role student design competitions play in higher engineering education, and within the frame of the Automotive Engineering course at UniBS in particular. A selection of relevant bibliography on the topic is listed. The Educational scenario section deals with the specific case of the Automotive Engineering course at UniBS and the requirements posed by student competitions, also in the frame of the Dublin Descriptors, and shows how suspension design can play a pivot role in a FSAE project. The A tool for suspension kinematics: requirements, description, solution section presents the software tool in itself. The math underlying the user interface is outlined. Finally, the integration features towards other CAE tools are presented with the related advantages.

Pediatric asthma treatment: What to do when international guideline recommendations do not agree

BackgroundThere was a need for a solid asthma guideline in Mexico to update and unify asthma management. Because high-quality asthma guidelines exist worldwide, in which the latest evidence on asthma management is summarized, the ADAPTE approach allows for the development of a national asthma guideline based on evidence from already existing guidelines, adapted to national needs. ObjectiveTo fuse evidence from the best asthma guidelines and adapt it to local needs with the ADAPTE approach. MethodsThe Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II asthma guidelines were evaluated by a core group to select 3 primary guidelines. For each step of asthma management, clinical questions were formulated and replied according to (1) evidence in the primary guidelines, (2) safety, (3) Cost, and (4) patient preference. The Guidelines Development Group, composed of a broad range of experts from medical specialties, primary care physicians, and methodologists, adjusted the draft questions and replies in several rounds of a Delphi process and 3 face-to-face meetings, taking into account the reality of the situation in Mexico. We present the results of the pediatric asthma treatment part. ResultsSelected primary guidelines are from the British Thoracic Society and Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (BTS/SIGN), Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), and Spanish Guidelines on the Management of Asthma (GEMA) 2015, with 2016 updates. Recommendations or suggestions were made for asthma treatment in Mexico. In this article, the detailed analysis of the evidence present in the BTS/SIGN, GINA, and GEMA sections on the (non) pharmacologic treatment of pediatric asthma, education, and devices are presented for 2 age groups: children 5 years or younger and children 6 to 11 years old with asthma. ConclusionFor the pediatric treatment and patient education sections, applying the AGREE II and Delphi methods is useful to develop a scientifically sustained document, adjusted to the Mexican situation, as is the Mexican Guideline on Asthma.

A training program of a new simplified classification of magnified narrow band imaging for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Optimal staging of the invasion depth of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is vital before endoscopic treatment. A new simplified magnified narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) classification system based on vascular architecture has recently been developed by the Japan Esophageal Society; however, its validity remains uncertain. A total of 11 experienced and 11 inexperienced endoscopists were invited to join an endoscopic training program, which was composed of pretest, educational section, and post-test. The pretest and post-test sections included a set of endoscopic photos from 40 subjects with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with various invasion depths. Each subject appeared twice in the test, one with white-light imaging (WLI) only and the other with both WLI and M-NBI. The educational section included lectures and video demonstrations. The accuracy of WLI alone and combined with M-NBI at baseline were 0.53, 0.57 and 0.43, 0.41 for the experienced and inexperienced endoscopists, respectively, which then improved to 0.57, 0.63 and 0.49, 0.52 after training. Inter-observer agreement (k-value) of WLI alone and combined WLI and M-NBI for the experienced and inexperienced endoscopists also improved from 0.61, 0.61, and 0.61, 0.53 to 0.68, 0.71, and 0.71, 0.59, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the educational course but not experience in endoscopy, NBI, or magnification significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy. M-NBI had a significant additional benefit to WLI, with an improvement in accuracy from 36% to 56% for the cases with m3/sm1 cancers (P<0.05). A well-designed training program can improve the diagnostic accuracy in evaluating cancer invasion depth, with substantial agreement.
