Effectiveness of an educational intervention on knowledge and practice of young midwifery college students about IUD and Pap smear, Babol, Iran.

The high status of midwifery within the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is closely tied to enhancing clinical education. The purpose of this study was to review the effect of education on the knowledge and practice of midwifery students about Intrauterine Device (IUD) and Pap smears. This quasi-experimental study was conducted over the course of four semesters, involving 128 bachelor of midwifery students. The sampling method was non-random, utilizing convenience sampling. Four consecutive 45 min weekly sessions were held, which included three theory sessions and one practical training session. Education was conducted in face-to-face training sessions using different methods such as lectures, question and answer, slide shows, educational films and brochures, and training participants with moulage. The data were gathered using a questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, various aspects of IUD and Pap smear knowledge, along with checklists for IUD insertion and Pap smear. Paired-samples T-test and multiple regression test were used to analyze the data. A significance level of p<0.05 was set for the analysis. The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in the average knowledge across various aspects of IUD and Pap smear before and after the intervention (p<0.001). On multiple regression analysis, residence and income significantly influenced knowledge (β=0.313, p=0.001 and β=-0.384, p=0.001, respectively). Also, multiple regression analysis indicated that the use of IUD among family or friends and age significantly impacted practice (β=-0.450, p=0.005 andβ=-0.206, p=0.030, respectively). The educational intervention yielded a noticeable enhancement in the knowledge and practical skills of midwifery students. These students tend to achieve higher levels of success and deliver superior services to both patients and clients.

Film as a Linguosemiotic Phenomenon: Translational and Neurolinguistic Aspect

This study aims to study the potential of film as a semiotic and translational phenomenon for foreign language proficiency and translator training in the context of neurolinguistics. The article examines the theoretical foundations of the use of films in language education, focusing on the role of semiotics and translation in language learning and the didactic benefits of using films in the foreign language classroom. The research was carried out by reviewing the existing literature on audiovisual text and the peculiarities of its translation. It also presents an example of the experience of translation students who translated "The Interpreter" (2005a) from English to Ukrainian. The findings suggest that film adaptation for language learning has the potential to provide multiple benefits and can be a very effective tool in terms of developing communicative competence and translation skills as an aspect of neurolinguistics development. First, films can serve as a source of authentic and engaging language input, exposing learners to a variety of accents, dialects and registers of the target language. Second, films can promote cultural sensitivity and awareness by providing students with valuable information about the customs, traditions, and social norms of the target culture. In addition, movies are a manifestation of artificial intelligence and can support students' motivation and interest in language learning, as they are often strongly motivated to participate in watching movies in the target language.

Effectiveness of using feature films in organizational behavior education: an empirical investigation

PurposeWe investigated the effectiveness of using feature films in teaching organizational behavior courses at the undergraduate level at a mid-Western university in the USA.Design/methodology/approachOur model included the impact of film analysis on self-perceived learning outcomes and cognitive and affective changes among students. Structural equation modeling using partial least squares and contemporary mediation analysis techniques were employed.FindingsFeatured film analysis positively impacted perceived learning outcomes and the cognitive and affective components of learning among students.

Beyond the lens: More-than-human encounters in Yin Hong’s Himalayan science education filmmaking

The post-1949 production of China’s science education films has not received enough scholarly attention. This article treats Yin Hong’s Himalayan filmmaking as a prism through which we can rethink science education films’ propaganda missions, knowledge-making modalities, promotion of environmental awareness, and status in Chinese film and overall cultural history. Yin Hong’s film texts, produced under strict government censorship in Mao-era China, propagated the ideology of transforming and mastering nature for socialist development. Nev­ertheless, through investigating personal writings of Yin Hong and other scientists, the article illustrates that the filmmaker’s on-site filming practices embody an epistemic space where personal and embodied encounters with nature cannot be reduced to a “nature-conquering” mission. His filming journey demonstrates more-than-human encounters, where nonhuman nature is not just a subjectable and silent object but actively reshapes filming practices. Shifting analytic focus from representations to practices, the article advocates for a rediscovery of science education filmmaking in China.

Analysis of Impact of Motivational Bollywood Films on Minds of Youth

Psychologists believe that adopting various learning methods and strategies can positively influence an individual's motivation. The role of educational films in deliberately diffusing motivational thoughts cannot be ignored. Cinema has been an influential medium for over a century, building public opinion, influencing thoughts, and impacting narratives. In this context, this experimental study aims to investigate the influence of motivational-themed Bollywood films on the motivational thoughts of students. Two groups of students from Karachi were examined using a quasi-experimental method. These groups were selected through a convenient sampling technique. Three Hindi films, Taare Zameen Per, 3 Idiots, and Dangal, were selected based on their themes. The experimental group was shown these films, each with a gap of one week, while the control group did not watch any films. Both groups' motivations were analyzed through a validated questionnaire after each session. Results revealed significant differences among both groups. Motivation was relatively higher in students exposed to motivational content than in students who lacked exposure to any such content before responding to the questionnaire. Thus, our findings suggest that motivation can be positively influenced by increasing exposure to cinema based on the theme of motivation.

Organizational and methodological principles of orienteering competitions within the framework of the Shoulder-to-Shoulder All-Ukrainian School Leagues project

The article systematizes materials related to the organization and conduct of orienteering competitions in the conditions of a modern school. The authors focus on the fact that orienteering has a wide range of applications in various spheres of activity: sports, education, travel, military affairs. Special emphasis is placed on the practicality and accessibility of the use of this sport in competitions among schoolchildren. For the first time, an algorithm for organizing and conducting school orienteering competitions was developed.&#x0D; It is noted that the organization and conduct of orienteering competitions in wartime conditions has a number of peculiarities. Observance of safety measures, lack of methodical materials, as well as insufficient level of material and technical support of schools made it necessary to find available forms of organization of orienteering competitions. The result of the search was the development and approval of unified tasks that can be used at any location, even in the absence of a special map or scheme for orienteering. In addition, the authors suggested using the existing infrastructure (sports hall, school building, school yard) for orienteering competitions.&#x0D; Thanks to this research, a wide range of possibilities regarding the organization of trainings and competitions of the participants of the Shoulder-to-Shoulder All-Ukrainian School Leagues project was revealed. In addition, the developed methodical materials became the foundation of the educational and methodical film “Orienteering. The elementary level of education”, which was released in the second half of February 2024. This made it possible to expand access to methodological materials for a wide audience of specialists in the field of orienteering and physical education teachers.

Effect of various educational methods on increasing parents’ awareness of their children’s preventive orthodontic treatments

Aim: Like other fields of health, the main focus in dentistry has shifted from treatment to prevention of diseases. Parents have a vital role in deciding about their children’s oral health issues. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of four educational methods (including printed pamphlets, digital pamphlets, faceto-face education, and educational films) in increasing the awareness of parents about preventive orthodontic treatments. Methods: The study samples were selected from patients who were referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Department. 150 parents of children between 4-12 years old participated in the study. They filled out a questionnaire including demographic data and knowledge about orthodontic problems and their early treatments. Then they were divided into five groups (control, printed pamphlet, digital pamphlet, face-to-face, educational films) and after one month they repeated the test. Results: A total of 102 fathers and 48 mothers were evaluated. There was no statistical difference between different ages, sex, or income in terms of their awareness, but the awareness score between educational groups was different. There has been observed a significant increase in the awareness level of all four groups (except the control group) (P &lt; 0.05). The highest score was seen in the video group. The difference between printed pamphlets and digital pamphlets was not significant. Conclusions: The results indicate that educational films are the most effective way of increasing awareness about preventive orthodontic treatments.

With media, games and motivation provided by the teacher, learning will be interactive, meaningful and fun and students will easily accept the teacher's explanations, the teacher will also be helped in explaining the material.

Popularyzacja wiedzy o historii Mazowsza w działalności Muzeum Mazowieckiego w Płocku

This article elaborates the ways of popularising knowledge about the past of Mazovia by Museum in Płock since its establishment, as part of the Płock Scientific Society, in 1821. It had a strictly regional character. The collection consisted, on the one hand, of school teaching aids (minerals, physical and chemical equipment, globes, etc.), and on the other hand, of various exhibits donated by teachers, students, landowners, military personnel and priests, including numerous archaeological artefacts, coins, medals, natural history specimens, documents, etc. During scientific meetings, the latest archaeological and numismatic troves were reported, field inspections were organised, historical monuments were collected and placed in the museum. The institution was closed down shortly after the fall of the November Uprising. It was reactivated at the beginning of the 20th century. In December 1912, a permanent exhibition depicting the geological and historical past and the ethnography of Płock Mazovia was opened in the Gothic canonry at 8 Kanoniczny Square. In 1930, the premises were enlarged by the purchase of the House under Providence at 2 Kanoniczny Square, where the expositions of nature, geology, ethnography and archaeology were arranged. Until 1949, the facility, called the Mazovian Museum in Płock, was a part of the Płock Scientific Society. Afterwards, a new stage in its history began – a stage of independent development. The construction of a petrochemical plant in Płock in the 1960s contributed to the significant development of the facility. It obtained new premises in the renovated Castle of the Mazovian Dukes in Płock (Benedictine Abbey) on Tumskie Hill, which resulted in an increase in exhibition space and the number of specialised employees. In 1993, the Museum obtained the building of a historic granary on the Vistula embankment, where the collections of the Ethnography Department were located. In November 2004, the collections were moved from the Castle of the Mazovian Dukes to an art nouveau tenement house at 8 Tumska Street and a permanent Art Nouveau exhibition was arranged there. In the following years, the museum developed dynamically, in terms of its premises, its programme of activities, including the popularisation of historical knowledge. New museum pavilions and new permanent exhibitions were created. At present, the popularisation activity of the Mazovian Museum in Płock comprises a wide range of activities carried out by the Dissemination and Promotion Department and individual substantive departments. These include museum lessons, historical lectures, scientific sessions, workshops for children and people with disabilities, outdoor events, promotions of publications, concerts, competitions, educational films, periodicals (“Rocznik Muzeum Mazowieckiego w Płocku”, “Nasze Korzenie”, “Biuletyn Muzealny”), paratheatrical performances and many others. Key words: cultural heritage of Mazovia, regionalism, popularisation of historical knowledge, Mazovian Museum in Płock, Płock Scientific Society

A case for peace education through science fiction: migration

ABSTRACT Given the increasing popularity of the science-fiction genre, its capacity for worldbuilding and its long-durée vision, coupled with both the difficulty of discussing issues of migration in today’s world as something more than a problem of the present and the necessity to go beyond this presentism, the author argues that science-fiction films provide an excellent tool for peace education inside and outside the classroom in general and to address migration in particular. This article discusses the why and how of using science fiction films for peace education, which the author claims is not necessarily taught in the classroom or special programs but should also be seen as part of lifelong learning/continuous education.

PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN DAN KETERAMPILAN MELALUI DEMONSTRASI DAN SHORT EDUCATION MOVIES TENTANG LUKA BAKAR DI SMKN 3 KOTA PEKANBARU

Burns are a type of trauma with high morbidity and mortality that require special management from the early (shock phase) to the end phase. Handling of burns in the school environment is still relatively low, one of which is at SMKN 3 Pekanbaru City in the culinary arts department. The importance of appropriate management and the lack of knowledge about treating burns at SMKN 3 Pekanbaru City are the background for this community service. The methods used in this counseling are education, demonstrations and screening of short educational films about burns. The participants in the counseling were 32 students from SMKN 3 Pekanbaru City majoring in culinary arts. This activity starts from the planning stage to the evaluation, implementation will be held on Wednesday 8 November 2023 in the Restaurant room of the Culinary Department of SMKN 3 Pekanbaru City. The level of knowledge was measured using a questionnaire, and wound care skills were assessed using a check list sheet. The results of the counseling show that there is an increase in knowledge and skills regarding handling burns in the early phase. Through this counseling, it is hoped that participants will be able to apply the right steps in treating burns at an early stage.

People vs. ‘god of plague’: Socialist China’s anti-zoonotic campaign media as environmental media

This article cross-pollinates environmental media studies with socialist China’s anti-snail fever campaign media, including two 1965 science education films, a 1961 song book, all entitled ‘Song wensheng’ (‘Sending away god of plague’), and a 1970 Chijiao yisheng shouce (‘The handbook for barefoot doctors’). Through studying popular audio-visual and print media produced to support the socialist state-sponsored campaign against snail fever – the longest anti-zoonotic campaign in China – I adopt a cross-media approach to campaign media. Unpacking the environmental unconscious in campaign media, I advance the concept of compost media to intervene in environmental media studies by going beyond critiquing the Capitaloscene, and revealing socialist campaign media as quintessential to environmental media.

Didactic potential of educational VR films (on the example of the film “Electric power industry of Russia”)

The introduction of modern video technologies into pedagogical practice is one of the ways to increase students’ motivation to learn about the world. The article describes in detail the advantages, methodological purpose, and didactic potential of educational VR films on the example of the film in 360° format “Electric power industry of Russia”, created by a team of employees of The Academy of Public Policy Implementation and Professional Development of Educators of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation (The Academy of Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation) for free use in Russian educational organizations.The methodology of the study of educational VR films didactic potential presented in the article is based on the activity approach to learning, the principles of systematicity, and interdisciplinarity. The activity approach in the use of VR film is provided by the maximum effect of presence, which is experienced by the viewer, and independence in the choice of the subject of attention. The work of an active and proactive student is complemented by the activity of a teacher who can guide the student and choose objects from an educational VR film to set learning objectives, and formulate questions and tasks. The principles of systematicity and interdisciplinarity are provided by educational content created on the basis of the integration of knowledge from different subject areas, which allows teachers to use the didactic potential of the VR film in different disciplines and age groups.The proposed methodological solutions for the use of VR film are of practical value for the educational process in a modern school: they contribute to the formation of a holistic view of students about the achievements of Russian science and modern professions (in particular, in the electric power industry), the education of patriotism and pride in the Fatherland, the development of skills of independence and self-control in learning activities.The authors see the development of the project as one of the strategic directions in the field of digital transformation of education, aimed at improving the quality of education of modern schoolchildren.

Diminishing defensiveness in anti-racist discourse: Common pushbacks to online anti-racism content and suggestions for strategic maneuvers

When students are confronted with the knowledge that racism exists and detrimentally impacts the lives of others, there can be a sharp pushback experienced by anti-racist educators. However, not providing anti-racist education can lead to radicalization which causes further harm. However, by analyzing common “pushback” responses, educators can enter these spaces with knowledge to help strategize ways to guide people away from defensiveness, fear, and other strategies of resistance. Thus, our article aims to address the question: “What are common push-back maneuvers encountered in response to anti-racist education on social media?” This article draws on social media comments listed in response to four anti-racism educational films developed by the authors, which encompass both the racism expressed in response, and the ways that some commenters dealt with this pushback. The films were viewed nearly half a million times, and inspired many comments, both positive and negative. We analyzed these comments and noted a strong theme of push-back to anti-racism work, which we broke into specific categories. This article details the categories of this push-back, along with ways to move against its flow. We would like to remind readers that the content in this article involves direct quotations from public comments which include racism and hate and can be difficult or triggering to read.
