OPTIMIZING LEARNING: A META-ANALYSIS OF TIME MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN UNIVERSITY EDUCATION

This meta-analysis rigorously investigates time management strategies within university education and their impact on academic performance, student satisfaction, and self-efficacy. Covering two decades (2004-2024), it synthesizes findings from both random and nonrandom controlled intervention studies, providing a comprehensive examination of pedagogical impacts. The analysis reveals nuanced but significant enhancements across academic and personal development dimensions, with varied effect sizes (average g values). Interventions were categorized based on their primary focus—either direct time management skills enhancement or integration within broader academic and personal development strategies. Directly targeting time management proficiency was pivotal in bolstering academic performance and self-efficacy, while broader interventions significantly elevated student satisfaction. This analysis highlights the critical interplay between time management strategies, self-efficacy, and satisfaction, suggesting that tailored, skill-specific interventions can yield substantial benefits in academic contexts. The findings advocate for a holistic approach in higher education pedagogy, emphasizing the necessity of embedding effective time management training within university curricula to optimize learning outcomes and student development. This study contributes to the academic discourse on educational strategies and underscores the imperative for empirical, evidence-based approaches in curriculum design and student support services, guiding future research in educational psychology.

Exploring preparation practices of nursing and midwifery educators for in situ simulation-based education: A qualitative study in a large healthcare service

AimThis study aimed to explore nursing and midwifery clinical educators’ preparation practices related to in situ simulation-based education, at a tertiary health service in Australia. BackgroundSimulation-based education is routinely used in healthcare education and training. A key mechanism to optimise simulation-based education is learner preparation. While diverse pre-simulation preparation approaches are described in the literature, these are predominantly focused on activities that are undertaken in either university and/or skills centre contexts. In contrast, the learner preparation practices for simulation-based education that is delivered insitu in healthcare facilities by clinical nurse and midwifery educators are underexplored. DesignThis study used an exploratory qualitative design. MethodsParticipants were recruited using purposive sampling from a potential study group of thirty. Twelve individuals from the nursing and midwifery education group met selection criteria and agreed to participate in the study. Each individual participated in a semi-structured interview. Interview data were then transcribed and analysed using qualitative descriptive methods. ResultsData analysis resulted in the development of four themes related to the preparation of participants for insitu simulation-based education sessions. Each theme informs the choices of clinical nurse/midwifery educators’ preparation practices: 1) responsivity to workplace and clinical priorities; 2) clinical educator objectives; 3) preparedness for learning and clinical practice; and 4) evolving educational expertise. ConclusionThis study explored the preparation practices of nurse and midwifery clinical educators engaged in the delivery of insitu simulation-based education. Findings indicate a depth of experiences and a willingness to share practice insights, suggesting that insitu simulation-based education is an integral part of the in service repertoire and a key component of departmental education strategies, designed to support practice and hone skills required to deliver quality patient care.

Motivation and guidance of college students' low-carbon behavior: evidence from Chinese colleges and universities.

In the context of the global implementation of the emission peak and carbon-neutral strategic goal, guiding residents' low-carbon behavior is of great significance for the realization of the dual carbon goal. However, existing studies have paid less attention to the low-carbon behavior of college students. Based on the theory of planned behavior, this paper constructs a theoretical model of influencing factors of college students' low-carbon behavior. Combined with 612 questionnaires from Chinese colleges and universities, this study uses a structural equation model and multi-group analysis method to explore the motivation of college students' low-carbon behavior and guiding education strategies. The results show that low-carbon attitude, subjective norms, low-carbon values, and perceived behavior control have significant positive effects on low low-carbon behavior intention of college students, and influence their low-carbon behavior through low-carbon behavior intention. Further research found that gender and growth environment (urban vs. rural) presented heterogeneity in different influence paths, and the perceived cost had a significant negative moderating effect during the transition from low-carbon intention to low-carbon behavior. These research findings provide a theoretical basis and policy inspiration for explaining and guiding the low-carbon behavior of college students.

Parental knowledge on the respiratory syncytial virus before the nirsevimab immunization program: Attitudes toward immunization in an autonomous community of Spain

ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children and associated with most bronchiolitis- and pneumonia-related hospitalizations. A new preventive monoclonal antibody (MAb), nirsevimab, has been launched in the United States, Luxembourg, and France, and was recently approved to be given in a population-based manner throughout Spain. This study aimed to have a first pre-immunization insight into the Spanish parental knowledge about bronchiolitis, RSV, and nirsevimab immunization. Parents in Murcia with children <2 years of age up to the date of September 1, 2023, were selected to complete a questionnaire. The primary endpoint was the parental knowledge about bronchiolitis, RSV, and nirsevimab. A total of 3,217 responses were analyzed. The majority (95.8%) were aware of bronchiolitis. Meanwhile, 46.6% of the respondents knew about RSV, most of them only after the first child’s birth. Information about RSV or bronchiolitis was mainly obtained from family members, with only 4.8% reporting having been informed by Health care Professionals (HCPs). Only 11.2% of respondents were aware of nirsevimab. Nonetheless, these were not entirely satisfied with the information received (score of 3.3 out of 5) and shared that HCPs should be the primary source of information. The present survey then highlights the need for better and more efficient educational strategies directed to all parents/legal guardians. It also sheds some light on the different factors that should be considered to improve awareness of RSV immunization to decrease its burden in Spain and beyond.

The mediating role of cognitive test anxiety on the relationship between academic procrastination and subjective wellbeing and academic performance.

Promoting wellness as a predictor of sustainable development empowers schools to model healthy behavior. The multiple interactions in real and virtual environments that today's youth are subjected to force schools to explore effective educational strategies to provide a quality education for students and their families. This study examines the relationship between academic procrastination, assessment anxiety, subjective wellbeing, and academic performance. A convenience sample of 322 undergraduate students () was used, and questionnaires were administered to students measuring academic procrastination, cognitive test anxiety, and subjective wellbeing. For the same target group, the level of academic performance was identified using personal reports. The questionnaires were administered between May and June 2023 in an online format. For the data analysis, we applied correlational analysis and path analysis using. Both test anxiety and academic procrastination negatively correlate with performance and subjective wellbeing, leading to decreased performance and subjective wellbeing. Procrastination correlates positively with test anxiety. Cognitive test anxiety partially mediated the relationship between academic procrastination and subjective wellbeing and fully mediated the relationship between academic procrastination and academic performance. Thus, high procrastination leads to decreased performance and subjective wellbeing both directly and indirectly through increased test anxiety, leading to decreased performance and subjective wellbeing. As a result of theoretical and practical investigations, it emerges that joint action of educational actors is required in the generation of effective educational strategies for the prevention and control of procrastination and evaluation anxiety, given the fact that both a high level of procrastination as well as assessment anxiety led to the decrease of students' wellbeing, to the registration of low academic performances. In the long term, disruptive behavior (procrastination and anxious behavior) could generate low social and professional performance, which is a research question for a future longitudinal study.

Portuguese perspectives for education and inclusion of young forced migrants through sport

ABSTRACT As migratory waves increase and get more complex, social inequalities are likely to arise due to challenges associated with cultural differences, language or lack of supportive networks. Beside international laws and guidelines, responses have been developed for supporting young forced migrants inclusion in host countries. There are suggestions in the literature that sport, if intentionally used as an educational strategy with inclusive purposes, may benefit young forced migrants, not only in terms of their well-being but it may also provide a safe and educational space that allows opportunities for dialogue, language learning and cultural awareness. It is suggested that promoting its practice may create new forms of social, human and cultural capital, leading to meaningful relationships and a sense of (new) belonging. For young forced migrants, sport may become the first motivational asset for engaging with their host community due to familiarity and a common shared language. This article explores Portuguese settlement and inclusion practitioners’ perceptions and uses of sport as an inclusive educational strategy for young forced migrants. Methodologically, the article is based on document analysis of international and national policies and semi-structured interviews with Portuguese actors linked to settlement procedures and sport. The results indicate the existence of policies that aim to protect young forced migrants and acknowledge different challenges concerning their resettlement in Europe. Despite sport being perceived as a valuable educational strategy, particularly in language learning, and an inclusive mechanism for creating a sense of (new) belonging, there are currently limited policies and guidelines in Portugal to implement educational strategies that use sport to include young forced migrants.

Eğitim Sistematiğinde Analitik Düşünme Öğretim Model ve Stratejilerinin İncelenmesi

21. in the developing world of the century, increasing global competition, access to technology, digital information and tools also affect the qualities that individuals should have. The adaptation of individuals to the advances in technology and the rapid developments in the production and transfer of information as a result requires them to use their thinking skills effectively. Therefore, 21. in the light of the century requirements, it is considered important to design educational policies and practices in order for students to achieve these skills. In addition, the curriculum, school, learning environments and teacher factors should also be included in this draft process. Undoubtedly, one of the most important issues that we face in this context is the development of analytical thinking teaching models and strategies in educational systematics. Analytical thinking The reasoning model is a teaching strategy that aims to involve students in the reasoning process or the solution of complex problems through peer or teacher-led group discussion in order to encourage them to think. The main point of the model is the criticisms against the traditional classroom discussion. It is criticized because the traditional classroom discussion is mostly dominated by the teacher and takes place in the form of a monologue with the teacher's questions to initiate the discussion-answer-evaluation. Educational thinkers suggest that students' conversations about their thinking processes and engaging in mutual dialogue develop analytical and independent thinking. Based on this view, they stated that this model, which includes collaborative reasoning discussion, is effective in analytical thinking education. At the first stage of the implementation of the model, students are taught the language, principles and skills of analytical thinking clearly and directly. Afterwards, students are supported to use these principles and skills in their learning. Students are being engaged in a series of thinking tasks that involve teacher- or peer-led collaborative reasoning discussions. Key Words: Educational Systematics, Analytical Thinking, Reasoning, Teaching Models and Strategies

Unveiling Effective CSCL Constructs for STEM Education in Malaysia and Indonesia

The acquisition of knowledge and skills in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) plays a crucial role in fostering the development of future innovators. These subjects are critical for creating future thinkers. Additionally, it is important to note that there are a lot of job openings in the STEM fields, and this trend is expected to keep growing. However, students don’t seem to be as motivated to study in STEM fields or work in STEM fields. One teaching method that is becoming more popular is computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). This is because it can have a big effect on how people learn, especially in STEM subjects. It is very important to set up a CSCL learning environment for STEM schooling right away. However, that there isn’t a good framework and there aren’t many widely used design methods in this area. Without a question, there is a strong need to learn more about design methodologies in the areas of collaborative and technology-enhanced learning to come up with simple methods for CSCL. Because of this, the goal of this study is to investigate the conceptual parts of CSCL methods in STEM education. This will be used to make CSCL educational methods that are good especially for STEM education. STEM academics in Malaysia and Indonesia were surveyed using questionnaires to find the most important parts of CSCL strategies in STEM education, and the results were analysed using the Fuzzy Delphi Method. The results give us a list of CSCL settings used in schools, which can be used as a guide for creating and using CSCL strategies in STEM education.

Designing and Evaluating an Outcome-Based Education Model: A Case Study at Angeli Gilbert Christian Academy

This research paper explores the implementation of OBE (Outcome-Based Education) in the context of disparate educational institutions, including the case of AGCA (Angeli Gilbert Christian Academy). This study uses a qualitative research method (in-depth interviews and thematic analysis), which examines how OBE complies with Spady’s five pillars (Paradigm, purposes, philosophy, principle, and outcome of significance) and its effect on the student learning outcomes. The study’s responses were gathered from teachers (15) and parents (15) through Zoom meetings, allowing for a deeper understanding of the OBE and its implementation in AGCA. This analysis highlights the crucial importance of OBE in the creation of student-centered learning approaches that are targeted to meet educational objectives, and that contribute to the formation of a favorable learning environment. The implementation of the OBE manual is proposed, and it will be tailored to fit the purpose and objectives of AGCA, which will guide the curriculum, instruction, and assessment alignment. In general, the study underscores that understanding and integrating OBE principles can help enhance education’s quality and relevance. OBE implementation of AGCA has been successful, gathering positive feedback from parents and educators. This research also indicates some adjustments to the AGCA structure, involving changes to the vision and mission statements as well as to the program with a focus on the OBE manual. Future research could consider integration effectiveness, longitudinal surveys of alumni, and comparative analogy of informing other educational reform strategies for students.

Dural Closure Training With Prototyped Model.

The hermetic closure of the dura mater is a critical step in neurosurgical training, often undervalued but crucial to preventing serious complications such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks leading to meningitis and death. Inadequate closure, often due to insufficient training, can result in challenging complications, including prolonged hospitalization and reoperation. To address the deficiencies in dural closure training, this study aims to describe a 3D prototype for simulating post-craniotomy dura mater suturing. The objective is to reduce the incidence of CSF leaks and improve the training of neurosurgery residents. The study involves the creation of a 3D prototype based on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans. The additive manufacturing of structures is performed using ABS filament, and a silicone rubber membrane is used to simulate the meningeal dura mater. Neurosurgery residents undergo training using this model, and the effectiveness is evaluated. The study is conducted at the Institute of Neurology of Curitiba (Hospital INC), focusing on neurosurgery residents from the first to fifth year of residency. Seven residents participate in the study, with varying levels of experience in dural closure procedures. The training involves a simulated surgical environment using the 3D prototype. After training, residents show improvements in confidence and theoretical knowledge related to dural closure. Binary questions indicate a strong desire for more practical training on dural closure, with 85.7% believing in the essential role of 3D molds in their neurosurgery training. The study highlights the importance of adequate training for dural closure to prevent serious complications in neurosurgery. The use of 3D simulation models, despite some limitations, proves to be an effective educational strategy. The emerging technology of bioprinting holds promise for further enhancing simulation materials, bringing medical education closer to realistic tissue replication.

Examining the Impact of Family-based Anti-corruption Character Education on Adolescent Attitudes: A Case Study of SMA Negeri 12 Makassar

Family is a primary factor in shaping children's character, including their stance against corruption. Permissive family attitudes towards corrupt behavior may normalize such behavior in children. This study aims to analyze the effect of anti-corruption character education within the family on the anti-corruption attitudes of adolescents at SMA Negeri 12 Makassar. Using a quantitative survey approach, the study involved 200 students from grades X and XI. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment test, revealing a correlation coefficient of 0.398 and a t-value of 6.214, both indicating a significant positive relationship. The determination test showed that 14.8% of the variance in adolescent anti-corruption character is explained by family education, while 85.2% is influenced by other factors. These findings underscore the crucial role of family in fostering anti-corruption values and suggest that enhancing family-based educational strategies could further strengthen anti-corruption character in youth.

Entrepreneurial Mindset and Intentions for Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship in Engineering and Business Students

With the shifting dynamics of the modern workforce, there is a growing recognition of the essential role that an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) plays in shaping future innovators, notably within engineering disciplines. Despite the acknowledged significance of EM, there remains a gap in understanding how it relates to entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial intentions (E/II). This research investigates the link between EM and E/II among business and engineering students. We also analyze how EM changes over time. Our findings indicate that in both domains, ideation correlated with entrepreneurial intentions (EI) and intrapreneurial intentions (II). In both domains, altruism was associated with II. Empathy and interest were related to EI in engineering students, distinct from their business counterparts, whereas open-mindedness and interest correlated with II. These differences emphasize the need for distinct educational strategies to prepare both business and engineering students for their entrepreneurial paths.

Investigating the acceptability of modified constraint-induced movement therapy among stroke survivors and carers: a qualitative study

Purpose To investigate the acceptability of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) among stroke survivors and carers within an early-supported discharge (ESD) service, and to inform further adaptations of the program to enhance acceptability. Methods Qualitative study within a mixed methods process evaluation of mCIMT implementation. Semi-structured interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis and mapped to the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation- Behaviour (COM-B) model. Results Fifteen stroke survivors and ten carers participated. Five themes were generated and mapped to the COM-B. Participants attributed functional improvements to the program whilst also encountering several challenges with returning home after stroke (Capability- physical); the importance of education (Capability- psychological); the benefits afforded by the structured nature of the program (Opportunity- physical); the challenges for carers to support mCIMT programs whilst navigating new relationship roles (Opportunity- social); the desire to improve (Motivation- automatic); and the influence each of the mCIMT program’s components had in facilitating long term upper limb use (Motivation- reflective). Conclusion mCIMT was an acceptable intervention for stroke survivors and carers within the ESD service, offering considerable benefits compared to other therapies. The findings suggest that multifaceted education strategies could increase stroke survivor preparedness. Extending the mCIMT program duration may maximise functional improvements.
