Pilot Study on Reading and Writing Characteristics in Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

This study surveys the factors regarding reading and writing difficulties in children with attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and uses these results to provide support. We conducted surveys on 16 elementary school children from 3rd to 6th grades who were diagnosed with ADHD by a physician based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). We conducted a Hiragana reading test, a Kanji reading and writing test, and a visual perception test on the subject children. We requested that the parents of the children complete a reading and writing symptom checklist, the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ), the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), the ADHD-Rating Scale (ADHD-RS), and the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ). We conducted a multiple regression analysis using the Kanji reading and writing test as the dependent variable. Results revealed that the positional task score in the visual perception test was a factor that influences Kanji writing. Meanwhile, gender, reading-related items on the reading and writing symptom checklist, and performance such as misreading of hiragana were factors that influenced Kanji reading. Based on the results, we suggested that when teaching Kanji writing, children's visual cognition ability should be assessed, and ways to incorporate learning methods that supplement visual perception, such as color masses and electronic learning materials, should be devised. When teaching reading, we suggest using teaching materials that present not only text but also audio as needed, and support the awareness of parents.

Evolution of continuing medical education in radiology: on-site vs remote

ObjectivesTo assess the evolution of continuing medical education/continuous professional development (CME/CPD) in European Radiology with a particular focus on on-site (live educational events, LEE) vs remote (electronic learning materials, ELM) participation and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsResults related to CME/CPD of surveys conducted by the Accreditation Council of Imaging (ACI) between 2017 and 2020 are summarized. Additional insights from the survey conducted in spring 2023, exploring online education trends since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, are presented. Finally, the results of the surveys are correlated with the total number of CME/CPD applications received annually from 2018 to 2022.ResultsPre-pandemic, 90% of European radiologists supported mandatory CME and unified CME/CPD-system. A trend among younger radiologists towards ELM was observed. Only 20% of employers fully endorsed CME/CPD. In 2020, LEE attendance dropped significantly (95.5–33%), with a simultaneous surge (33–58%) in time spent on ELM. Post-pandemic, the majority (52%) of LEE attendees participated in 1–5 events, whereas the majority (38%) of attendees of live-streamed events participated in 6–20 meetings. Content remains a priority of respondents in all formats: 79% for online, 75% for on-site, and 74% for on-demand. While the assessed quality of LEE remained at the same level (no change (36%) or good/very good (48%)), a considerably higher percentage of respondents noticed the quality of live-streamed events was good/very good (83%).ConclusionThe majority of European radiologists support mandatory CME and a unified CME/CPD system. Despite the post-pandemic resurgence in LEE, ELM and hybrid events are predicted to gain further prominence.Critical relevance statementThe CME/CPD system dynamically adapts to evolving professional, technical, and environmental circumstances, with human interaction gaining heightened significance post-COVID-19.Key PointsProfessionals expressed a desire to return to on-site participation, highlighting its desirability for social interaction.Electronic learning materials are poised for continued growth, particularly among younger generations.Professionals expressed a desire towards a unified CME/CPD system in Europe.Graphical

IMPACT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY (ICT) ON HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN SIERRA LEONE – A SURVEY

In Sierra Leone, higher educational institutions to date lack equipment, infrastructure, and quality electronic learning materials. ICT has not yet become a catalyst for transformational change in the educational system. Most of the efforts to embrace ICT in the national education system have proved futile due to high cost of acquisition of necessary equipment by the users and lack of adequate investment in the national ICT infrastructure. The objective of this paper is in two-folds. First, to examine the current state of ICT use and e-learning, especially as it relates to its impact on teaching and learning. Second, to identify potential areas for improvements with recommendations for policymakers, educators, and other stakeholders on how to leverage the potential of ICT in higher education. Data was electronically collected through questionnaires administered by students and lecturers in selected higher educational institutions using convenient sampling method. ANOVA statistical technique wise employed for data analysis. Findings from the study revealed that a vast majority of the respondents believe that ICT makes provision for more dynamism with up-to-date learning contents and could improve the overall performance of students. Additionally, the study found that ICT adoption rate in Sierra Leone is weak largely because of lack of ICT knowledge and awareness and the high cost of necessary infrastructure. The paper recommends that due to high cost of technology, Government must support higher educational institutions in their acquisition and maintenance; Institutions should make them a matter of priority and budget for them; and the compulsory use of ICT in the classroom must be encouraged.

Socio-Scientific Issues-Based Electronic Learning Material Design Framework Development for Flexible Learning

The study aims to design a socio-scientific issues (SSIs)-based electronic learning (℮-LM) design framework. It is anchored to the SSI occurrences in teaching Science at a State University in Batangas province, Philippines. This SSI-based ℮-LM design framework will guide the ℮-LM development for teaching Science socio-contextually through flexible learning. The explanatory sequential mixed method design addressed the study’s goal. Initially, the existing SSIs in the science course curriculum were analyzed. Significant insights into the occurrence of existing SSIs, such as the appropriate teaching approaches, suitable teaching strategies, assessments, and ℮-LM design structure, were identified. The resulting least occurring SSI identified and factors affecting their existence comprised the salient features of the proposed e-LM design framework. Findings showed that lifelong learning issues, ethical issues, and sustainability issues were almost “no occurrences at all” SSIs in the analysis. These identified SSIs became the priority SSIs in ℮-LM design framework. Significant insights showed that flexible learning and socio-contextualization are suitable teaching approaches. Meanwhile, the teaching strategies that were found appropriate in the SSI inclusion include brain-netting, discovering scientific ideas, ℮-collaboration, and reflective thinking evaluation. The ℮-LM design framework proposed is called Brain-D℮CoR ℮-LM Framework. Applying the proposed ℮-LM design framework in teaching Science will encourage science facilitators to situate priority SSIs in teaching Science. This results in creating a balance in SSI inclusion. The least occurring SSIs, which are the priority SSIs, are given into focus. Furthermore, the proposed framework will aid students in learning science beyond the content, developing their skills, and enhancing their environmental concerns and social awareness.

Same same but different: Learning with technology – are first-year college students prepared for this?

March 2020 changed the world of learning. Ever since, students have been relying on remote lecturers, virtual fellow students, and electronic learning material. For many, this greatly differs from how they used to learn before and even though technology is incremental to students’ everyday life, many are not familiar with using technology for their learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate if first-year college students are prepared for learning with technology and to empirically document possible gaps. To assess this, two successive first year cohorts completed a 32-items questionnaire that was based on standardized scales to assess time management, collaboration, and self-directedness, as the three core competencies for higher education learners to successfully engage in learning with technology. The answers were related to students’ prior experiences and their motivation to learn online. First results indicated that time management is a major challenge for first-year students with and without work experience. Results also suggest that the motivation to learn has a positive relationship with the concept variables chosen to assess first-year students’ expectation and readiness for online learning. The findings may support the need for higher education institutions to understand students’ expectations and self-assessed readiness and to identify areas for improvement.

Kommunikationsmittel und Medien im Fremdsprachenunterricht

Continuous technological development affects other possible areas of human activity, including the educational process. Current mass media such as press, radio, television, social networks, as well as new information and communication technologies and devices such as computers, tablets, mobile phones and interactive whiteboards are very often used in the educational process. Computer technology provides new and effective learning opportunities in the form of a variety of didactic electronic learning materials, interactive educational programs and applications that not only modernize lessons but also make them more illustrative and interesting. New technologies have also significantly changed teaching methods. All these facilities provide educators with a suitable environment to make their teaching more interesting, modern and efficient. These facilities allow students to learn any time outside school hours and at home. Using new media for language learning brings many advantages, but also several disadvantages. On the one hand, it is possible to present the curriculum more clearly, which results in students acquiring the content of the curriculum more quickly and efficiently. On the other hand, the design and creation of teaching material, the planning and organization of lessons require a lot of time from the teacher, as well as high-quality media and information-communication competences. The use of media in foreign language teaching has also changed the roles of teacher and student. Today’s teaching focuses on the student as an active part of the teaching process and not just as an object of teaching. Now, the teacher becomes the driving element of the lesson management. Different didactics summarize the concept of media differently. Some didactics perceive the medium as a purely electronic tool for technical education, while others include printed material such as pictures, graphics, but also visualizations and animations. In this article we would like to clarify the function of media in education, to explain some important concepts such as “media competence”, “blended learning” or “e-learning”. We will also summarize the advantages of using different media in the educational process as well as some of their functions. Various teaching programs and interactive didactic applications are currently used in pedagogical practice, which can also be used in foreign language teaching. Therefore, we will also focus on brief characteristics of some of them; describe their possibilities and ways of usage in education. We also provide a specific example of the appearance of an interactive German language lesson developed in Hot Potatoes. The example was created by a German language student at a computer science lesson in collaboration with a teacher. Tasks, such as this one, are used by the authors in the class and they are proved in practice.
