A Simple Card Game To Teach Synthesis in Organic Chemistry Courses

The sheer number of reactions covered in an undergraduate organic chemistry course can be overwhelming. Students are expected to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of these reactions in order to understand the logic of organic synthesis. A method that allows students to systematically solve organic synthesis problems without memorizing dozens of reactions would be beneficial. Two new card games, Synthesis and Synthetic Dominos, have been developed using a variation of traditional flash cards. Both of these games allow players to develop the logical skills needed to solve organic synthesis problems, review organic functional groups, and review reaction reagents. The first game, Synthesis, is a solitaire game that uses reaction cards to link up a starting material and target by connecting functional group conversions. The game play mimics the process used to solve synthesis problems. The second game, Synthetic Dominos, is a single-player or multiplayer game that has a gameplay similar to that of Dominos. An i...

Effectiveness of Package for Behaviour Change of Mothers in Prevention of Diarrhoea in Children less than 2 Years of Age in a Resettlement Colony

Diarrhea is a major health issue in developing countries with high morbidity and mortality rate among children below 2 years of age. Hygiene practices of mothers are associated with occurrence of diarrhea in children. We carried out an intervention to assess the effectiveness of behaviour change package on the prevention of diarrhoea in children ≤2 years of age. The sample was taken by stratified systemic random sampling technique. A total of 101 mothers, 50 in intervention group and 51 in control group were enrolled for study. In the intervention group mothers were educated on hygienic practices by using flash cards. In the subsequent 5 visits, mothers were reinforced about the hygiene and sanitation practices. These visits were also used to observe practices of mothers and recording diarrheal episodes among children. In the control group, after three months behavioural practices of mothers were observed and diarrheal episodes among children were recorded. Implementation using a package brought a significant improvement in mothers’ practices related to hygiene and sanitation. Diarrhea was 4.3 times higher in control group as compared to intervention group. Behaviour change practices related to hygiene and sanitation of mothers is effective in prevention of acute diarrheal diseases among children below 2 years of age.

Using flash cards to engage Indonesian nursing students in reflection on their practice

Reflective practice is now widely used as a critical learning tool in undergraduate and postgraduate nursing programs in most developed countries. However in developing countries, reflective practice is in its infancy. To introduce reflective practice to postgraduate students in an Indonesian nursing education institution. This paper presents the positive meanings of reflection and reflective practice experienced by the students and the way they used reflection within their practice. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted to explore the meaning of reflection or reflective practice using flashcards. A clinical reflective practice model taking into consideration Indonesian culture was developed and applied during students' clinical placement. A few weeks post clinical placement, 21 students participated in an evaluation session. The meaning of reflection or reflective practice was explored using flash cards containing images of people and environment with different situations and events. Students were asked to choose a card that represented their viewpoints about reflective practice and share it with the group. Data were digitally captured and analyzed using thematic analysis. Reflection provided a positive experience for the students. In their own words, they discussed their journey of using reflection during the clinical placement period. The use of reflection was identified as expanding their view of nursing practice, providing a safe place to explore their experiences and clarity when they encountered challenging situations during their clinical practice. Reflecting on practice experiences resulted in increased self-awareness, and enhanced their learning. The findings indicate that reflective practice can be implemented successfully in Indonesia and may have value for other Eastern countries that share similar cultural characteristics. The use of flash cards assisted the students describe through stories their experiences of participating in this reflective practice program.

Quantifying and reducing inhaler prescription errors in secondary care.

Junior doctors commonly prescribe inhaled medication for patients admitted to hospitals, and this may be a potential source of prescription error. Objective To determine the potential type, frequency and cost of prescription errors for inhaled medication, and ascertain if a simple educational intervention can improve junior doctors' knowledge and reduce these. We carried out a prospective study looking at the types and cost of inhaled prescription errors. Simultaneously we tested knowledge of junior doctors' using a quiz. Both the studies were carried out before and after the introduction of inhaler flash cards (pictures of devices with, instructions on use and the medication they contain) on specific wards. This was followed by an electronic feedback survey. Error rates varied greatly (p = 6.8 × 10(-8)) by device, with 23 % of Evohaler and Accuhaler prescriptions being incorrect. The average cost of an erroneously prescribed medication was £45.50. There were 14 % incorrect prescriptions before the intervention. There was no significant improvement in junior doctors' knowledge of inhalers or the rate of prescription error after the intervention. Prescription errors of inhaled medication are common and costly to rectify. There is a need for improved teaching and training of junior doctors and medical students.

Educational magic toys developed with augmented reality technology for early childhood education

Shaping children's experience, enhancing their imagination and affecting their behaviors, toys have great importance. Recently, toys have gained a digital characteristic and many children have tended to use them. For this reason, educational magic toys (EMT) were developed with augmented reality technology in this study. It is called as EMT because virtual objects such as story animations, 3D objects and flash animations appear on the toys. EMT has included puzzles, flash cards and match cards to teach animals, fruits, vegetables, vehicles, objects, professions, colors, numbers and shapes for average 5–6 age children in Early Childhood Education. The aim of this study is to reveal teachers' and children's opinions on EMT, to determine children's behavioral patterns and their cognitive attainment, and the relationship between them while playing EMT. Mix method was used and the sample consisted of 30 teachers and 33 children aged 5–6 in early childhood education. As data collection tools, a survey, an observation and interview form were used. This study revealed that teachers and children liked EMT activity. In addition, children interactively played with these toys but not had high cognitive attainment. From this point, we can say that these toys can be effectively used in early childhood education. However, collaborative and interactive learning with these toys should be provided. Moreover, this study will provide an important contribution, present a new educational AR application, and fill the gap in the educational technology field.

A Kansei-Oriented Approach for Product Form Design

The growing users’ awareness in practicing individual life style have led to diverse living products in business markets. Hence, how to effectively meet the emotional or kansei needs of target users become crucial issues for product designers. This article aims to propose a revised Kansei Form Composition (KFC) to more effectively analyze and develop product styling. The updated approach not only integrates kansei thinking and Morphological Analysis but also employs factor weights and flash cards. During the analyzing stages, the new KFC applies visual images as interfaces to induce latent demands of the target interviewers. Related kansei adjectives and form elements are selected as main design factors. Furthermore, weights of the factors are identified through the interviewees’ feedbacks. Core flash cards of design factors are submitted. The revised approach suggests the core flash cards as feasible inspiration tools to the designers in the idea development stages. By using the new KFC, timer form designs for LOHOS involvers are demonstrated. The authenticity and applicability is verified that the revised KFC can catch the preference of user needs more effectively.

Surveying Biochemistry Applications for Mobile Devices To Compare Availability and Topics Covered

We have surveyed the main mobile application stores to identify the coverage of the biochemistry applications and what kinds of applications are available in such stores. We have found that instructional apps, such as Books and Flash Cards, are the most frequent mobile applications, with 46 occurrences. In terms of subject covered by these applications, the most frequent topics are those related to genes and nucleic acids (20 occurrences), and proteins and amino acids (19 occurrences). With the survey we concluded that online stores have to improve their search engines to allow more accurate searches, and biochemistry applications are still presenting information in a traditional way, not exploring the use of connectivity and interactivity allowed by mobile devices.

G592 Empowering parents to manage everyday childhood illness at home

Context The project was part of a Quality Improvement Fellowship. It worked directly with the local Sure Start children centres. It worked alongside a local strategy to provide paediatric patients with the best care in the most appropriate setting. Problem The aim was to enable children centre staff to empower parents and provide reassurance on managing everyday childhood illnesses at home. Assessment of problem and analysis of its causes A Pre-project questionnaire, completed by 85 parents, demonstrated that most take their children to the emergency department seeking reassurance. The project worked with 2 of 4 local children’s ‘Sure Start’ centres to provide parents with key points to manage 3 commonly seen childhood illnesses at home. The focus was on empowering parents and reassuring them to trust their own instincts. Intervention A facilitator guide and parent information leaflet was produced using information already in circulation. Six childhood illness sessions were run, by the author, during parent and children groups in Sure Start. This was both a demonstration to Sure Start facilitators and gained parent feedback. At the end of each session verbal feedback from facilitators and parents was reviewed and material revised (PDSA cycles). The final version incorporated basic ‘games’ such as true/ false flash cards and question and answer flash cards. Parents stated they found the information ‘useful’, ‘reassuring’ or ‘helpful’. Facilitators found the material ‘easy to use’ and described the sessions as ‘engaging’. They would be able to run a session themselves. A working group was set up to embed the sessions into the regular groups. Strategy for change The material was introduced at the Sure Start Team Lead meetings and parent groups over a 4 month period. The facilitators had opportunity to review the material and observe sessions. They were directly observed and supported when running their first session. The CCG Lead for Sure Start was involved throughout and was key in helping to support the program. A working group of experienced staff was created by the Sure Start Team Lead. The current pilot will run over 6 months Measurement of improvement The material was trialled and reviewed by requesting verbal feedback from both parents and facilitators. The initial three sessions were well received by parents. Facilitators felt apprehensive about responding to medical questions. 7 out of 9 were not confident to run a session alone. More structure and guidance was added and the information was put into a ‘game ‘format’. 3 revised sessions were run. After observing, 7 out of 7 (100%) group facilitators were confident to run a session. A further process measure was the numbers of regular sessions run by confident group facilitators within children centres. This is currently 3 a month in one of the local areas. Effects of changes The parents exposed to the sessions gave positive feedback such as ‘If I had known this before I wouldn’t have worried’ or ‘It’s good to have people coming into groups to talk to parents about things like that’. The main problem was engaging the Sure Start centre staff to lead a session. They liked the material and the sessions but felt apprehensive about leading a session. It took longer than expected to engage them. Lessons learnt I have learnt how important engagement is. Next time I will set up a working group earlier to gain better engagement. Message for others My project has highlighted how important it is to involve patients in new initiatives. For paediatric patients it is really important to understand why parents bring their children in as an emergency. For change to happen it is important to engage and empower parents to make the right choices for their children.

Effect of Conventional and Game-based Teaching on Oral Health Status of Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACTAim: To compare the effectiveness of conventional and game-based teaching on the level of knowledge and practice regarding oral hygiene among 7 to 10-year-old school children.Materials and methods: A total of 60 children aged 8 to 10 years were randomly divided into two groups: groups A and B. The intervention was started after the pretest evaluation of their knowledge regarding oral health and estimation of Debris Index-simplified (DI-S). Children in group A were given oral health education through flash cards once daily for 7 days. Children in group B were educated through the play-way method, i.e. connect the dots game combined with flash cards. The evaluations, regarding oral hygiene and DI-S were recorded on the 8th day after intervention. A follow-up score was also recorded after 1 and 3 months. Statistical analysis was done using paired t-test and Chi-square test.Results: There was significant increase in oral hygiene scores and decrease in debris scores compared to baseline in both groups at 1 week and 1 month. At 3 months interval, both groups showed a decrease in oral hygiene scores from baseline with group B showing highly significant reduction. The mean increase in knowledge score was also significantly better in group B (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The connect the dots game that includes oral health guidelines including good dental hygiene and dietary habits can thus be an effective intervention aid for teaching the basic oral health concepts among school going children.How to cite this article: Kumar Y, Asokan S, John B, Gopalan T.

Effect of Structured Teaching Programme on Knowledge, Anxiety and Behavioral Response of Patients Undergoing' Endoscopy at a Tertiary Care Hospital

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is a common OPD procedure carried out for diagnostic as well as therapeutic purpose. Limited time for interaction between patients and health workers leads to increased anxiety among patients. This study was carried among 50 patients undergoing planned, diagnostic upper GI endoscopy for the first time at a tertiary care hospital. A pre-experimental study was conducted using single group pre-test post-test design. On the day of appointment, their socio-demographic data, baseline knowledge and anxiety levels were assessed using the structured questionnaire and the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory. The patients were then imparted structured teaching programme on the various aspects of upper GI endoscopy using video, flash cards and flip charts and a pamphlet for later reference. On the day of the procedure, their knowledge and anxiety levels were reassessed using the same tool. The patients were provided another session of structured teaching programme using the same AV aids. The behavioural responses of the patients were then observed during the procedure using an observation checklist. Statistical analysis revealed that the knowledge score of the patients increased significantly following the structured teaching (p &lt;0.0001). The mean pre-test anxiety score decreased significantly following the intervention (p&lt;0.0001), only 4 percent had extreme responses like grabbing the endoscope and not maintaining the position

The Effects of Pictorial Typography for Developing Korean Child ESL Learners’ Pre-Literacy Skills

Based on dual coding theory, this study predicted that pictorial typography (PT), a device involving direct visual integration of a written word into a picture of its referent, is more effective for ESL children's pre-literacy skills, than the non-integrated paring of word and picture on flashcards (FC). The two types of instruction were given to thirty-two Korean children aged six and seven, both embedded within the WordWorld (WW) episodes, an animated TV series developed by PBS. Results from the pre- and post-test design were as follows. PT was more beneficial than FC for the two upperlevel skills, vocabulary and reading fluency, while they were equally beneficial for the two lower-level skills, letter recognition and phonemic awareness. The two mediating variables, gender and age, were shown to have partial effects as well. Dual coding theory and the importance of instructional intervention have been supported by this study.

The effect of using flashcards on ESL (English as a Second Language) students’ ability to learn vocabulary

An increased vocabulary and good memory of such vocabulary could help students boost their knowledge of English and better manage conversation and writing skills. This research aims to evaluate two methods of learning using the technique of flashcards. Flashcards can either be bought, already prepared in bookstores, or students can make their own flashcards. Each of these aforementioned methods of acquiring flashcards has its own structure. In the latter technique, whereby prepared flashcards are used by students, there can be various effects on students ability for learning vocabulary. This study was done to test pre-university students attending high school. Students were asked to answer pretest and post test examination questions. Finally the study showed us producing handmade flashcards is infact time-consuming task. Keywords: Flash cards, Vocabulary, Word.
