Analysis of the Ability Levels of Biology Teachers to Implement Inquiry-Based Approach in Secondary Schools in Kiambu County, Kenya

The ability levels of teachers to implement an Inquiry-Based Approach (IBA) during teaching corresponds to the ability of teachers to prepare and present inquiry activities, possess pedagogical content knowledge, engage students in critical thinking and questioning skills, understand teaching inquiry using the levels of inquiry effectively, and providing guidance for students during inquiry. Inquiry-based classroom requires building a scientific environment similar to that of scientists which requires asking questions, observing, experimenting, and communicating results. This study investigated the ability levels of Biology Teachers to implement an Inquiry-Based Approach. The study adopted the descriptive survey design which involved qualitative and quantitative data with a target population of 1,194 students from Form 3, 29 Biology teachers, and 37 secondary schools. Data was collected using Biology teachers’ questionnaires, Form 3 students’ questionnaires, and classroom observation schedules. Data was analyzed using descriptive and thematic analysis. The findings show that majority of the teachers understand IBA and can implement IBA during teaching. However, Biology teachers pointed out that, students’ preparedness, inadequate teachers’ training in IBA, limited time, and students’ weak entry behavior in Biology posed challenges to their ability to implement IBA. The study recommends training programs should be organized for Biology teachers to enable them to implement IBA. The study also recommends that the Biology curriculum should have an extended time to enable Biology teachers to implement IBA frequently.

The effect of fitness qigong exercise on college students’ physical fitness based on big data technology

Abstract In recent years, the physical quality of college students has been declining year by year, and it is important to study the influence of fitness qigong exercise on physical fitness. In this paper, we study the principle of the CART decision tree algorithm under big data technology, sort out its algorithm steps, and propose the optimization based on the genetic algorithm to improve the accuracy of the CART algorithm by using two-layer GA for the disadvantage that CART decision tree is easy to fall into local optimum. Then, the GA-CART algorithm is used to explore the relationship between college students’ physical fitness and physical function changes and fitness qigong exercise. After 12 weeks of performing fitness qigong exercise, the BMI of female college students decreased by 2.98 on average, the BMI of male college students decreased by 2.57 on average, and the Velvec index decreased by 0.286 on average. Regarding the effect of physical function, the heart rate of female college students decreased by 2.11, 2.66, 5.97, and 12 weeks after 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks of fitness qigong exercise on average, respectively. 6.31 beats/minute, while male college students decreased by 2.18, 1.81, 4.97, and 5.51 beats/minute, respectively. The study based on big data can provide more scientific guidance for college students to participate in fitness qigong exercises and help them to develop their overall physical fitness.

The influence of racial perception on the recognition and reporting of child neglect

BackgroundA major concern in the detection and reporting of child abuse and neglect regards the phenomenon of racial bias. ObjectiveThis research examined whether the assessment and/or decision making concerning a case of neglect by Student Guidance Center-workers (SGC) is racially biased. Participants and setting238 Flemish SGC-workers participated and filled in the questionnaire. MethodsA visual vignette was used. SGC-workers were shown pictures of a neglectful situation that randomly varied with respect to whether the child in the picture was colored or white or whether the room was empty. Participants indicated (1) if this was a situation of neglect (yes/no) and (2) if they would report this situation (yes/no). ResultsThe assessment was influenced by the color of the child with a moderate effect (V = 0.23). In case of a white child, 84 % of the respondents assessed the situation as neglect. In case of an empty room 71 % and in case of a colored child only 58 % assessed the situation as neglect (p = .002). Reporting of the case was not influenced by the color of the child (p = .875). ConclusionsSGC-workers assessment of neglect appears to be racially biased. White children are considered more as neglected compared to their colored counterparts. Implementing strategies in order to decrease the racial bias is important.

A Modified Guideline for High-Fidelity Patient Simulation to Improve Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning: A Mixed Study.

The coronaviral pandemic has led to a shift in traditional teaching methods to more innovative approaches, such as high-fidelity patient simulation (HFPS), which can improve students' clinical judgment and decision making for quality patient care. A modified guideline was introduced to enhance students' satisfaction and self-confidence in learning through HFPS. The study involved 189 baccalaureate nursing students, with 92 in the intervention group and 97 in the control group. The intervention group received the modified HFPS guideline, while the control group received standard treatment with basic instruction. After the HFPS debriefing session, students provided narrative feedback on their learning experiences. The quantitative results showed that students in the intervention group reported a significant improvement in satisfaction and self-confidence in learning compared to the control group. The modified HFPS guideline provided clear guidance for students to learn and apply knowledge and skills more effectively, leading to increased engagement during interactive simulation sessions. The results suggest that the HFPS guideline should be added to the curriculum to enhance students' satisfaction and self-confidence in learning, even for junior students. After the pandemic, innovative teaching methods, such as HFPS, can be necessary and beneficial for healthcare professional training.

Advances of 3D printing in gastroenterology and where it might be going

Gastrointestinal (GI) system comprises a great number of organs and tissues of various functions, both hollow and solid. However, it is still a less well-developed area for three-dimensional (3D) printing (3DP) applications compared to orthopedics. Clinical applications of 3DP in the GI system are presently restricted to preoperative planning, surgical guidance, and education for students, residents, and patients, either for laparoscopy or endoscopy. Several surgery-related accessories have been designed to facilitate surgical procedures. The results are promising but not adequately proven due to a lack of reasonable study design and proper comparisons. Other important requirements for GI systems in clinical scenarios are structural reconstruction, replacement, defect repair, drug screening, and delivery. Many 3D-printed decellularized, cell-seeded, or even bioprinted scaffolds have been studied; however, most studies were conducted on small animal or in vitro models. Although encouraging results have been obtained, there is still a long way to go before products compatible with humans in size, histology, and functions can be printed. The key points to achieving this goal are the printing material, cell type and source, and printing technology. The ultimate goal is to print tissue and organ substitutes with physiological functions for clinical purposes in both time- and cost-effective ways.

Introduction Academic medicine is an important field that has had a notable decline in physician interest. The aim of this study was to introduce academic medicine to medical students early in their careers with a workshop in the medical school setting, beyond conferences, to promote even greater interest in the field. Methods This workshop consisted of (1) an informational didactic session using a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, (2) small-group breakout discussion sessions to review case scenarios, and (3) a faculty panel to provide personal anecdotes and advice to students. The authors administered online pre- and post-workshop surveys to the students. One workshop was presented to first-year medical students and another to second-year medical students at California University of Science and Medicine. Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 for Windows. Pre- and post-workshop survey question means were compared using a paired t-test. Results There were 104 pre-clerkship student attendees, 83 of whom were in their first year and 21 in their second. Within each class year, there was a statistical significance in pre- and post-workshop survey responses for questions one through four (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001), but question five responses were not statistically significant (p = 0.78). Conclusion Academic medicine workshops held early in medical students' careers are an effective way to foster interest in the field. Implementing academic medicine scholars' programs, in addition to these workshops, can help provide guidance and resources for students who want to pursue a career in academic medicine.

Transformative learning in clinical reasoning: a meta-synthesis in undergraduate primary care medical education

ABSTRACT Clinical reasoning is a vital medical education skill, yet its nuances in undergraduate primary care settings remain debated. This systematic review explores clinical reasoning teaching and learning intricacies within primary care. We redefine clinical reasoning as dynamically assimilating and prioritising synthesised patient, significant other, or healthcare professional information for diagnoses or non-diagnoses. This focused meta-synthesis applies transformative learning theory to primary care clinical reasoning education. A comprehensive analysis of 29 selected studies encompassing various designs made insights into clinical reasoning learning dimensions visible. Primary care placements in varying duration and settings foster diverse instructional methods like bedside teaching, clinical consultations, simulated clinics, virtual case libraries, and more. This review highlights the interplay between disease-oriented and patient-centred orientations in clinical reasoning learning. Transformative learning theory provides an innovative lens, revealing stages of initiation, persistence, time and space, and competence and confidence in students’ clinical reasoning evolution. Clinical teachers guide this transformation, adopting roles as fortifiers, connoisseurs, mediators, and monitors. Patient engagement spans passive to active involvement, co-constructing clinical reasoning. The review underscores theoretical underpinnings’ significance in shaping clinical reasoning pedagogy, advocating broader diversity. Intentional student guidance amid primary care complexities is vital. Utilising transformative learning, interventions bridging cognitive boundaries enhance meaningful clinical reasoning learning experiences. This study contributes insights for refining pedagogy, encouraging diverse research, and fostering holistic clinical reasoning development.
