The predictors of nursing students' clinical competency in pre-internship objective structured clinical examination: The roles of exam anxiety and academic success

BackgroundIdentifying the predictors of nursing students' clinical competency in objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is of utmost importance. Therefore, the present study was to investigate the predictive roles of exam anxiety and academic success in nursing students' clinical competency in the pre-internship OSCE. MethodsIn this descriptive-analytical study, a total number of 102 nursing students, meeting the inclusion criteria and enrolled in the sixth semester (third year) of the graduate nursing program in Iran, were firstly selected by the census method. The pre-internship OSCE was then implemented at eight stations based on a pre-designed schedule template. The required data were also collected through a demographic-academic characteristics questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to determine the exam anxiety score, the nursing program grade point average (GPA) to reflect on the levels of academic success, and the OSCE score to control clinical competency. The data analysis was also performed at the significance level of 0.05. ResultsThe linear regression model, in which the exam anxiety, the nursing program GPA, and the demographic-academic characteristics variables had been imported, could explain 33.52% of the variance of the nursing students' clinical competency in the pre-internship OSCE (R2 = 0.616). Of the variables concerned, only the nursing program GPA could be a significant predictor of the nursing students' clinical competency scores in the OSCE, so that 0.8 points were added to the clinical competency scores in the OSCE as the nursing program GPA increased by one unit (p = 0.000, β = 0.717), but no significant relationship was observed between exam anxiety and clinical competency in the pre-internship OSCE among the nursing students. ConclusionsThe results of this study endorsed the use of the OSCE in assessing the nursing students' clinical competency and implementing learning strategies to strengthen the levels of academic success in such individuals.

The Effectiveness of Learning Freestyle Swimming Using the ISLAMT<sub>2</sub>E Based on Static Swimming Tools

Quality teaching is inseparable from the learning strategies applied in delivering material in theory and practice. However, implementing learning strategies that will provide meaningful learning and a learning atmosphere for students is not an easy matter because students are unique individuals, different from one another, especially in their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Based on this, lecturers must have sufficient initiative, knowledge, competence, and adequate conceptual power to implement an effective lecture strategy. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of learning freestyle swimming by using the ISLAMT₂E learning strategy for students. This study used an experimental method with a randomized pretest-posttest control group. The research subjects were 40 people in the experimental group and 40 people in the control group. The conclusion of this study proves that learning to swim freestyle using the ISLAMT₂E strategy on static swimming tools has been proven to be effective in improving students' swimming skills. The magnitude of the increase in students' swimming skills in the experimental group was seven people (17.5%) in the low category, 33 people (82.5%) had the moderate category, and 0% high category. In the control group, the increase in swimming in the low category was 31 people (77.5%), nine people (22.5%) in the moderate category, and the high category 0%. This means that there are differences in learning outcomes of freestyle swimming skills between the experimental group and the control group.

‘Learning for resilience’ as the climate changes: discussing flooding, adaptation and agency with children

Climate change scenarios project higher flood risk, so knowing how households can increase socio-ecological resilience is essential. Children rarely feature in UK policy guidance about how households prepare for floods, and research is limited about children’s roles in local resilience building. Using a participatory action research, child-centred methodology we explored (7-9year old) children’s knowledge, skills and dispositions in discussions about flooding, suggesting processes for effectively engaging them in Learning for Resilience (LfR). Results suggest children have existing knowledge, skills and dispositions concerning local and international flood risk originating from various sources. They displayed cross-cultural learning, embryonic systems-thinking, and understandings of theirs and others’ agency, including adults’ reasons for un-preparedness, revealing awareness of risk underestimation and deferral/denial of risk. The paper offers framing of a new taxonomy for young children’s significant ‘LfR’ and seven ‘top tips’ to facilitate, design and implement learning strategies with children around environmental risk, in the UK and internationally, in climate change contexts.

Analysis of Student’s Difficulties in Solving Physics Problem: Impulse and Momentum Topics

Physics education essentially intends to cultivate student’s analytical and reasoning capabilities. However, this objective is hard to achieve because there are many students who facing difficulties in solving physics problems. This research was conducted to identify the types of student’s difficulties in solving momentum and impulse problems, along with the factors causing it. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach to 66 students of Senior High School 2 Makassar who had studied momentum and impulse topics. The data collection process was carried out using test and interviews. Based on the results, it can be identified that there are two types of student’s difficulties in solving momentum and impulse problems. The first type was physical difficulties which consisted of student’s difficulty in understanding the questions (26%) and student’s difficulty in determining the useable equations (25%). Then, the second type was mathematical difficulties which consisted of student’s difficulty in substituting the data to the equation (63%) and student’s difficulty in performing mathematical operations (76%). Based on interviews and analysis, it can be concluded that these difficulties was commonly faced by students while solving physics problems, including in momentum and impulse topic. Futhermore, the difiiculties were caused by several factors, namely: 1) the lack of student’s understanding about physics concepts, 2) the weakness of student’s mathematical skills, 3) the lack of physics learning process which is not honing student’s problem-solving skills and 4) the lack of student’s motivation on developing their problems solving skills in physics subjects. Thus, researchers recommend to all physics teachers in Indonesia to immediately develop or implement learning strategies or methods which are considered capable of overcome all student’s difficulties that have been found.
