An Educational Intervention to Promote Access to Rehabilitation for People Living with HIV

This paper describes the design and novel features of an evidence- and theory-informed client activation intervention to increase the capacity of people living with HIV to: 1) self-manage their health-related challenges using rehabilitation strategies, and 2) communicate their rehabilitation needs to their healthcare providers to improve access to rehabilitation. Building on social-cognitive theory and evidence, the intervention is a community-based workshop to develop knowledge and skills of people living with HIV to advocate for rehabilitation services. Novel features include engagement of community-based organisations in a train-the-trainer delivery model, a problem-based learning design to promote problem-solving and application, and a focus on client-centred practice. The intervention is flexible and adaptable. Health providers in other countries and contexts could use the pedagogical features to develop a workshop to meet their local needs. Given that most knowledge transfer interventions aim to change health provider behaviour, the focus on teaching people living with HIV to advocate for referral to rehabilitation is unique. The workshop model may be of interest to those in communities where access to rehabilitation for people living with HIV can be limited due to a lack of knowledge of the potential role of rehabilitation.

An Investigation of Lecturers’ Teaching through English Medium of Instruction—A Case of Higher Education in China

Teaching through English Medium of Instruction (EMI) is a theory-based pedagogy that has been adopted in many European and Asian countries as a strategic initiative in educational internationalization. To date, there has been little research into EMI in-class teaching and learning. In effect, lived experiences in EMI in-class practice have been largely ignored. To address this gap, we reported on a case study that explored the linguistic and pedagogical characteristics of EMI lecturers’ teaching in a university in southern China. Twenty academic staff in the university’s EMI programs were recruited. Their in-class EMI teaching processes were observed and audio-recorded. The data was analyzed by drawing upon multilingualism and instructional design theories. This research found that Chinese EMI lecturers’ bilingual repertoire led to their English instruction featuring Chinese language influences, from pronunciation to syntax and that translanguaging strategies were purposively employed to achieve their goals including students’ cognitive understanding, affiliative bonds and the lecturers’ own survival for teaching. Further, that and the instruction applied in the EMI classes were more topic-centered than problem-centered, focusing on activating new learning and knowledge presentation through demonstration.

Effects of Two TGfU Lessons Period on Game Performance, Knowledge and Psychosocial Variables in Elementary Physical Education.

The purpose of the present work was to explore whether fourth-grade physical education students improved their game performance, knowledge and psychosocial variables with Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) to a greater extent after an eight-lesson period in comparison to a 14-lesson period. The study followed a mixed-methods approach in which the design consisted of a first assessment, a second assessment after Lesson 9 (eight-lesson period) and a third assessment after Lesson 16 (14-lesson period). A TGfU floorball intervention was carried out between assessments. The participants (n = 40) were in their fourth year of elementary education. According to students’ background and setting, we decided to implement three broad and interrelated strategies to enact the intervention built on the TGfU pedagogical features. Data were collected through Game Performance Assessment Instrument, knowledge questionnaire, enjoyment, perceived competence and intention to be physically active scales and semi-structured interviews. Quantitatively, Friedman’s χ2 was used to explore differences in the variables and Wilcoxon’s Z post-hoc comparisons were performed to determine: (a) first–second and first–third assessment differences; and (b) second–third assessment differences. Qualitatively, data were open and axial coded line-by-line and incident-to-incident in sub-themes. The quantitative results show no significant differences between the two periods (p > 0.05). However, there were improvements after both periods compared with the first assessment (p < 0.05). The qualitative information supported that the pedagogical strategies implemented could be key to explain the similarities between the two practice volumes. In conclusion, the amount of practice should not be considered as the only variable in the design of interventions with TGfU.

A Meta‐Analysis on the Effects of Text Structure Instruction on Reading Comprehension in the Upper Elementary Grades

AbstractIn this meta‐analysis, the authors synthesize results from 44 (quasi‐)experimental studies on informational and narrative text structure interventions involving students in grades 4–6 in regular school settings. Findings show that text structure instruction had positive immediate effects on students’ reading comprehension but that effect sizes varied largely across outcome measures: questions (Hedges’g = 0.25), summarization (g = 0.57), recall (g = 0.37), and knowledge about text structure (g = 0.38). However, students who received text structure instruction no longer outperformed control groups at delayed posttests. Content‐related features, such as a focus on paragraph‐level structure, active construction of graphic organizers, and teaching rule‐based summarization techniques, moderated the effectiveness of text structure instruction, but these effects also varied across outcome measures. Instructional features moderated delayed effects: Interventions with opportunities for individual student practice resulted in higher delayed effects for comprehension questions. The authors argue that text structure instruction deserves a place in the primary school curriculum so the positive effects on reading will be maintained.

“Teacher characteristics they value”: London upper secondary students’ perspectives

ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative study is to provide answers to the research question, “What teacher characteristics do London upper Secondary school students value?” Using convenient or opportunity sampling, 51 Grade 12 and 13 students ages 16–18 in a south-west London secondary school were interviewed using a face-to-face method. The analysis of the data revealed that students in this study valued teacher affective and pedagogic characteristics. These include teachers being caring, “relatable” and empathic. Possessing personal traits (agreeableness – characterised by soft-voice, gentle disposition, patience, high expectation of self and students and helpfulness), pedagogic practices (articulateness, teaching that connects with their out-of-school life and takes their perspective in mind; passion; discipline; professionalism and teaching material free of errors) and the infusion of humour during lessons. Firstly, the study reinforced the idea that London, upper secondary students do hold views about teacher characteristics they value and should be given the opportunity to express their opinions. Secondly, Teachers use of humour as appropriate is recommended even though there seems to be no consensus in the literature in this regard. Finally, beginning teachers or newly qualified teachers (NQTs) as well as seasoned teachers should nurture and utilise their affective characteristics. This is so because, as shown in this study, not doing so can result in students being negatively impacted long-term.

ЗАГАЛЬНІ ПРИНЦИПИ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ПІДГОТОВКИ КАДРІВ ДЛЯ ОРГАНІВ ПОЛІЦІЇ У США

Формування порівняльного аналізу принципів професійної підготовки кадрів для американської та вітчизняної органів поліції пов'язане з низкою питань, зокрема й теоретико-методологічного характеру. Однією з головних проблем вироблення такої теорії являється визначення поняття професійної підготовки кадрів. Незважаючи на велику кількість праць, присвячених дослідженню даної проблеми, необхідно зазначити, що в педагогічній літературі так і не сформовано усталеного вирішення цього поняття.&#x0D; Тому метою даної статті є вивчення загальних принципів в організації професійної підготовки кадрів для органів поліції на прикладі закордонного досвіду, а саме американського та впровадження цих принципів в професійну підготовку персоналу Національної поліції України.&#x0D; Наголошено на тому, що сьогодні не досить чітко визначено специфіку підготовки кадрів Національної поліції в Україні, ефективної системи оцінки її діяльності.&#x0D; Встановлено, що у сучасний період всесвітньо визнаним є надбання американського досвіду професійної підготовки кадрів для органів поліції, на основі яких грунтовно розглядається вивчення педагогічних особливостей професійної підготовки кадрів для поліції України, підвищення її рівня та інтеграції в світову педагогічну систему.&#x0D; Проаналізовано зарубіжний, зокрема американський, досвід організації професійної підготовки працівників поліції. З’ясовано можливості застосування даних принципів в професійну підготовку персоналу Національної поліції України.&#x0D; Надаються можливі напрями вдосконалення професійної підготовки вітчизняних працівників поліції, згідно з віковим досвідом правоохоронних органів Сполучених Штатів. Практичне значення отриманих результатів полягає у тому, що вони можуть бути використані при прийнятті управлінських рішень, запровадженні в щоденному застосуванні та розробці заходів з метою підвищення якості рівня підготовки службовців поліції.
