Learning from Online Professional Practice in Higher Education in the Covid-19 Knowledge Economy

There has been a sea change in the pressures on higher education institutions (HEIs) with the advent of internet technologies, pressure on universities to ‘deliver value for money’ and the Covid-19 pandemic (‘the pandemic’). Before the pandemic some commentators predicted that over 50% of colleges and universities in the United States may close or go bankrupt within a decade (Dover, 2021) and arguably, pressures on universities have intensified as many have been forced to deliver education purely online. This paper examines postgraduate professional practice courses (that include a work placement) for international students in the context of these challenges. It explains why such courses are important for helping students with their employability and how such courses help provide ‘value for money’ and reviews literature about this. Also, the paper explains and discusses learning trends from reflective reports of students and compares what was learnt in the past with learning experiences of students in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. It also includes personal reflections of a tutor who taught professional practice through the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper concludes that similar skills and competencies have been learnt by professional practice students. However, in the pandemic, the students and tutor faced challenges that mirror the challenges faced in organisations. These include: greater unemployment/pressures in employment, challenges of social isolation/mental strength and the increased importance of resilience. This meant that a larger percentage of students in the Covid-19 pandemic failed to get work placements but that all the students on the course learnt similar skills and attributes to students on the same course in previous years. Hence, the courses are valuable for equipping students for the challenging work environments – even during a pandemic.

Students’ Perception of the Effectiveness of Technology Assisted Online Education During COVID-19 Pandemic: An Empirical Study

Purpose: The whole calendar year 2020, as well as early indications, suggest, the year 2021, would be challenging for the global community. The COVID-19 pandemics spread through the world, affecting all facets of human endeavor, from industrial development to academic calendar re-adjustments at all educational institutions around the world. Stakeholders and administrators of academic institutions have no choice but to use internet technology, and therefore online learning, to continue academic activities in all institutions around the world. This paper aims to determine if students in higher educational institutions are happy with technology-assisted Online Education during COVID-19 Pandemic. The study used an online survey to find out how students are coping with online education, which has been around for years but is still not widely used, and how happy they are with it. Methodology: Convenience sampling was employed to collect data for the analysis because it is a non-probability sampling methodology. The aim of using this method is to come up with hypotheses and conduct exploratory research on the topic. It also addresses budget and time constraints. As participants in this research, students from higher education institutions responded to the survey. Higher education students are preferred because they have already been exposed to technology, online platforms, and the ability to adapt, which is the essence of remote learning. Findings/Result: The study's findings show that adding online education was a good decision since the majority of students surveyed supported it in this epidemic since it allowed them to complete their studies. In terms of satisfaction with online education, the study discovered that there is a gender divide. Students are self-sufficient in terms of the devices they use to take online classes, with a large percentage of students attending online classes using their smartphones. Synchronous delivery options, such as live classes, are not preferred by online educators. Female students spend more time on online education activities than male students. Finally, the study discovered that the most significant barrier to students participating in online education is a lack of internet connectivity in both rural and suburban settings. Originality: This study examines how satisfied students are with technology-assisted online education at higher education institutions. The results of this study would be very useful to the administrators of higher education institutions in making potential emergency decisions about the planning of online learning services for students from various backgrounds. Paper Type: Exploratory data analysis (EDA). This type is used to comprehend and summarize the contents of a dataset, usually to answer a particular query or to prepare for more sophisticated statistical modeling in subsequent stages of data analysis.

Nanotechnology Knowledge and Attitude among Undergraduate Dental Iraqi Students

Objective: Nanotechnology is “a term that involve a spectrum of technologies, techniques and processesthat can deal with a matter at the nanoscale”. Many new diagnostic modalities and nano-delivery systemsthat have been introduced by improvement of the materials mechanical and physical properties’ in the fieldof dentistry.The aim of study was to evaluate undergraduate dental student perceptions of nanotechnologyin Iraq. Method: This study was based on an online questionnaires distributed to students of dentistry forthe five stages, a number of students (417), the questioner include general information and then questionsdistributed into four axes. The generation of a single variable in the second, and third axes was analyzedby five point of Likert scale. Result: 58% of students had an idea about nanotechnology, while 42% ofstudents did not had an idea about nanotechnology. the largest percentage of students have difficulties inaccessing information about nanotechnology. The largest percentage of the student want to introduce thenanotechnology in the curriculum, also largest percentage of the student wish to search information aboutthe nanotechnology and support the use of nanotechnology in clinic. Conclusion: Based on the results ofthis study, the dental students of University of Babylon have inadequate knowledge about nanotechnologyand its applications in field of Dentistry. We think that the incorporation of nanotechnology in the dentistrycurriculum of colleges in Iraq was mandatory.

Developing English Language Training Program for Students Depending on Outcome-Based Education: Case Study Ho Chi Minh City Industrial University, Vietnam

Outcome-Based learning is becoming more and more popular worldwide since the 1980s, and now it is a very vital approach in education. This study aims to examine the satisfaction of undergraduates with their learning outcomes of EFL attainment based on the four English skills which include: listening, speaking, writing, and reading, and also their learning activities perceptions and assessment tasks applied in the class. The study participants involved 300 third or fourth-year students who had completed the four courses of General English (GE) and did different disciplines at Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The study employed both open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires as data collection instruments. Data were analyzed by content analysis and descriptive statistics. From the findings of the study, it was evident that a larger percentage of students were not very satisfied with their learning outcomes, and those students had a negative perception about assessment tasks and learning activities applied in the class. However, a larger percentage of the students were very satisfied with the writing sub-skill. The study recommended that the quality of implementation of the EFL curriculum should be improved particularly at the university and generally at the Vietnamese tertiary level.

Alcohol use, cigarette smoking, vaping and number of sexual partners: A cross-sectional study of sexually active, ethnically diverse, inner city adolescents.

ContextThere are few UK data on the prevalence and clustering of risky behaviours in ethnically diverse adolescents.ObjectivesTo investigate the prevalence of reported alcohol use, smoking and vaping, and explore whether these behaviours are associated with increased numbers of sexual partners.DesignQuestionnaire survey of ‘Test n Treat’ chlamydia screening trial participants.Setting and participantsSexually active students attending six London technical colleges completed confidential questionnaires and provided genitourinary samples.ResultsThe median age of the 509 participants was 17 years (IQR: 16‐18), 47% were male, 50% were of black ethnicity, 55% reported ≥2 sexual partners in the past year (67% of males and 45% of females) and 6.2% had chlamydia infection and 0.6% gonorrhoea. Almost half (48%) reported getting drunk in the past month, 33% smoked cigarettes and 7% had ever vaped.A larger percentage of students with ≥2 sexual partners than 0‐1 partners reported getting drunk in the past month (53.7%, 144/268% versus 42.2% 94/223, adjusted prevalence ratio: 1.33, 95% confidence interval: 1.11‐1.61) and smoking cigarettes (36.6%, 100/273% versus 30.2%, 67/222, 1.34 (1.05‐1.70)). By contrast, multiple sexual partners were not associated with vaping or chlamydia infection, but numbers were small.ConclusionsWe found high prevalences of risky behaviour and an association between multiple sexual partners and smoking and/or getting drunk. Findings support the introduction of compulsory sex and relationship education in UK secondary schools, including information about the adverse effects of alcohol and smoking.Public contributionParticipants helped with study design, conduct and interpretation.

Application of Zoedpuzzleizz as a Clinical Class Accompanied by Remote Blended Learning Methods

The background of this research is that the clinical class is formed from the presence of students who did not complete with scores below the minimum completeness criteria at SMAN I Tumpang based on the semester credit system. The selection of the remote blended learning method was included in this study, because the situation and conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic required this school to follow government rules for learning online. The purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of completeness, feasibility, and creativity of students in the clinical class in implementing Zoedpuzzleizz accompanied by a remote blended learning method. The research method used is descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. Based on the research results, it was concluded that: 1) the large percentage of students' creativity in studying physics in the clinical class was achieved 100% with the average value of skills in the clinical class of 85, which is the number above KKM is more than equal to 78. 2) The percentage of the implementation of the Zoedpuzzleizz application is accompanied by a remote blended learning method in catching up with the behind-the-scenes concepts that have been suffered by students in clinical classes, amounting to 90% of implementation for teachers and 89% for students. 3) The percentage of completeness of understanding physics learning achieved in the clinical class in the application of the Zoedpuzzleizz application is 100% with an average of 91.5.

Medical students' perception of the reliability, usefulness and feasibility of unproctored online formative assessment tests.

Medical education has gone online because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Formative assessment is essential to facilitate the learning process in medical education. However, various challenges arise during online assessment, which include reliability, when done without monitoring and practical concerns like Internet connectivity issues. This study was done to assess the medical students' perceptions of the reliability, usefulness, and practical challenges of online tests. One hundred first-year undergraduate medical students taking up online classes and tests in the subject of physiology were enrolled in this study. A questionnaire with items regarding practical challenges, reliability, and usefulness of the online tests, in general, and about different types of online assessment methods, in particular, were sent to the students online. Each item was rated on a five-point Likert scale, and the responses were analyzed anonymously. A large percentage of students used mobile phones (81.4%) to undertake online tests. Although most students (73.2%; P < 0.001) felt that online tests helped them substantially in learning the subject, network connectivity issues were considered to be a matter of serious concern (85.5%, P < 0.001). Among the assessment methods used, viva voce by video conferencing was thought to be most reliable (83%, P < 0.001). Multiple-choice question-based assessment when done online was felt to be more practically feasible with faster feedback than classroom assessment. The results of the study suggest that medical students find online formative assessments helpful for their learning, despite their concerns about reliability and practical challenges.

Greek Myth or Fact? The Role of Greek Houses in Alcohol and Drug Violations on American Campuses

Greek-letter student social groups, better known as fraternities and sororities, are a ubiquitous feature on many American higher education campuses. These organizations, especially fraternities, have a reputation for encouraging unruly and improper behavior among both members and non-members. This paper investigates the effect of the degree of prevalence of these Greek organizations at a campus, as measured by the percentage of students who are members of fraternities and sororities, on the instances of liquor and drug law violations on campuses, as measured by the number of arrests for liquor and drug laws violations. Using a unique dataset, which combines data from three sources, we find that a larger percentage of students in fraternities (but not sororities) is associated with an increase in the number of arrests for drug law violations. A larger percentage of students in sororities (but not the percentage of students in fraternities) is associated with a larger number of arrests for liquor law violations. This result is highly significant and is robust across various specifications.

INNOVATION IN THE GLOBAL PEDAGOGY: LEARNING THROUGH THE METHODOLOGY OF "SHENBANG»

Problem statement. The article discusses the problem of creating an innovative system of teaching schoolchildren, taking into account the requirements for the modernization of the educational system in China. The problem can be solved by developing the student's autonomy. The purpose of the research is to conduct a comparative analysis of methodological and theoretical methods for developing the autonomy of subjects of the educational process based on the material of the Shenben training system and the traditional training system. Subject of research – national-pedagogical system of training of pupils Shenben. Results. The humanistic paradigm of education today is focused on individual and personal characteristics with different abilities and cognitive needs of schoolchildren. In China's school system, a large percentage of students have high scores on their final exams. However, in everyday life, they rarely use their knowledge, do not show initiative, and children lack creative potential. In the traditional Shiben system, the main role in the educational process belongs to the teacher. The result of the research is the theoretical and methodological development of the "Shenben" method, which involves constant development and improvement depending on the current context. Conclusion. The developed author's method "Shenben" rebuilds the educational process, orients it to the child, who acts as an important resource against the background of Confucian culture and taking into account all the advantages of traditional education.

COMPARAÇÃO DE SABERES ETNOHERPETOLÓGICOS ENTRE ALUNOS DE ESCOLA RURAL E URBANA

Etnoherpetologia visa compreender o conhecimento popular associado a anfíbios e répteis. A relação dos humanos com o meio é construída desde a infância, quando se inicia o processo de interação com o mundo. Este conhecimento intrínseco reforçado pelo senso comum é construído ao longo do tempo e pode perpetuar explicações simplistas ou errôneas de processos biológicos que não são compreendidos sem conhecimento científico. Com isso, o presente estudo investigou os saberes populares de alunos de uma escola rural e uma urbana acerca das serpentes. A pesquisa foi conduzida durante o segundo semestre de 2019 entre alunos do 6º ano, pois ainda não estudaram zoologia no ambiente escolar. Foram investigados 52 alunos de escolas do estado do Espírito Santo, sendo 27 de uma escola rural de Santa Teresa e 25 de escola urbana de Cariacica. Constatou-se que todos os alunos compreendem que a principal prática de primeiros socorros em acidentes ofídicos é conduzir a vítima ao hospital. Porém, foram preocupantes as menções de métodos perigosos e caseiros. Foi verificado um grande percentual de alunos cujas experiências de encontro com as serpentes envolveram matança do animal, principalmente na zona rural, onde os encontros foram mais comuns. Apenas alunos que nunca tiveram contato com serpentes não cogitaram a matança como atitude primária a ser tomada. Atividades educativas são importantes iniciativas para minimizar as ameaças sofridas pelas serpentes, visto que ainda despertam sentimentos de medo e repulsa, tornando-as mais suscetíveis a injúrias antrópicas, mesmo quando não conferem qualquer ameaça.

A Step-By-Step Process for Selecting Technology Tools for Students With ADHD

A nearly unlimited number of technology tools and applications exist to support students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, finding these tools, researching their effectiveness, observing their use, and evaluating their implementation can be a time consuming and daunting task if a technology professional is not available. Students with ADHD make up a large percentage of students with disabilities, but they often do not qualify for services that would facilitate evaluation for technology tools, leaving the responsibility of supporting them on the classroom teachers. In this article, the authors provide a streamlined process that includes the use of student-driven goals, online technology tool finders, and evaluation techniques. Using this process, teachers can include student and parent perspectives, determine appropriate tools from current technology, and evaluate the tool’s support based on progress toward selected goals.

The relationship between social networking sites usage and psychological distress among undergraduate students during COVID-19 lockdown

During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, interpersonal interactions are restricted to social networks. Undergraduate students are isolated in their homes and dorms. Loneliness is closely related to psychological distress. Fear of contracting the disease will worsen psychological distress. The purpose of this study was to assess the severity of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms among undergraduate students and their relationships with social networking sites usage during the COVID-19 lockdown. An online survey was used to recruit 456 participants for this cross-sectional descriptive study. Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect data on students' demographics, depression, anxiety, stress, and social networking usage. The results revealed that the majority of students had symptoms of depression (74.1%), anxiety (59.6%), and stress (61.2%). Female students had higher depression and anxiety symptoms than males. Senior-level students' psychological distress symptoms were significantly different from those of junior level. The largest percentage of students (91.9%) used social networking sites for entertainment. The academic usage of social networking sites was negatively (p < .05) correlated with depression and stress scores, while entertainment usage was positively correlated with anxiety. Age was not found to be significantly correlated with psychological distress. Academic and entertainment use of social networking sites were successfully associated with psychological distress symptoms after controlling for demographics. During this unprecedented time of undergraduate students’ course of study, they were experiencing higher than average distress symptoms. These symptoms could be mitigated by continuing the regular academic activities and delivering the most accurate up-to-date information on the COVID-19 through social networking sites.

Diagnosis of the reading and interpretation of statistical graphs by undergraduate students from economic-administrative sciences programs at the University of Guadalajara

Recently, statistical reasoning has been of vital importance not only in quantitative analysis but also in the interpretation of graphs at all educational levels. There are students that can make calculations almost immediately but are not able to interpret or present their ideas graphically. In this way, the present study seeks to conduct a diagnostic of the problems that economic-administrative students have when reading and interpreting graphs in their statistics courses. For this, a Spanish version of the test Comprehensive Assessment of Outcomes in Statistics (CAOS) was administered. This instrument allows for the determination of reasoning applied to different types of statistical graphs and in some cases to determine what type of calculation is required to do it. The instrument was applied to 138 undergraduate students from the economic-administrative area of the University of Guadalajara during January-June 2018. The results show that a large percentage of students confuse a normal distribution with a uniform one and that they are unable to distinguish that a bias can be determined from the measures of central tendency and dispersion, as well as other statistical reasoning difficulties. This may be as a result of a deficiency that exists in statistical teaching, an insufficient mathematical preparation on the part of the students, among other factors.

Self-Medication Among Undergraduate Students

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of self-medication among undergraduate students of medical sciences Study design and setting: Cross-sectional Study was conducted at Al-Tibri Medical College Hospital, from October 2019 to February 2020. Methodology: Data was collected after an ethical approval of concerned institute; total of 150 students included from the 1st, 3rd and final year of MBBS. Valid questionnaire was used to evaluate the response of the participants regarding selfmedication. Verbal consent was taken from the students, and then they were asked to fill their responses. Data was evaluated in the form of frequency and percentages through SPSS version 21.0. Chi-square test was applied, and the level of significance was considered p=&lt;0.05 Results: Out of total of 150 students, 58.7% were males and 41.3% females. In students of 1st, 3rd and 5th year the most common morbidity for seeking self-medication was headache, flu/cough, fever, and pain. The percentage of drug/ drug groups commonly used for self-medication included antipyretics being 36%, 54% and 64%, antibiotics were 50%, 86% and 90%, and analgesics was 42%, 62% and 64% in 1st, 3rd and 5th years respectively. Common reasons for pursuing selfmedication were minor illnesses (50%, 81%, 94%), easy availability (52%, 82%, 92%) and quick-relief (50%, 58%, 100%) in 1st, 3rd and 5th year respectively. Conclusion: In the present study, self-medication was observed in a large percentage of students. Thus, medical curricula need further consideration to promote awareness regarding the disadvantages of self-medication in undergraduates so we can curb this self-medication culture from our society

Heading toward Equality: Preservice Teachers’ Interventions to Change Students’ Conceptions of the Equal Sign

ABSTRACT Research indicates that a large percentage of students have misconceptions of the equal sign and that this can be detrimental to their mathematical pursuits as they progress through algebra. In order for students to develop a strong understanding of the meaning of the equal sign, algebra teachers must be aware of the viewpoints their students will hold pertaining to the equal sign and strategies to encourage a relational view of the equal sign and a progression of sophistication within the relational spectrum. In an algebra course for preservice teachers, we created a project where they investigated students’ conceptions of the equal sign and determined interventions to foster more productive views. The purpose of our study was to examine our preservice teachers’ ability to differentiate between the various students’ conceptions of the equal sign, to determine which teacher interventions resonated well with the preservice teachers, and to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the project. This article will also outline ideas for other mathematics teacher educators that wish to implement similar practice-based teaching experiences in their content courses and potential paths of future research.

The effect of smartphone usage on student discipline, motivation and learning achievement

This study aims to explain the effect of smartphone use on student mathematics learning achievements. The method used in this study is the collection of correlation data using questionnaires and interviews. The subjects of the study were 158 students at the Al Azhar 7 Islamic Middle School in Sukabumi. This research is based on the use of smartphones among students, whose intensity is increasingly increasing, has even become a trend. Uncontrolled use of smartphones results in discipline, motivation and learning achievement being interrupted. The first process is to look for the influence of intensity of smartphone usage on students’ learning discipline, on motivation and on student achievement. The research instrument consisted of 12 items of student learning activities and 14 items of smartphone use, 14 items of learning motivation. The data analysis method used is the Validity Test and Reliability Test techniques. Based on the data analysis (assumptions) that have been done, the results of the research from Pearson Corelation show that r = 0.321 with P = 0.000 (P <0.05). This means there is a relationship (-) between the intensity of smartphone use with discipline, motivation and learning achievement of students. This means that the higher the intensity of smartphone use, the lower the discipline, motivation and learning achievement of students, and vice versa. The intensity of smartphone use gives a large percentage of students’ discipline, motivation and learning achievement, while the rest is determined by other variables not examined. The results of this study’s data analysis that the relationship between the intensity of smartphone use and discipline, motivation and learning achievement of students is inversely or inversely. So that the conclusions in this study can be said that smartphone use in class VII has a negative relationship between the intensity of smartphone usage with acceptable student learning discipline, but smartphone use in class VIII is inversely proportional, because although the intensity of smartphone use in class VIII is high but achievement they are still good, their tap can divide the time between smartphone use and learning.

En función de la orientación recibida, ¿qué eligen hacer nuestros estudiantes en su futuro próximo?

L'orientació acadèmica i professional té nombroses limitacions dins del sistema educatiu i, tot i ser un dret dels estudiants dins la legislació espanyola, són diverses les millores que caldria fer per poder garantir la seva eficàcia. En aquesta investigació es presenta una anàlisi de la relació que existeix entre la percepció de l'alumnat sobre l'orientació acadèmica i professional rebuda en els seus respectius centres educatius i la selecció del itinerari un cop finalitzats els seus estudis de batxillerat. Amb una mostra de 540 individus, els resultats permeten confirmar que sols el 38.3% dels alumnes entrevistats consideren útil l'orientació rebuda, mentre que la resta dels entrevistats o bé no han rebut orientació o bé tenen una percepció negativa de la mateixa. Independentment d'això, un gran percentatge dels alumnes decideix l'itinerari que desitjaria cursar al finalitzar els seus estudis de batxillerat, fet que suposa un problema al no comptar amb la correcta informació que els centres educatius haurien d'haver proporcionat.

The Efficacy of an Image-to-Writing Approach to Learning Abstract Scientific Concepts: Temperature and Heat

Temperature and heat are difficult concepts for children to grasp due to their abstractness. An image-to-writing approach, guided by the visualisation practices of scientists, was designed to engage elementary students with constructing images to represent their ideas about phenomena and translating these images into text using scientific terminologies. Taking a quasi-experimental approach, the experimental group students received inquiry-based instruction based on the image-to-writing approach, while the control group students received a mix of direct instruction and inquiry activities without explicit focus on multimodal representations. An instrument consisting of four free response questions was developed and administered to 129 primary 4 students (aged 9–10) before (pre-test) and after (post-test) instruction to determine their conceptual understanding and representational competences. ANCOVA showed that students in the experimental group perform significantly better than those in the control group in their conceptual understanding. Further analysis revealed that a larger percentage of students in the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of conceptual understanding after instruction, compared to the control group for more complex phenomena, even though both groups showed similar levels of representational competences. The findings suggest that an image-to-writing approach can help students develop deeper conceptual understanding as well as use representations to demonstrate their conceptual understanding. The use of images could have helped students in their thinking and learning of complex phenomena, which allowed them to better convey their understanding of the concepts.

Awareness of different forms of child abuse among Beni Suef University students: descriptive survey

BackgroundChild abuse is a worldwide phenomenon that can cause intense long-term aftereffects.AimTo evaluate the awareness of Beni Suef University students about different forms of child abuse as well as the size, causes, and complications of this problem in our society and determine the prevalence of physical child abuse.MethodsThe study included 1688 students from health science and non-health science colleges of Beni Suef University, Egypt. The study participants were asked to answer a questionnaire of two parts. The first part included questions about demographic data and personal experience of child abuse, and the second part included questions about opinions of participants on child abuse to assess their awareness and if there was any difference in the level of awareness between students of health science colleges and those of non-health science colleges.ResultsHealth science college students were more life satisfied and felt more loved. Only 28.91% of the included students were not exposed to child abuse, while 12.59% of them suffered from wounds or fractures as a result of the abuse they were exposed to. About one third of the students thought that the commonest form of child abuse is verbal punishment such as threatening or humiliation and that the age at the greatest risk for abuse was the primary school age. About 68.36% of students thought that sexual abuse is a huge problem in our society. Only 21.56% of students disapproved child corporal punishment. More than half of the students stated that the most dangerous complication of child abuse is psychological problems such as depression. Most of the included students would talk to the child’s parents and advise them if they saw a case of abuse, while the least would call the police. Only half of the students disapproved female genital mutilation (FGM). The strongest predictive factors for FGM approval were rural residence and male sex. Students mainly thought that FGM is a social habit that is carried out for ethical causes. About half of the students approved legal punishment by the court for FGM performers.ConclusionA significant proportion of the students experienced physical child abuse which left no injuries in most cases; males and first academic year students show more exposure to abuse. Moreover, most of the students think that child corporal punishment can be allowed although about half of them think that the most dangerous aftereffect of child abuse is psychological problems. Lack of reporting the exposure to child abuse is explained by the largest percentage of students to be due to lack of awareness. Rural resident males show more approval of female genital mutilation. A significant lack of awareness about FGM complications is observed in both groups (the health science and non-health science college groups) and the opinions of both groups are very close.
