Inter-rater Reliability of Pressure Pain Threshold Between Experienced and Novice Examiners: A Case Study of 2 Educational Approaches.

Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) is used to objectively assess pain in clinical settings and is a recommended part of physical therapist education. An individual who is experienced in administering PPT will frequently train a student on the technique; however, optimal educational approaches for this instruction have not yet been identified. Therefore, the purpose of this case report is to describe 2 educational approaches (unstructured lecture and structured feedback with clinical relevance) in training 2 separate cohorts of Doctor of Physical Therapy students in PPT. The primary outcome of interest was the inter-rater reliability of PPT between an experienced and novice examiner. Cohort 1 (n = 37) received a traditional lecture approach consisting of watching a prerecorded video online, an in-person lecture with demonstration of the technique, and time to practice. Cohort 2 (n = 34) received the prerecorded video online and lecture with demonstration; however, key additions included a clinical relevance discussion along with structured peer-to-peer and instructor-to-student feedback using a competency-based checklist. PPT was assessed by each student (novice examiner) and one instructor (experienced examiner). Inter-rater reliability of PPT between a novice and experienced examiner was evaluated. Inter-rater reliability improved from poor/moderate (intraclass correlation coefficient low back = 0.46 [0.16-0.68], quadriceps = 0.54 [0.26-0.73]) to good (low back = 0.84 [0.67-0.92], quadriceps = 0.90 [0.79-0.95]) after the addition of structured feedback. Structured feedback from peers and instructors may be useful when learning PPT and improving inter-rater reliability, which has implications for training students within a laboratory or classroom. However, this case study would need to be replicated in an experimental design to examine the effects of varying types of feedback on learning outcomes.

Improving Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Chemistry Through Interaction Pattern Approach

The study determined the effect of interaction pattern approach on secondary students’ achievement in Chemistry. The study was carried out in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design. Specifically, the pre-test, post-test non-equivalent control group design was used. A sample size of 112 (45 male & 67 female) out of the 1,522 senior secondary two (SS2) Chemistry students was selected using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. A 50 multiple-choice objective items Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) developed by the researchers was the instrument used for data collection. The reliability index of 0.92 was obtained for CAT using Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance (w). Data were analysed mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that interaction pattern approach (IPA) significantly improves students’ achievement in Chemistry than the conventional lecture approach (CLA). Gender has no significant influence on students’ achievement in chemistry when taught using IPA. Also, there is no significant interaction effect of instructional approaches and gender on students’ achievement in chemistry. Based on the findings, it was recommended that chemistry teachers should make use of IPA to improve students’ achievement in the subject and promote gender friendly chemistry teaching and learning.

Effectiveness of buzz session teaching and perception among medical students: an academic interventional study.

This interventional study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of buzz session teaching in large groups and assess undergraduate medical students' perceptions of the buzz session teaching method. The study involved 100 first-year medical students divided into two groups, i.e., group I as "buzz first" and group II as "didactic first" comprising 50 students each. The topic "Physiology of the Cerebellum" was taught to group I through a buzz session and to group II through a didactic lecture. After a week, group I received a didactic lecture on the topic "Anterolateral Pathway in the Spinal Cord," whereas group II was taught the same by a buzz session. The students of both groups underwent a multiple choice question exam related to the taught topic immediately and again after 15 days of the teaching session. All students were provided feedback on a five-point Likert scale for the buzz session. According to students' perceptions, buzz sessions boosted communication skills and confidence levels by 94.8% and 96.3%, respectively. Of the students, 93.7% felt that the buzz session helped them retain more information and 94.1% thought they made the classroom environment more lively. More buzz sessions were desired by 94.8% of the participants. There was no difference in the marks gained for the acquired topics using buzz sessions and didactic lectures as teaching methods (P > 0.05). The students scored more marks in the tests taken after the buzz session than after the didactic lecture at 15 days of instruction (P < 0.05). The study concluded that students enjoyed the buzz session teaching method. The buzz session increased short-term retention.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this current interventional study, we assessed the effectiveness of a buzz session as a novel teaching tool for large-group physiology instruction in first-year undergraduate medical students. Furthermore, we assessed student responses to see how the buzz session was perceived. Experimental evidence indicates that the buzz sessions led to greater retention after 15 days than the didactic lecture approach for physiology teaching in a preclinical context.

Using organizational theory components to improve the structure of blended/flipped classes: Understanding the impact of design choices

Technological advancements and market pressures are driving the development of pedagogical course design approaches. By using organizational design research into structuring organizations and work processes to improve effectiveness and efficiency, we focus on two structural constructs from organizational design research: standardization (of coordination including active learning components) and centralization (of decisions making for course implementation). This paper examines the impact of changes to these constructs during the conversion of a course from a traditional (face-to-face) to a blended/flipped modality. Findings show that structuring a course based on standardization and centralization can affect the student outcomes in the course. Specifically, revealing no statistical difference in short-term student performance from the traditional lecture approach to the blended/flipped approach; however, lower variability in performance occurred across sections. In addition, a lagged learning effect derived from an exit exam in students’ last semester, revealed a statistical difference with students from the blended/flipped approach achieving higher long-term learning scores. We offer this as an argument for the effectiveness of the standardized active learning components embedded within the new course structure.

Using immersive virtual reality technology to enhance nursing education: A comparative pilot study to understand efficacy and effectiveness

The U.S. faces a national shortage of nurses. The emergence of human-centered digital technologies has directly impacted nursing education. Using immersive Virtual Reality related digital technology to assist and enhance nurse education is promising but not yet fully understood. This study aims to understand the effectiveness and efficacy of immersive Virtual Reality nursing education approaches through a comparative pilot study. Three immersive Virtual Reality scenarios based on basic nursing skills were developed. A traditional video lecture approach including the same contents was used as a comparable approach to investigate the effectiveness and efficacy performance of the proposed immersive Virtual Reality approach. 22 participants were recruited from a college. Effectiveness was measured through motivation and knowledge gain, while efficacy was evaluated through simulation sickness, user experience, and system usability. The results showed that the VR approach has above “acceptable” efficacy performance, which indicates participants are willing to accept this novel education approach. The effectiveness results indicate that the VR approach has similar performance with the video approach in delivering nursing contents. One limitation of this investigation is that the sample size is relatively small and further larger sample sizes are needed for future analysis.

The Flipped Classroom Approach in a Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship Curriculum.

Background The flipped classroom approach is well documented to enhance medical education outcomes. Additionally, both the need for online learning materials and the increased demand for medical professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic has made this approach more relevant. The pediatric anesthesiology fellowship curriculum at one institution transitioned from a traditional classroom model to a flipped classroom approach to optimize the educational experience and support learner well-being. Approach Utilizing the American Board of Anesthesiology(ABA)and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education(ACGME) content outlines, a novel, comprehensive curriculum was developed focusing on core clinical material and board review with the goal of providing structured learning while alleviating the burden of completing board review independently to improve work-life balance and reduce the potential for burnout. Evaluation Graduates of the program from 2017 to 2021 evaluated the flipped classroom structure and its perceived impact on their educational outcomes, wellness, and career development via a one-time, voluntary survey. Results indicated improved participation rates and educational benefits with the flipped classroom structure compared to the traditional structure. Fellowspreferred the flipped classroom approach to the traditional lecture approach (72.2% vs. 27%), and they preferred custom-made prework material to traditional textbooks and articles. Fellows benefited from having more time for personal activities and other scholarly work, as evidenced by open-ended responses. Implications The flipped classroom structure was perceived as beneficial by pediatric anesthesiology fellows because of increased educational engagement, alleviation of academic burden, and improved wellness due to more time for non-academic activities. Further study is needed to optimize and correlate the new curriculum with objective educational outcomes.
