Determining the Time Management Techniques and Study Strategies of Master’s Students Enrolled in a Graduate Gross Anatomy Course: a Pilot Study

Upon entering graduate or professional school, students are often overwhelmed by the robust amount of information being delivered and the short time frame in which they are expected to learn the content. Students who lack sufficient study skills and time management techniques typically struggle to adapt to the heightened demands of graduate school. However, students who are self‐regulated learners possess the skills to adequately manage their time and monitor their own learning. Self‐regulated learning is the ability to set learning goals, plan study time, and assess learning. At the University of Mississippi Medical Center, there is a one‐year Master’s program—the Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences (MS‐BMS)—intended for students who are pursuing a future career in healthcare. This program introduces students to the coursework often encountered within the first year of medical or dental school, and the academic demands of the program prepare them for the heightened rigor of professional school. This study (IRB Protocol 2020V0105) sought to describe the study strategies and time management techniques of students enrolled in the MS‐BMS Gross Anatomy course. Students who consented to participate in the study (n=84) were asked to complete study logs documenting when, how long, where, and how they studied. In addition, students were asked to complete reflection questions both prior to and following each exam. These questions prompted students to reflect on how they were preparing for upcoming exams, what strategies worked well in their exam preparation, and what strategies needed to be adapted or changed. The information provided in the study logs and student responses to the pre‐ and post‐exam reflection questions underwent thematic analysis to establish codes that capture the time management techniques and study strategies of the Master’s students enrolled in the graduate gross anatomy course. The codes were utilized to establish common themes to describe the predominating student approaches in studying gross anatomy content. Some students reported utilizing less useful methods such as rereading their notes, reading through the lecture presentations multiple times, and watching recordings of the lectures again. Other students implemented more effective methods like using flashcards, self‐quizzing, and creating their own resources such as diagrams and charts. Student perceptions of the assignments were also analyzed, and many students acknowledged the assignments were helpful, held them accountable in their studying, and encouraged them to reflect on the effectiveness of their time management techniques and study strategies. The results of this study will be used to direct the implementation of future assignments geared towards bettering the time management and study strategies of this population.

Phase plot of a gravity pendulum acquired via the MEMS gyroscope and magnetic field sensors of a smartphone

A gravity pendulum experiment in which a smartphone serves as pendulum bob and as measurement device is described. As the pendulum oscillates, the smartphone gyroscope and magnetometer sensors are used to simultaneously record the bob's angular velocity and angular displacement. While the angular velocity is measured directly via the gyroscope sensor, the angular displacement is deduced from the change of the magnetometer reading while the smartphone oscillates in the constant magnetic field of the Earth. These two independent measurements enable us to derive the phase space representation of the pendulum motion directly from experimental data. Further data analysis yields energy plots, including the periodic change between the pendulum's kinetic and potential energy and the energy dissipation due to friction. Detailed instructions on how to adopt the experiment, which is both suitable as a lecture demonstration as well as an instructional laboratory experiment, are provided in the supplementary material.

Створення ментальних карт - інноваційний спосіб організації інформації під час навчання

Reforming higher education, including medical, involves the introduction of the latest educational technologies, which allows to prepare future doctors who can synthesize the acquired theoretical and practical material to correctly diagnose and choose treatment, make decisions in non-standard situations, ie, develop in them clinical thinking. It is established that the information provided in the text version is assimilated by about 70% of students, while the text is supplemented by diagrams, drawings, tables - about 95% of students. In addition, on the one hand it allows to cover the entire structure of the submitted material, on the other hand - reveals the specifics and features of each element in particular. One of the modern innovative ways of organizing information during learning is mental maps - a technique of visualization of thinking; method of recording, using lists and diagrams (for example, «trees» or charts). Mental maps are widely used during the learning process, for example to process and organize information, keep notes of practical classes conducting practical classes and lectures, create lecture presentations, activate the creative component to generate new ideas, brainstorming and more. Mind maps can be created both by drawing and using computer programs such as Google (www.coggle.it), Freemind, MindMeister (www.mindmeister.com) etc. Therefore, to better absorb information, improve the preparation of students for final certification and further professional activities, it is advisable to use a variety of modern educational technologies, including the creation of mental maps that develop thinking, memory and imagination, as well as creativity that promotes effective formation of professional competencies in students. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local ethics committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors. Key words: mental map, learning technology, information, educational process

Features of Distance Learning in Higher Education Institutions in The Context of The Covid-19 Pandemic

The purpose of the research is to study the quality of distance learning. The paper identifies the main problems that arose during the transition to distance learning due to the epidemiological situation in 2020-2021 in the Russian Federation.Materials and methods. To obtain data, a survey was conducted among students of the Crimean Federal University named after V.I. Vernadsky. Because of testing the quality of distance learning, an array of 187 records was obtained. The data were processed in the IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 program using descriptive statistics methods. The following methods were used in the work: analysis of methodological, pedagogical, psychological, scientific, technical and methodological literature on the research problem; private methods - classification, systematization, comparison, analysis and generalization of pedagogical experience, modeling of the content of education. 60.9% of women and 39.1% of men took part in the survey, among them the majority of full-time students (96.2%), less – extramural studies (2.7%) and composite study mode (1.1%). Among the levels of higher education: undergraduate students – 86.8%, graduate students – 10.4% and postgraduate students – 2.7%.Results. The study showed that half of the students of higher educational institutions have adapted to the new conditions of distance learning. Half of them have decreased learning motivation, only a quarter of the respondents are completely satisfied with the quality of the learning process, half note an increase in the workload. When evaluating the quality of software, students noted inconveniences in using the Moodle platform: problems of poor presentation of lectures, technical interruptions in the process of playing back the material, and the absence of valid hyperlinks. More than half of the students believe that they are provided with the necessary amount of material for independent study. When analyzing the degree of social activity, students noted a decrease in communication with classmates and the need for “live” communication with lecturers. More than half of the students note an increase in the level of general anxiety. In the choice of works that lecturers used more often in their classes, students note issuing of tasks for independent performance, placement of educational respondents, half faced difficulties in solving practical tasks without the help of a lecturer and did not always cope with a large amount of given information. Most of the problems in the initial stages of implementation were quickly resolved.Conclusion. Based on the study, it was found that the number of advantages of distance learning prevails over the number of disadvantages. The potential for using training in this format is at a high level, thus providing prospects for its use. However, the study also showed that further work is needed to improve feedback between lecturers and students in the face of declining non-verbal communication. The study proposes ways to eliminate the main difficulties faced by both students and lecturers during distance learning

Water Purification Training for Sejegi Village Community Mempawah Regency

Sejegi Village, Mempawah Timur District, Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan is an area with a fairly large peat area, so it is very difficult for people to get clean water sources. On the other hand, PDAM can not fulfill the community's clean water needs, so the people of Sejegi village generally rely on rainwater as a source of clean water. For this reason, water purification training was carried out for the people of Sejegi Village, Mempawah Regency. The purpose of this activity is to improve the skills of the people of Sejegi Village in purifying peat water so that they get clean water that is suitable for household use, as well as to overcome community difficulties in obtaining clean water sources during the dry season. The training was carried out using a lecture method and demonstration of making a mini water treatment installation using large buckets and cans of used paint, fibers, gravel, whiting, alum and PAC. The training was attended by 30 residents of the Sejegi Village community. The results of the training showed that the community's understanding of the importance of clean water increased after being given the training. In addition, skills in designing water purification with simple materials are also starting to appear. This training is expected to help the Sejegi Village community in solving problems with clean water sources that are suitable for use.

Getting schooled in physics the hard way: A long journey to an inclusive pedagogy

Physics courses—and the lack of physics courses—had a huge impact on my academic career. I attended a high school that transitioned from coed to all girls during my freshman year. With the change, four things disappeared: boys, football, calculus, and physics. Three years later, when I applied to universities, two of my four applications were rejected. I was not qualified to apply, because I had not completed a physics course. As I sat in college Physics 1 on the first day of class, the professor asked us to raise our hands if we had not studied physics in high school. I raised my hand. Suddenly, panic struck me as I realized that not one of the other 400+ mostly male students had raised a hand. In that class I learned that physics teaching means direct lecture, notetaking, and occasional entertaining demonstrations. Not a good fit for a social woman from a very poor family in the East Los Angeles area. Working half time precluded joining study groups, so my struggle to learn physics was difficult and lonely. I succeeded primarily by sheer stubbornness and fear of failure. How I wish I had had fellow travelers on my path.

Bronchiolitis diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in children: an evidence-based clinical practice guideline adapted for the use in Egypt based on the \u2018Adapted ADAPTE\u2019 Methodology

BackgroundThe presented evidence-based clinical practice guideline (CPG) is proposed as a National CPG using an evidence-based and formal CPG adaptation methodology. The purpose of this study was to adapt the international CPGs’ recommendations for children with bronchiolitis to suit the healthcare system in the Egyptian context. This CPG, ‘diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Bronchiolitis’, applies to children from 1 through 23 months of age. Other exclusions are noted. The quality of evidence, benefit-harm relationship, and strength of recommendations are indicated. This study is part of a larger collaborative initiative with the faculty staff of pediatric departments of 15 Egyptian universities and a national research center to formulate a national Committee (EPG) that aims to define the topics of, assign authors to, and assist in the adaptation of pediatric evidence-based CPGs according to a national strategic plan. The committee is guided by a formal CPG adaptation methodology: the ‘Adapted ADAPTE’.ResultsThe Bronchiolitis Guideline Adaptation Group (BGAG) reviewed the results of the AGREE II assessment and decided to adapt mainly the Australasian (PREDICT) CPG and for the questions not answered in PREDICT we adapted the relevant recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) CPG. Seven implementation tools were included: a care pathway for assessment of severity, a clinical algorithm for treatment of acute bronchiolitis in the emergency room, a separate flowchart for assessing babies with bronchiolitis, a power point slide presentation lecture for treatment of acute bronchiolitis, patient information in Arabic, a clinical score (Modified Tal Score) for prediction of bronchiolitis severity, and the criteria for admission and discharge in the hospital. A comprehensive set of multifaceted CPG implementation strategies was provided for the clinicians, patients, nurses, and other relevant stakeholders contextualized to the national settingsConclusionOur experience with this adaptation methodology provides useful insight into its utilization on a national level in Egypt. The BGAG recommended the next review of this adapted CPG to be after 3 years from its publication (i.e., 2022) after checking for updates in the original CPG.

Love After a Fortnight

Love After a Fortnight Park Sang Young (bio) Translated by Sean Lin Halbert (bio) Character is destiny. Afterwards, this is what I repeat to myself. _______ Had the full moon not been out that night, I wonder what would have happened. Had I not worked late that day, had I not ridden home in Han-yŏng's car, would things have been different? It's been just two years, but now it's hard to imagine that I ever had to work late at the office. That day, Han-yŏng and I were managing an event with more than two hundred people. Although we were the same age, and although he had skipped a grade in elementary school, Han-yŏng entered our company four years after me and was placed as my subordinate, a turn of events brought about by a working holiday in Australia and partying away most of his twenties. Being a superior to someone the same age as myself was confusing at first, but we quickly became friends because of our dislike for everything about office parties except for the drinks, of course. We were so close, in fact, that people in the office playfully nicknamed us "office husbands." At the time, our company was riding the American economic boom and enjoying a period of favorable export conditions. [End Page 17] Every day was a new market cap record for our company, and the furnaces of factories around the world were burning hot. But our company feared being hit with heavy taxes as sales were far surpassing our target operating income, so we were looking for excuses to spend a lot of money in the shortest amount of time possible. The company hastily set up a business headquarters for online services (something they knew would become a money sinkhole) and brought in as many famous industry experts as they could. Even at the marketing headquarters where I worked, there were new projects for the sole purpose of spending capital. We paid the hottest celebrities of the time (from both traditional and internet media alike) to appear in advertisements, and we planned all sorts of social contribution activities. It was a capital smorgasbord, a 24/7 business buffet. That day's event was one such feast. We planned a speech for new recruits at the main auditorium at Sŏch'o-dong headquarters and brought in a lecturer who charged a premium. But to make it a real cash dump, we turned it into a "talk and concert" with a hip-hop artist who had won an idol competition and was worth their weight in gold. Even though registration for the event was only open to new recruits, tickets sold out in just three minutes. And on the day of the event, you could hardly find an empty seat in the two-hundred-person auditorium. Unfortunately, the lecturer's presentation only elicited yawns from the audience. He wanted to encourage the new recruits, but he had an odd way of doing it, as he spent most of the talk bemoaning the fact that the current generation was incapable of maintaining its mental health under the weight of fierce competition. "Mortgaging away your youth for the future by ignoring your emotions is foolish," he said. "Live, love, and die!" As I listened to his lecture, which was bordering on the line of irresponsible instigation, I couldn't help but wish that people would pay me to stand up in front of a crowd of two hundred people and spout my unsupported opinions. But thankfully, the hip-hop concert—which I had my reservations [End Page 18] about—was enjoyable, even though they did show up twenty minutes late. _______ The event finished, and perhaps because we had used the most reputable (and most expensive) event planning service we could find, everything from clearing off the stage to packing up went by without a hitch. Han-yŏng and I sat in chairs placed in the corner of the auditorium and watched as the robot-like workers rushed to clear the stage. It was 9 p.m. by the time everything was put away and the auditorium...

Exploring Visualisation for Embryology Education: A Twenty-First-Century Perspective.

Embryology and congenital malformations play a key role in multiple medical specialties including obstetrics and paediatrics. The process of learning clinical embryology involves two basic principles; firstly, understanding time-sensitive morphological changes that happen in the developing embryo and, secondly, appreciating the clinical implications of congenital conditions when development varies from the norm. Visualising the sequence of dynamic events in embryonic development is likely to be challenging for students, as these processes occur not only in three dimensions but also in the fourth dimensions of time. Consequently, features identified at any one timepoint can subsequently undergo morphological transitions into distinct structures or may degenerate and disappear. When studying embryology, learners face significant challenges in understanding complex, multiple and simultaneous events which are likely to increase student cognitive load. Moreover, the embryology content is very nonlinear. This nonlinear content presentation makes embryology teaching challenging for educators. Embryology is typically taught in large groups, via didactic lecture presentations that incorporate two-dimensional diagrams or foetal ultrasound images. This approach is limited by incomplete or insufficient visualisation and lack of interactivity.It is recommended that the focus of embryology teaching should instill an understanding of embryological processes and emphasise conceptualising the potential congenital conditions that can occur, linking pre-clinical and clinical disciplines together. A variety of teaching methods within case-based and problem-based curricula are commonly used to teach embryology. Additional and supplementary resources including animations and videos are also typically utilised to demonstrate complex embryological processes such as septation, rotation and folding.We propose that there is a need for embryology teaching in the twenty-first century to evolve. This is particularly required in terms of appropriate visualisation resources and teaching methodologies which can ensure embryology learning is relevant to real-world scenarios. Here we explore embryology teaching resources and methodologies and review existing evidence-based studies on their implementation and impact on student learning. In doing so, we aim to inform and support the practice of embryology educators and the learning of their students.

Maximizing WhatsApp Group for Students Group Presentation in Learning English Online

WhatsApp Group (WAG) is one favorite choice for an online learning platform in this Covid-19 pandemic era. It is accessible, quite cheap, and user-friendly. Meanwhile, one of the activities in online English learning via WAG is a class group division named Students' Group Presentation (SGP). The aim is to train the students to manage online learning in their classes confidently. Therefore, this study is to describe the lecturer's experience in handling SGP through WhatsApp Group. It provides the learning steps and strategies to maximize the SGP performance. It is not merely presenting the topics, but they also should be creative to live up to the online learning atmosphere. This study is qualitative research and the data were collected from SGP activities in WAG. Firstly, the lecturer gives the example to give the presentations online through WAG such as warming up, brainstorming, main-course, cooling down, giving quote of the day (QOTD), and then closing. Furthermore, the team made presentations alternately at each meeting according to the lecturer's presentation model in several meetings. It is hoped that the results of this study will give contributions and ideas for other lecturers and researchers in teaching English online via WhatsApp.
