THE IMPACT OF OMITTED LESSON PORTIONS ON CONSECUTIVE HIGHER EDUCATION AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The study was conducted in 20 selected Secondary Schools to investigate the uncovered omitted portions of the prescribed phase-out and phase-in biology textbooks of grades nine and ten as per the school academic calendar and the curricula. The purpose of the study was to assess the range of completed portions in comparison with the omitted ones and investigate the loss or educational wastages with their continuing impacts on the academic performances of students in the consecutive higher institutions. The strategic tools used for gathering data are classroom observations (lesson plans and delivery interactions) assessments of the covered and the omitted portions of each unit of each grade of the phase-out and phase-in textbooks of biology and exercise books of the students. In view of that, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected; descriptive, evaluative and data analyzing methods were used. The omitted prescribed portions of the phase-out biology of grades nine and ten values accounted for 65.5% and only 34.5% of the prescribed portion values were covered. Similarly, the omitted prescribed portions of the phase-in biology of grades nine and ten values accounted for56% and only 44% of the prescribed portion values were covered. The total average of the educational wastage (loss) of both phase-out and phase-in prescribed portion values of biology textbooks accounted for 60.25% and only 39.75% of the values were covered. Educational wastages negatively influenced the academic and professional skills of students, affected the quality of higher education by which many students end up with academic dismissals or remain jobless due to incompetency as the record is now and timely increasing. It shows failures in the academic succession of learner in the continuing professional and skill development as well as the determinant of the growth of the country.

Teaching Methodologies for the Development of “Problem Solving” Competence Among Nursing Students

Higher education must take on the demands of the labour market. Therefore, university degrees must develop professional skills in students to enable their employability and professional achievements (Rodríguez, 2006; Tejada y Ruiz, 2013). Problem solving is a key skill, directly correlated to the concept of competence and problem solving in context (Tobón, 2012).This paper presents the results of research on teaching methods that develop the skills associated with critical thinking; problem solving is one of them. The study was conducted in the Nursing degree, with a sample of 95 2nd year students. The methodology of the study is of mixed type: a questionnaire and field journals, both given to students.Quantitative results show that the teaching strategy that generates the greatest development of problem solving in students is problem-based learning - PBL. The qualitative results, coming from the analysis of field journals kept by students during a semester, show the solution of problems as a process composed of identifying the problem, defining and presenting the problem, and exploring different strategies to achieve the goal.The research shows that working with simulated cases, with active and participatory methodologies in the classroom, makes students face complex situations; this generates integrative learning experiences that enable the development of the competence of problem solving.

Application of Experimental Teaching in University Education of Inorganic Material Specialty English

In the paper, the experimental teaching is adopted to the inorganic material specialty English to promote the English comprehensive ability and professional skills of students. The experiment is to prepare sepiolite nanofibers by means of the microwave chemical method using natural sepiolite samples as raw materials. Through the experiment, the English practical ability and skills of students are developed.

Application of Task-Based Language Teaching in University Education of Functional Materials Specialty English

Functional material specialty English teaching aims at fostering technical personnel with a high level of English proficiency; however, the goal is not achieved due to the boring teaching mode of imparting knowledge. In the paper, task-based language teaching, which is student-centered and characterized by learning by doing and using, is applied to the functional material specialty English to arouse initiatives of students through completing tasks in authentic situations, thus developing their English comprehensive abilities and professional skills. The task is to prepare sepiolite nanofibers by means of the high-speed air current superfine technique using natural sepiolite samples as raw materials and then make a presentation to describe the whole process of the experiment in English in the class. Teachers should monitor the progress of the task to help students complete the task successfully and develop a sense of responsibility to cultivate their practical ability of language using. Through the task, English comprehensive abilities and professional skills of students are improved, and specialty English teaching abilities of teachers is developed.

Patient perceptions of medical students’ involvement in their obstetrics and gynaecology health care

To determine perceptions held by patients of the involvement of medical students in their obstetrics and gynaecology health care. This study evaluated patients' perceptions of medical students involved in their care at a tertiary women's hospital. A questionnaire was used to collect patients' perceptions of the student's professional skills, their attitude to and level of comfort in the patient and student interaction. Ninety-five percent of patients approached participated in this study. Results demonstrated a high level of patient satisfaction with student involvement in care. Most patients believed students should be part of the hospital team and were prepared to have a student involved in the future. Satisfaction levels were higher for patients for whom English was their first language, women under 40 years of age and those receiving care in assessment and in-patient settings. Patient comfort in student participation was greater for those seen by a female student and those who had previously had a student involved in their care or previously attended the hospital. Patient perceptions of students' involvement in their obstetrics and gynaecology care are mainly positive. Satisfaction levels differ with the gender of the student, the age of the patient, the location of care and for those for whom English is their first language. Attention must be paid to informing patients of the presence and possible level of interaction of students in their care.

Survey of veterinary technical and professional skills in students and recent graduates of a veterinary college.

To determine perceptions of veterinary technical and professional skills among veterinary students and recent graduates. Cross-sectional study. 281 students and 142 recent graduates from the Ontario Veterinary College. A survey was designed and administered to first- through fourth-year students and veterinarians who had graduated either 1 or 6 years before survey administration. Overall response rate was 70%. Learning about technical and professional skills was highly valued. Most participants felt they had not received instruction about professional skills, but those who had felt more competent about them. Perceptions of competence increased slightly with increased comfort discussing emotional veterinary issues with instructors. Neither gender nor increased age was related to increased feelings of competence. Almost all fourth-year students felt competent and comfortable about examining an animal with the client present, assessing suffering, diagnosing parvovirus infection, performing surgery, and working as group members. However, many did not feel competent or comfortable about delivering bad news, setting time limits yet providing quality service, helping clients with limited funds make treatment decisions, dealing with demanding people, and euthanasia. Feelings of competence and comfort were closely related but were not identical. In the interests of best preparing entry-level veterinarians, technical and professional skills need to be emphasized in a learning environment where students feel comfortable discussing emotional veterinary issues. A professional skills curriculum addressing underlying self-awareness, communication, and interpersonal issues, as well as procedural matters, would likely increase the proportion of fourth-year students who feel competent and comfortable about professional skills by the end of their undergraduate training.

The way we teach medical students professional skills.

This article describes the progressive development of professional skills at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Newcastle, Australia's newest medical school. These professional skills include information gathering (history taking and physical examination), information giving (patient information and education, case history write-up and case presentation) and management (counselling and monitoring) skills, as well as interpersonal, interactional and communication skills which are so important in the modern medical environment. The progressive development of these professional skills and their integration with basic, behavioural and clinical sciences in a problem-based curriculum is believed to be a rational approach to the development of an efficient, effective and caring doctor.
