The Comparing of Korean Learner’s Perception of Teaching Presence in Online and Offline Korean Language Classes

The purpose of this study is to improve the quality of online and offline Korean classes in order to increase the demand for Korean and to globalize Korean language education.<br/> In this study, online and offline Korean language classes were conducted for learners to compare the Korean learner’s perception of Teaching Presence. The participants of the study were 116 students from Korean language class who belonged to two different groups. One group studied in an online learning environment and the other group studied in an offline environment. Data analysis was completed using descriptive statistic analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis with SPSS 21.0. In addition, in order to examine the mediating effects of the perception of Teaching Presence, the major findings from the study were as follows:<br/> The perception of Teaching Presence in the offline class proved to be more effective than in the online class. The perception of Teaching Presence is a sensation that people experience when they work with complete focus and has been validated in numerous studies as a critical component of learning. This study suggests that further development of specific teaching and learning methods should be developed in order to effectively conduct classes online. Also, in order to develop high-qualified online courses in Korean language education, we suggest the providing of training for Korean educators, and the development of software specializing in language education.

Vulvodynia: What is available online? A systematic review of information on the internet.

This review aimed to evaluate the quality of medicalinformation online for patients relating to vulvodynia. To our knowledge no evaluation of online patient information exists regarding vulvodynia and, at present, there is no standardized or validated method of evaluating medical information on the internet. A clearly defined protocol was developed to generate keywords relating to vulvodynia. The three most popular search engines worldwide; google.com, yahoo.com, and bing.com, were searched in September 2020. Three assessors evaluated eligible webpages for accuracy, credibility, readability, and reliability. Forty-five webpages were eligible with 38% given HON certification or Information Standard approval. Only one webpage achieved a DISCERN score of ≥63 indicating excellent reliability. No webpages scored a maximum 10 points for credibility. Eleven percent of webpages were rated "accurate" with score 17 or above. The modal Flesch Kincaid Grade Level was 9 with only 15.6% having a readability grade level of 8 or less. It has been shown in previous studies that patient information available online pertaining to gynecological conditions is frequently inaccurate, with limited regulation and low reliability, and our findings are in agreement with this. As patients increasingly look to the internet for medical information and education, we as clinicians, need to ensure the resources available are of a high standard and regulated. Without ensuring safe and effective healthcare resources, we risk misinformation which can negatively impact clinical care.

Patients’ Satisfaction with the quality of online versus in-person DBT skills group therapy: A pilot study

IntroductionSince the beginning of the COVID-19 era, there has been a major shift of psychiatry and psychotherapy practice to the online venues, or what has been broadly known as telepsychiatry. A practice that has been very practical since then. And yet, there has been a debate about the patients’ degree of satisfaction with the therapeutic process, especially with a modality like group therapy, which has not been widely researched.ObjectivesThe objective of this pilot is to assess the level of patients’ satisfaction among both online and in-person participants of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills group as a part of comprehensive outpatient DBT program.Methods27 DBT skills group participants completed an online form including demographic data, type and duration of group attended, in addition to the Arabic version of the Satisfaction with Therapy and Therapist Scale- Revised (STTS-R).ResultsThe majority of the 27 participants were females (88.9%), of which 81.4% were 18-34 years old and 77.4 % at least had a university degree. Among all the participants, 63% were online group attendants versus 37% in-person. The mean total of patient’s satisfaction with the in-person group was 53.5 in comparison to 49.2 in online group participants. Also, 90% of in-person group participants reported that the group helped them in dealing with presenting problem to an extent in comparison to 82.2% of online participants.ConclusionsAlthough the COVID-19 pandemic mandated more use of telepsychiatry, in-person DBT skills group participants reported higher satisfaction of their therapy in comparison to online group participants.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Evaluation of the quality of information online for arthroscopic Bankart repair.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality and readability of information online for patients searching terms related to arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR). Google, Yahoo and Bing were searched with terms related to ABR. The quality of information was assessed using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Benchmark criteria, DISCERN Score, and the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease & Grade Level. The presence of the HONcode marker was noted. Additionally, we used a scoring system specific to content relating to the ABR (AB score), a 1-20 Likert scale. Websites were also categorised according to the source: academic institution, physician, allied healthcare, commercial, media or social media. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism. Ninety-six unique websites were evaluated, with the most common website category being physician websites (52) and academic institution websites (24). There were nine websites with the HONcode marker. The average JAMA Benchmark criteria score was 1.95 (1-4), the average DISCERN score was 48.8 (20-78), with an average Flesch-Kincaid reading ease of 50.9 (11-96) and grade level of 8 (1-18). The average AB score was 5.9 (0-18), and there was a strong correlation with a higher DISCERN score (r=0.57), but not JAMA score (r=0.18) or Flesch-Kincaid grade (r=0.16). Websites with the HONcode marker did not score higher in any criteria than those without it (p>0.05). The quality of information on physician websites was better than (statistically insignificant) non-physician websites; however, the readability of information in the former was poorer (statistically significant) than the latter. There was wide variability in the quality and readability online of the information on ABR, and the AB scoring system was shown to correlate strongly with increased quality.

A Learning Analytics Approach to Monitoring the Quality of Online One-to-One Tutoring

One-to-one online tutoring provided by human tutors can improve students’ learning outcomes. However, monitoring the quality of such tutoring is a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a learning analytics approach to monitoring online one-to-one tutoring quality. The approach analyzes teacher behaviours and classifies tutoring sessions into those that are effective and those that are not effective. More specifically, we use sequential behaviour pattern mining to analyze tutoring sessions using the CM-SPAM algorithm and classify tutoring sessions into effective and less effective using the J-48 and JRIP decision tree classifiers. To show the feasibility of the approach, we analyzed data from 2,250 minutes of online one-to-one primary math tutoring sessions with 44 tutors from eight schools. The results showed that the approach can classify tutors’ effectiveness with high accuracy (F measures of 0.89 and 0.98 were achieved). The results also showed that effective tutors present significantly more frequent hint provision and proactive planning behaviours than their less-effective colleagues in these online one-to-one sessions. Furthermore, effective tutors sequence their monitoring actions with appropriate pauses and initiations of students’ self-correction behaviours. We conclude that the proposed approach is feasible for monitoring the quality of online one-to-one primary math tutoring sessions.

Evaluation of the Online Music Flipped Classroom under Artificial Intelligence and Wireless Networks

The study aims to explore the online music flipped classrooms based on artificial intelligence (AI) and wireless networks. A backpropagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm optimized by the genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to evaluate the teaching quality of music flipped classrooms and analyze the problems in the current teaching mode. First, an evaluation index system is established for online music flipped classrooms; second, a questionnaire is designed according to the index system. After the data are collected, the GA-BPNN evaluation model is used to evaluate the teaching quality of the music flipped classrooms. Finally, the model’s performance is evaluated based on the forecast accuracy compared with the model implemented only by the BPNN. The simulation results show that the GA-BPNN evaluation model can effectively evaluate the teaching quality of flipped classrooms, and the evaluation results are objective and accurate. The model overcomes the shortcomings of traditional evaluation methods. The study has great practical significance and provides a basis for improving the teaching quality of online flipped classrooms.

Hate speech’s double damage: A semi-automated approach toward direct and indirect targets

Democracies around the world have been facing increasing challenges with hate speech online as it contributes to a tense and thus less discursive public sphere. In that, hate speech online targets free speech both directly and indirectly, through harassments and explicit harm as well as by informing a vicious environment of irrationality, misrepresentation, or disrespect. Consequently, platforms have implemented varying means of comment-moderation techniques, depending both on policy regulations and on the quantity and quality of hate speech online. This study seeks to provide descriptive measures between direct and indirect targets in light of different incentives and practices of moderation on both social media and news outlets. Based on three distinct samples from German Twitter, YouTube, and a set of four news outlets, it applies semi-automated content analyses using a set of five cross-sample classifiers. Thereby, the largest amounts of visible hate speech online depict rather implicit devaluations of ideas or behavior. More explicit forms of hate speech online, such as insult, slander, or vulgarity, are only rarely observable and accumulate around certain events (Twitter) or single videos (YouTube). Moreover, while hate speech on Twitter and YouTube tends to target particular groups or individuals, hate speech below news articles shows a stronger focus on debates. Potential reasons and implications are discussed in light of political and legal efforts in Germany.

Pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain: Exploring the use of digital media for condition-related information provision

Background: Online health information-seeking is thought to be common among pregnant women, and the use of digital media has been widely adopted. Women with pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain (PLPP) are often disappointed with the volume and content of condition-related information offered by their healthcare providers and alternative modes of information provision therefore need to be explored. The widespread adoption of digital media suggests that such platforms may provide a convenient alternative for information delivery. Aims of this study: To explore the PLPP-related information-seeking practices of women experiencing this condition and the attitudes of National Health Service (NHS) service users and healthcare professionals towards the use of digital media for PLPP-related information provision. Methods: Multi-method qualitative study: individual semi-structured interviews with seven NHS service users and two single-profession focus groups, one with six NHSbased midwives and one with four NHS-based physiotherapists. A framework method of thematic analysis was used. No member checking was undertaken. Results: All service users were aged 21-36 years, with gestational age 10 years post-qualification and had experience of an antenatal clinic setting. Two physiotherapists were 5-10 years post qualification, two were >10 years postqualification. All had relevant experience of treating women with PPLP. Searching online for condition-related information was reported by all service users and complex drivers for this behaviour were described. All stakeholder groups shared concerns about the quality and trustworthiness of PLPP-related information available online. The use of apps for condition-related information provision was viewed positively by all groups, but the majority of service users stated a lack of trust in health information obtained via social media. Conclusion: The development of an app-based intervention to facilitate the management of PLPP is supported by this study and is therefore worthy of further exploration.

An Exploration of the Content and Quality of Online, Text-Based Coach Development Programs Specific to Parasport

Nonformal learning opportunities, such as accessing text-based online resources, are an important means of developing parasport coaches’ knowledge of how to coach. However, the focus of such resources, as well as their quality and quantity, are unknown. Using an adapted version of Lefebvre, Evans, Turnnidge, Gainforth, and Côté’s taxonomy of coach development programs, the authors explored and cataloged text-based online resources for parasport coaches identified through a broad Internet search. In addition, the technical quality of these resources was evaluated. After cataloguing and evaluating 136 resources, professional knowledge domains, specifically pedagogy and planning, were identified as the most commonly targeted domains of focus. The least frequently cited professional domains of focus were maltreatment, movement fundamentals, and preventative health and health promotion. Limited resources addressed interpersonal and intrapersonal domains of focus. Resource quality varied greatly, but the overall quality was low indicating that increasing the technical quality of online resources should be prioritized in the future.

Theoretical model and measurement of shared decision making in web-based pharmaceutical care consultation.

ObjectivesWe aimed to construct a theoretical model and an observer-based measurement of shared decision making (SDM) in web-based pharmaceutical care consultation.MethodsWe first constructed a theoretical model through analysis of SDM models and interviews with 24 key informants. Then, the initial measurement was formulated, and the content was evaluated by 16 key informants alone. A cross-sectional study was executed, where 300 provider-patient encounters were collected at the online platform ‘Good Doctor Website’, for reliability and validity assessment. Content validity was evaluated by appropriateness score, that is the median of 7–9 and without disagreement. Interrater reliability was evaluated by Spearman correlation coefficient using 30 out of 300 samples. Single indicator validity was tested by Pearson correlation analysis, and convergent validity was evaluated by the Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model using 300 samples.ResultsTheoretical model constructed included four elements: ‘comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition’, ‘exchanging ideas on medication options’, ‘achieving a medication plan’, and ‘providing decision support’. Measurement constructed included four dimensions and 19 items, and four dimensions were in accordance with four elements of the theoretical model. We found median scores of these dimensions and items were 7–9 and without disagreement, indicating good content validity. Spearman correlation coefficients of 19 items were greater than 0.750, suggesting good interrater reliability. Pearson coefficients between 19 items and their external variables were significant (p < 0.001), and MIMIC model results showed that the R2 values of dimensions 1–4 were over 0.5, indicating good single indicator validity and convergent validity.ConclusionsCharacteristics of web-based pharmaceutical care consultation, highlighting the importance of medication history, medication regimen, and detailed medication plan, were observed in the theoretical model. Measurement constructed had good reliability and validity and may be used by health policymakers to improve the quality of pharmaceutical care consultation online.

Problems of quality of distance learning online

From this paperwork we see distance learning and its relationship to emerging computer technologies have together offered many promises to the field of education. In practice, however, the combination often falls short of what it attempts to accomplish. Some of the shortcomings are due to problems with the technology; others have more to do with administration, instructional methods, or students. Being positively motivated to take an online course of study, they, nevertheless, face a number of challenges while learning at a distance. These involve low self-organization, lack of control on the instructor’s side, lack of effective interaction, and a sense of isolation, which decrease their satisfaction with an online learning experience. These findings prove the thesis that to be highly successful and effective distance learning requires considerable attention and commitment on the part of faculty. The role of faculty is manifested in the way the instruction is designed and delivered as well as in the faculty's ability to incorporate relevant course content with the emphasis on student support, interaction and assessment techniques as these are the key issues in effective distance learning.
