Digital Technology, Dtigital Literacy and the Quality of Postgraduate Education

How do graduate students perceive the quality of digital education? With considering the characters of postgraduates, this research examined the mediating role of academic self-efficacy and the moderating effect of digital literacy in the basic model. A survey of 1,256 graduate students in the southwestern region of China was conducted, and structural equation modeling and curve fitting were adopted for mechanism analysis.The research found that the level of digitization in higher education institutions affects postgraduate students' perception of academic self-efficacy, which in turn influences their perceived education quality. Furthermore, in digital education within higher education institutions, postgraduate students with high digital literacy perceive higher perceived education quality compared to those with low digital literacy. The relationship between digital technology and postgraduate students' perceived education quality is not linearly increasing, but rather follows a steep and then smooth upward curve.

THE ROLE OF SIMULATION TRAINING FOR TEACHING (IN TEACHING) ANESTHESIOLOGIST INTERNS: A TWO-WAY SURVEY

Resume. In the modern system of training intern anesthesiologists, simulation training is becoming an increasingly common tool for achieving educational goals. The simulation ensures the acquisition of professional competencies without the risk of harm to the patient and enables teachers to objectively assess the level of professional training of each intern. There is a growing need to review traditional approaches to the interaction between a teacher and an intern with the increasing use of simulation technologies.
 The purpose of the study was to determine the role of simulation training in the teaching of anesthesiologist interns.
 Materials and method. A prospective audit was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Anesthesiology and Intensive Care of the O.O. Bogomolets National Medical University in the period from April to June 2023. Interns of the 2nd year of training in 2023 in the speciality «Anesthesiology and intensive care» were trained in a 1-day simulation training «Critical incidents during anaesthesia". We examine data (lower-level outcomes) assessing the role of simulation training on learning outcomes and willingness to work independently from the perspective of interns and faculty using an anonymous questionnaire at the end of the training.
 Results: the audit included 36 responses from interns and 10 from teachers. Many intern doctors noted an increase in their motivation to study, achievement of educational goals and correction of errors as a result of debriefing thanks to the conducted simulation training. Intern doctors noted that such training was very close to real conditions, it increased confidence in working with patients and readiness for emergencies, helped identify knowledge gaps and was more effective compared to traditional training (lectures, seminars). The results of the teachers' survey confirm the importance of simulation training as an effective means of training interns, which ensures the achievement of educational goals without risks for patients, accelerates the process of acquisition of competencies by learners, increases their motivation to study and objectively reflects the level of skills and knowledge of interns.
 Conclusions. Our research has proven that simulation training should be a mandatory component of the training program of the clinical internship in the speciality «Anesthesiology and intensive care» with an increase in their share in the training program of specialists. Creating conditions of mutual trust between interns and teachers is the key to the social mission of ensuring the quality of postgraduate education. Conducting a debriefing after working out each simulation scenario lays the foundation for the formation of critical thinking in future doctors and helps to avoid mistakes in real clinical practice.
 The role of systematic simulation training at the postgraduate level to improve outcomes in real clinical practice may be the subject of further research.

Harnessing Capacity in Southern Africa to Support and Develop Human Resources for Nursing and Midwifery in Africa – Part 2: Case Studies from the DRC and Mozambique

Human resources for health has been the centre of attention for many decades as more African countries fail to meet health targets even though there is no shortage of country-specific policies and strategies to improve these resources. The WHO Africa region has a critical shortage of nurses and midwives, which will remain unresolved as long as funding and policy implementation challenges persist. In the interim, the profession itself must find innovative and collaborative ways to make inroads into the nursing shortages – specifically in areas where advanced clinical skills are needed. Harnessing capacity from within universities in southern Africa is posited as one of the ways to bolster the education of nurses and midwives. Presented in part 1, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development project aimed to increase the number and enhance the quality of postgraduate education and clinical training of nurses and midwives to improve the quality of healthcare services with particular reference to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality rates. In fulfilling this aim, clinical master’s programmes were developed and implemented in seven African countries. In this article, we chose illustrative case studies to describe the master’s programme design and roll-out, in line with the health profile of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Mozambique. We explain the programme electives, enrolments and throughput, including outputs and outcomes. From experiences gained and lessons learnt, we extrapolate implications for future cases that employ pan-African and south-to-south university partnerships.

Developing PG Students’ Learner Autonomy through the PAH-Continuum: A Case Study

To enhance the current postgraduate educational learning environment, this quasi-experimental case study examined the implementation of the Pedagogy-Andragogy-Heutagogy (PAH) Continuum as an instructional framework for developing basic competencies and learner autonomy among 50 postgraduate students. This is in response to the high attrition rates and students’ failure to graduate on time, afflicting the quality of postgraduate education in Malaysia. Data were collected via pre and post-tests, a questionnaire, and focus-group interviews. The findings revealed significant improvement in the students’ critical reading and research skills, while their learner autonomy level was moderate due to personal and cultural limitations.

Public objectives and policy instruments for improving the quality of postgraduate education in China

This paper mainly introduces and studies public objectives and instruments in educational policies that authorities can use to improve and evaluate the quality of postgraduate cultivation in China. Under the political environment in the state, the standard for the quality of postgraduate education first includes graduate students in higher education institutions who support the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), educational authorities formulate, and implement policies and regulations surrounding postgraduate education under the leadership of the Party committees as well. From the political perspective, moral cultivation should become an important indicator in the evaluation of the quality of postgraduate education. Specific policy instruments including examination and admission systems, graduation requirements, and performance evaluations are designed to increase knowledge and academic skills or allow students to better perform work in their future careers. Although these policy instruments have played some roles in improving the quality of postgraduate cultivation in practice, some associated social negative phenomena also appear in the field, such as academic misconduct, excessive academic and psychological pressure of postgraduate students, etc. The moral cultivation and psychological health should be measured and assessed while evaluating the quality of postgraduate education. The public objectives surrounding the higher education in political level could provide some useful and constructive recommendations to improve the evaluation system that guides the development of postgraduate education.

Early Warning Method of Postgraduate Education Quality in Colleges and Universities Based on Multisource Information Fusion

With the rapid development of postgraduate education in my country, the contradiction between its quantitative growth and quality improvement has become increasingly prominent. At the same time, due to the downward shift in the focus of postgraduate education management, the role of provincial governments in the reform and development of postgraduate education has become increasingly important. Therefore, strengthening the practice of quality supervision and evaluation of postgraduate education at the provincial level is not only a realistic result of the development of postgraduate education in my country but also an inevitable requirement for the further development of postgraduate education in my country in the future, which has an important theoretical and practical significance. With the rapid development and wide application of computer network technology, communication technology, and multisensor technology, multisource information fusion has been selected by many colleges and universities as a method to evaluate the quality of postgraduate study because of its closeness to the frontier of disciplines. Therefore, how to effectively improve the teaching quality of multisource information fusion courses is a practical problem that needs to be solved urgently, and the improvement of teaching quality is also a key factor affecting the comprehensive quality of students. This paper deeply analyzes the setting and requirements of the information fusion course, combines the characteristics of mathematical theory and tools in information fusion, uses multisource data to model student behavior, and proposes a serialized prediction framework based on a deep network. The network structure reasonably integrates multisource data and automatically extracts behavioral characteristics. Combined with the static characteristics of students, the paper uses the long-term and short-term memory network to model the overall online behavior of students and finally predicts the probability that students have academic risks. The model is tested on a real university course dataset, and the experimental results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than the baseline comparison algorithm.

The Role of Research Methodology in Enhancing Postgraduate Students Research Experience

Postgraduate student research experience is key to understanding the quality of postgraduate education. This article presents the critical factors that can enhance postgraduate students' research experience. The research explored postgraduate students' research experiences (n=116) at a research-intensive public university in New Zealand. The aim was to inform the development of a more personalised and scalable research methodology programme. The study identified several factors that can significantly enhance the postgraduate research experience, including the quality of supervision, institutional and department support, personal investment, and financial support. Also, the study found that courses on research methodology play an essential role in improving the postgraduate experience. In particular, providing research methodology education to students during candidacy enriches postgraduate research experience and contributes to the timely completion of postgraduate education. Despite the demonstrated significance of research methodology in postgraduate education, findings revealed that students are generally dissatisfied with the design and teaching of current courses on research methods. Students said courses on research methods are pedagogically monolithic, conceptual challenging, and inflexibly adaptive to individual future career trajectories. Findings also suggest that the way research methods are taught is disengaged from practical problems, with some teaching focused on the higher level of abstraction, with less opportunity to apply what is gained from research methods courses. This research contributes to the growing need to transform the way we design and teach courses on research methods, and the importance employing a research-led approach to inform the transformation.
