Medical Student and Faculty Attitudes Toward Translanguaging with Spanish-Speaking Patients

Background: Spanish is the second most common US language, and Spanish speakers commonly translanguage—spontaneously integrate multiple languages. Medical language courses have proliferated, yet learner and faculty attitudes about translanguaging with patients remain unexplored. Also, it is unclear whether medical Spanish courses address real-world patient linguistic practices, such as translanguaging. Methods: We applied a community cultural wealth framework to identify translanguaging practices relevant to patient-physician communication: regionalisms, Spanglish, and non-standard language usage. From January 2020 to May 2021, we surveyed students (n=355) and faculty (n=14) in a standardized medical Spanish course at 14 sites on their attitudes toward translanguaging practices. Results: Regionalisms were the most widely accepted translanguaging practice by both students and faculty, and this opinion was reinforced by the course (94% pre vs. 95% post-course agreement; p=0.045). Student agreement with Spanglish was moderate and declined post-course (58% vs. 55%; p<0.001). Faculty were likelier than students to be accepting of non-standard language usage (57% faculty vs. 5% students; p<0.001). Conclusion: Medical students and faculty reported mixed attitudes about translanguaging practices in healthcare, and taking a medical Spanish course had variable effects on student responses. Future work should focus on developing and evaluating medical Spanish educational pedagogies that explicitly incorporate real-world patient perspectives and promote flexible language use that prioritizes mutual respect and understanding.

Effect of Verbal Encouragement on Performance and Affective Responses in Male Sport Science Students during Sprint Modalities.

This investigation aimed to examine the effect of verbal encouragement teacher to student (VETS) versus verbal encouragement student to student (VESS) on physical performance and affective responses during different modalities of sprint tests in active male students. In a randomized crossover design, twenty-two male sport science students (age: 21 ± 1.2 years, body height: 1.77 ± 0.3 m, body mass: 76.6 ± 2.1 kg, BMI: 22.9 ± 1.3 kg·m-2) performed linear and change-of-direction sprint tests under one of three conditions: (1) VETS; (2) VETS; (3) no verbal encouragement. In each condition, participants performed the 20 m sprint test, the 10 × 2 sprint test, and the L sprint test. The assessed parameters comprised physical performance, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and a feeling scale. Post hoc test analysis indicates a significant increase in physical performance during VETS and VESS conditions compared to the control condition due to a decrease in sprint in line 20 m (VETS: p < 0.001, d = 0.55; VESS: p = 0.016, d = 0.41), sprint 10*2 (VETS: p < 0.001, d = 0.64; VESS: p = 0.05, d = 0.36), and sprint L (VETS: p = 0.001, d = 1.19) times compared to the control condition. Moreover, the feeling score was greater after VETS compared to other conditions (p = [<0.001-0.001], d = [0.77-1.18]). In addition, the RPE had no effect on sprint performance between the different conditions. It is indicated that VETS, rather than VESS, is a more significant and effective way to increase effort intensity and positive feelings during sprinting modalities.

Understanding the talk patterns in secondary school classrooms

There is a growing body of literature which highlights the relationship between classroom talk and learning. However, despite the growing acceptance of the link between talk and student learning, talk remains an undervalued pedagogical practice by many teachers. This is particularly evident in secondary school classrooms. This paper presents the findings of a research project examining the talk patterns of seven secondary school teachers from a range of learning areas. A video recording of each teacher’s lesson was the source of data. The teacher talk behaviours and student responses were coded highlighting 11 teacher talk behaviours and seven student response types. The results showed that over half of the teacher talk behaviours involved either instructing or asking closed questions. We also found the highest proportion of students’ responses involved explaining or labelling in response to teachers’ talk. Our data indicates that there was variation in the teacher talk behaviours that appeared to directly impact students’ responses. While the teachers talk patterns were predominantly instructing, the talk behaviour of the students was mainly labelling (one word or short responses) or yes/no responses. There was evidence of students explaining when the teachers engaged in higher proportions of open questions. Our data suggests that this was a key teacher talk behaviour to facilitate this talk behaviour in the students. The findings from this research have implications for understanding the challenges faced by secondary school teachers as they support students in a mainstream classroom setting.

A Student Teaching Assistant Program for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Antiracism Curricular Enhancement.

In the United States, physician bias is exhibited early in medical training and contributes to systemic inequities within the field of medicine. A lack of diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism (DEI-AR) content within medical curricula drives critical gaps in knowledge and deficiencies when preparing medical students to serve patients of diverse backgrounds. At the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine (MCASOM), student-led curricular reviews between 2017 to 2018 and 2020 to 2021 revealed opportunities to improve DEI-AR content within preclinical courses. Course directors expressed concern of limited expertise and time to enact effective changes. The MCASOM DEI-AR teaching assistant (TA) program aims to curate a collaborative partnership between course directors and compensated student TAs to facilitate course enhancements responsive to the prior preclinical course review while centering standardized DEI-AR best practices. As of January 2024, the program has engaged 14 TAs and partnered with 24 preclinical courses. Postcourse student evaluation responses were collected from 8 courses for 2021 to 2022 (before enhancements) and 2022 to 2023 (after enhancements). Student satisfaction with DEI-AR content is tracked through postcourse evaluations, with preliminary data demonstrating improvement after DEI-AR curricular integration (improvement of mean preenhancement and postenhancement scores of 3.81 to 4.05; t12 = 1.79, P = .21). Qualitative student comments were sorted into general categories of positive, negative, or neutral, showing a 6.25% median increase in positive perception of DEI. Plans for the MCASOM DEI-AR TA program include application of quality improvement strategies to improve program processes and outcomes. Development of a centralized dashboard that integrates course enhancement progress and ongoing feedback from evaluations is anticipated to facilitate this effort. The program additionally aims to develop partnerships with clinical clerkships, which would allow for a more comprehensive enhancement of the overall medical education experience related to DEI-AR.

R.I.M.E. and reason: multi-station OSCE enhancement to neutralize grade inflation

ABSTRACT To offset grade inflation, many clerkships combine faculty evaluations with objective assessments including the Medical Examiners Subject Examination (NBME-SE) or Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), however, standardized methods are not established. Following a curriculum transition removing faculty clinical evaluations from summative grading, final clerkship designations of fail (F), pass (P), and pass-with-distinction (PD) were determined by combined NBME-SE and OSCE performance, with overall PD for the clerkship requiring meeting this threshold in both. At the time, 90% of students achieved PD on the Internal Medicine (IM) OSCE resulting in overall clerkship grades primarily determined by the NBME-SE. The clerkship sought to enhance the OSCE to provide a more thorough objective clinical skills assessment, offset grade inflation, and reduce the NBME-SE primary determination of the final clerkship grade. The single-station 43-point OSCE was enhanced to a three-station 75-point OSCE using the Reporter-Interpreter-Manager-Educator (RIME) framework to align patient encounters with targeted assessments of progressive skills and competencies related to the clerkship rotation. Student performances were evaluated pre- and post-OSCE enhancement. Student surveys provided feedback about the clinical realism of the OSCE and the difficulty. Pre-intervention OSCE scores were more tightly clustered (SD = 5.65%) around a high average performance with scores being highly negatively skewed. Post-intervention OSCE scores were more dispersed (SD = 6.88%) around a lower average with scores being far less skewed resulting in an approximately normal distribution. This lowered the total number of students achieving PD on the OSCE and PD in the clerkship, thus reducing the relative weight of the NMBE-SE in the overall clerkship grade. Student response was positive, indicating the examination was fair and reflective of their clinical experiences. Through structured development, OSCE assessment can provide a realistic and objective measurement of clinical performance as part of the summative evaluation of students.

Exploring the factors shaping business students’ environmental concern

Purpose Increasing the need for education for sustainable development in universities requires an understanding of the predictors of students’ environmental concern (EC). In this paper, the authors focus on the EC of business students because of their future responsibility for business operations regarding the exploitation of natural resources. The aim of the study is to examine the predictors of business students’ environmental concern. Design/methodology/approach Based on the Norm Activation Model as the theoretical framework, this study hypothesizes the model of EC with two main predictors: ascription of responsibility for the environment (AOR), driven by locus of control and self-efficacy (LC/SE), and awareness of positive consequences of consumption reduction on the environment (AOC), driven by perceived environmental knowledge. Structural equation modelling was applied to confirm the conceptual model based on the responses of business students from six countries (Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Spain) collected through an online survey. Findings The environmental concern of business students is predicted both by the ascription of responsibility and by awareness of consequences; however, the ascription of responsibility is a stronger predictor of EC. A strong impact was found for internal locus of control and self-efficacy on AOR, as well as a weaker influence of perceived environmental knowledge on AOC. Originality/value Sustainability education dedicated to business students should provide environmental knowledge and strengthen their internal locus of control and self-efficacy in an environmental context.

Combining machine translation and automated scoring in international large-scale assessments

BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing communication and technology-driven content creation and is also being used more frequently in education. Despite these advancements, AI-powered automated scoring in international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) remains largely unexplored due to the scoring challenges associated with processing large amounts of multilingual responses. However, due to their low-stakes nature, ILSAs are an ideal ground for innovations and exploring new methodologies.MethodsThis study proposes combining state-of-the-art machine translations (i.e., Google Translate & ChatGPT) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) to mitigate two key concerns of human scoring: inconsistency and high expense. We applied AI-based automated scoring to multilingual student responses from eight countries and six different languages, using six constructed response items from TIMSS 2019.ResultsAutomated scoring displayed comparable performance to human scoring, especially when the ANNs were trained and tested on ChatGPT-translated responses. Furthermore, psychometric characteristics derived from machine scores generally exhibited similarity to those obtained from human scores. These results can be considered as supportive evidence for the validity of automated scoring for survey assessments.ConclusionsThis study highlights that automated scoring integrated with the recent machine translation holds great promise for consistent and resource-efficient scoring in ILSAs.

Examining the Science Design Skills Competency among Science Preservice Teachers in the Post-COVID-19 Pandemic Period

The study aimed to investigate the competencies of 42 preservice science teachers from a rural university in crafting scientific investigations while utilising the constructivist learning theory as its theoretical foundation. Employing an explanatory sequential design, the research initially collected quantitative data through a pre-test, followed by an intervention in the experimental group, succeeded by a post-test phase. In order to enrich the quantitative findings, qualitative data in the form of student responses were analysed, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the preservice teachers’ proficiency in experimental design. Within the control group, no statistically significant variance emerged between the pre-test and post-test rankings, Z = −1.3, p = 0.190. In contrast, the experimental group exhibited noteworthy divergence. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test unveiled a substantial upsurge in post-test rankings when juxtaposed with the pre-test standings, Z = −4, p &lt; 0.001. The qualitative data revealed that preservice teachers manifested a lack of familiarity with comprehension of the variables, strategies for ensuring investigation validity and reliability, and a coherent approach to gauging intervention impact. Emphasising the significance of these revelations, the study suggests plausible pathways for addressing these knowledge gaps via collaborative interventions, thus striving to effectively bridge the identified disparities.
