In this way, we can continue to improve the quality of history education and prepare students to become citizens who are skilled, critical, and knowledgeable about their history and cultural heritage.

The development of a science, technology and society phenomenon-based learning model for promoting grade 12 students’ problem-solving in geohazard

This research aimed to: a) synthesize the Science, Technology, and Society Phenomenon-based Learning Model (STS-PhBL) for teaching Geoharzard to students; and b) compare students’ problem-solving skills prior to and after the STS-PhBL lessons on the Geoharzard topic. The sample consisted of 39 Grade 12 students enrolled in the first semester of the 2021 academic year at one secondary school in Surin Province, Thailand. The data collection methods included the panel of experts’ evaluation of STS-PhBL lesson plans and the Problem-Solving Skills Test. The Index of Item-Objective-Congruence (IOC) of STS-PhBL lesson plans on Geoharzard was calculated. Also, the students’ problem-solving skills prior to and after the STS-PhBL lessons in the Geoharzard topic were analyzed by using the paired-samples t-test. The researchers synthesized a new STS-PhBL model from the intensive literature review, consisting of seven teaching steps: a) stimulate the phenomenon; b) identify problems in the phenomenon; c) explore the answer to the targeted problem; d) construct new knowledge; e) reflect on learning; f) exchange and share learning; and g) apply knowledge. The STS-PhBL lesson plans on Geoharzard met the IOC requirements. After learning STS-PhBL lessons, the students significantly improved their problem-solving skills at the 0.05 statistically significant level.

The Influence of a Reflective Identity Leadership Intervention on Perceived Identity Leadership, Social Identity, and Psychological Safety in Cricket.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of an identity leadership-framed reflective practice intervention on perceptions of leadership, social identity, and psychological safety in cricket. Building on previous evidence, an eight-week design included three intervention group coaches and their athletes (n = 32) and three control group coaches and their athletes (n = 34). Measurements of perceived coach identity leadership, social identity, and psychological safety were completed by cricket athletes at week 0 and week 8 for both groups. Intervention group coaches completed three identity leadership-framed reflective tasks in weeks one, three, and five, while the control group coaches continued their regular practices. Controlling for baseline scores, our analysis indicated that compared to the control group, the intervention group athletes reported significantly greater coach identity leadership behaviours, social identity, and psychological safety following the intervention. Social validation data highlighted shared identity, relationships, and learning as potential mechanisms for the positive results seen.

Co-Existing Vascular Surgery Integrated Residencies are Associated with Increased General Surgery Resident Proficiency and Autonomy in Vascular Cases

Integrated vascular surgery residency positions have doubled more than the last decade. Studies have investigated the impact of co-existing subspecialty surgical training programs on case volume of general surgery residents (GSRs). However, no studies have explored the impact of subspecialty training on GSR operative competency. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of integrated residencies on operative performance and autonomy of GSR performing vascular procedures. Autonomy and performance ratings of GSR participating in vascular surgery cases were collected from all institutions participating in the Society for Improving Medical Professional Learning application database from 2015 to 2023. Faculty and self-assessments of autonomy and performance on vascular cases performed by GSRs at programs with co-existing vascular integrated residency (VIR), vascular surgery fellowship (VSF), or no subspecialty vascular training (VX) were compared using Fisher's exact tests with Bonferroni corrections across training levels and case complexity. Eleven thousand one hundred seventy five assessments (26% at institutions with VIR, 46% VSF, and 28% VX) were submitted by 920 GSRs and 343 faculty. Senior GSRs at programs with VSF achieved lower autonomy than those with VIR (P=0.049) or VX (P=0.042) based on faculty assessment. GSRs achieved a level of "practice ready" at significantly higher rates when training at programs with VIR, and at the lowest rates with VSF (P<0.001). However, self-perception of autonomy and performance was highest among GSRs at programs with VX compared with VIR and VSF (P<0.001). The presence of VIR was associated with higher achievement of "practice ready" competency and higher levels of operative autonomy among senior GSRs performing vascular procedures. Shared-learning among peers and faculty expertise in teaching resident-level trainees may contribute to this finding.

Utility of instant messaging application, WhatsApp, as a tool to augment post-graduate radiology education

BackgroundSmart phone technology including different instant messaging applications like, WhatsApp, can be used for the development of radiological skills, reporting, and performance. To determine the utility, attitude, and outcome of WhatsApp for augmenting education in FCPS radiology residency program. To assess the opinion of radiology residents regarding WhatsApp as a tool to enhance postgraduate training.MethodologyA mixed method (qualitative and quantitative) was conducted at Dow Institute of Radiology, Karachi, Pakistan. All FCPS Radiology residents were given a radiological case by principal investigator followed by residents’ response in 24 h. Key findings were shared by the mentor. Before and after the intervention of WhatsApp, all residents were evaluated with written and radiological imaging reporting exam. For quantitative analysis, a closed ended questionnaire was used containing information about total number of messages, images, webpage links shared, level of contribution (active/non-active), and utility (contribution in education related topic only). A feedback form with Likert scale was also got filled by all residents. For qualitative research, semi structured interviews (SSIs) were conducted.ResultsMedian number of total images shared were 293 (IQR 1002 images), messages shared 110 (IQR), webpages shared were 54 webpages (61 webpages) and total contents shared by participants was 243 (544 contents). Active contributors showed better performance in utility, competency of contents and attitude towards using social media as a medium for learning. Comparison of written and OSCE results showed better performance after the intervention. Feedback form with Likert scale revealed that students responded positively regarding the shared learning content. Thematic analysis showed 52 codes and 16 themes.ConclusionIn this research we have observed that WhatsApp is highly efficient and productive academic tool which can amplify postgraduate radiology education. Student’s narrative reflects that residents have found the missing link which can take them to radiological professional excellence through targeted high-profile learning outside lecture hall in time and place convenient motivational environment. Once it will be blended with existing teaching strategy, it can prove to be a game changer.

Development and demonstration of a “SWOT in a Box” card game to help socialise Triple Access Planning

In a changing world, not being able to simply carry on doing what we have always done and getting what we have always got gives rise to an appetite for alternative approaches. Yet an alternative approach must contend with established practice and the associated norms and sense of familiarity that surround that. This paper addresses the following question. How can an approach be designed and used to effectively engage people in a critical examination of Triple Access Planning (TAP)? TAP is an alternative approach to established transport planning. The paper sets out the rationale for, development of, and application of, a serious game. Specifically, a serious card game methodology is put forward that draws upon SWOT analysis for its core design. Its intention is to allow teams of players to become more familiar with the alternative approach in question and to critically examine and prioritise its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The SWOT in a Box methodology is applied to TAP. Results are presented from over 40 game runs. Insights from developing and applying the game suggest that the methodology is adaptable and readily transferable to other domains. The paper reveals the SWOT in a Box methodology to be an effective tool for shared learning: (i) players learn from the game; (ii) players learn from each other as they exchange experiences and views; and (iii) the game designers can learn from the players playing the game. It generates insights and empirical evidence. It is fun and it is useful.

Delivering trauma-informed outreach to women involved in street-based prostitution: enablers and barriers

ABSTRACT The social work profession recognises the value of trauma-informed care for women with multiple disadvantage. For women involved in street-based prostitution this is mostly descriptive in nature with limited practice-based investigation. Guided by the principles of qualitative feminist research, this article explores the enablers and barriers in delivering trauma-informed outreach to women involved in street-based prostitution. Semi-structured interviews with six outreach workers and ten women involved in street-based prostitution indicated that a trauma-informed approach to outreach facilitated the building of mutually trusting and effective relationships. This was underpinned by a commitment to working at the women’s own pace and on their terms, which meant the outreach workers, in time, moved beyond addressing immediate needs. Despite the dynamic skillset required, the low status of outreach work presented challenges for securing a consistent and experienced workforce, which affected the sustainable delivery of trauma-informed outreach. This article highlights the complexity that is involved in delivering trauma-informed outreach to women involved in street-based prostitution and contributes to a more generalised conception of trauma-informed outreach work for shared learning and development within social work.

This is evidenced by using an independent sample t-test, which results in less than 0.05, meaning Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. (2) there is effectiveness in improving reading ability in understanding Arabic Reading texts, as evidenced by the N-Gain score of 67.9%, which is categorized as quite effective, so it can be concluded that the cooperative learning model think pair share is effectively used for the Eighth Grade students of MTs Ma'arif Balong Ponorogo.

Coaching During Student Teaching: Using Self-Regulated Learning to Improve Questioning Skills for Preservice Science Teachers

ABSTRACT Although student teaching plays a crucial role in teacher preparation programs, limited research has examined the specific features of this experience that positively impact preservice science teachers’ (PSTs) questioning competency. This multi-case study contributes to the existing body of research by presenting findings from an initiative in a teacher preparation program that integrates self-regulated learning (SRL) into professional learning (PL) and coaching to improve PSTs’ questioning skills. Despite variability in their initial SRL skills, all participating PSTs experiened shared learning opportunities related to asking higher-level cognitive questions. The PL and coaching during student teaching appeared to contribute to PSTs’ improvement in different aspects of asking questions. Coaching, in particular, enhanced PSTs’ application of strategies learned in the PL and facilitated learning from the act of teaching. The findings suggest that to help PSTs develop to ask higher-level cognitive questions, teacher preparation programs need to provide detailed, memorable, and theory-grounded descriptions of questioning techniques. In addition, integrating SRL processes into coursework and coaching can significantly enhance PSTs’ learning from teaching experience.

Results of shared learning of a new radiofrequency identification localization device—a UK iBRA-NET breast cancer localisation study

Localisation methods for surgical excision of impalpable breast lesions have advanced in recent years, with increasing utilization of new wire-free technologies. The Hologic LOCalizer™ radiofrequency identification (RFID) tag is one such device; however, as is the case when new technologies are first introduced, little is known about clinical experiences, potential complications, and learning used to overcome perioperative challenges when changing from guidewires to RFID tags. This study reports shared learning experiences of clinicians using the LOCalizer™ as part of the national iBRA-NET localisation study. This mixed-methods study captured shared-learning themes relating to LOCalizer™ usage as part of a multicentre prospective registry study, which collected data on each LOCalizer™ placement. Prospective, anonymized clinical and demographic data were collected and managed using a Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) database. Shared learning was captured prospectively as part of the registry study between January 2021 and July 2022, combined with a virtual qualitative webinar-style focus group. Learning events were then coded, grouped by theme, and suggestions for practice were produced. Twenty-four UK breast units submitted data on 1188 patient records pertaining to RFID-guided localisation between January 2021 and July 2022, of which 59 (5.0%) included a shared-learning event. The virtual webinar was attended by 108 healthcare professionals, including oncoplastic breast surgeons and breast radiologists. Shared-learning themes were categorized into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative events. By sharing learning outcomes associated with localisation techniques in this paper, the aim is to shorten the learning curve and potential for adverse events for users new to the LOCalizer™ technique.

The results prove that after being given the treatment, namely the think pair share learning model, the average value of the experimental pos-test is greater (85.28) than the average value of the control class pos-test (77.78), through statistica l calculations it is known that the sig. (2-tailed) of the post-test in the experimental class and control class is smaller than 0.05, namely 0.000. The decision made from these results is H0: there is no significant improvement between the think pair share learning model and the qawaid and touch method in nahwu learning. Because, H1 is accepted, so it can be concluded that the think pair share learning model is effective for increasing the value of nahwu lessons for students at Pesantren Darussholah Bangkalan.

A reciprocal – reflective approach to learning: concept and model

Purpose The purpose of this paper aimed primarily at the practitioner is to offer foundational information regarding reciprocal-reflective approach to learning (RRAL). Presentation and explanation include conceptual and theory grounding of the processes to be initiated by a manager for collaboration with an employee. A detailed model reflective of the approach is presented. Conceptual and practice-aimed information may be adapted for training and development. Design/methodology/approach Explanations of employee learning often place the manager in role(s) of teacher, guide, coach and/or expert. Proposed here is an approach in which manager and individual employee, jointly, make use of a learning approach which is representative of an experiential, action or problem-based form of learning from which they both can learn. The manager can initiate the process in which both participants collaborate to identify some specific, shared learning goals aimed at the matters under consideration. Other goals, likely more personal in the case of each participant, may also be identified and efforts made to help one another attain progress regarding such goals. The RRAL process as explained mirrors a bifurcation of instrumental behaviors (focus on learning activities) and emotional behaviors (caring and sharing resulting in a strengthened relationship and trust). Findings Relying on research that clearly identifies various supportive behaviors on the part of the manager, a detailed example of a plan is provided. The plan is driven by shared aims, focus, feedback and adjustment. In addition to individual learning goals, the manager has the opportunity to make her/his own role adjustments that lead to positive, supportive actions stimulating the quality of the relationship with the employee including the building of trust. Practical implications Using the example provided as a guide can be very helpful to a manager with limited experience in instigating employee learning and change. Initial use may be regarded as an experiment subject to much analysis and discussion by both participants as they contemplate how to work together in future reciprocal learning endeavors. Originality/value Currently, there is little research available that expresses how manager and employee can work as partners on some matter (change, problem, improvement) in a collaborative, reciprocal fashion. This paper, as an example, should demonstrate that skills and knowledge of both participants can improve and progress made regarding the issue at hand. The RRAL can be fashioned by the participants to yield progress and a more positive relationship.

Exploring dental and oral hygiene students’ interprofessional readiness: a cross-sectional study in joint paediatric outreach training

BackgroundInterprofessional education is vital in oral healthcare education and should be integrated into both theoretical and work-based education. Little research addresses interprofessional education in dental hands-on training in authentic oral healthcare settings. The aim of the study was to examine the readiness and attitudes of dental and oral hygiene students towards interprofessional education during joint paediatric outreach training.MethodsIn the spring of 2022, a cross-sectional study was done involving dental and oral hygiene students using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) during joint paediatric outreach training. The 19-item tool was answered on a five-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neutral, 4 = agree, and 5 = strongly agree). Means, standard deviations, minimums, maximums, and medians were calculated for each subscale and overall score. Students grouped according to their categorical variables were compared for statistically significant differences. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for groups of two and the Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis for groups of three or more. The internal consistency of the scale was measured with Cronbach’s alpha. Statistical level was set at 0.05.ResultsThe survey included 111 participants, consisting of 51 oral hygiene students and 60 dental students, with a response rate of 93%. The questionnaire yielded a high overall mean score of 4.2. Both oral hygiene (4.3) and dental students (4.2) displayed strong readiness for interprofessional education measured by the RIPLS. The subscale of teamwork and collaboration achieved the highest score of 4.5. Students lacking prior healthcare education or work experience obtained higher RIPLS scores. Oral hygiene students rated overall items (p = 0.019) and the subscales of positive professional identity (p = < 0.001) and roles and responsibilities (p = 0.038) higher than dental students. The Cronbach’s alpha represented high internal consistency for overall RIPLS scores on the scale (0.812).ConclusionsBoth oral hygiene and dental students perceived shared learning as beneficial and showcased high readiness for interprofessional education, as evident in their RIPLS scores. Integrating interprofessional learning into oral hygiene and dental curricula is important. Studying together can form a good basis for future working life collaboration.

A Republic of Learning: Making for Times of Uncertainty

Abstract Republic of Learning (RoL) was an experimental program bringing people together to learn about resilience in times of planetary health crisis, environmental change, and growing uncertainty. Eleven sessions took place between 2019 and 2022, planting seeds for an informal community to emerge with a unique approach to shared learning. RoL combined artistic craft-making with cooperative thinking—slowing down debate to sideline confrontations and argument in favor of more gentle forms of colearning and collaboration. This article explores the methods, outcomes, and opportunities that this process opens up for new forms of action and engagement with issues of climate change, resilience, and reciprocity.
