현상학적 방법을 활용한 사회과 예비교사의 교육실습 경험 연구

This study is done to find out what kind of experiences current teaching practice actually provides for Social Studies student-teachers and what specific roles teaching practice plays by using phenomenological description analysis. To focus on individual experience of each participant, this study analyzed experiences of seven student-teachers who completed their teaching practice by using Giorgi description analysis. The main results of this study are as follows. Firstly, student-teachers evaluated teaching practice was necessary and useful experience while they evaluated teaching practice wasn’t effective enough for them to enhance their teaching professionalism. In particular, student-teachers evaluated they lacked in experiences with self-leadership in designing the lesson and practicing teaching and communicating with students. Secondly, student-teachers evaluated that a mentor teacher’s feedback was not enough both in quality and quantity, that reflection on teaching with fellow student-teachers was meaningful experience but not high quality. Also, a problem was found that the ability which improved through teaching practice was limited to the aspects of simple teaching skills. Thirdly, it seemed that student-teachers’ checking their views on teaching profession was done only superficially. They hardly experienced checking and improving their teaching philosophy, views on teachers, views on learners and views on subjects. They just stayed on the process of checking whether they really wanted to be a teacher or not. To make teaching practice more professional and pedagogically meaningful teacher training course, opportunities to play diverse roles independently should be provided for studentteachers and more specialized mentor system should be built.

Examining Relationships Between Sub-Components of Reading in Xitsonga

Reading is developed over time and involves the interaction of both simple and complex skills characterised by a hierarchical sequence of foundational reading skills. However, research has shown that children who do not acquire mastery of foundational reading skills have limited chances of acquiring reading success. This study examines the relations between sub-components of reading in Xitsonga and their impact on Grade 1 learners’ reading ability. It also aims to identify which early reading skills predict later reading accomplishment. Data in this study was obtained from 75 Grade 1 learners in the Limpopo Province. The early-grade reading assessment tool adapted to Xitsonga was used to test the learners’ foundational reading skills: phonological and phonemic awareness, letter-sound knowledge, word reading, oral reading fluency and reading comprehension skills. The results present a compelling relationship between the subcomponents of reading and show that deficits in the development of foundational reading skills negatively impact learners’ ability to read. Regression analysis showed that oral reading fluency was the only significant predictor of reading comprehension. Hence, there is a need for reading to be taught and learned consciously in alphabetic languages to help learners develop their early reading skills, which play important roles in the acquisition of reading.

Objective Comparison of the First-Person-View Live Streaming Method Versus Face-to-Face Teaching Method in Improving Wound Suturing Skills for Skin Closure in Surgical Clerkship Students: Randomized Controlled Trial.

The use of digital online teaching media in improving the surgical skills of medical students is indispensable, yet it is still not widely explored objectively. The first-person-view online teaching method may be more effective as it provides more realism to surgical clerkship students in achieving basic surgical skills. This study aims to objectively assess the effectiveness of the first-person-view live streaming (LS) method using a GoPro camera compared to the standard face-to-face (FTF) teaching method in improving simple wound suturing skills in surgical clerkship students. A prospective, parallel, nonblinded, single-center, randomized controlled trial was performed. Between January and April 2023, clerkship students of the Department of Surgery, Pelita Harapan University, were randomly selected and recruited into either the LS or FTF teaching method for simple interrupted suturing skills. All the participants were assessed objectively before and 1 week after training, using the direct observational procedural skills (DOPS) method. DOPS results and poststudy questionnaires were analyzed. A total of 74 students were included in this study, with 37 (50%) participants in each group. Paired analysis of each participant's pre-experiment and postexperiment DOPS scores revealed that the LS method's outcome is comparable to the FTF method's outcome (LS: mean 27.5, SD 20.6 vs FTF: mean 24.4, SD 16.7; P=.48) in improving the students' surgical skills. First-person-view LS training sessions could enhance students' ability to master simple procedural skills such as simple wound suturing and has comparable results to the current FTF teaching method. Teaching a practical skill using the LS method also gives more confidence for the participants to perform the procedure independently. Other advantages of the LS method, such as the ability to study from outside the sterile environment, are also promising. We recommend improvements in the audiovisual quality of the camera and a stable internet connection before performing the LS teaching method.

The Application of Contemporary Methods According to the Curriculum for the Course of the Albanian Language in Primary Education

The curriculum field "Languages and communication" for primary education enables students to develop simple skills, such as: the difference between literary and non-literary texts, the recognition of the basic language system forms (phonetics, morphology, syntax), the development of expression skills through different linguistic means.This curricular area in primary education, based on the Curricular Framework, contains the following courses: mother tongue, first foreign language (English language, German language). This field also prepares students for functional, clear and substantive communication. Given the importance of using modern teaching methods, we intend to treat this research paper from the point of view of the application of contemporary methods in the Albanian language course, which we consider necessary for the identification of activities that influence the implementation of the curriculum in the course of the Albanian language. In order to carry out the research, we use the qualitative and quantitative method, preparing a questionnaire for the teachers of the Albanian language at the level of primary and lower secondary education, more precisely of grades VI-IX, in the Municipality of Gjilan, Vitia, Kamenica and Ferizaj. We also do a partial observation during the lessons wiin the Albanian Language course. From the findings of the research, we consider that contemporary methods are applied in the teaching of the Albanian language subject in primary education.

Роль правового регулювання інформаційної безпеки неповнолітніх у мережі Інтернет

Legal regulation is an effective, normative and organizational impact on public relations through a system of legal acts (legal norms, legal relations, individual prescriptions, etc.) with the aim of their ordering, protection, and development in accordance with the relevant social needs. Attempts to regulate the information security of minors on the Internet in recent years have not received comprehensive legal regulation. Despite the fact that these norms should be a dialectical unity, at present they are only a mechanical set, a mediation of heterogeneous social relations. A large amount of unsystematic legal material gives rise to contradictions and gaps in the normative regulation of crime prevention and entails certain difficulties in the use of normative acts in practice. In Ukraine, primary general education is aimed at forming a personality and developing individual abilities of students, positive motivation and skills in learning activities (mastering reading, writing, arithmetic, basic skills of learning activities, elements of theoretical thinking, simple skills of self-control, culture of behavior and speech, basics of personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle). Basic general education is aimed at forming moral convictions, aesthetic taste and healthy lifestyle, high culture of interpersonal and interethnic communication, mastering the basics of science, the state language, skills of mental and physical labor, development of inclinations, interests, and the ability to social self-determination. The analysis of the content of joint education indicates the need for additional legal regulation of the special competence of educational organizations aimed at forming media literacy in students in order to ensure the unity of ethical, civil and patriotic, cultural and aesthetic development of minors and the child's safety in the information environment.

Analysis of factors influencing the acquisition of basic life support knowledge among standardized training trainees

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) significantly impacts the treatment success of cardiac arrest patients and serves as a simple and practical basic life support (BLS) skill. However, there is a lack of analysis regarding factors influencing BLS knowledge acquisition by trainees after training. In this study, we analyzed and explored this issue based on assessments of 385 trainees newly enrolled in standardized residency training at West China Hospital, Sichuan University in 2022. They came from various medical institutions and underwent a 3-day systematic training in basic life support skills. At the end of the training, their knowledge acquisition was analyzed through an examination. The results indicated that BLS knowledge acquisition scores among these 385 resident trainees were not significantly different in age, gender, education, length of service, professional title, or teaching style preference. However, two factors demonstrated significant influence: the trainees’ profession type (F = 39.45, p < 0.001) and previous BLS training (t = −4.42, p < 0.001). Linear regression analysis indicated that technicians had a 12% lower BLS accuracy compared to doctors (β = −0.12, p < 0.001), while those who had received prior BLS training exhibited an 8% higher accuracy compared to those who had not (β = 0.08, p < 0.001). Thus, it is important to focus on enhancing BLS knowledge and skills among technician trainees in residency training. Additionally, increased standardization in BLS training can prove beneficial in improving trainees’ comprehension and mastery of BLS knowledge.

P141: BRIGHT (Building Resilience in Geriatric Health Today)

Aims:Geriatric depression and anxiety are increasingly relevant conditions in the ageing population of Singapore. Subsyndromal depression and anxiety in older adults is estimated at 20-50% of the population and often go undetected despite adverse effects on quality of life (Preisig et al., 2001), suicidality (Sadek and Bona, 2000), disability and inappropriate usage of medical services (de Beurs et al., 1999; Wagner et al., 2000), and cognition (Yoachim et al., 2013). BRIGHT is an early intervention group coaching programme to empower older adults to self-manage physical and mental health ailments so as to decrease healthcare utilization and expenditure. This paper aims to present the findings from three pilot runs of BRIGHT with older adults in the community setting.Methodology:BRIGHT consists of 4 half-day workshops with both didactic and interactive components that leverage on the group-based therapy setting to promote psychoeducation, self-reflection, and reminiscence. This was delivered by a multidisciplinary team comprising psychiatrists, psychologists, and medical social workers. Simple digital literacy skills were taught and a mobile application to promote active lifestyles was utilized.Groups are kept small at less than 15 participants each who were referred from community partners. They have been screened for subclinical depression and anxiety using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), 12-item Short Form Survey (SF-12), and Health Confidence Score (HCS). The same scales were administered again immediately upon completion of the programme to capture (1) reduction in depressive and anxiety symptoms, (2) quality of life, (3) improvement in health confidence, and (4) participant satisfaction.Result:Average participant satisfaction was 82.2% - most qualitative feedback was positive but one group preferred the sessions to be conducted in Mandarin instead of English. GDS, GAI, HCS, and SF12 PCS scores improved by an average of 2.285, 0.969, 0.685, and 1.733 respectively. However, SF12 MCS scores decreased by an average of 1.795.Conclusion:Preliminary quantitative data shows that BRIGHT appears to be an effective early intervention modality for older adults with subclinical depressive and anxiety symptoms. After an iterative process of refining the programme content, plans are underway to “train the trainers” so as to increase scale and sustainability.

Exploring factors affecting Chinese adolescents' perceived usefulness and engagement with a stress management app: a qualitative study.

Providing adolescents with stress management interventions via mobile apps has potential for overcoming barriers to traditional in-person services, such as stigma, cost and travel. However, the effectiveness remains uncertain and engagement level remains low. Therefore, it is essential to understand adolescents' user experience of such apps, however, such research is scarce. This study aimed to address this research gap by exploring factors affecting Chinese adolescents' perceived usefulness and engagement of a stress management app, which was developed for them. A qualitative study design involving focus group interviews and inductive thematic analysis was adopted. A purposive sampling method was employed, resulting in five focus groups (n = 39 adolescents). Two themes emerged: (1) mechanism and determinants of usefulness and (2) facilitators and barriers to engagement. The app was found to be helpful in managing chronic and simple stressors by promoting positive behavior, cognition, and physical changes. Relevance to real-life situations, peer support, and planning and monitoring features were found to increase usefulness. Participants suggested adding one-on-one chat support for managing acute stressors. Multimedia, logical content arrangement, combining psychoeducation and skills training, gamification, customization, and an appealing user interface were engaging factors for adolescents, whilst text-heavy content, pedagogical and monotonous tones, technical issues were found to disengage adolescents. Stress management apps should involve simple and evidence-based coping skills training, target adolescents' real-life problems, promote positive peer influence, address both chronic and acute stressors. Additionally, such apps should have logical arrangement of content, be interactive and customizable, and involve multimedia and gamification features to engage adolescents.

The Effects of Practice Schedules on the Acquisition and Retention of a Grapho-Motor Skill in Young-Adults

Studies suggest that the amount of practice and practice protocols can affect the long-term retention of motor skills. We tested how a practice schedule affects young adults’ learning and retention of a simple graphomotor skill. Young adults trained on the construction of a letter-form by connecting dots (Invented Letter Task, ILT) in a single-session 24-blocks practice were compared to a distributed practice group afforded 6-blocks ILT practice on four consecutive days. The single-session practice outperformed the distributed practice group in the speed performance at the end of training but also 24-h post-training. However, the distributed practice group was comparable to the single-session group in terms of speed by 4–5 wk post-training and showed significant gains between 24-h and 4–5 wk post-training while the massed practice showed significant deterioration. Both groups were comparable in terms of accuracy at the three assessment time points. The results suggest that, even in a simple motor task, comparing single sessions to multi-session (distributed) practice could be a straightforward method for determining the efficiency of a practice schedule in young adults.

Fishermen are groups of individuals who carry out fishing and other aquatic biota in various types of waters, including fresh, brackish, and marine waters. Fishermen are communities that live on the coast and rely on marine catches for their livelihood. Although fraught with risks, the fishing profession is often passed down from generation to generation in Indonesia. However, their economic conditions are often affected by various factors, including climate problems such as famine seasons that occur every year. BPS 2013 data shows that fishermen and fishing communities play a large role in Indonesia's poverty rate. This study adopts a qualitative approach, by applying direct interviews with fishermen and document collection as data collection methods. Research findings show that fishermen face challenges in fishing, especially during high sea waves and lean seasons. In West Overtime Village, North Central Alor District, fishermen have difficulty finding fish because of the large rompong that affects the movement of fish in these waters. This condition encourages most fishermen to switch professions to become farmers to meet their daily needs. In small fishing communities, visible traits include the use of small-scale fishing gear, uncertain income, independent operations, and simple skills. Social and geographical isolation are also influencing factors, along with low levels of well-being. This research provides an in-depth understanding of the conditions and challenges faced by fishing communities and their impact on their welfare. Therefore, this research makes a valuable contribution in understanding the lives of fishermen in coastal Indonesia.

Application of mobile-based web app to enhance simple suturing skills of nurse practitioners

BackgroundSuturing is a crucial clinical skill for nurse practitioners (NPs), but the effectiveness of traditional training methods (e.g., physical suture kits combined with video content) is low. ObjectiveThis study compared the effectiveness and usability of a mobile-based web app (MoWa) developed for NPs to learn simple suturing skills with those of traditional instructional video–based training. MethodsThe MoWa system utilizes mobile devices to simulate hands-on suturing and provides learning guidance and feedback to support self-learning with a physical suturing kit. Fifty-four suturing novices (NPs) were recruited as participants, divided into an experimental group (EG: 28 participants) and a control group (CG: 26 participants), and instructed to self-learn for 3 weeks. Learning effectiveness and system usability were evaluated through a pretest and posttest. ResultsThe EG exhibited significant improvements in learning outcomes, self-confidence, self-efficacy, and learning anxiety and expressed satisfaction with the MoWa system. Furthermore, the EG also considerably enhanced learning outcomes, self-efficacy, and learning anxiety compared to the CG, with no significant difference in self-confidence. ConclusionThe MoWa system combined with deliberate practice is an effective strategy for supporting suturing skills training.

Exploiting organizations' innovation performance via big data analytics: an absorptive knowledge perspective

PurposeThe advantages of applying big data analytics for organizations to boost innovation performance are enormous. By collecting and analysing substantial amounts of data, firms can discern what works for their customer needs and update existing products while innovating new ones. Notwithstanding the evidence about the effects of big data analytics, the link between big data analytics and innovation performance is still underestimated. Especially in today's fast-changing and complicated environments, companies cannot simply take big data analytics as one innovative technical tool without fully understanding how to deploy it effectively.Design/methodology/approachThis study tries to investigate this relationship by building on the knowledge absorptive capacity perspective. The authors conceptualized effective use of big data analytics tools as one general absorptive capacity rather than a simple technical element or skill. Specifically, effectively utilize big data analytics tools can provide values and insights for new product innovation performance in a turbulent environment. Using online survey data from 108 managers, the authors assessed their hypotheses by applying the structural equation modelling method.FindingsThe authors found that big data analytics capacity, which can be conceptualized as one absorptive capacity, can positively influence product innovation performance. The authors also found that environmental turbulence has strong moderation effects on these two main relationships.Originality/valueThese results establish big data analytics can be regarded as one absorptive capacity, which can positively boost an organization's innovation performance.

Matching intraoperative teaching and learning for medical undergraduates via modified briefing-intraoperative teaching-debriefing (BID) model

Intraoperative teaching is a challenging task. The briefing–intraoperative teaching–debriefing (BID) model, which is based on guided discovery learning at limited time intervals, has rarely been investigated. This study validated the benefits of the modified BID model on medical clerks. This study involved 37 first-year medical clerks enrolled from September 2019 to May 2020. Every learner scrubbed in one the totally implantable venous access device placement surgery and completed a pre-/posttest survey on surgical procedures and associated anatomy conducted through an intraoperative teaching questionnaire. Of these participants, 15 merely observed throughout the entire procedure (observation group), whereas the remaining 22 performed simple suturing under supervision (suturing group). All participants underwent an objective structured assessment of simple interrupted suturing skills at the end of the observership. Correlations were tested using a two‐tailed paired t-test, with a p-value < 0.05 indicating statistical significance. The response rate was 100% and participants could reconfirm the precise venous access, catheter tip location, and suture materials for portal fixation after totally implantable venous access device placement (p < 0.05). Although a relatively higher satisfaction of the intraoperative teaching environment and educator attitude was reported in the suturing group than in the observation group, the difference in scores on the objective structured assessment was not statistically significant (8.7 ± 1.8 vs. 7.2 ± 3.7; p = 0.104). Our findings indicate that the modified BID model with hands-on experience is a practicable module for matching intraoperative teaching and learning via learning perception enhancement for medical undergraduates during totally implantable venous access device placement.

What Bedside Skills Could the Modern Rheumatologist Possess? Part I. The Basics.

The hands-on aspect of rheumatologic practice serves to balance its more cerebral features with the everyday necessity to touch patients to assess their condition, obtain samples for diagnosis, and deliver therapy, all cementing the important bond between patient and physician. Factors over recent years, ranging from the intercession of the electronic medical record to COVID, have weakened this bond, which we must restore if the practice of rheumatology is to return to previous levels of satisfaction. We review herein, in 2 parts, the many ways rheumatologists may interact physically with patients, with hope that pursuit of these measures can enhance satisfaction of physician and patient alike. This first installment reviews those simple skills in place before more involved technical bedside skill began to evolve over the last half century.

Learning to Make Hydroponic-Based Animal Feed

Mild intellectually disabled is an individual who has intelligence far below the average individual in general. Although the intellectually disabled have intelligence that is far below the average, their abilities can be optimized and empowered through learning simple skills that do not require complex thinking or semi-skills. Hydroponic-based animal feed production is an activity in the semi-skills category that has the potential to be used as a medium for learning and empowering the intellectually disabled. This study aims to evaluate the potential of hydroponic-based animal feed production activities as a medium of learning and empowerment to improve the ability and physical suitability of the intellectually disabled. The research method used is field testing and Research and Development (R&amp;D), and data is obtained through observation, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). We found that the intellectually disabled can perform stages of work in the manufacture of hydroponic-based animal feed, the introduction of tools and materials, the manufacture of animal feed, the maintenance of tools and materials, and the maintenance of results. The results showed that every step in hydroponic-based animal feed production activities had been implemented and could be used as a medium of learning and empowerment to optimize and empower the intellectually disabled.
