The Impact of Lockdown in Cyberbullying in Primary Education: Transitions of Cyberbullying and Bullying.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a worldwide socio-sanitary crisis, continuing to impact societies worldwide. With many school systems shifted to online education, the current study presents a unique opportunity to investigate relevant phenomena related to serious health issues during the schooling and later in life, cyberbullying and bullying. This study began just before the COVID-19 lockdown was declared and resumed 5 months later allowing to explore 2 main objectives: first, to explore whether cyberbullying increased during the lockdown, and second, to analyze transitions from to time of bullying and cyberbullying. The participants included 792 students from sixth and seventh years of Primary Education (Meanage = 10.81, SD = 0.85) in Ecuador. This is a quantitative longitudinal study. Cyberbullying and bullying scales were used for data collection before the lockdown in January and February 2020 (T1), and after 5 months of lockdown, at the end of the same academic year in July 2020 (T2). Descriptive, comparative and predictive analyses, a latent transition analysis was used to identify latent status of cyberbullying and bullying behavior at T1 and T2. The results revealed a significant increase of cyberbullying after 5 months of the lockdown. Interestingly, only a small percentage of students who were uninvolved in cyberbullying and bullying in T1 remained uninvolved in T2. The discussion explores the dynamics of cyberbullying involvement and examines changes in the roles and groups of bullying and cyberbullying after 5 months of lockdown. The political- and school-related implications of these findings are thoroughly discussed.

Social Media Usage for Medical Education and Smartphone Addiction Among Medical Students: National Web-Based Survey.

Social media (SoMe) have taken a major place in the medical field, and younger generations are increasingly using them as their primary source to find information. This study aimed to describe the use of SoMe for medical education among French medical students and assess the prevalence of smartphone addiction in this population. A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted among French medical students (second to sixth year of study). The questionnaire collected information on SoMe use for medical education and professional behavior. Smartphone addiction was assessed using the Smartphone Addiction Scale Short-Version (SAS-SV) score. A total of 762 medical students responded to the survey. Of these, 762 (100%) were SoMe users, spending a median of 120 (IQR 60-150) minutes per day on SoMe; 656 (86.1%) used SoMe for medical education, with YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook being the most popular platforms. The misuse of SoMe in a professional context was also identified; 27.2% (207/762) of students posted hospital internship content, and 10.8% (82/762) searched for a patient's name on SoMe. Smartphone addiction was prevalent among 29.1% (222/762) of respondents, with a significant correlation between increased SoMe use and SAS-SV score (r=0.39, 95% CI 0.33-0.45; P<.001). Smartphone-addicted students reported a higher impact on study time (211/222, 95% vs 344/540, 63.6%; P<.001) and a greater tendency to share hospital internship content on social networks (78/222, 35.1% vs 129/540, 23.8%; P=.002). Our findings reveal the extensive use of SoMe for medical education among French medical students, alongside a notable prevalence of smartphone addiction. These results highlight the need for medical schools and educators to address the responsible use of SoMe and develop strategies to mitigate the risks associated with excessive use and addiction.

Analysis of Tactical Knowledge for Learning an Alternative Invasion Sport

The study of declarative and procedural knowledge in sport allows us to assess students’ tactical learning processes. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the level of declarative and procedural knowledge acquired by students according to the pedagogical model and gender, after the application of two intervention programs for an alternative invasion sport, “Rosquilla”. This study involved 136 students distributed into six groups of Primary Education (fifth and sixth year) and Secondary Education (first year). Each group in the same year participated in a different intervention program, one based on the Game-Centered Model and the other on a hybrid model of the Game-Centered Model and the Sports Education Model. A descriptive analysis was carried out to determine the characteristics of the participants. Subsequently, an independent samples Mann–Whitney U-test was applied to compare the level of knowledge between the models and genders in the pre- and post-test periods. A Linear Mixed Model was used to analyze the level of knowledge of students within each group and compare them according to methodology and gender. The results indicate that both programs generated improvements in declarative and procedural knowledge. Therefore, students learn equally regardless of the methodological perspective and gender.

Analysis of the impact of pre-professional education on the health of medical students

BACKGROUND: Education in a higher educational institution is critical for students due to the vulnerability of the young body and the exposure of young men and women to the impact of adverse factors that contribute to health disorders. The solution to the problem of the observed deterioration of the health of students of medical higher educational institutions is currently very acute, since this problem is directly related to the health of future health workers and determines the future of the country. AIM: To assess the health status of students of the Institute of Clinical Medicine named after N.V. Sklifosovsky of Sechenov University on the example of graduates of the Resource Center «Medical Sechenov Pre-University» of the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University) in a comparative aspect with graduates of other educational institutions. METHODS: A single-stage selective comparative study of the morbidity rate of students of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Institute of Clinical Medicine of Sechenov University was carried out. The data of the registration form «No 025/у» 1–6-year students for the period from 2018 to 2024 (n=2229, including 414 graduates of the Pre-University) were used. Data analysis was performed using Pearson's χ2 test with Yates correction. The significance level was set as p 0.05. Numerical data are presented with absolute and relative values. RESULTS: It was shown that the number of students assigned to the first and second health groups among Pre-University graduates was higher overall, and the number of those assigned to the third health group was lower compared to their peers who were not Pre-University graduates (p 0.01). An increase in the overall morbidity of students by the sixth year was noted, but to a lesser extent among Pre-University graduates (p 0.001). All students have more frequent eye and apparatus diseases. The second and third places were occupied by diseases of the nervous system and diseases of the respiratory organs. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue were less common. CONCLUSION: The lower morbidity rate among the graduates of the Pre-University is presumably due to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and rejection of harmful habits during the pre-professional education phase. The data obtained show the need to strengthen work on the identification and prevention of factors of educational environment, reducing the effectiveness of medical and educational measures for the formation of health status of students at the stage of pre-specific education.

Factors associated with the perception of university social responsibility among dental students from two universities in the Peruvian capital: a multivariable regression analysis

Students play a key role in university social responsibility (USR), as they are the protagonists of change and the fundamental axis in the teaching-learning process. This study aims to assess the factors associated with the perception of university social responsibility among dental students from two universities in the Peruvian capital. This analytical cross-sectional study assessed 754 students from two Peruvian universities between May and July 2023. The study utilized a validated 51-item questionnaire to assess sociodemographic factors and dental students’ perception of USR. A Poisson regression model with robust variance and prevalence ratio (PR) was used to assess the influence of variables such as age, sex, marital status, type of university, academic year, and awareness of taking subjects related to USR. The significance was set at p < 0.05. The perception of USR was rated as poor, fair, and good by 16%, 67%, and 17% of the participants, respectively. According to the study, dental students from public universities were 68% more likely to perceive their USR education as poor than those from private universities (APR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.06–2.66), and those who were aware of taking MSR-related courses were 37% less likely to perceive their USR education as poor (APR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.40–0.98). Similarly, dental students attending public universities were 2.28 times more likely to perceive poor organizational management in USR compared to their counterparts at private universities (APR = 2.28, 95% CI: 1.51–3.44). Additionally, students in their first and second academic years were 62% and 57% less likely to perceive poor organizational management in USR compared to those in their sixth year (APR = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.19–0.79 and APR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.20–0.95; respectively). Furthermore, students from public universities were 2.31 times more likely to perceive social participation in USR poorly compared to their counterparts from private universities (APR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.63–3.26). Lastly, it was observed that students from public universities were 2.51 times more likely to have a poor overall perception of USR compared to students from private universities (APR = 2.51, 95% CI: 1.67–3.78). Acknowledging the diverse contexts and challenges inherent in public and private institutions, it can be concluded that more than half of the dental students had a fair perception of USR. Additionally, attending a public university was found to be a risk factor for having a poor perception of USR. However, taking a course related to USR and being in the early years of the program were identified as protective factors against a poor perception of organizational training and management in USR. It is recommended that students be involved in USR activities, including the Sustainable Development Goals, from the first years of their university education, especially in public universities.

Методика «Эталоны» для оценки развития восприятия современных старших дошкольников (действие отнесения к эталону)

&lt;p&gt;Adaptation and standardization of the &amp;ldquo;Standards&amp;rdquo; test from a set of mental development diagnostic methods for preschool children (L.A. Venger and co-workers) were carried out, aimed at assessing the level of development of the action of comparison with the standard for older preschoolers. Two groups of children took part in the study: 1062 children aged 5-6 years (average age 66&amp;plusmn;3 months) and 1574 children aged 6-7 years (average age 77&amp;plusmn;3 months). Both versions of &amp;ldquo;Standards&amp;rdquo; test (for six- and seven-year-old children) showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0,80-0,88; SRMR=0,02; CFI=0,99 for both samples). External validity is confirmed by correlations with intellectual development level, measured by Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices test (r=0,51 for children of the sixth year of life and r=0,39 for children of the seventh year of life). No differences were found by gender or the presence of disabilities. Age norms for modern children for the action of comparison with the standard have been determined. An adapted version of the test can be used by psychologists for scientific and practical purposes, to accompany the educational process that promotes the development of perception in children of senior preschool age.&lt;/p&gt;

Стандартизация методики «Перцептивное моделирование» для детей 5-6 и 6-7 лет

&lt;p&gt;In modern sociocultural conditions, reliable diagnostic tools are needed to assess the mental development of a child, which would at the same time make it possible to adjust the objectives of educational work. The article reflects the results of adaptation and standardization of the "Perceptual modeling" test included in the diagnostic set for assessing the mental development of preschoolers (L.A. Wenger and colleagues). The study sample consisted of two groups: children 5-6 (N=1003) and children 6-7 (N=1516) years old. In these groups, children were offered various test options based on their age-related perceptual modeling capabilities. The adaptation of the "Perceptual modeling" test involved converting it into electronic form, changing the system for evaluating the results obtained and statistically verifying the possibility of using it in this form to solve diagnostic problems. The test standardization procedure has shown good external and internal validity, and its diagnostic reliability. Statistical analysis revealed the absence of significant gender differences in the performance of the test and the presence of significant differences between children with normal development and children with disabilities (speech, hearing impairment and mental retardation). As a result of standardization, age norms for mastering perceptual modeling actions for children with normal development and children with disabilities were determined by children of the sixth and seventh years of life.&lt;/p&gt;

Representation in Brazilian classrooms: racial matching between students and teachers and school performance

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the impact of racial matching between teacher and student on the academic performance of middle school students in Brazil. The data comes from an educational evaluation survey carried out by the Joaquim Nabuco Foundation – Ministry of Education of Brazil (FUNDAJ 2020), which followed the same cohort of students in the sixth and seventh years of public middle schools, between the years of 2017 and 2018. To address to the potential source of endogeneity, we use FUNDAJ panel data to estimate student fixed effects models, which makes it possible to compare students who have one race-matched and one non-race-matched teacher within the same subject in the two years of data. The results show that, when placed in a situation of racial equality with their Portuguese and Mathematics teachers, Black students will present better grades in both subjects, by about 30% of their average grade. The results also show evidence of heterogeneity, with stronger effects in female students.

Exploring Academic Identity, Degree Commitment, and Life Purpose in First-Time Full-Time College Students: A Six-Year Degree Attainment Study (2017–2023)

This study examined the role of academic identity, degree commitment, and sense of purpose, self-reported at the start of university, in students’ progress toward obtaining a degree over 6 years. First-time, full-time freshman students ( N = 421, response rate of 21.1%) at a public university in the southwestern United States, designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution and an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution, completed self-reported measures in Fall 2017. Their degree attainment, retention, and grade point average (GPA) were tracked until Spring 2023. Findings showed that academic identity significantly predicted 4-year degree attainment and cumulative GPA in the first 3 years. Degree commitment significantly predicted degree attainment within 4 and 5 years, retention into the third through sixth years, and cumulative GPA in the first 3 years. Altruistic purpose significantly predicted second-year retention and cumulative GPA at the end of the first year. These findings highlight the need for programs that support college student retention and success by strengthening their academic identity, degree commitment, and sense of purpose, especially altruistic purpose.

Effectiveness of a minecraft education intervention for improving spatial thinking in primary school children: A mixed methods two-level cluster randomised trial

BackgroundSpatial thinking plays a crucial role in STEM success. Minecraft Education, a digital game-based learning platform, provides opportunities for developing students’ spatial thinking while supporting curricular content. AimThis study evaluated the effectiveness of a Minecraft Education intervention, integrated into the curriculum, in improving spatial thinking and creativity. SampleFifth and sixth year primary school students (Mage = 11.53, SDage = 0.58) and their teachers. MethodsThe study used a mixed-methods, two-level cluster randomised-controlled trial design. Thirty-two classes (N = 885 students) were randomly assigned to the intervention or education-as-usual control group. Assessments of spatial thinking and creativity were completed at pre-test, post-test and 6-week follow up. Teacher interviews were conducted to understand their experiences of the intervention. ResultsWhile no overall intervention-related improvements in spatial thinking were found, subgroup analyses revealed that 5th year demonstrated improved spatial thinking compared to 6th year at post-test. This may be attributable to 5th year students’ higher levels of engagement in the intervention. Unexpectedly, creativity scores were higher in the control group at post-test. Qualitative interviews identified four themes: 1) Improving spatial thinking, 2) Improving creativity, 3) Engagement, and 4) Difficulties implementing the programme. ConclusionThis study highlights the importance of increasing student engagement in spatial interventions to improve their spatial skills. Finally, the study suggests that sustained practice is required to maintain the benefits of spatial instruction/training.

Factors Influencing Medical Students' Choice of Anesthesiology as a Future Specialty in Saudi Arabia.

Background According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), anesthesiologists are experts in administering anesthesia, pain management, and critical care medicine. In addition, they provide general perioperative care. Personal interests, career stability, reputation, income, and clinical rotation experience influence medical students' career choices. Studies show that anesthesiology remains one of the least popular specialties among Saudi medical students. Our study aims to determine the preference for anesthesiology among Saudi medical students and the factors influencing their career choice options. Methodology This cross-sectional study was implemented by distributing a self-administered verified survey. Results Our study included 532 medical students, predominantly female (n=344, 64.7%), aged 18-24 years (n=424, 79.7%), and Saudi nationals (n=508, 95.5%). Most were single (n=500, 94%) without children (n=522, 98.1%). A majority were not interested in anesthesiology as a future specialty (n=297, 55.8%), with some uncertainty (n=148, 27.8%) and a smaller interested group (n=87, 16.4%). Controllable lifestyle (n=294, 55.3%) and financial income (n=213, 40%) were critical factors for choosing anesthesiology as a specialty. Interest in another specialty (n=342, 64.3%) and stress (n=286, 53.8%) were significant opposing factors. Academic year significantly affected consideration (p<0.001), with second-year students showing the highest interest (61.8%) and sixth-year the lowest (24.8%). Other factors showed no significant association. Conclusion Our study reveals low interest in anesthesiology among Saudi medical students. A controllable lifestyle and financial income are key attractions. Interest declines significantly by the sixth year due to their interest in other specialties, lifestyle concerns, and stress.

Методика «Систематизация» в цифровом формате для оценки уровня развития логического мышления старших дошкольников

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The level of development of a child&amp;rsquo;s logical thinking in the older preschool age allows us to talk about the effectiveness of the educational work carried out and predict the success of further education at school. The article presents the results of the application modification of the &amp;ldquo;Systematization&amp;rdquo; test (authors N.B. Wenger, A.I. Bulycheva) for children of the sixth and seventh years of life from a set of diagnostic methods of mental development of preschoolers (L.A. Wenger) to evaluate logical thinking. The tasks of the test were transferred to a digital format, which simplifies its use. In this format, the &amp;ldquo;Systematization&amp;rdquo; test underwent a standardization procedure, as a result of which good external and differential validity was determined, the structure and reliability of the test were proved, age norms for mastering the actions of logical thinking of animation by modern older preschoolers were determined. The results of the study suggest that an adapted version of the test can be used by psychologists for scientific and practical purposes, to accompany the educational process that promotes the development of thinking in older preschool children.&lt;/p&gt;

Blockchain, Holochain, and OtherDistributed Ledger Technologies:Web3 Awareness, Privacy Concerns,and Cryptocurrency Use AmongStudents in a Medical School

&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Aim:&lt;/b&gt; We aimed to reveal awareness of distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) among clinical year students (fourth, fifth, and sixth years in undergraduate medical training) in a medical school.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Methods:&lt;/b&gt; This was a descriptive study. The participants were clinical year medical students in a medical school. We developed an electronic survey form on blockchain, Holochain, and other DLTs. Self-perceived knowledge levels on DLTs and Web3 were solicited, as well as DLT-based cryptocurrency-related questions to understand their practical involvement. This approach was taken because, while DLTs are used in healthcare and education, their most common application is in cryptocurrencies. We reported descriptive statistics.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; Total number of participants was 546. Of the students, 74.7% have never heard of blockchain, and 86.3% have never heard of Holochain. DLTs such as DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph), Hashgraph, and Tempo have never been heard of by over 90% of the students. 75.3% stated they are worried about the security and privacy of their data on the internet. 20.3% of the students stated that they have purchased a cryptocurrency at least once, 7.9% used a cryptocurrency wallet where they hold its private key, and 6.8% used a decentralized exchange. If there were an elective course on DLTs in the faculty, 54.8% of the students would be willing to take this course.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; DLT and Web3 awareness among medical students is low. However, there is an interest in taking an elective course on these technologies. In order to create awareness, medical schools could leverage this interest to learn more about Web3 solutions.&lt;/br&gt;

The i-view® Video Laryngoscope Compared With the Macintosh Laryngoscope Does Not Enhance the Endotracheal Intubation Skills of Dental Students.

Background A disposable i-view® video laryngoscope (Intersurgical Limited, Berkshire, United Kingdom) is yet to be used to educate medical and dental students, who must learn endotracheal intubation skills. Additionally, the advantage of the i-view® use for the purpose, compared with the Macintosh laryngoscope, is unknown. We aimed to first determine whether the i-view® video laryngoscope enhances endotracheal intubation skills among dental students compared with the Macintosh laryngoscope. Methodology A prospective, observational, simulation study was conducted among 67 dental students in their sixth clinical year of education. Intubation skills were evaluated on a computer-assisted simulator with a standardized manikin. Each student was asked to intubate using the conventional Macintosh laryngoscope and the i-view® video laryngoscope in the trachea of the simulator's manikin. We collected objective data, including the retroflection angle of the manikin, the maxillary incisor contact pressure, time from picking up the laryngoscope to ventilation, intubation success, and intubation delay. Each student was further asked to grade their subjective evaluation concerning the visual field, Cormack and Lehane classification, operability, stability, needed force for intubation, and easiness during intubation. Results Enrolled dental students quoted that the i-view® video laryngoscope demonstrated better visual field, Cormackand Lehane classification, operability, and stability than the Macintosh laryngoscope. However, they felt intubation easiness could have been better using Macintosh than i-view®. Intubation time, failure rate, and delay rate did not differ between the two laryngoscopes. Nevertheless, the maxillary incisor contact pressure (medianinterquartile range (IQR)) during the intubation increased in the i-view® intubation compared with Macintosh (32 (24 to 41) vs. 25 (18 to 35) N, p = 0.010). Conclusions We first demonstrated that the i-view® video laryngoscope compared with the Macintosh laryngoscope does not enhance the endotracheal intubation skills of dental students. However, the possible repeated use as an educational simulator training tool may add some advantages to the experience of video laryngoscope in both medical and dental students.

Sytuacje trudne oraz sposoby radzenia sobie z nimi przez uczniów w szóstym i siódmym roku nauki

The article brings an answer to the question of which situations students perceive as difficult and which coping strategies they rely on. The study, consisting of two surveys, was carried out in the school year 2021/2022 and was conducted in 22 classes in the sixth and seventh years. Teams were drawn from all such classes in state primary schools in one lager city. The questionnaire How Do You Cope by Zygfryd Juczyński and Nina Ogińska-Bulik was used for the diagnosis. Analysis of the results shows that girls and boys differ in their perception of difficult situations. In the girls’ group, both in the first and second survey, problems in relations with peers were indicated most frequently, and those concerning family relations were mentioned somewhat less frequently. Boys, however, most frequently indicated that difficult situations are those that concerned school. The second most frequently mentioned ones were difficulties in relationships with peers. Irrespective of the type of situation indicated by the respondents as difficult, the strategy consisting in seeking support was used least frequently and a focus on emotions was used most frequently.
