Measuring an understudied factor in medical education – development and validation of the medical curiosity scale

ABSTRACT Curiosity, which has been called the third pillar of academic achievement and positively predicts academic performance (von Stumm et al., 2011), is widely recognized as an important factor in acquiring knowledge and skills in medical training, and may be critical for students´ sound mental health. Medical educators have advocated that curiosity should play a more significant role in medical training and have criticized didactic barriers impeding student curiosity. However, in medical training, curiosity is understudied partly due to a lack of methods for measuring curiosity. Therefore, this study was designed to develop and validate a scale to measure medical curiosity. After reviewing the literature and interviewing a panel of experts (n = 7), 25 preliminary items assessing medical curiosity were developed and administered to n = 305 medical students (n = 163 female and n = 142 male) at Heidelberg University across all medical school years. Following exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with oblique (promax) rotation, we measured medical curiosity in a medical student sample. We have identified two distinct factors: intellectual medical curiosity (IMC) and social medical curiosity (SMC). IMC describes the desire to acquire medical knowledge for curiosity’s sake, while SMC refers to curiosity about human nature and, in particular, patient health. Both factors showed good psychometric properties, with eigenvalues of 6.7 and 3.5, explaining 26.6% and 14.0% of the variance and internal consistencies of 0.796 and 0.866, respectively, and high convergent and discriminant validity. While first-year students showed significantly higher IMC scores than final-year medical students, SMC scores remained stable and tended to increase throughout medical school. This study has succeeded in developing the first scale to measure aspects of medical curiosity and, thus, lays the groundwork for future studies examining medical students’ curiosity. A deeper understanding of medical students’ curiosity can help to foster this curiosity effectively.

The Role of Problem Formulation in Problem-Based Learning to Improve the Students' Curiosity

Not many researchers report how to anticipate learning during the new normal, even though students are used to learning online, and it becomes a new challenge if they have to learn face-to-face after the pandemic ends. This article discusses PBL strategies integrated into blended learning (BL) as a solution in the new normal era to develop 21st-century skills, namely with the foundation of curiosity. This study aims to reveal the role of problem formulation in the PBL model in a blended learning framework to grow curiosity. The subjects of this study consisted of students of SMA Negeri 1 Metro and students of Physics education FKIP UM Metro. The research includes two stages, stage 1, the role of problem formulation in Physics subjects at SMA Negeri 1 Metro, to gain good experience in applying PBL, which is then applied to lectures in Higher Education, as stage 2. Data collection is carried out with documentation instruments, observations, and interviews. Data processing is carried out qualitatively based on observation through the involvement of researchers as participant observants—data analysis, including tabulation, classification, description, and interpretation to make conclusions. The results show that current learning needs to take advantage of online learning channels. The formulation of the PBL problem largely determines the occurrence of the learning process. The formulation of problems related to the application of technology is more exciting and can grow curiosity more optimally. So, it is recommended that design learning must facilitate the use of learning channels available online. The formulation of problems in PBL must be designed appropriately. It should be related to the application of technology so that the learning process runs well and can grow student curiosity.

Statistical Analysis on Influence of Biology Laboratory Practical on Senior Secondary Students’ Academic Performance in Ilorin East Lga, Kwara State

High achievement especially in Biology is usually enhanced by proper Biology laboratory practical. However, it is assumed that most Biology teachers resort strictly to the use of theoretical method in teaching. This has constantly led to poor performance of students in the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination across Nigeria. Therefore, this study investigated the statistical analysis on influence of Biology laboratory practical on students’ academic performance of Senior Secondary Students in Ilorin East, Kwara State, Nigeria. The study was a descriptive survey type. One hundred and twenty (120) students were sampled for the study using proportionate and simple random sampling technique in Ilorin East L.G.A, Kwara State, Nigeria. A researched designed questionnaire was used to accumulate information from respondents. Three research questions and two research hypotheses formulated were tested using percentage, mean, frequency count and independent t. test and ANOVA at 0.05alpha level of significant. The result of findings revealed that Biology laboratory practical has a great influence on senior secondary school students' academic performance and also on the level of understanding and retention capabilities of students but there was no significant influence of Biology laboratory practical on students’ academic performance based on gender but not was significant based on class size. It is thus recommended that; all Biology teachers should engage students more in pratical activities more than the theory aspect to facilitate better understanding among the students, Ministry of Education should provide adequate laboratory equipment and good laboratory environment to promote spirit of curiosity in students and stakeholders should build more infrastructure such as laboratories, classrooms and others.

Teachers scaffold student discourse and emotions in knowledge building classrooms

ABSTRACT The way teachers support students’ Knowledge Building discourse may influence their subsequent discourse moves and emotions. However, in previous research on Knowledge Building, teacher scaffolding was rarely scrutinized, especially in offline Knowledge Building discourse; neither was how the support is associated with students’ discourse moves or emotions. This study addressed these issues by examining how two teachers scaffolded the offline Knowledge Building discourse of a class of students from grade 2 to grade 3 and the associations between teacher scaffolding and students’ discourse moves and emotions. Through discourse analysis, we identified a few patterns of teaching scaffolding for Knowledge Building, including giving instructions, asking for elaboration, revoicing, asking for explanations, inviting different ideas, and inviting new directions. Using correlation analyses, we found positive correlations between teacher asking for explanations and students providing partial or elaborated explanations. Teacher inviting new directions was positively correlated with students’ questions. There was a negative correlation between teacher asking for elaboration and student curiosity. This study has implications for how teacher support can be designed to foster desired student discourse moves and emotions.

Once upon a Time, in a Computer Engineering Department ....

When I read Tamer's introduction, talking about advice from senior researchers, I had to agree that I am now, indeed in that category. I am presently department chair and used to be vice-rector in the past, acting more like a manager than a researcher. However, I confess that I still have some small personal spaces in which I permit myself to feel like an enthusiastic young post-doc, stop reading documents and start thinking about new research issues. Actually, this is my first advice for those who are in their mid-career: do not just look ahead ("ad maiora" used to say in the ancient Roma), always keep within you the curiosity of the PhD student that you used to be.

The aesthetic effects of a new lesson design approach: Mathematical stories

Research suggests that high school students often have negative experiences with mathematics. To address this challenge, this paper shares findings of a design-based research project in which researchers and teachers developed and used a narrative approach to lesson planning in order to design lesson experiences that provide opportunities for high school students to become captivated with mathematical content (“CMLs”). The goal of this approach is to provide students positive aesthetic opportunities, such as inspiring student curiosity, while maintaining cognitive demand and coherence. Overall, students reported more positive, varied aesthetic experiences (e.g., suspense, surprise) in CMLs than in other lessons with the same teacher and students. These findings provide evidence that designing lessons as mathematical stories shows promise and can offer students more positive aesthetic experiences in mathematics.

Misconception Level Analysis of Prospective Physics Teacher Students in Geometric Optic Using Multiple-Misconception Revealing Test

This study aims to identify the level of misconceptions that prospective physics teacher students have on the subject of optics. The diagnostic test instrument developed follows the Multiple-Misconception Revealing Test (MMRT) format. The research subjects are prospective physics teacher students in the Physics Education Department who have graduated Basic Physics course and are programming the Optical Waves course in the even semester of 2021. MMRT is a test in the form of open questions and is at the creative level, namely in the form of building with certain rules. This test requires solving problems with additional explanations so that it is easy to identify true or false quickly and arouse curiosity in students to solve them. Problem-solving is equipped with a level of confidence and an explanation of why they answered that way. The results of this study will be used as a first step to developing appropriate learning strategies and teaching materials to be able to remediate misconceptions that occur in students. The test used consisted of 10 items consisting of 7 items about reflection by a mirror and 3 items about refraction. The results of the analysis showed that 14.7% of students experienced misconceptions-1, 13.7% of students experienced misconceptions-2 and, 10.5% experienced misconceptions-n.

Top-Down Learning Pedagogy for Real Time Embedded System Design

Abstract : This paper presents an innovative pedagogical approach for average learners to implement projects by effectively fitting their knowledge in solving real-world problems. In particular, it concentrates on embedded systems and embedded signal processing as the current world is experiencing through digital era. Even though both courses are taught, only less numbers of students are opting for embedded projects due to fear of coding and lack of fitting their knowledge appropriately. The focus of this study is to make students to come out of fear by following top-down teaching learning methodology for the design and implementation of Electro Cardio Gram (ECG) data acquisition system. Accordingly, initial interest has been generated by taking the students to the hospital where doctors acquire ECG routinely for their patients and do Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to observe the spectrum for diagnosis purpose. Every real time system uses high level language for implementation. However, noncomputer science students always found it difficult. In order to make the students to come out of fear, simple scripting language MATLAB was tried first. MATLAB coding demo was given to observe the waveforms and an exercise was made to correlate with actual workplace. After interest creation phase, the relationship has been established between the practical they did and the workplace instrument. In the final stage, their learning process was activated by applying inquiry-based (Masoodhu Banu et al. (2020)) learning. Once the quest for real time implementation was created, it was observed that the student's curiosity was increased enormously and was instituted to be effective coders in solving real time applications with more confidence Keywords: Top-Down learning, Bottom-up learning, ECG, Active learning, embedded system

Exploring Students’ Critical Thinking and Curiosity: A Study on Problem-Based Learning with Character Development and Naturalist Intelligence

This study aimed to investigate the impact of problem-based learning with a focus on character development and naturalist intelligence on critical thinking (CT) abilities and curiosity of students. The study was conducted in a school in the city of Mataram - Indonesia, utilizing a 3x2 treatment by level design. Two groups of students, categorized as having high or low naturalist intelligence, were exposed to three different treatments: problem-based learning with character development (PBL-CD), problem-based learning, and regular learning. Data regarding the students' naturalist intelligence and CT abilities were collected through tests, while information on their curiosity was obtained through observation sheets and self-assessment. Statistical analysis using MANOVA at a significance level of 0.05 was performed. The findings revealed that: (a) PBL-CD had a positive impact on students' CT abilities and curiosity; (b) the naturalist intelligence did not significantly influence students' CT abilities and curiosity; and (c) there was no significant impact observed on students' CT abilities and curiosity when examining the interaction between PBL-CD and naturalist intelligence. Thus, PBL-CD presents itself as a viable strategy to cultivate students' critical thinking skills and inquisitiveness, offering an alternative pathway in routine learning in the classroom.
