A pilot study for the evaluation of 3D anatomy application 'Complete Anatomy' as an additional non-mandatory study tool for the functional anatomy classes of first year physical therapy students.

For this pilot study, the use of the digital 3D anatomy application Complete Anatomy was evaluated as a non-mandatory additional study tool throughout the semester. The aim of the study was to investigate if the Complete Anatomy usage time had an effect on final exam grades and how the app was used post-Covid19. This cross-sectional study asked first year bachelor/freshman university students of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences to fill out a questionnaire to gauge Complete Anatomy usage time, the student's exam results, and how the app was used, for example, in relation to other study tools. A positive correlation was found between the proportion of students that passed the final exam and the number of hours of Complete Anatomy usage (rs (4) = 0.94, p = 0.016). Compared to students who didn't use Complete Anatomy, these positive effects were observed when students used Complete Anatomy for at least 10 h (p = 0.04). The app was well-used with almost half of the respondents reporting >10 h of usage time. The results from this study provide a good overview of how and how often Complete Anatomy is used. Although a positive correlation between the hours of use and the number of passing grades was found in this pilot study, a future study to prove the causality between these two factors is warranted to further investigate the effect of Complete Anatomy as an additional non-mandatory study tool.

Predicting Diabetes Disease Using Data Mining Classification Algorithms and Comparison of Algorithm Performances

Data is always produced everywhere in the universe. In our globalizing world, where the internet is rapidly spreading, countless data set examples can be given. We produce data when we shop at a bookstore, make a transfer from our bank account, travel with an airline, or get tested in a hospital. Test results of hospital patients, production reports of a manufacturing factory, and exam results of students are examples of data sets. This data pile grows daily, and the data has no meaning. Data gains meaning by being processed by various tools and transformed into information. Today, information has become the most incredible power. In this study, a prediction study of diabetic patients was made with ten different algorithms from classification methods, one of the data mining methods. At the end of the prediction study, the algorithms' performances were compared. The unique aspect of this study is that the performance of the algorithms is compared by making predictions with ten different classification methods instead of just one or a few classification methods.

Accessing Trends, and Measuring Sexual and Location Disparities of the Performance of National Examination Examinees: The case of Amhara Regional State Grade Ten Students

Background: Examinations are given to certify and select candidates for higher educations. The Ethiopian General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (EGSECE) was administered from 2001 to 2019. This study was done on grade ten students’ results who were taken the EGSECE exams in Amhara region 2001 to 2017. The purpose of this research was to see the trends of absolute and relative measures of the national exam sitters and passers, and evaluate sexual and locational disparities of their performances. Method: The researchers would use retrospective research design and adopted multi stage cluster random sampling. Students were the primary units while Zones where their schools found were secondary. All grade ten students registered to take the EGSECE exam in each year in several high schools found in different administrative zones of the region were our sample. To analyze the data, the researchers used trend and variance analysis. Results: Though the numbers of EGSECE exams sitters in the region were increased year to year, the relative numbers of passers were very low. The researchers found the gap between the trends of the numbers of students registered and took the national examinations were narrow. As time increased, the area between the trends of the numbers of students took the national exam and those got pass mark became wider. The trends of the promotion rates were the mirror images of the repetition rates. As time goes, the areal gap between the trends of the promotion rates of males and females became narrow. The mean promotion rate differences between male and female students were significant. Also, the average promotion rate differences of students among their administrative zones were significant. Conclusion: In Amhara region little information exists on trend analysis of national exam results of students, and comparison of their mean promotion rates segregated by gender and zone.

Teaching Anatomy in Physical Education: Deductive Versus Inductive Methodology

Substantial knowledge in human anatomy is the premise for constructing lifelong effective exercise programs in public health. The level of public awareness of the basic structure of the human body remains low for years and continues to be a challenge for trainees. The traditional teaching approach in anatomy studies utilizes inductive methodology, where body parts of the structure are taught separately, which might be productive for medical students. Teaching anatomy in nonmedical programs like physical education (PE), however, intends for a holistic understanding of the subject to accentuate functional anatomy, which differs from its classical medical programs purely structural comprehension. Consequently, we suggested that a deductive rather than an inductive form of teaching anatomy in PE might bring the difference and ease the studying process. To statistically analyze this hypothesis traditionally utilized in the PE inductive educational approach for anatomy study was compared with the newly introduced deductive form of teaching through retrospective evaluation of student's exam results. Exam scores of 1167 first-year students were divided into population and sample groups. The former included 1055 exam results of students previously taught by inductive methodology, whereas the latter consisted of 114 students' exam results after the deductive presentation of anatomy. The comparative analysis made by t-test for population-sample groups demonstrated significantly higher (p<0,001) exam scores in the sample group (40.1 ± 14.2 [95%CI 37.45-42.73]) comparing to the population group (34.5 ± 14.0 [95%CI 33.75-35.43]). The limited time of anatomy study and preliminary unawareness of human anatomy made the teacher-centered deductive approach in PE more effective.

Development of an Android-based Computer Based Test (CBT) In Middle School

The teaching and learning process, especially the process of evaluating student learning outcomes, the teacher still uses a semi-conventional evaluation process where the exam process is carried out using social media to send student exam results which are done manually on paper. This kind of evaluation process is less effective and efficient, both in terms of time, the method used, and the examination process which requires a long time and inaccurate examinations. For this reason, the authors designed a Computer Based Test (CBT) application as a media for evaluating student learning outcomes. The study aims to develop an Android-based Computer Based Test whether it is valid, practical, and effective in the learning exam / evaluation process. This research method is Research and Development which is focused on developing a smartphone-based Computer Based Test, especially Android. The development model used refers to the Alessi and Trollip development model, which consists of 3 stages, namely: planning, design, and development. The total research subjects were 30 students and 1 mathematics subject teacher. The media developed was validated by media experts and material experts, with the results of validation by material experts obtained an average score of 3.7 (very valid) and by media experts an average score of 3.8 (very valid) was obtained. This means that it can be stated that the Android-based Computer Based Test is very practical in the evaluation / exam process in mathematics subjects. Based on the results of the feasibility test of the Computer Based Test, it can be concluded that the use of the Computer Based Test is feasible to be used as a medium for evaluating learning in mathematics subjects

Teaching Autonomic Cardiovascular Pharmacology to Medical Students: An Innovative Worksheet Approach.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction: Autonomic (ANS) pharmacology is a fundamental part of any medical education curriculum and presents unique learning challenges. Students at a US allopathic medical school created a worksheet as a novel approach to improving student learning of and confidence with cardiovascular (CV) ANS pharmacology during the pre-clinical curriculum. Methods: The student who created the cardiovascular ANS worksheet introduced it as a supplemental learning tool to the class of 2023 in their first semester of the first year in a foundational biomedical science course. The worksheet allows students to draw changes in heart rate and blood pressure when ANS drugs are administered individually and in combination. A self-assessment tool was also created to provide students immediate feedback on their learning following the completion of the worksheet. Voluntary surveys evaluated amount of usage, confidence with, and usefulness of the worksheet in learning the topic. Course exam results of students who used the tool were compared with all students in the previous year's class (control). Results: More than half the class participated in using the worksheet, self-assessments, and the surveys. Not only did self-confidence with the topic significantly increase but so did their performance on ANS-relevant exam questions when comparing those who used the worksheet with the previous year's class. Conclusions: An innovative worksheet with self-assessment tool for learning CV ANS pharmacology holds promise to enhance confidence with this topic as well as improve learning outcomes as measured by course exams.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS’ INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND THE FINAL EXAM RESULTS OF A STUDENT ON ENGLISH SUBJECT

Housing conditions and children’s school results: evidence from Norwegian register data

In this article, we investigate the extent to which housing conditions are associated with school results for children living in Norway. We link individual exam results of students from three national exams in the 5th, 8th and 10th grades for all children living in Norway in the years 2015–2017, to a number of official national datasets including a novel housing register that has information on key housing characteristics for all households in Norway. We also use a newly released noise register, which estimates noise exposure for every address in Norway. Our results show that living in a crowded home, in rented accommodation, being exposed to high levels of noise and residential mobility is associated with poorer exam results. This negative correlation is stronger for older children. However, further testing suggests that we can no longer rule out that the negative association between renting and overcrowding is driven by unobserved cofounders. Residential mobility and noise pollution, on the other hand, remain negative even after controlling for omitted variable bias.
