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.

Students’ Involvement and Interest in Teaching

Students’ low interest and superficial involvement in teaching are becoming increasingly problematic for teachers and students. With this research, we examined students’ attitudes. We determined whether today’s teaching, in addition to the outcomes foreseen in the curriculum, develops students’ competencies and how interested and involved students are in teaching. The research aimed to identify and determine students’ involvement in teaching, examine their emotional, cognitive, and social competencies, and check whether there are differences concerning interest in teaching chemistry and socio-pedagogical characteristics of students (gender, age, and school performance). The research sample included elementary school students from the territory of the city of Novi Grad. The results of the conducted research showed a significant connection between the interest and involvement of students in chemistry classes and the involvement of students in teaching in general, especially at the cognitive level. Students like to observe but also perform chemical experiments, ask questions, and apply the knowledge they learned daily. In this way, they consolidate and improve their knowledge, improve practical skills, and promote the development of interest in chemistry classes. Understanding the interplay of different dimensions of involvement can enable the design of better programs to encourage the involvement and interest of students in chemistry classes.

Adjectives in the Summary Paragraph of the MSPE: Are They Telling Us Something?

Rationale and ObjectivesMany US medical schools do not provide a summative, comparative assessment of students (class rank), instead utilizing descriptive adjectives in the summary paragraph of the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE). The objective of this study was to determine whether those adjectives correlate with student performance. Materials and MethodsApplications from all US allopathic medical schools received by a single diagnostic radiology program in the 2023-24 cycle were reviewed. The final adjectives from schools that rank students were coded as positive, negative, or neutral. For students from non-ranking schools, descriptive adjectives from the MSPE summary paragraphs were extracted and categorized based on the final adjective coding schema along with a library of commonly used positive adjectives. The frequency of adjectives was correlated with applicant academic and demographic factors using multivariable logistic regression. ResultsApplications from 97% (147/151) of US allopathic medical schools were received. 60.5% (89/147) of schools rank their students with 27.9% (41/147) using a final adjective coded to performance tier. Of the 58 non-ranking schools, 56.9% (33/58) used descriptive adjectives in the MSPE’s summary paragraph. There was no association with academic performance metrics and either generally positive adjectives or coded descriptive adjectives. There was a greater association with positive descriptive adjectives for non-white applicants (p=0.011) and generally positive adjectives for higher ranked schools (p=0.004). ConclusionUndefined descriptive adjectives in the MSPE’s summary paragraph, when benchmarked to final adjectives, do not correlate with academic performance, and may instead be used for student advocacy by medical school deans.

Improving Argument-Based Explanation Writing in Inclusive High School Science Class for Students with and without Exceptionalities

ABSTRACT There have been many calls for the development of discipline-specific argument writing interventions to integrate science-specific and general literacy standards and goals. Yet, adolescents with and without exceptionalities struggle to meet existing writing demands. This explanatory sequential mixed methods design draws from the strengths of multiple baseline design and integrates rich qualitative data, from a student perspective, to better understand the elements that contribute to effective discipline-specific writing instruction. The study examined the effects of implementing Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) through a writing-to-learn sensemaking framework adapting the DEFEND strategy to improve students’ written argument-based explanations across inclusive science classrooms and focus learners with exceptionalities. A ninth-grade science teacher delivered science and writing instruction and collected quick writes before, during, and after SRSD implementation. Results indicated that students’ argument-based explanations improved in discipline-specific components (i.e. claim, evidence, reasoning, knowledge) and general components (i.e. organization and writing quality). Students discussed the challenges of using their developing knowledge to write argument-based explanations using the DEFEND strategy, with particular difficulties in expressing reasoning and an appropriate counterclaim. Issues of feasibility and usability are discussed.

The Current Needs for Learning Al-Quran and Fardu Ain (KAFA) Classes Through Homeschooling Method for Elementary School Students

This study aims to ascertain how primary school instructors felt about homeschooling of the Qur'an and Fardu Ain (KAFA). Needs analysis was conducted using a quantitative method with a questionnaire instrument containing three construct, distributed to 79 KAFA Islamic Education teachers in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. The obtained data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and were descriptively examined. The study's conclusions demonstrated that teachers' perceptions of the implementation of KAFA classes are high (M=4.28, SD=0.590), moderately high (M=3.63, SD=0.867) with regards to the students' level of mastery in KAFA subjects, and moderately high (M=3.43, SD=0.714) regarding the requirements of KAFA classes for homeschooling. The implication of this study is to be able to provide preliminary information about the need to provide a homeschooling model of Al-Quran and Fardu Ain (KAFA) classes for primary school students.

An analysis of turn-taking behaviors of Japanese learners of English in videoconferencing discussions

To successfully interact in a new language, learners must effectively take turns and manage the floor. Expectations and rules for turn-taking can differ between languages, making this more than a question of grammatical proficiency and vocabulary acquisition. In addition, the increased use of videoconferencing software in education and beyond makes learning to manage the floor in virtual spaces a useful skill for everyone, including language learners. To analyze the turn-taking behaviors of first language (L1) speakers of Japanese using English in videoconferencing interactions, three classes of first-year university students with intermediate level English skills were selected to have their in-class videoconferencing discussions recorded. Three of the recorded discussions were selected and analyzed to identify turn-taking behaviors and to analyze the techniques that influenced the speakers’ ability to succeed. Participants were observed to leave long gaps between speakers at turn transitions and rarely extended discussion topics to include multiple turns per speaker. There were three behaviors that were observed that helped some participants to reduce the gap between speakers. Clearly marking the end of a turn, energetic use of verbal backchannels, and comfort with unintentional overlap all seemed to be correlated with improved transition speed. Increased use of questions did lead to some topics being discussed beyond a single turn per speaker, but the difference was relatively small.

Excessive media use in class and university students’ academic performance: the mediation effect of online vigilance and gender differences

ABSTRACT It is prevalent for university students to spend a large amount of time and effort on media use during classes. Previous studies have proposed that there is an inconsistent conclusion about the effect of excessive media use on academic performance; that is, some research proposes negative effect while the other argues no effect. Therefore, the present study draws on the Stimuli-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, and adopts online vigilance as the organism that mediates the relationship between three dimensions of excessive media use in class (i.e., excessive social use (ESU), excessive hedonic use (EHU), and excessive cognitive use (ECU) and academic performance. Gender differences about the effect of excessive media use in class are also tested. Our empirical findings (n = 457) indicate a full mediation of online vigilance, confirming its organism role. Gender differences of the effect of excessive media use are also confirmed. In addition, our post-doc analysis further indicated that the effect of ECU on academic performance is fully mediated by ESU/EHU and online vigilance. This study enriches the literature of excessive media use in educational area, and emphasizes the importance of university students’ psychological states over the media use per se when predicting academic performance.
