The Inverted Case Study Technique: changing the traditional case-study approach to prioritize physiological mechanisms over correct diagnosis and treatment.

The traditional case study has been used as a learning tool for the past 100 years, and in our program, graduate physiology students are presented with a real-world scenario and must determine the diagnosis and treatment of the patient. We found that students defaulted to memorization of disease with treatment and bypassed gaining an understanding of the mechanistic physiology behind disease and treatment. To adjust our student's approach, we developed a novel way to enhance student learning. To accomplish this shift from memorization to physiological mastery, we created the Inverted Case Study. This approach diverges from the traditional model in that students are given the diagnosis and treatment beforehand and are tasked with explaining the actual physiology of the case. In this way, students can no longer rely on the memorization of symptoms-disease-treatment but rather gain a solid understanding of the physiological mechanisms of the disease since that is the focus of the Inverted Case Study Technique. The Inverted Case Study approach is an effective approach to apply and hone critical thinking skills.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This article presents a novel approach to century-old learning techniques that enhances students' self-reported learning and also their attitudes toward learning mechanistic physiology and increases their perception of preparedness for professional school.

A Study of The Effects of Classroom Structure and Instructional Methods on Students Learning of Trigonometric Concepts in Mathematics

To think in a methodical and logical way, mathematics is an essential skill. On top of that, it may be used to learn new things in many other subjects. Recently, there has been a need to find better ways to teach mathematics, especially trigonometry, at senior high schools (SHSs), in order to increase students' understanding of the subject. Thus, numerous studies on what makes a good teaching style that helps students understand the material are necessary. Research has shown that students in higher education, particularly those at the secondary school level, suffer when teachers are unable to relate to the elements of a meaningful-based teaching approach. This study sheds insight on the ways in which a student's learning environment and instructional approaches affect his or her capacity to learn trigonometry, an area where academic policy-makers and educators are now developing transformational initiatives.The study objectives of this article are founded on the premise that environmental motivating characteristics are necessary to excite students' attention and intellect when learning trigonometry, a real-life method that depends on the size and distance of an object. As a result, this program aims to improve and make better use of two features—the classroom environment and instructional method —in elementary and secondary school settings.

Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Determinants of Academic Performance in Nursing

Nursing education is a rigorous and demanding pursuit, requiring a comprehensive understanding of medical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and effective clinical practice. The success of nursing students in academic and clinical settings is influenced by a myriad of factors that encompass both cognitive and non-cognitive determinants. This paper examines the key cognitive determinants, which include critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, clinical reasoning, and memory skills. These cognitive factors provide the foundational framework for grasping intricate medical concepts and making informed decisions in real-world healthcare scenarios. Furthermore, this paper delves into the non-cognitive determinants that significantly impact academic performance in nursing education. Factors such as motivation, emotional intelligence, resilience, and interpersonal skills play a pivotal role in shaping a nursing student's approach to learning, coping with challenges, and delivering patient-centered care. The importance of cultural competence, adaptability, and teamwork is also explored, as they contribute to effective collaboration in the dynamic healthcare environment. Recognizing the intricate relationship between cognitive and non-cognitive determinants is imperative for nursing education programs. By fostering a nurturing learning environment, offering mentorship and support services, and integrating experiential learning opportunities, nursing institutions can equip their students with the tools needed to excel academically and become well-rounded, compassionate, and skilled nurses. This paper underscores the significance of addressing both cognitive and non-cognitive factors to ensure the holistic development of nursing students and their future contributions to healthcare.

College Students Consumption Behavior Under the Background of E-Commerce and Smart Logistics Technologies

The impact of online systems and processes worldwide makes online purchasing popular. College students are among the possible buyers of E-commerce. This study looks at the characteristics that influence college students' online purchase intention in one of Chinese quickest cities. With smart logistics, it is possible to follow the transportation and dispatch of goods and services in almost real-time. Smart logistics has long been implemented by e-commerce enterprises, taxi apps, and food delivery services. The student's Consumption Behavior Approach (SCBA) is suggested in this article. The survey collection is analyzed to group the learner's research on online activityand smart logistics technology. Because the sample group is thus tiny, approaches are used. The findings reveal that fun, risk, and cultural pressure substantially influence pupils' online buying behavior. SCBA grouping produces three behavioral sections: that mostly impacted by social power and perception of risk, that features by pleasure and online trust.

Teachers are expected to be able to encourage students to always learn in various activities or opportunities through various sources and media. Teachers should help every student and effectively be able to use learning opportunities from various learning sources and media effectively and efficiently. In the learning process a teacher focuses more on aspects, planning the organization of teaching materials, planning the management of teaching and learning activities, planning the management of classes, planning the use of media and teaching resources, and planning assessment of student achievement for the benefit of teaching. Teachers must be able to make decisions on the basis of proper assessment, whether teaching and learning activities are sufficient, whether the methods are changed, whether past activities need to be repeated, while students have not been able to achieve learning goals.

Social inclusive education in secondary schools. A student's perspective approach

ABSTRACT Inclusion is one of the most important and emerging areas for school improvement. The purpose of this study was to explore the perception of high school students with the aim of determining whether there is a shared and inclusive education within their schools. An explanatory model was developed, based on the responses of 365 students from the participating high school, using a scale on inclusion that had already been used in the Spanish context. The results showed a high correlation between the perception of inclusion and factors such as the perception toward the supportive teacher, the need for help and the satisfaction perceived in the classroom. We analysed which potential factors proved to be good predictors of the results associated with the perception of educational inclusion obtained using this scale. The results showed that the students’ perceptions of inclusion evolved negatively over different grades. In contrast, it was found that their perception toward the teachers was mediated by the existence of a special need and age, and was higher in those students who had experienced the Support Teacher directly or indirectly.

Anatomy Performance and Strategic, Deep, and Surface Approaches Among Physician Assistant Students

Background Within anatomy education, relationships between learning approach and academic performance have been explored to understand programmatic curricula. Learning approaches have an impact on assessment outcomes, long-term retention of material, and overall academic success. Entwistle (2013) developed the Revised Approaches to Studying Inventory (RASI), a 52-item inventory assessing student approaches to studying in educational contexts, classifying studying preferences as strategic, deep, or surface. Objective The study aims to address whether there is a correlation between learning approach and final anatomy grade in a sample of physician assistant students. While other studies have examined the relationship between learning approach and other outcome measures, few have investigated allied health students in the United States with anatomy grade as the learning outcome. It was hypothesized that students with a dominant preference for the strategic approach would have higher anatomy grades than those who prefer deep or surface approaches. Methods First year students enrolled in a physician assistant program were invited to participate in the study two weeks following the completion of a four-credit gross anatomy course. Students were asked to complete the RASI in Qualtrics. Cronbach's alpha of the three scales were within good ranges of internal consistency: 0.81 (strategic approach), 0.82 (deep approach), and 0.83 (surface approach). Descriptive statistics characterized students’ dominant approach to learning anatomy. A one-way analysis of variance examined whether there was a difference in learning approach and anatomy grade, and whether mean anatomy grade differed by the student's dominant approach. Pearson's correlation coefficient evaluated the relationship between anatomy grade and learning approach. Analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism and significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results A total of 48 students were invited to participate and 36 completed the RASI (75% response rate). Two students exhibited an equal preference for two learning approaches and were omitted from the analysis. There were no statistical differences in mean anatomy grade and learning approach (F = 0.2756, p = 0.7609), or mean anatomy grade and learning approach by sex (F = 0.9138, p = 0.4660). Anatomy grade was not correlated with learning approach for the strategic approach (r = -0.05517, p = 0.7493), deep approach (r = 0.08033, p = 0.6414), or surface approach (r = -0.1462, p = 0.3947). Conclusion The hypothesis that dominant use of the strategic approach would positively correlate with anatomy grade was not supported. This may be due to a low variability in mean grades. A limitation of this study is the self-reported nature of the inventory, and student answers may not reflect how they truly studied. Additionally, a metacognition presentation was given following their first set of exams, which may have promoted more effective study strategies for the duration of the course. Future studies will compare the learning approaches of physician assistant and physical therapy students, and seek to identify at-risk students before culmination of the anatomy course.

Chair dimension compatibility with elementary school students anthropometric data in North Jakarta

BACKGROUND In Indonesia, primary school begins at 6 years old and continues until 12, where most of their growth is experienced at that age. Non-ergonomic school furniture can harm the musculoskeletal system. This study evaluates the suitability of chair dimensions to elementary school student’s anthropometry in North Jakarta. METHODSA cross-sectional study of 98 students in North Jakarta. Chair dimension data and student anthropometry were measured using a tape measure, which was then analyzed using the Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test to evaluate their suitability. RESULTSThe ages of the students ranged from 5 to 11 years. Anthropometric measurements of students show that the mean Sitting Shoulder Height is 41.81±4.36 cm, Popliteal Height 36.83±3.77 cm, Hip Breadth 25.88±3.47 cm, and Buttock-Popliteal Length 36.56±4.33 cm. While the average size assessed from the seat dimensions is Seat Height 41.71±0.22 cm, Seat Width 37.2±1.26 cm, Seat Depth 37.2±1.42 cm, and Backrest Height Above Seat 35.54±3.19 cm. The results of Goodness of Fit with Kendall's Tau-b critical value for the suitability of chair dimensions to student anthropometry were 0.37, and vice versa 0.672, which stated a discrepancy. CONCLUSIONThere is a mismatch between chair dimension and anthropometry of elementary school students in North Jakarta. Adjustment of chair dimensions needs to be done using a student's average size approach to prevent musculoskeletal disorders.

A flexible robust Student's t-based multimodel approach with maximum Versoria criterion

The performance of the state estimation for Gaussian state space models can be degraded if the models are affected by the non-Gaussian process and measurement noises with uncertain degree of non-Gaussianity. In this paper, we propose a flexible robust Student's t-based multimodel approach. More specifically, the degrees of freedom parameter from the Student's t-distribution is assumed unknown and modelled by a Markov chain of state values. In order to capture more information of the Student's t-distributions propagated through multiple models, we establish a model-based Versoria cost function in the form of a weighted mixture rather than the original form, and maximize the function to interact and fuse the multiple models. Simulated results prove the flexibility of the robustness of the proposed Student's t-basedmultimodel approach when the existence probability of the outliers is uncertain.

ОСНОВНЫЕ ЭТАПЫ РАБОТЫ НАД МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫМ ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЕМ

This article discusses the main points of musical composition development. The author divides the study process into three stages: the first –introductory, the second –detailed work on the piece, the third -final, preparation for public performance.Special attention is paid to work of teacher in the DMSH, since students are differently gifted and yet teacher is expected to instill and develop students ' most complex performing skills while staying withing rigid time limits. When working with students, tutor musician should not only monitor the technically accurate performance of the work, but also constantly focus on the artistry and expressiveness of the musical material, as well as develop the student's creative approach to reading and mastering the musical text

Empowering online teachers through predictive learning analytics

AbstractThis study presents an advanced predictive learning analytics system, OU Analyse (OUA), and evidence from its evaluation with online teachers at a distance learning university. OUA is a predictive system that uses machine learning methods for the early identification of students at risk of not submitting (or failing) their next assignment. Teachers have access, via interactive dashboards, to weekly predictions of risk of failing for each of their students. In this study, we examined how the degree of OUA usage by 559 teachers, of which 189 were given access to OUA, related to student learning outcomes of more than 14 000 students in 15 undergraduate courses. Teachers who made “average” use of OUA, that is accessed OUA throughout the life cycle of a course presentation, and in particular between 10% and 40% of the weeks a course was running, and intervened with students flagged as at risk were found to benefit their students the most; after controlling for differences in academic performance, these students were found to have significantly better performance than their peers in the previous year's course presentation during which the same teachers made no use of predictive learning analytics. Predictive learning analytics is an innovative student's support approach in online pedagogy that, as shown in this study, can empower online teachers in effectively monitoring and intervening with their students, over and above other approaches, and result in improved learning outcomes. Practitioner NotesWhat is already known about this topic Pedagogical and personal support to students is a significant responsibility of online teachers. Student's support is a challenging activity due to the lack of face‐to‐face interactions. Predictive learning analytics (PLA) can identify students at risk of failing their studies. What this paper adds One of the few large‐scale studies is available for examining the impact of analytics on student's performance. Teachers' usage of PLA was significantly related to better learning outcomes. Online teachers had students with better learning outcomes when accessing PLA data rather than when they had no access. Implications for practice and/or policy PLA can empower online teachers and complement the teaching practice. PLA can help in the identification and proactive intervention of students at risk of failing their studies. Actions should be taken to motivate and engage online teachers with PLA.

Problem-Solving Approach in Multiple Representations of Qualitative and Quantitative Problems in Kinematics Motion

The study aims to find the approach used by students in solving physics problems with symbol and graph representations, and also to find out the student's approach to solving qualitative and quantitative questions. This is related to student good problem solvers use multiple representations to solve the problem. They use the qualitative and quantitative approach in a physics problem. The type of research conducted to find out this is quantitative descriptive. In this study, data were obtained by tests and interviews. We give four problems in kinematic motions to undergraduate students. The problem consists of a graphic and symbol representation of qualitative and quantitative problems. The result shows that the quantitative problem of symbol and graphic representation, all of the students only solve the problem without qualitative analysis. That proves in these problems all of the students become a novice problem solver in this problem. Different from it, 84% of students not only solve the qualitative physics problem in symbol representation problems with the qualitative approach but also, we solve with quantitative analysis. On the other hand, they only explain the graph representations problem with descriptions

A structured approach to the teaching of microbiology, virology and immunology for medical students

One of the main requirements for medical education at present is the training of a highly skilled and competitive specialist who meets international requirements and standards. Traditional techniques that have taken place in the education system in Ukraine to date can’t fully respond to the needs of modern high-tech industries, which are in many foreign countries.Microbiology, virology and immunology are a fundamental subject, so the information for students at the department is taught laconic and structured for more effective learning and application by students in practical classes in clinical disciplines.The article presents the structure of the methodological provision of four main areas of conducting classes: lectures, practical, independent and individual work of students. The method used by teachers and described the use of video systems during practical classes is given. It represents the use of information in the form of tables and diagrams using video systems. This allows students to maintain visual contact with the teacher and engage them in an active conversation while discussing the topic and achieve a better effect in the end result. There are described the experience of working out of practical skills by students in classes with the use of an individual approach to each student and a scheme of preparation for acquiring practical skills that takes place in the final classes.The use of modern tools and technologies in the training of qualified specialists in the field of medicine helps students to master the subject "Microbiology, Virology and Immunology" and acquire the necessary practical skills. It helps to develop a student's creative approach to learning, teaches analysis and systematization of information, promotes the development of professional thinking, makes it self-organized, develops analytical thinking, induces initiative, prepares for classes, makes studying interesting and dynamic, creates a level for all students’ opportunities and access to knowledge, promotes higher efficiency of material mastering

Estudio entomológico como herramienta pedagógica de enseñanza en la educación primaria y secundaria

The elaboration of this study aimed to analyze the importance of the didactic book for the student's life and approach to the subject: Entomology in the series of 7th year (6th year) the Elementary School and 2nd year of high school adopted by the School Unit Joaquim Parente of Bom Jesus - Piauí. In order to make this work was done analyzes critical in the workbooks ofscience and biology on the topic of Entomology. The following topics were considered as the analysis: theoretical content, visuals, practical activities and information such as number of pagesand organization of subjects. Was verified that both workbooks have good visual aids. Regarding the organization of subjects, 7th year (6th year), presents a more easily understood by the student, because the study of insects is separated from other arthropods, which is not done in the workbook of 2nd year. The subjects of the 2nd year of approaches exists in general all arthropods as: the general characteristics, diversity, anatomy, physiology and reproduction of arthropods. Everyone is made in simultaneously in a comparative way. It is intended with this work, to contribute to the debate on the need for greater involvement of teachers in the process of choosing a workbook.

Programming Language Use in US Academia and Industry

In the same way that natural languages influence and shape the way we think, program - ming languages have a profound impact on the way a programmer analyzes a problem and formu- lates its solution in the form of a program. To the extent that a first programming course is likely to determine the student's approach to program design, program analysis, and programming meth- odology, the choice of the programming language used in the first programming course is likely to be very important. In this paper, we report on a recent survey we conducted on programming language use in US academic institutions, and discuss the significance of our data by comparison with programming language use in industry.

Using social media to develop personal learning environments and self-regulated learning skills: a case study

Personal learning environment or PLE is a relatively new concept that is premised on social media technologies and steadily gaining ground as an effective platform for student learning. PLEs are student-designed around each student's goals or learning approach requiring students to engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) to succeed. The aim of the present study is to examine how students create PLEs using social media and the extent to which they engage in SRL in the process. Five participants, two males and three females, participated in this study. Using a case study approach these participants were interviewed to uncover what processes of SRL they use while developing their PLE and whether social media are effective learning and development tools. The findings show that PLE development engages students in SRL particularly in the processes of goal setting, task strategies, self-monitoring and self-evaluation. The findings also revealed that participants reported being intrinsically motivated in using social media to create their PLE. The implications for practice and future research are discussed.

An education in midwifery: The role of an elective placement in shaping a student's approach

Despite the widespread recognition of the benefits of minimal interventions within birth, the number of women having a ‘normal birth’ is less than half and dissatisfaction is often reported ( Department of Health, 2005 ; Birth Choice UK, 2013 ). This paper presents how an elective placement in a freestanding birth centre shaped the author's attitude to midwifery. The placement specifically enabled the author to consider what makes birth go well (rather than focusing just on what makes it go ‘wrong’) and encouraged her to examine the role she might play in contemporary maternity services. This experience was powerful in identifying avenues for personal and professional development, and has enabled the author to clarify her objectives as a midwife and what is needed to achieve them.

The Validity of ASSIST as a Measurement of Learning Approach among MDAB Students

Students have their own style to receive and respond to learning process. Recognition of student's learning approach is important and the focus should be on education because it is a key factor in the formation of an individual. There are many instruments have been developed to measure students’ approaches of learning including Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST). Thus, the aim of this study is to explore an instrument and to test the predictive validity of (ASSIST) on current and past MDAB students. The questionnaires were distributed the students in UiTM Negeri Sembilan, comprising a total of 112 samples. ASSIST is atype of questionnaire that has been widely used in studies of learning approaches. Three groups were identified in this questionnaire: Deep, Strategic and Surface approaches. One section out of four sections in the questionnaire will be used- Approaches to Study, which consists of 52 items.The researchers will examine the instrument through Path Diagram Analysis by using SPSS and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) programme.The findings of this study show that ASSIST is an appropriate instrument and proven valid through the scores obtained in the main scales and subscales. Thus, ASSIST can be used as a valuable instrument to access approaches to learning of MDAB students in Negeri Sembilan. We also find that there are significant and positive correlations between deep, surface and strategic approaches.
