Accuracy of OBGYN Resident Physician Clinical Estimation of Fetal Weight in Term Pregnancies Before and After a Teaching Curriculum

Purpose: Accurate prediction of fetal birth weight can improve antepartum and intrapartum shared decision-making with patients. Therefore, this study primarily sought to determine if OBGYN residents are more accurate at clinically estimating fetal weight via Leopold maneuvers following a teaching curriculum including a hands-on simulation model. Secondary aims were to determine if accuracy changes depending on training level, maternal or fetal characteristics. Methods: A paired t-test was used to evaluate the primary aim of the teaching curriculum’s effect on accuracy of correct fetal weight estimation. Nineteen residents served as their own controls to assess differences in accuracy by performing 10-12 estimates prior to and after the teaching curriculum. The curriculum consisted of a short verbal workshop with images of how to perform Leopold maneuvers, along with five models that were created to represent a gravid uterus with a fetus measured in the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 95th percentiles. Residents were also tested on models with unknown weights to confirm accuracy prior to completing the teaching curriculum. The inclusion criteria during the fetal weight estimates pre- and post-curriculum was as follows: mother had to deliver during hospital admission; gestational age was between 37 weeks and 41 weeks; singleton pregnancy; mother had not undergone rupture of membranes; mother was English speaking. Accuracy was defined as estimated fetal weight within 10% of actual birth weight. Generalized Logistic Mixed Models were used to assess accuracy when adjusting for PGY level, maternal and fetal characteristics. Maternal characteristics including age, BMI, race, pregestational diabetes, gestational diabetes, polyhydramnios, and oligohydramnios were abstracted from maternal medical charts via retrospective chart review. Infant characteristics including fetal macrosomia, fetal growth restriction, and gestational age were also recorded. Analyses were conducted using SAS 9.4; all p-values were two-sided and p-values <0.05 were deemed statistically significant. Results: Nineteen OBGYN residents performed a total of 443 Leopold maneuvers to estimate fetal weight. Overall, resident estimation accuracy within 10% of actual birth weight improved from 65.5% to 67.4% (p=0.49) after the teaching curriculum. Senior residents showed a greater improvement after the teaching curriculum than junior residents, however it was not statistically significant. This could be due to the low sample size. Increasing gestational age was associated with higher odds of accurate estimation of fetal weight (OR 1.34, p=0.0295). There were no other differences in accuracy based on other maternal or fetal factors. Conclusion: The teaching of Leopold maneuvers is often not formalized in residency programs. This study did not show the expected improvement in accuracy of fetal weight estimation. Considerations that may impact clinical estimations include improving the simulation model, revising the teaching curriculum, and/or doing the teaching curriculum more frequently. Incorporating this hands-on simulation annually within the residency program educational curriculum to standardize the learning experience may be beneficial.

Listening to children in nature: emergent curriculum in science teaching and learning in bush kinders

ABSTRACT Outdoor early childhood education contexts such as nature kindergartens have been established for well over 50 years in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. Despite their popularity in these settings, similar approaches in countries such as Canada, China, New Zealand and Australia have taken time to become established. One example of where this approach to nature kindergartens in early childhood education has recently taken a foothold is the Australian ‘bush kinder’. Bush kinders are a context where four- to five-year-old preschool children can experience and learn biological, chemical and physical sciences in natural environments through play. This paper draws on research undertaken in bush kinders, applying ethnographic data. Data collection commenced in 2015 and subsequently, members of the research team returned to bush kinders in 2017, 2020 and 2023 to understand how the bush kinder approach to curriculum has continued to develop and grow. We respond to two research questions in this paper, (1) What are teachers’ experiences of an emergent science curriculum in bush kinder setting? And (2) How does an emergent science curriculum develop within bush kinder settings? Through observing educators’ application of emergent curriculum, we found that time spent in bush kinder provides children with the voice to articulate their science understandings.

Development of the Islamic Religious Education Curriculum at PTU as Strengthening Multicultural Islam

One of the courses in educational institutions in higher education, which is very related with the development of morals and behavior is Religious Education. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at Public Higher Education (PTU) is a continuation of the teaching received by students starting from the Elementary Level, Junior and Senior High Schools. In the structure of the national higher education curriculum, Islamic religious education courses are compulsory subjects for all Muslim students in all public tertiary institutions, both public and private universities. The progress of an educational institution, one of which is determined by the teaching materials or curriculum applied, whether it is in accordance with the needs of stakeholders. Indonesia is a multicultural country, so the design of teaching materials or curriculum must be developed according to the demands of the times, times and circumstances. Therefore, the authors state that there are 4 reasons why this paper is important to study: First, the lack of knowledge of Islam among PTU students and public schools; second, the rise of brawls between students (students); third, lack of appreciation among students and students in the field of religion; and fourth, the decreased empathy and religiosity of students and students.

Simulation of E-learning video recommendation based on virtual reality environment on English teaching platform

E-learning video is an effective teaching tool, and virtual reality technology can enhance the learning experience. However, the current English teaching platform lacks the personalized and real-time feedback video recommendation system. Therefore, this study proposes an E-learning video recommendation system based on virtual reality environment, which aims to provide a personalized, interactive and real-time feedback learning experience. In this paper, the prototype of E-learning video recommendation system based on virtual reality environment is designed, and the simulation experiment is carried out on the English teaching platform. In the environment of the E-learning platform, human–computer interaction and entertainment media can enhance students’ learning process and assist in teaching work. This article analyzes the simulation of E-learning video recommendation based on virtual reality environment on English teaching platforms. The E-learning video recommendation system can create user profiles on the website based on their basic information and behavior, fully tap into their preferences, and provide personalized learning services for them. The recommendation system can be divided into two parts: offline and online. Offline systems are mainly responsible for creating video related content, while online systems store data in databases, allowing for real-time investigation and retrieval of data; Online systems can respond to user requests in real-time, and combining online extraction with user behavior analysis can generate the final recommendation results. While constructing an artificial intelligence platform for English teaching, it is also necessary to propose application strategies for English teaching and achieve modernization of curriculum teaching.

What are medical students taught about persistent physical symptoms? A scoping review of the literature

BackgroundPersistent Physical Symptoms (PPS) include symptoms such as chronic pain, and syndromes such as chronic fatigue. They are common, but are often inadequately managed, causing distress and higher costs for health care systems. A lack of teaching about PPS has been recognised as a contributing factor to poor management.MethodsThe authors conducted a scoping review of the literature, including all studies published before 31 March 2023. Systematic methods were used to determine what teaching on PPS was taking place for medical undergraduates. Studies were restricted to publications in English and needed to include undergraduate medical students. Teaching about cancer pain was excluded. After descriptive data was extracted, a narrative synthesis was undertaken to analyse qualitative findings.ResultsA total of 1116 studies were found, after exclusion, from 3 databases. A further 28 studies were found by searching the grey literature and by citation analysis. After screening for relevance, a total of 57 studies were included in the review. The most commonly taught condition was chronic non-cancer pain, but overall, there was a widespread lack of teaching and learning on PPS. Several factors contributed to this lack including: educators and learners viewing the topic as awkward, learners feeling that there was no science behind the symptoms, and the topic being overlooked in the taught curriculum. The gap between the taught curriculum and learners’ experiences in practice was addressed through informal sources and this risked stigmatising attitudes towards sufferers of PPS.ConclusionFaculties need to find ways to integrate more teaching on PPS and address the barriers outlined above. Teaching on chronic non-cancer pain, which is built on a science of symptoms, can be used as an exemplar for teaching on PPS more widely. Any future teaching interventions should be robustly evaluated to ensure improvements for learners and patients.
