COMMUNICATION FOR DIGITAL LEADERSHIP: AN EXPLORATION TO THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO LOW INDEX

Digital leadership is important today because leadership development is a key element of sustainability education. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leaders should deploy resources, be visionary and ethical, and focus on long-term goals without neglecting values and principles. There are nine elements to assess the digital leadership of teachers. One of the crucial elements in digital leadership of teachers is communication. However, previous studies show that communication has a low index in digital leadership compared to the other elements. Therefore, this study aims to explore the factors that contribute to a low index of communication in digital leadership. In this paper, a qualitative approach using a semi-structured interview is adopted. The interview protocol consists of basic information about the participants, guidelines for the participants, interview questions, and appreciation for the participants. The interviews were conducted thoroughly, although there was only one interview question. The interviews were conducted online via the Zoom application. The interview participants were selected by using purposive sampling that involved four teachers from primary and secondary schools in Perak, Selangor and Sabah. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. The analysis revealed five factors: inefficient use of communication channels, inappropriate attitude of parents, lack of face-to-face communication, inappropriate teaching methods of teachers and limited internet access. The implications of this study point to the possibility of improving the use of communication channels in an efficient way, improving teaching methods so that students can understand what is being taught by teachers, and improving Internet access to increase the frequency of communication and diversify the methods of online communication between teachers and students. Stakeholders, administration and teachers should be more proactive in seeking solutions to overcome these challenges. It is suggested that a further study on communication in digital leadership be conducted, involving teachers from all states and using a quantitative approach and interviews among teachers in all types of Malaysian schools.

Evaluation of a Simulation Based Training Course for Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors (NCHDS) in Psychiatry

IntroductionSimulation-based training (Sim) is an established method of teaching in medical education and can help bridge the gap between medical theory and clinical practice. While sim is well-established in medical and surgical specialties, it is less well developed in psychiatry. Psychiatric emergencies often occur out of hours when there are fewer senior staff available on-site. Sim offers a safe setting for development of essential clinical skills with carefully delivered feedback.Sim can be high-cost involving specialized simulation facilities, especially when utilising high-fidelity equipment. Even lower-fidelity techniques requiring standardized patients (SPs) require funding for actors and this can be a barrier to utilising Sim.ObjectivesWe piloted a Sim course to NCHDs working in psychiatry in a tertiary university hospital with the aim of improving trainee skills and confidence in managing psychiatric emergencies on-call including risk assessment, involuntary admission and acute behavioural disturbance. A low-fidelity approach was taken with minimal use of SPs.MethodsA sim handbook developed by Irish Centre for Applied Patient Safety and Simulation (ICAPSS) was used for reference in developing the simulation modules. Three modules were delivered in a structured manner over three hours; involuntary admission, risk assessment and management of acute behavioural disturbance. Each module involved the simulation exercise (20 minutes) followed by debrief (20 minutes). The facilitated debrief involved open discussion and prompted reflective learning. Anonymous, paper-based questionnaires were used to collect feedback on participants’ experience of the training.ResultsThere were 12 attendees and ten participants completed the feedback. All participants (100%, n=10) agreed or strongly agreed that sim helped them to learn and all agreed that the topics covered were relevant to their clinical role. All participants (100%, n=10), indicated that they enjoyed the workshop. Eighty percent (n=8) agreed or strongly agreed that they would like to do more sim-based workshops. The supportive environment and debrief sessions were reported as the most enjoyable aspects of the workshop.ConclusionsParticipants unanimously agreed that the training was useful to them in their clinical roles and helped them to learn. Sim was effective in teaching high risk complex psychiatric cases to psychiatry NCHDs and consideration should be given to expand this teaching method within postgraduate psychiatry training in Ireland.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Student satisfaction in the context of hybrid learning through sentiment analysis

<span lang="EN-US">With the incursion of data science into the academic field and the massification of social networks, it is possible to extract information on student satisfaction that contributes to feedback on teacher teaching strategies and methods. This article aims to determine student satisfaction with teaching performance, through sentiment analysis. Methodologically, the research is of a non-experimental longitudinal design, with a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out through the social network Twitter, and data analysis was carried out through the sentiment analysis technique. As a result, it was identified that in the first week of class, the highest level of satisfaction was obtained, reaching 96.3% of the total number of students. Meanwhile, in the evaluation weeks, the highest level of dissatisfaction was reaching 29.17%. It is concluded that when going from totally virtual learning to hybrid learning, students express a certain level of dissatisfaction typical of a process of progressive adaptation. Therefore, teachers should take advantage of these findings to redesign assessment rubrics in the context of hybrid teaching. Aspects such as collecting opinions through social networks and extracting a degree of satisfaction through them apply in a crossed way to other professional fields.</span>

Bridging the gaps in patient education through aesthetic-based education: A concept analysis study.

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that has been entered into the philosophy of education for a long time. Reviewing the concept of aesthetics in education, we can see the components that can cover a number of challenges in the field of patient education. Focusing on the conceptual dimensions obtained from the analysis of this concept, the aim is matching the resulting conceptual categories with the gaps in the field of patient education. Using a scoping review, we reviewed the literature dealt with different dimensions of aesthetic-based education. Walker and Avant's concept analysis approach was used to inductively analyze the content obtained from the review of literature. The data were divided into three general groups of antecedents, attributes, and consequences of the aesthetic-based education concept, and the final conceptual model was defined. Interdisciplinary comparisons between educational and medical sciences were made to match the concept of aesthetic education with the field of patient education to cover its issues. During the scope review process of the texts, after screening the articles, 17 articles selected to enter the concept analysis stage. Concept analysis phase showed that the main conceptual categories of antecedents of aesthetic-based education are aesthetic-based intrapersonal competencies and aesthetic capacities of educational setting. The attributes include aesthetic-based educational content and teaching methods including unity in diversity, combination with art and being based on empathy. The consequences include subliminal learning and constraint-free learning. These conceptual dimensions can cover four important issues in patient education including patient satisfaction, pedagogical competences of health educators, patient centeredness, and empathetic relationship. Applying aesthetic concept in the patient education process can bridge part of the gaps in this process. So, this study can be an introduction to future innovative models based on aesthetic paradigm in the field of patient education.

Discovering the Child? Individualization Processes of Catholic Religious Education in the Horizon of Secularization since 1900

At the beginning of the 20th century, early processes of secularization – especially in working-class families living in large cities – and inadequate teaching methods led to a crisis of Catholic religious education. Teachers and professors highlighted that it was becoming more and more difficult for reli­gious education to reach students and to ensure that they become devoted members of the Church. In this situation, a catechetical movement was established, which was mainly situated in Munich and Vienna, where teachers, catechists, and academics discussed reforms of the commonly used teaching methods in religious education. Conferences and the foundation of journals followed. It is at least from this point that the process of modernization in the field of religious education in the German-speaking context begins. This modernization gained traction after the Second Vatican Council and was also pro­moted by the phenomenon of secularization and pluralization after the 1960s. Against this background, the essay will address the following questions: What led to the modernization of religious education that began around 1900? What role was played by the new openness of catechists and theologians for edu­cation science and the (religious) pluralization of society? To answer this question, the article will focus on developments between 1900 and the 1920s, during the 1970s, and the more or less topical discus­sion about the concept of ‘theology of children’ since the late 1990s. This study will also ask whether this development can be described as the discovery of the child in theology and religious education. Finally, this paper asks what consequences this development has for a denominational religious education in state schools today and in the future.

Evaluation of the efficacy of a simulation model used in oral and maxillofacial surgery education

BackgroundThe traditional teaching methods of dental education are gradually being replaced with futuristic education methods based on the usage of educational tools such as mannequin-based simulation models and virtual reality. However, the effectiveness of mannequin-based simulation models as a learning method in the field of oral surgery remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of training on a tooth extraction model (TEM) in view of undergraduate dental students’ experience and perception of their education.MethodsA quasi-experimental trial was implemented with two consecutive year classes, totaling 136 students at the Dentistry Faculty of Altinbas University, Turkiye. Two cohorts were created from dental students in the classes of 2023 and 2022 graduates. Cohort 1 (n = 71) received 14 h of theoretical education followed by 10 h of preclinical education on TEM. Cohort 2 (n = 65) received only 14 h of theoretical education. An anonymous questionnaire was prepared with four main sections including the preferences of learning style, participants’ perceptions of the preclinical training methods, the students’ competency and free text comments. Students’ opinions were quantified with both 7-point Likert scales and thematic analysis. Anxiety levels were measured with the interval scale of anxiety response (ISAR). Descriptive statistics, inferential statistical and thematic analyses were conducted according to survey responses. Student characteristics were summarized and compared for two cohorts using a t-test. For all statistical analyses, the significance level was set atP ≤ 0.05.ResultCohort 1 was more comfortable with sequential motions performed with the forceps (P = 0.033) and felt more ready for their first clinical tooth extraction experience (P = 0.028). Cohort 2 showed a significantly higher preference for textbooks among supplementary materials (P = 0.04); however, they tended to exhibit lower self-confidence and higher anxiety levels, though without any statistical significance (P > 0.05).ConclusionIt is clear that the students who have yet to start seeing patients benefit from increased practice with training models, which adequately reflect and represent real-life situations encountered in everyday practice.

Analysis of pre-service teachers' flow experience in educational drama practices and the effect of practices on attitudes toward creative drama courses

Aim: The analysis of the flow experience of pre-service teachers in educational drama practices and the effect of the practices on the attitude towards creative drama lessons reveal the purpose of the study. It is of great importance for physical education teachers to use creative drama practices as an effective teaching method in physical education and sports lessons, both in terms of their personal development and professional development. Method: The study was designed with a pre-test-post-test control group experimental design, one of the true experimental designs, and one of the quantitative research methods. In addition to the demographic information form, the "Flow Experience Scale" and "Attitude Scale towards Creative Drama Lessons" were applied to the participants as measurement tools. The distribution of the participant's demographic information was analyzed by frequency analysis. T-test independent groups analyzed the participants' pre-test and post-test scale scores, and the change in the pre-test and post-test scores of the scales according to demographic information was analyzed by t-test in independent groups and one-way analysis of variance. A regression model was tested to determine the effect of reason on anxiety. Analyses were performed with SPSS 20.0 software at a 95% confidence level. Findings and Conclusions: As a result, there was no significant difference between the attitude scale scores towards flow experience and creative drama course of the students participating in the research according to their age, gender, income level, place of residence, and activity type, and between the pre-tests and post-tests of the scales. However, a significant difference was detected between the pre-test and post-test scores of the flow experience scale anxiety sub-dimension and the flow sub-dimension of the academic achievement variable. In addition, although there was no significant difference in terms of the variables mentioned, it was noted that the flow experience flow and anxiety subscale scores were low. In contrast, the attitude scores towards the creative drama course were high.

미국과 한국 초등 예비교사의 노티싱 역량과 유형 비교

This study compared and analyzed the noticing abilities of preservice elementary school teachers in the United States and Korea in terms of a sociocultural perspective. Noticing is a professional perspective that allows teachers to recognize students' thinking and actions during class and make teaching decisions based on it. In this study, we posed a task on fraction subtraction to preservice teachers in two countries and examined the differences in abilities and types of the three components of noticing, attending, interpreting, and responding. As a result of the analysis, preservice teachers in the two countries showed similar abilities in attending and interpreting, but Korean preservice teachers showed superior abilities in responding. In addition, preservice teachers in the two countries showed both similar and differentiated types. This is a result that reflects differences in educational culture and teaching methods, and shows differences in the sociocultural perspective of teacher education emphasized in each country. Based on the results of this study, directions for improving noticing skills were suggested by considering differences in curriculum and teaching methods by country.

Fuzzy evaluation model for physical education teaching methods in colleges and universities using artificial intelligence.

The evaluation of Physical Education Teaching Methods in Colleges and Universities faces two main challenges: an excess of evaluating elements and a lack of assessment framework. Hence, the research proposes the multi-feature fuzzy evaluation model based on artificial intelligence to streamline the evaluation process and provide an efficient framework for accessing teaching methods. The framework integrates natural/human language using fuzzy instructions considering three evaluation perspectives, including the management stage, instructors, and students and employs the enhanced cuckoo search optimization algorithm. After the teaching expert has determined each parameter's ratings, they are fed into the improved cuckoo search algorithm and solved using an unbiased function to assess the assessment's final result. It incorporates the students' mobility mechanism and movement vector deconstruction designed based on functional criteria. A system for evaluating the quality of instruction has been developed utilizing the proposed model with enhanced cuckoo search optimization. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm has achieved the highest scores across multiple assessment categories, average skill performances of 97.01%, learning progress of 87.36%, physical fitness of 93.49%, participation rate of 95.04%, student satisfaction of 95.49%, and physical education of 96.8% teaching efficiency. The usefulness of the proposed framework in enhancing physical education teaching methods has been demonstrated by comparing the results with traditional methods. It contributes to advancing pedagogical practices in the field.
