Investigating why students in Nigeria perceive education as a scam

Despite the outstanding benefits of education to the individual and society, some students in Nigeria are saying education/schooling is a scam. No study has been undertaken to determine why students say education/school is a scam. This study aims to provide empirical evidence on the meaning of the slogan ‘education/school is a scam’, why the students are using the slogan and the way out. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from students in public schools/institutions in two states in Nigeria. The findings show that the slogan means that uneducated people are doing better financially, and many graduates are unemployed. They also show that the students are unsatisfied with the Nigerian educational system. Poor societal values, unemployment, and poor curriculum were reasons the students gave for using the slogan. They suggested that government should provide work for graduates and that the curriculum should be more practically oriented toward skills acquisition. The implications of this study’s findings include an update of existing theories on the factors that influence students’ attitudes and beliefs about education and the need to tailor education policy, teaching methods and curriculum to meet the needs of students. This study provides empirical evidence for the slogan ‘education/school is a scam’. Further studies are needed to confirm this empirical evidence in other states in Nigeria using in-depth interviews.

Gamified Learning in Dermatology and Dermoscopy Education: A Paradigm Shift.

Teaching methods in medical education have been changing. More recent teaching modalities go beyond the traditional delivery of knowledge, promoting learning motivation and improving teaching and learning outcomes. For example, "gamification" and "serious games" are methodologies that use the principles of games to facilitate learning processes and the acquisition of skills and knowledge, thereby improving the attitude towards learning when compared to traditional teaching methods. Since dermatology is a visual field, images are a key component of different teaching strategies. Likewise, dermoscopy, a non-invasive diagnostic technique that allows the visualization of structures within the epidermis and upper dermis, also uses images and pattern recognition strategies. Although a series of Apps using game-based strategy have been created to teach and facilitate dermoscopy learning, studies are required to demonstrate their effectiveness. In this review, we summarize the current literature. This review summarizes the current evidence of game-based learning strategies in medical education, including dermatology and dermoscopy.

“Classes beyond the walls” – A reexploring method of teaching in ayurveda education over conventional approach

BackgroundGurukula system of Ayurveda education is a complete comprehensive approach. Institutionalization of this traditional system of education has its own limitations. Though the Ayurveda education is been institutionalized, some part of it deliberately needs to be learnt in real platform, in an integrated way to make learning process more engaging and relevant. Conventional method of teaching (CMT) has its own limitations and adoption of innovative methods is need of the hour.

Model of intention and actual use mobile learning in higher education institutions in Iraq

Mobile learning (ML) is now involved in the creation of teaching and learning methods for higher education. However, this involvement is varied among countries. The objective of this research was to examine the factors that impact students' intentions to use ML in Iraqi higher education institutions (HEIs). Building on unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and information system success model (ISSM), a conceptual model was developed. The population of this study are users in Iraqi univeristies. Using a stratified random sampling, a total of 323 responses were collected to examine the proposed hypotheses. The findings showed that variables of UTAUT such as effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), performance expectancy (PE), facilitating conditions (FC) as well as variables of ISSM such as satisfaction along with perceived enjoyment and self efficacy affected positively the intention to use ML (ITUML) which in turn affected actual use (AU). Gender and experience moderated the effect of PE, EE, and SI on ITUML. A model of ITUML among users in Iraqi HEI was developed. Decision makers are advised to focus on certain variables to enhance the usage of ML in HEI.

International Research Review and Teaching Improvement Measures of College Students’ Learning Psychology under the Background of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on college education. College students have faced great difficulties in terms of learning and living during the lockdown period, which has brought many negative psychological effects. To explore the psychological states of college students learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and the reasons for these states, this study used CiteSpace to analyze 105 articles on WoS about college students’ learning psychology, and the results of this analysis were combined with an interpretation of the literature to summarize the research hotspots, development trends, learning psychology types, and reasons in this field. The main findings were as follows: (1) During the COVID-19 pandemic, the psychological state of learning college students mainly included academic burnout, learning anxiety, and learning pressure. (2) Academic burnout was affected by perceived usefulness and self-control and was manifested as not accepting online teaching and truancy. (3) Learning anxiety was affected by emotional support factors and was manifested as loneliness, anxiety about lockdown management, and fear of infection. (4) Learning pressure was affected by perceived ease-of-use, environmental support, and self-efficacy and was manifested by difficulties completing online learning tasks, academic performance, and future career uncertainty. Given the above findings, this study proposes corresponding teaching improvement measures from the perspective of the sustainability of the teaching methods of teachers and students’ continuous learning, providing teaching references for schools and teachers, and psychological support for students.

PurposeThe purpose of the research is to substantiate the possibilities of the development of ecological design in the process of future designers professional training and the implementation of student projects in practice.Design/methodology/approachThis article offers one of the possible ways to solve the problem of rational use of wastes of natural resources in the projects of design students. In Ukraine, the ecological direction acquires national features and many Ukrainian manufacturers associate this mainly with ecologically clean materials: this is most typical for furniture products and traditional construction made of wood. The proposed technique is an effective tool for analyzing the interaction of environmental and design disciplines at different levels, as well as an effective criterion for evaluating methods of structuring educational material. The introduction of the correlation index makes assessing the effectiveness of the application of environmental knowledge in design possible.FindingsThe analysis of the world ecological design experience makes presenting the Ukrainian experience of environmental design possible, the origins of which date back to the 1920s of the 20th century. In terms of the purpose and methods of education, the authors consider art and industrial schools to be the primary basis of design education in Ukraine. In the 1990s of the 20th century, on the material and technical bases, educational-methodical and staffing with experienced teachers that design departments are formed, which train and graduate certified designers in various specializations. The need for readiness to solve the tasks of environmental education of future designers in the context of end-to-end environmental training is an urgent problem. Relying on ecological concepts makes optimally structuring the educational material possible, taking into account the requirements for both environmental and professional training.Research limitations/implicationsStudies have established that the application of the authors' method of continuous environmental education has a positive effect on the assimilation of environmental knowledge and method's use in professional theory. Increasing the rates of assimilation and application of environmental knowledge by students has a positive effect on the interaction of environmental and professional knowledge.Practical implicationsThe practical significance of the project consists in the implementation of the development of design projects on specific topics, including competitive, diploma and master's theses. The presented examples of designer shaping from wastes are expressive examples to follow in educational design, important for the development of students' creative and ecological thinking. The methodology is tested in several institutions of higher education in Ukraine, and the authors hope that this can spread in other countries, in particular in the training of designers specializing in “Furniture Design.”Social implicationsEcodesign is gradually being established in the general structure of design theory and, accordingly, has the right to an independent role in the formation of new principles of shaping the spatial and object environment of human life.Originality/valueNew approaches require new educational standards, curricula and teaching methods, directed in particular to the development of a systemic interdisciplinary approach.

A Seven-Step Technique on PowerPoint Slide Preparation for Anatomy Lectures: A Cognitive Load Theory Approach

Lecturing remains a main teaching method in anatomy education, despite being argued as ineffective in promoting understanding and higher-order cognitive skills. Designing and preparing anatomy lecture slides is a challenging task, as anatomy is a content-driven subject that involves complex threedimensional diagrams. Overly wordy, overcrowded slides and poor organisation of text and pictorial materials are among the problems related to anatomy lecture slide preparation. These unorganised and problematic slides impose a high cognitive load on students and thus hinder learning. Hence, this paper elaborates on the strategies for lecture slide preparation that were formerly mentioned by the authors in a lecturing guideline known as the cognitive load theory lecture model. The strategies were organised into seven steps: (a) step 1: select plain background slides; (b) step 2: use headings and subheadings; (c) step 3: use visual cues and signals; (d) step 4: select a proper font type and size; (e) step 5: use text treatment; (f) step 6: choose a suitable colour scheme; and (g) step 7: synchronise all sub-elements. This paper also provides tested examples for each step to facilitate comprehension of the lecture content while applying the strategies.
