Impact of activity-based learning on understanding linear and quadratic functions: An evaluation of student performance and satisfaction in a Thai high school

Linear and quadratic functions are crucial topics in math education, and there is a significant focus on using activity-based learning (ABL) to teach these subjects. However, previous research has shown gaps, especially in how this approach affects high school students' learning outcomes. Most studies focus only on test scores and do not consider students' satisfaction or apply these methods to other math topics. This study aimed to assess the impact of ABL on the academic performance and satisfaction of 11th-grade students with linear and quadratic functions. The research was conducted in a Thai public school with 38 participants, using various tools like an ABL curriculum, skills assessments, achievement tests, and a satisfaction survey. The findings clearly showed that ABL improves students' understanding and problem-solving skills in complex math topics like linear and quadratic functions. This study provides solid evidence that ABL is effective in high school math, suggesting it could improve students' overall learning experiences and outcomes.

Filling the gap in competency-based training for medical oncology with supervised online patient counseling: A qualitative study.

9036 Background: The Higher School of Oncology (HSO) is a collaborative US-Russian postgraduate program that improves learning outcomes for young oncologists. Many HSO medical oncology (MO) residents/graduates are also engaged in online supervised patient counseling, known as ‘Just Ask.’ We aimed to explore the educational role of ‘Just Ask’ in shaping the competency-based learning outcomes of MO graduates, who have recently begun independent clinical practice. Methods: This qualitative study included 10 HSO alumni (2019-2023) who practice MO in Russia. All participants were current or prior ‘Just Ask’ consultants. Anonymous, online semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted to explore interviewees reflection on competencies obtained at HSO and ‘Just Ask.’ The interview guide included 42 open-ended questions based on the American Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) list of competencies for MO physicians. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. Inductive-deductive coding with code categorization was followed by thematic analysis. Themes were mapped against the ACGME competencies. Results: Interviews, with a median duration of 69 (IQR: 54-80) minutes,involved participants with 0.5-3 years of practice. Six (60%) interviewees worked in hospitals, while 2 (20%) were in outpatient and another 2 (20%) were in mixed settings. We identified 85 codes and categorized them into 10 educational experience themes. Interviewees attributed learning an evidence-based approach, basic oncology knowledge, and patient communication skills through the HSO curriculum. Themes associated with learning from online counseling included integration into real-world practice, specific types of expertise (rare tumors), and advanced communication (explaining differences in management, written communication), which are less covered by HSO. This activity enhanced skills in patient navigation, advocacy, and the ability to detect care not supported by evidence. Safe-space learning provided by ‘Just Ask’ was a unique theme reflecting the ability of trainees to hone skills in a secure and resource-enriched environment with easy access to mentoring. The association of the selected 'Just Ask'-related themes with ACGME competencies is presented in the table. Conclusions: Supervised online counseling has emerged as a valuable educational tool aimed at supplementing competencies insufficiently covered by medical oncology postgraduate curriculum.

Expanding the Global Capacity for Childhood Cancer Registration: The ChildGICR Masterclass.

One determinant of the paucity of data on childhood cancer in low- and middle-income countries is the lack of capacity to register these cases. Combining expertise of the Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR) and St Jude Global, we developed a ChildGICR educational program to promote data production. We first conducted a needs assessment to identify priority educational topics. Then, we designed the ChildGICR Masterclass, in which individuals with the potential to lead pediatric cancer registration were supported to prepare standard educational material. The outcomes were evaluated using qualitative and quantitative measures. On the basis of indications by 38 GICR collaborators, we identified seven topics relevant to childhood cancer: burden description, registration principles, tumor classification, tumor staging, data quality control, data analysis, and data use. The ChildGICR Masterclass was held online in 2021 over 12 weeks. The 22 nominated participants created presentations in working groups and during live sessions. They also designed future training courses tailored to the needs of their region. Nineteen participants viewed the course experience as excellent, and 20 would continue engagement in the ChildGICR training activities. The developed material was 89% useful according to the faculty of the three online end courses, taught to 88 participants in 16 countries in 2022 and 2023. Among the 75 responding participants, 72 agreed that the learning objectives were attained and 60 were keen to engage in childhood cancer registration activities. The ChildGICR Masterclass participants laid the foundation for a network of trainers. Knowledge dissemination in childhood cancer registration is the first necessary step toward evidence-based cancer control. The ChildGICR Masterclass can serve as a model to design, plan, and implement educational programs for health care professionals.

Education Experts : Agents of Contemporary Educational Discourse?

Abstract More and more experts from the social sciences are appearing in the media to provide expert opinions on media coverage of events and social issues. However, with regard to the conditions under which media content is produced, a growing number of voices have been pointing to the fact that quasi-experts with a media interest tend to speak more in the media than scientifically trained scholars. This article conducts an analysis of media outputs to examine whether this criticism is relevant to the field of education in the Czech media landscape, and the analysis shows that in almost half of cases the so-called “education experts” commenting on education in the media were quasi-experts – people to whom the authority and status to speak on education is attributed by the media – rather than scholarly experts. The analysis results in a classification of experts on education speaking in the Czech media – they usually choose similar rhetoric and accentuate only selected educational topics.

Teachers’ attitudes towards the implementation and involvement in GREEN activities at pre-school level

Abstract Pre-school education is a crucial time in the formation of children’s individual personalities and values. In the context of growing concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability, integrating GREEN education into the pre-school system is becoming an essential choice for preparing new generations for global environmental challenges. In this sense, the proposed research focuses on teachers’ attitudes towards the implementation and involvement in GREEN activities at pre-school level. A key aspect of this research is to identify the underlying motivations behind the adoption of GREEN education in pre-school settings. Exploring these reasons will shed light not only on the theoretical and normative aspects that support the need for GREEN education, but also on the practical aspects related to the benefits observed in children’s development in terms of environmental awareness, social responsibility and the formation of sustainable behaviours.The research will also focus on the level of teachers’ interest in the application of GREEN education in the preschool learning process. Assessing this aspect will contribute to understanding the degree of teachers’ receptiveness and willingness to integrate specific GREEN education themes and activities into the curriculum.The research will also explore ways of implementing GREEN education in the pre-school environment, highlighting effective practices and obstacles encountered by teachers in the process. This approach will provide useful information for the development of educational strategies and resources to facilitate the effective integration of GREEN themes into pre-school curricula. Through this research, we will also investigate the level of knowledge teachers’ knowledge about GREEN education, identifying possible gaps in their professional training in this field. The results will provide essential information for the development of in-service training programmes to support teachers in improving their skills in GREEN education. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to bring attention to teachers’ attitudes towards implementing and engaging in GREEN activities at pre-school level, providing relevant and practical data for improving the quality of pre-school education and training future generations in sustainability.

The Appeal to Nature in Cicero's De finibus

When Cicero examines the varied versions of cradle arguments that appear in De finibus, he finds much to criticize. Though he rejects these attempts to discern our proper ethical ends from the earliest inclinations of newborn animals, he nevertheless accepts that human beings should adopt ends for themselves that are consistent with, and perfections of, human nature. I argue that Cicero uses two connected argumentative strategies to create an appeal to nature that overcomes some basic problems he has with the cradle arguments used in Epicureanism, Stoicism, and the Old Academy. The first strategy criticizes the different cradle arguments directly, by which Cicero establishes two negative criteria for any appeal to nature. These criteria indicate what to avoid in arguing for a highest moral end or summum bonum. These criteria eliminate the Epicurean and Stoic cradle arguments, and more subtly criticizes the Antiochian one. As a result, it may seem plausible that Cicero either adopts the Antiochian position himself or that he at least considers it to be a strong position that is worthy of further consideration, particularly in contrast with his categorical rejection of the other schools. Cicero’s second strategy, however, leads us away from accepting any established cradle argument, including the Antiochian one. This strategy develops a rich theme of education over the course of the text and emphasizes an appeal to the telic sense of “nature” that ultimately meets the two criteria set out by his first strategy. He does not seek ethical direction in some biological origin and given nature as cradle arguments do. Cicero appeals instead to human nature and its summum bonum as it appears during philosophical education. Though he finds cradle arguments rely too much on given nature and too little on telic nature, Cicero’s own own emphasis on education and telic nature amounts to a new appeal to “nature” that, in avoiding the “cradle”, is more sound than those of his philosophical rivals.

Racism, identity, and education: Bhaskar's report on the PhD thesis ‘Strong and Smart’ by Chris Sarra

ABSTRACT In 2005, Ram Roy Bhaskar was the examiner for a PhD thesis by Dr. Chris Sarra entitled Strong and Smart: Reinforcing Aboriginal Perceptions of Being Aboriginal at Cherbourg State School. Bhaskar described the thesis as ‘an exemplary paradigm of how research should be conducted’ and suggested that it would be ‘invaluable for all future studies of indigenous people in Australia and indeed to educationalists and social theorists throughout the world’. With thanks to Chris Sarra, we are delighted to be able to publish this examiner's report, which illustrates educational themes in Bhaskar's work and provides Bhaskar's response to Sarra's critique of his idea that there is a ‘common core humanity’. In its practical consideration of the question of human identity – a question currently much debated – this report is an excellent and timely complement to Bhaskar’s (2020) article Critical Realism and the Ontology of Persons. It also showcases Bhaskar's concepts of Power1/Power2 and concrete universality/singularity. We hope that publishing this report will draw attention to Sarra's exceptional work which, according to Bhaskar, ‘may well come to take on the role of a paradigm for multi-ethnic and similarly divided and contested communities’.

The educational resources and needs of mothers of preschool children from two socioeconomic levels

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the educational resources and needs of mothers of children aged 60 to 72 months and the differences between those of high and low socioeconomic status (SES).BackgroundParents have a crucial impact on their children's development in the preschool years. Mothers are especially challenged by the variety of information sources available and struggle with parenting decisions.MethodThirty‐three structured interviews with mothers were carried out in one private and one public school, representing high and low SES, respectively.FindingsBetween the two SES groups, both similarities and differences were observed in terms of their educational resources and needs. The following themes emerged in the study: general sources of parenting information, challenges, the first source to consult when problems occur, topics preferred in a parent education program, and the phase of maternity in which they preferred to receive training. The two SES groups were similar in terms of their main challenges, the topics preferred in a parent education program, and the phase of maternity in which they preferred to receive education. Differences were observed in terms of the sources of parenting information, the first source to consult when problems occur, and some of the preferred topics of a parent education program.ImplicationsThese findings may be useful in revisiting existing parent education programs, or in creating new ones, for the caregivers of preschool children.

Education in Health Informatics: Perspectives from the Italian Society for Biomedical Informatics (SIBIM).

The evolution of socio-technological habits together with the widespread demand of post-acute and chronic treatments outside hospital boundaries drove the increased demand of medical informatics experts to develop tools for and support healthcare professionals. The recent COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the need of physicians able to manage diseases virtually and remotely. Moreover, healthcare professionals need to access to innovative techniques and procedures to manage biomedical data, cloud-based communication, and data sharing procedures, often connected to innovative devices to support an effective precision in the health treatments. In this paper we report the experiences of the Italian Biomedical Informatics Society (SIBIM), in the definition and promotion of eHealth educational topics in medical and health professions teaching programs, as well as in bioengineering schools, showing how SIBIM members' efforts have been applied towards increasing the level of eHealth contents in medical schools.

Developing a Scale for Measuring Attitudes of Secondary School Teachers toward Sex Education

Pre-service training and attitudinal background both are important to teach ‘sex education’ well in classroom. But lack of proper instruments to determine teachers’ attitudes toward sex education in Bangladesh paved way for the researcher to develop such scale. To develop the scale, initially 58 items were formulated using the deductive approach based on the five-point Likert’s scale method, of which 41 retained after a tryout and 36 items for the finalized scale. By using the convenience sampling method a pool of 130 samples was selected for the final data collection. After rigorous analyses, the scale’s average item-total correlation and Chronbach’s Alpha values were calculated as 0.465 and 0.773 respectively, which ensured its reliability. The items were developed as such they cover most topics of sex education in perspective of Bangladesh, thus establishing content validity. Finally, the Stanine scores or grades, ranging from 1 to 9, were calculated and assigned to the raw scores that were obtained by the samples, to interpret the findings in an understandable way. Based on the Stanine scores, the secondary teachers’ attitudes toward sex education were categorized in five categories as ‘very negative’, ‘negative’, ‘moderate’, ‘positive’ and ‘very positive’.

Inclusive democratic education: a question of social discrimination and inaccessible pedagogical training

This paper is dedicated to trying to reestablish a literature review on the issue of human rights with disabilities through social theory in inclusive democratic education, taking as a reference the main scenarios in the 21st century to carry out the restructuring related to the proposal on the constitutional bases of policy for school education (special, public, private and mixed school) and higher education (university and professional institute), especially non-discrimination and inaccessibility of teaching and non-teaching trainers with disabilities. This aim is to know and redesign the new characteristics to discuss human values and to guarantee explicit access —remove barriers— through legal and social system implementation, depending on the awareness of inclusive democracy in general education. Rather, of the social ethics of human rights in different perspectives (advantage and disadvantage) in the liberal interpretation and educational multicultural democratization. In addition, there is a comparison in the educational system related to inclusive democracy and accessible vocational training, including with the constitutional bases of policy. And consequently, the new features on vocational training with disabilities through inclusive education and human rights topics. Finally, there is no broad recognition to support and legitimize the defense of the rights to job accessibility in different professional fields, both public and private institutions for all-inclusive teachers and non-teachers, including professional women with disabilities.

Predictors and Implications of Parents’ Beliefs About the Age Appropriateness of LGBTQ+ Topics for Children

U.S. policies increasingly limit lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or another marginalized gender identity or sexual orientation (LGBTQ +) education topics for children under the guise of age-appropriate curriculum, placing the responsibility of educating children about LGBTQ + identities and experiences on parents. We examined parents’ beliefs about the age-appropriateness of LGBTQ + topics for children, with implications for parent–child conversations and support for restricted LGBTQ + curriculum. In two studies, LGBTQ + and cisgender-heterosexual parents’ (N = 837) belief that LGBTQ + topics are age-appropriate for children at an older age was related to fewer parent–child conversations about LGBTQ + topics and greater anticipated discomfort having such conversations (Studies 1 and 2). Counter to hypotheses, exposure to restrictive LGBTQ + education policies did not affect age-appropriateness beliefs (Studies 1 and 2). In line with hypotheses, parents’ belief that sexual orientation discussion should be minimized was associated with later age-appropriateness beliefs and greater support for restricting LGBTQ + curriculum (cisgender-heterosexual parents; Study 2). These studies highlight age-appropriateness beliefs as a key mechanism hindering critical parent–child LGBTQ + conversations.

Which Educational Topics and Smartphone App Functions Are Prioritized by US Patients With Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases? A Mixed-Methods Study.

We sought to identify (1) what types of information US adults with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) perceive as most important to know about their disease, and (2) what functions they would use in an RMD-specific smartphone app. Nominal groups with patients with RMD were conducted using online tools to generate a list of needed educational topics. Based on nominal group results, a survey with final educational items was administered online, along with questions about desired functions of a smartphone app for RMD and wearable use, to patients within a large community rheumatology practice-based research network and the PatientSpot registry. Chi-square tests and multivariate regression models were used to determine differences in priorities between groups of respondents with rheumatic inflammatory conditions (RICs) and osteoarthritis (OA), and possible associations. At least 80% of respondents considered finding a rheumatologist, understanding tests and medications, and quickly recognizing and communicating symptoms to doctors as extremely important educational topics. The highest-ranked topic for both RIC and OA groups was "knowing when the medication is not working." The app functions that most respondents considered useful were viewing laboratory results, recording symptoms to share with their rheumatology provider, and recording symptoms (eg, pain, fatigue) or disease flares for health tracking over time. Approximately one-third of respondents owned and regularly used a wearable activity tracker. People with RMD prioritized information about laboratory test results, medications, and disease and symptom monitoring, which can be used to create educational and digital tools that support patients during their disease journey.

“Building Learning Power” (BLP) to Senior High School Students Towards Enhanced Learning Program

"Lifelong learning" is a global education theme. For a long time, the all-round development of students has been the focus of the global education system. How to enable students to achieve all-round development is the key to school talent training. It not only focuses on students' test scores, but also pays more attention to Students' ability to self-study and enjoy learning has become a theme of educational discussion in various countries. Based on Guy Claxton's "Building Learning Power" (BLP) theoretical basis, this article explores the correlation between teachers' teaching ability construction and students' learning ability development. It takes middle school teachers as the research object and selects all teachers from Guidian Middle School to use a questionnaire. Survey and data analysis are the main methods to study how teachers cultivate the four “R”s of BLP, resilience, resourcefulness, reflectiveness, and reciprocity in their students. First, the relevant literature, concepts and structural dimensions were reviewed, and teachers' classroom teaching variables were explained, including Lessons' content, "Soft creativity", Enhancing skills and Attitude development, and a theoretical analysis was conducted on students' practical abilities, namely the "4 R's". Secondly, based on literature research, relevant scales were proposed and revised to collect the data needed for this study. The tool used for the main research content is a questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of three parts. The first part contains the personal information of the interviewed teachers, such as gender, age, teaching experience, etc. The second part is the correlation between teachers’ classroom teaching practices and building learning abilities. Assessment, the third part is the assessment of the interviewed teachers’ understanding of building learning abilities. This study used SPSS22.0 to develop the questionnaire, and adopted reliability and validity analysis, correlation analysis, independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U /Kruskal-Wallis test. Spearman’s rho Correlation Analysis and Decision Criteria. Finally, based on the "Building Learning Power" (BLP) theory, the influencing factors of teachers' classroom teaching practices on the development of students' learning abilities are discussed and summarized, and corresponding development strategies are proposed.

Feasibility of teaching and assessing medical students in the metaverse: design and features for its learning efficiency

The metaverse is known as the hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, connected, universal and immersive virtual world that can be accessed via immersive technology devices. One approach to this concept can be achieved through the use of multi-user immersive virtual reality applications.Immersive virtual reality (IVR), which uses gadgets that allow the user to visualize and interact in an enveloping way, is a very attractive technology for teaching purposes. There are many references in the scientific literature about its use for this purpose, including encouraging results in the field of medicine. However, there have not been enough studies assessing how much this type of technology really contributes to learning medicine.This work investigates the feasibility of using the metaverse as an educational tool in medicine. We propose a multi-user immersive virtual reality application for implementing a scene of the metaverse in which medical students are taught. Our work considers that in order to ensure this type of technology is useful in the education of medical students, the technology itself (multi-user IVR) must be designed and implemented for a medical student profile. They usually spend too much time for adapting themselves to use and manage this kind of technology when they are exposed to it for learning. The technology should not be a barrier to acquiring, or disseminating the academic contents themselves. It should act as a catalyst that enhances the speed and capacity for learning medical educational topics. Thus, we present design and user experience specifications that we implemented in an anatomical dissection room in the metaverse, and with which we conducted experiments with 114 sixth-grade medical students. Our results indicate that, based on the design and user experience characteristics that we propose in this paper, the metaverse can indeed serve as a useful and effective educational resource whose technological complexity is no barrier to medical teaching.

Cost identification in health professions education: A scoping review.

Resource scarcity in health professions education (HPE) demands rigorous consideration of costs. Yet, thus far, we have been unable to completely and consistently identify the costs of HPE. To address this knowledge gap and enable use of economic evidence in decision making, a detailed overview of all existing costs and approaches to cost identification in HPE is needed. This review summarises the diversity of costs, cost perspectives and cost identification methods used in economic research of HPE to answer the following questions: which educational topics, costs, cost perspectives and cost identification methods are being investigated in HPE literature? This investigation followed the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for scoping reviews. PubMed, ERIC, CINAHL and PsycINFO were iteratively searched for English language publications between 2012 and 2022 that reported costs of HPE. Data was extracted for study characteristics, educational context and economic methodology. A total of 136 articles of original research on the costs of educating all major licence healthcare professionals were included. A diffuse interest in costs is reflected in publications from 93 distinct journals and by the diversity of educational topics and cost types explored. However, the majority of investigations failed to define the cost perspective (86, 63%) and cost identification methods (117, 86%) and did not demonstrate common reporting structure or cost terminology, all of which contribute to persistent inconsistencies in cost identification. The source of disharmonious cost identification in HPE is fuelled by diverse interests and divergent concepts of costs and costing methodology. Left in its current state, disharmonious cost identification will continue to limit transparency, comparison and synthesis of evidence, hamper objectivity in implementation and policy decisions and impede the efficient and sustainable allocation of resources. A research agenda must be developed, prioritised, and validated by the broader community to develop a theoretical framework for HPE cost research, define stakeholders, elicit values and preferences and chart a path toward harmonised costing.

Students' and junior doctors' perspectives on radiology education in medical school: a qualitative study in the Netherlands.

Modern medicine becomes more dependent on radiologic imaging techniques. Over the past decade, radiology has also gained more attention in the medical curricula. However, little is known with regard to students' perspectives on this subject. Therefore, this study aims to gain insight into the thoughts and ideas of medical students and junior doctors on radiology education in medical curricula. A qualitative, descriptive study was carried out at one medical university in the Netherlands. Participants were recruited on social media and were interviewed following a predefined topic list. The constant comparative method was applied in order to include new questions when unexpected topics arose during the interviews. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded. Codes were organized into categories and themes by discussion between researchers. Fifteen participants (nine junior doctors and six students) agreed to join. From the coded interviews, four themes derived from fifteen categories arose: (1) The added value of radiology education in medical curricula, (2) Indispensable knowledge on radiology, (3) Organization of radiology education and (4) Promising educational innovations for the radiology curriculum. This study suggests that medical students and junior doctors value radiology education. It provides insights in educational topics and forms for educational improvement for radiology educators.
