DEAR: DEtecting Ambiguous Requirements as a Way to Develop Skills in Requirement Specifications

To improve requirement specification skills, it is vital to detect ambiguous requirements in order to correct them later. Thus, to help software engineering students improve their capacity to identify ambiguous user requirements (requirements that do not use technical words) while providing them with a valuable and engaging educational experience, the current study proposes a serious game called DEAR. It consists of a didactic exercise in which participants must move different requirements left or right to indicate whether they are ambiguous or unambiguous. To assess the improvement in students’ abilities in requirement specification and perceptions about the training class when using the DEAR game, we conducted an experiment with 62 participants, splitting them into two groups: one that used the DEAR game and the other that underwent a conventional training session. It was found that, during the training sessions, both groups became more adept at identifying unambiguous user requirements, but there was no discernible difference in performance between them. However, the game group expressed a stronger preference for the training session’s engagement and quality, as well as a stronger sense of having learned how to clearly define user requirements. Overall, the experiment shows that the suggested serious game DEAR may be a helpful teaching tool that yields learning outcomes comparable to those of a chalkboard class while encouraging students to identify unambiguous user requirements in an interactive manner.

Foreign language teaching modes and adaptive methods in emergency education: Evaluation of first-hand experience

Turbulent world events require crisis-sensitive education models that can address new challenges and promote productive learning in extraordinary times. The research aimed to analyze the issue of teaching a foreign language to undergraduate students using intervention techniques in online and offline modes. The researchers suggested the following responsive and adaptive strategies: the creation of adaptive online learning platforms, the development of a multimedia resources bank and the careful selection of innovative teaching tools capable of addressing both psychological and educational needs. The work in groups of both formats was studied through discussion and survey from the point of view of teachers’ perceptions of positive and negative features, difficulties revealed in the education in emergencies, and the productivity of using specially designed adaptive teaching techniques for coping with them. The findings show that in most aspects teachers have a more positive assessment of ‘live’ language teaching in comparison with the online format. They indicate such benefits as more coordinated work, a collaborative and engaging environment, controllability, and greater motivation. The most effective tools used for developing vocabulary, listening skills, reading skills, and speaking skills were revealed. The final testing results in both online and offline groups were analyzed to study the effectiveness of the employed intervention methods. The study demonstrates that the rigorous instructional design is of vital importance for education in an emergency. Special attention should be given to specific adaptive and responsive intervention technologies aimed at interaction and communication enhancement as well as psychological support of students, the choice of which can be determined by the distinctive features of different teaching formats.

Using the generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots of Perplexity and ChatGPT as a teaching and learning tool for practice teachers and students within social work placement

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines or computer systems. As large language generated pretrained transformers, when given a prompt the chatbot system rewards the user with a ‘human-like’ response from their massive dataset of information. Their velocity, scope and capabilities become immense. This article is an illustrative analysis focusing on the rise of AI and its applications within industry, health and in particular, social work placement. The suggestion is to encourage practice teachers and students within supervision to use the chatbots ChatGPT or Perplexity in order to enhance critical thinking. To further consider the areas such as language, power, intuition, confidentiality, ethics, values and beliefs in this brave new world. Limitations of chatbot use within supervision is explored and a balanced conclusion recognising the worth of social work as a profession but not denying the speed of artificial intelligence development is recognised. From a social work placement perspective this article considers how working from a new evidence base, the application of critically analysing digitally produced knowledge, can be a relevant teaching tool within placement supervision.

Infant Suck Strength Exam: Introduction of an Accessible Clinical Technique for Measuring Infant Suck at the Breast.

One of the core skills required in lactation support is understanding and correcting ineffective or painful breastfeeding. The behavior being corrected, however, occurs inside the infant's mouth, making it difficult to see and assess. When providing care in the field, we use standardized tools and digital suck exams. In research, instruments have been developed to measure infant suck strength with a pacifier, bottle, or at the breast using ultrasound. The aim of this article is to introduce a simple manual clinical technique to identify areas of weakness in an infant's suck and describe one treatment option that can be used to reduce weakness in the identified area. During the Infant Suck Strength Exam, the lactation support provider places a finger on the breast 2 to 4 cm from the edge of the infant's mouth at the upper and lower lip and then at both corners of the mouth, testing the strength of the suck in each of these four areas. To address any specific areas of weakness, the nursing parent can be taught to apply light skin traction back toward the chest wall at the affected area. This engages the suckling reflex and amplifies the strength of the infant's suck in that particular area. The traction applied should not indent the breast but rather just pull back on the skin. It should be applied with enough strength to challenge the infant without pulling the breast out. This is a teaching tool, and is typically only needed for a few weeks before the infant improves their nursing habits.

IntroductionIn 2014 the National Health Service (NHS) in England released the Five Year Forward plan1, envisioning a shift in power from health professionals to patients and the public. In response the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) produced the “Patient, Public and Practitioner Partnership within Imaging and Radiotherapy: Guiding Principles” (P4) document which was implemented within four domains of radiography practice; service delivery, service development, education and research2. This project explored how these guidelines were implemented; and whether improvement to the quality and scope were needed, leading to making recommendations for updating the document. MethodsA mixed methods design was adopted with two phases. Phase 1 – a survey exploring use of the P4 document’s guiding principles. There was no maximum number of participants to ensure inclusivity. Phase 2 - one focus group and four one-to-one interviews from the four domains3. Results626 participants completed the phase 1 survey. 18.85% (n=118) of participants were aware of the document and used it as a reference tool for practice, teaching, and research. 81.15% (n=508) of participants stated they were unaware of the document. Themes from phase 2; importance of service user involvement in service delivery and evaluation, resources to ensure service user involvement, suggestions to update the P4 document and use of the P4 document in radiographer education.Participants acknowledged guidance in the document was best practice. They reported more awareness of patients’ needs and the effect this has on radiographers in supporting their needs. ConclusionParticipants recommended the document be given greater visibility. The voices of patients and the public must be heard within radiography practice. Implications for practiceFeedback from this study can be used for the future development of the P4 document.

Infection preventionists’ current and preferred training strategies and tools

Educating healthcare staff on infection prevention and control (IPC) is an essential role of infection preventionists (IPs), but the COVID-19 pandemic diverted resources away from IPC education. Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology members were invited to complete an online survey from spring 2023 to assess current and preferred approaches and tools for training healthcare personnel on IPC. Vendors, retirees, APIC staff, or those not working in healthcare or public health were excluded. In all, 2,432 IPs participated. IPs were more likely to report engaging in impromptu healthcare worker training (ie, just-in-time teaching and team huddles) versus planned educational activities (ie, learning modules, formal presentations, train-the-trainer, or simulation; Kruskal-Wallis=288, P<.001). IPs' top preferred teaching methodologies included simulation or interactive activity, and their lowest preferred approach was independent learning modules. IPC training apps were frequently requested technology. IPs ranked simulation as their top preferred teaching method; however, simulation was one of the least frequently used approaches. IP education should include strategies for delivering effective impromptu training and how to develop and implement interactive simulation-based education. The expressed needs and preferences of IPs should be considered when developing IPC-related teaching and training tools.
