The Relationship between Job-Finding Anxiety and Academic Engagement: A Study on Undergraduate Students In Faculty of Sports Sciences

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the job-finding anxiety and the academic engagement of undergraduate students studying in the field of sports sciences. The “Scale of Job Finding Anxiety of Sports Science Students” developed by Aslan and Ugras (2021) and the “Academic Engagement Scale” developed by Kızılkaya and Dogan (2022) were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that the job-finding anxiety had a significant and negative effect on academic engagement (p<0.01). According to these results, it is revealed that it is necessary to take measures to reduce the job-finding anxiety and to develop education policies so that students can have a more productive education process with high academic engagement.

The Effect of Using Blended Learning on Achievement among the Students of Child Computerized Programs Courses in the Faculty of Educational Sciences at The University of Jordan

This study aimed to investigate the effect of using blended learning on achievement among the students of child computerized programs courses in the faculty of educational sciences at the University of Jordan. The study followed the quasi-experimental approach. Twenty seven students were intentionally chosen from the students of child computerized programs courses in the school of educational sciences at the University of Jordan to form the members of the study during the first semester of the academic year 2020/2021.The students were divided randomly into two control and experimental groups: the control group studied using the usual method and the number of its members was (13) students. The experimental group studied using blended learning and its number was (14) students.
 To achieve the objectives of the study, an achievement test consisting of (16) items was applied, indications of validity and reliability were extracted. In order to answer the research question, means, standard deviations, the accompanying variance analysis, and t-test for two independent samples were conducted. The results of the study show that there were statistically significant differences between the arithmatic means of the performance of the experimental group students and the arithmatic means of the performance of the control group students in the post-achievement test due to the teaching method and in favor of the experimental group students. In light of the findings, the researchers recommend using a blended learning as a teaching method for undergraduate students in faculty of educational sciences at the University of Jordan.

Developing Interprofessional Learning Package for Undergraduate Students in Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC)

Introduction : In Malaysia, the concept of Interprofessional Learning is not yet established, however it has begun to develop over the past few years. Methods: Three scenarios were developed for undergraduate students from medicine, nursing and emergency medicine; Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and trauma. The IPLP adopted scenario - based learning and hybrid simulation; mannequin and simulated patient which focused on patient management. Each session employed experiential, interactive and contextualized sessions. The created learning sessions required the students to work in a small interprofessional team. The IPLP was validated by a panel of experts. Results: Content analyses were carried out for analysing the strategies that were performed during the development process. Focused group discussion showed that nursing students had positive views towards interprofessional learning. Document analysis on the curriculum showed that there were loopholes where the programmes needed to improve. Literature review gave an idea on the creating of the scenario and panel experts’ input was also important as it reflected the created scenarios which were common sense and logically designed. Conclusion: This study managed to developed the IPL package with simulation and scenario approached which can encourage students to learn with, from and about other programmes as well as managing a patient as a team.

The Effect of Diversity Climate Perception on Alienation of Students to University

The aim of this research is to examine the effect of diversity climate perception on alienation of students to university. The research was carried out with relational survey model. 333 undergraduate students in Faculty of Education, Medical, and Faculty of Theology of Dicle University constituted the participant group. Research data were collected in Turkey with ‘diversity climate’ and ‘alienation’ scales. Data were analyzed by setting up structural equation modeling. It has been seen that goodness of fit indexes of set model are among the range standard value (ϰ 2 =470,233; df= 205; p=.000; ϰ 2 /df=2,29). In the research, it has been determined that diversity climate perception has affected the alienation of university students negatively and significantly. It was also confirmed that diversity climate perception can be a basis for alienation of students to their university by a significant level. In accordance with these results, it can be concluded that in order to minimize alienation of undergraduates to their university, management bodies of universities can be advised to perform a more tolerant approach to the diversities of their students.
