Protocol for a scoping review study on learning plan use in undergraduate medical education

BackgroundThe current paradigm of competency-based medical education and learner-centredness requires learners to take an active role in their training. However, deliberate and planned continual assessment and performance improvement is hindered by the fragmented nature of many medical training programs. Attempts to bridge this continuity gap between supervision and feedback through learner handover have been controversial. Learning plans are an alternate educational tool that helps trainees identify their learning needs and facilitate longitudinal assessment by providing supervisors with a roadmap of their goals. Informed by self-regulated learning theory, learning plans may be the answer to track trainees’ progress along their learning trajectory. The purpose of this study is to summarise the literature regarding learning plan use specifically in undergraduate medical education and explore the student’s role in all stages of learning plan development and implementation.MethodsFollowing Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, a scoping review will be conducted to explore the use of learning plans in undergraduate medical education. Literature searches will be conducted using multiple databases by a librarian with expertise in scoping reviews. Through an iterative process, inclusion and exclusion criteria will be developed and a data extraction form refined. Data will be analysed using quantitative and qualitative content analyses.DiscussionBy summarising the literature on learning plan use in undergraduate medical education, this study aims to better understand how to support self-regulated learning in undergraduate medical education. The results from this project will inform future scholarly work in competency-based medical education at the undergraduate level and have implications for improving feedback and supporting learners at all levels of competence.Scoping review registration:Open Science Framework osf.io/wvzbx.

Teacher candidates as student partners in decoding the disciplines research

This study examines the role of secondary teacher candidates as student partners in research into undergraduate students’ historical cognition while contextualizing documents. It highlights the unique role of teacher candidates as near-peer interviewers and change agents within higher education and secondary curricula. Through using decoding the disciplines methodology to solicit student voice in near-peer interviews, teacher candidates identified areas for curricular change in teaching contextualization in university history courses. The involvement of teacher candidates extended beyond the university classroom and informed their future work in secondary education. Decoding experiences in university courses provided teacher candidates with insights into supporting secondary pupils’ abilities to contextualize historical sources. This research demonstrates the potential of teacher candidates as near-peer interviewers and curricular change agents in secondary and higher education. Collaborative partnerships between teacher candidates and faculty can lead to meaningful curricular changes and effective teaching practices in higher education and secondary education contexts.

The Experiences of Practical Nurse Students in Promoting the Rehabilitation of the Elderly Through Nursing Care and Its Education – A Secondary Publication

The significance of rehabilitation-promoting nursing care is emphasized in aging Finland. According to studies, rehabilitation-promoting nursing care enhances the functional capacity of the elderly. The Elderly Services Act obliges municipalities to create a plan to support the elderly population, emphasizing living at home and rehabilitative measures. A large portion of graduated practical nurses will be working with the elderly, so the education of practical nurses must meet the needs of the workforce. The study aimed to produce new information on the implementation of rehabilitation-promoting nursing care in the elderly services system and on the education of rehabilitation-promoting nursing care for the elderly in vocational institutions. The research data was collected in the fall of 2020 through individual theme interviews with practical nurse students (n = 8). The data was analyzed using inductive content analysis. The experiences of practical nurse students regarding rehabilitation-promoting nursing care for the elderly were related to nurses’ time management, organizational practices, nurses’ competence, nurses’ attitudes, nurses’ methods of operation, organizational development, implementation and development of practical teaching, factors affecting the use of aids, and the technology of aids in the future. In conclusion, it can be stated that the content of education and practical work life do not align. It is essential to increase competence in rehabilitation-promoting nursing care and develop organizational practices.

PSYCHOLOGY OF DEVIANT FORMS OF ECONOMIC PERSONAL BEHAVIOR IN CYBERSPACE

The goal of the research achieved by the author is the analysis of psychological features of deviant forms of economic behavior of an individual in cyberspace. Methodology. To implement the problematic completeness of the research and obtain scientifically based and reliable results and general conclusions, a complex of theoretical methods was used: synthesis, logic and structure of the presentation, analysis and generalization, tools of scientific source studies. Linguistic methodology and the method of cognition were used to study the problematic issues of this work in the unity of their visual and factual perception, social content, legal and terminological form of representation. The systemic-structural approach made it possible to conceptually form, implement the theoretical foundations and model the complexity of the research discourse. Results. It is shown that human crime and delinquency are related to both external factors (interaction with other types of crime, age, gender, material values, influence of peers) and internal factors that mediate criminal tendencies. It was concluded that the specifics of deviant forms of individual economic behavior in cyberspace have not yet been sufficiently studied, and attention is focused on more common types of cyber deviance. Instead, the actual problems are the peculiarities of the formation of economic cyber deviance; the detection of a tendency to this type of behavior; planning correctional and educational psychological work with deviants and victims of economic cybercrimes. An important problem is the difficulty of conducting research taking into account the key feature of cyberspace - anonymity.

Knowledge about Administration and Regulation of High Alert Medication among Nurses in Oncology Department

Background: High alert medications (HAMs) are associated with a higher risk of causing significant patient harm when used in error. Understanding the administration and regulation of these medications within oncology settings is critical due to the complex nature of cancer treatment regimens and the severity of potential medication errors. Objective: To assess the knowledge of nurses regarding the administration and regulation of high alert medications in an oncology department of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 registered nurses in the oncology department of Jinnah Hospital, Lahore. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire designed to evaluate nurses' knowledge of HAMs. Participants included both male (29.3%) and female (70.7%) nurses, with varying educational backgrounds and work experiences. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, focusing on descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Results: The results revealed moderate knowledge levels among nurses with significant gaps in critical areas. Only 20.3% correctly identified the protocol for fast IV push of 1:1000 epinephrine in mild allergic reactions, and 33.8% mistakenly believed that 10% calcium gluconate and 10% calcium chloride were interchangeable. Additionally, 44.4% incorrectly used 'Amp' or 'Vial' for dose expression instead of 'mg' or 'gm', and 53.4% failed to recognize the importance of distinctive labeling on look-alike drugs. Conclusion: The study highlights the need for enhanced educational programs and standardized protocols to improve the safe administration and regulation of HAMs in oncology settings. Strengthening nurses' knowledge and practices regarding HAMs is essential to reduce medication errors and improve patient outcomes.

Research on the Model of Public Physical Teaching in Universities in the Context of Modern Information Technology

With the advent of the information and network era, new opportunities have emerged for the development of educational and teaching work. In the context of public physical teaching in universities, the rational application of modern information technology based on actual development situations plays a significant role. It can enrich teaching methods, improve teaching efficiency, meet students' diverse learning experiences, and ensure the quality and efficiency of teaching. However, due to objective factors, there are still some problems in the actual application process, such as the limited ability of some teachers to use information technology and the lack of investment in teaching resources, which directly limit the advantages of information technology and even affect the final teaching effectiveness, leading to counterproductive effects. Therefore, in the future development, it is necessary to strengthen the information technology training for teachers, improve their application ability and information literacy, so that they can better integrate modern information technology with physical teaching. When conditions permit, increase the investment in information technology, improve infrastructure construction, and provide necessary hardware support for public physical teaching in universities.

The analyzed data includes the workers’ wages, education level, work experience, gender, economic sector they belong to, and regional category. The results of this study suggest that the level of education, work experience, gender, economic sector, and regional category collectively influence the amount of wages received by the workers. Changes in wages can be attributed to the variables of education level, work experience, gender, economic sector, and regional category, accounting for 19.5% of the observed variance. The remaining 80.5% of the variance is attributed to other variables not considered in this study. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the rate of return on education investment is expected to increase in 2022, corresponding with higher levels of education among the workers. Keywords: return on education investment, education, experience, gender, economic sector, region

Empowering Students to Create Climate-Friendly Schools

In Germany, there are over 32,000 schools, representing great potential for climate protection. On the one hand, this applies to educational work, as understanding the effects of climate change and measures to reduce GHG emissions is an important step to empower students with knowledge and skills. On the other hand, school buildings are often in bad condition, energy is wasted, and the possibilities for using renewable energies are hardly used. In our “Schools4Future” project, we enabled students and teachers to draw up their own CO2 balances, identify weaknesses in the building, detect wasted electricity, and determine the potential for using renewable energies. Emissions from the school cafeteria, school trips, and paper consumption could also be identified. The fact that the data can be collected by the students themselves provides increased awareness of the contribution made to the climate balance by the various school areas. The most climate-friendly school emits 297 kg whilst the school with the highest emissions emits over one ton CO2 per student and year. Our approach is suitable to qualify students in the sense of citizen science, carry out a scientific investigation, experience self-efficacy through one’s own actions, and engage politically regarding their concerns.

History of Czech anatomical terminology.

Latin anatomical terminology has been codified since 1895. However, the situation is different for national anatomical terminologies. There are countries that have standardized anatomical terminology in their language, e.g., Poland, Slovenia, Japan, Spain, Hungary, others, such as the Czech Republic or Slovakia, are still lacking their own standardized and official terminology. In the Bohemian Lands, the first terms describing parts of the human body appeared as early as the ninth century in works written in Cyrillic script. The first comprehensive references to Czech anatomical terminology appeared in the fourteenth century. From the Baroque period, anatomical terms were preserved in the educational works of the Teacher of Nations Jan Amos Comenius' Janua linguarum reserata and Orbis sensualium pictus. Many of these terms have remained almost unchanged to this day, but some of them have acquired a pejorative meaning over time. We present here an overview of the history and examples of these terms describing parts of the human body.

Analisis Penempatan dan Penugasan Tenaga Kependidikan di SMP Negeri 18 Surabaya

This study aims to understand the process, strategies, and obstacles related to the placement and assignment of education personnel at SMPN 18 Surabaya. The method used is descriptive qualitative, involving the principal, head of administration as the main source of information, vice principal, and teaching staff as additional sources of information. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results showed that the placement and assignment of educators and education personnel are regulated by the provisions of the Education Office because SMPN 18 Surabaya is a public school under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The placement is carried out by considering the educational background, work experience, attitude, and appearance of prospective education personnel, as well as factors such as rank, domicile, and age. Obstacles in placement include discipline problems and less than optimal utilisation of educational resources. Meanwhile, obstacles in the assignment of education personnel include the low performance of teaching staff, lack of supervision, and the inability to improve educational resources.

Visualization of educational data in a German-language corpus of student texts

Introduction. Digital transformation of education involves the use of digital tools in managing the educational process as a whole and in the learning process in individual disciplines. The specifics of teaching a foreign language require special functionality from digital tools. The purpose of the article is to explore the possibilities of a corpus of student texts in a foreign language for analyzing the results of students’ educational work and forming an adapted learning path within the discipline related to the study of a foreign language. Materials and methods. The material for the study was the Petrozavodsk Annotated Corpus of Texts (PACT), containing written works in German and French written by students from 2019 to 2023. Texts are accompanied by attributive information about the author, writing conditions, evaluation and error corrections. A web application has been developed to work with the corpus. The application includes personal accounts for teachers and students. To analyze the state of the learning process and make subsequent decisions on managing the learning process, the web application contains several tools for visualizing error statistics at different levels of detail with the ability to select texts according to different conditions. Results of the study. As part of the study, patterns were identified that connect the types of errors with the genres of texts, with the severity of the errors, and with the emotional and physiological state of the student. Russian-speaking students studying German as a foreign language make the most mistakes in the choice of lexemes, spelling, punctuation and the place of the verb in a sentence. At the same time, genre differences can be observed to distribute the number of errors by their type. There is an increase in the relative number of gross errors by 1.5 times for senior students compared to the first year. Errors in the choice of lexeme are critical for understanding the content of the text. The severity of the error does not depend on the genre of the text. Conclusion. The results of the study can be used to build corpora of student texts with educational analytics functions in dashboard format. The results obtained can be useful in developing teaching materials for the “Foreign Language” discipline.

ПРОФЕСІЙНА ПІДГОТОВКА ВЧИТЕЛЯ ПОЧАТКОВИХ КЛАСІВ ДО ВИХОВНОЇ РОБОТИ В НОВІЙ УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ ШКОЛИ

The article based on a holistic analysis of the theory and practice of professional education, describes the theoretical and methodological principles of training perspective primary school teachers to manage and implement educational work with primary school pupils in the New Ukrainian School. It has been established that in the context of the modernisation of the system of higher pedagogical education in Ukraine, there are significant shifts in the directions, content, and essence of primary school teacher training. The author proves that in the process of studying professional disciplines by future primary school teachers in a higher pedagogical education institution, there is an effective formation and development of their educational competence (professional thinking, emotional intelligence, creative potential, assimilation of educational values and value orientations, experience of social adaptation and socialisation of a growing personality to the challenges and threats of modern Ukrainian society). The elements of such competence are as follows: the knowledge, skills, and practical abilities, experience in designing effective areas of childhood education, communication skills, and abilities to implement, analyse and predict the effectiveness of pedagogical interaction of all participants in the educational process in primary school based on child-centredness, cooperation, co-creation, formed autonomy and responsibility by developing pedagogical thinking, creative activity, and independent improvement of the level of organisation of the educational process in primary school. The article defines and describes the current leading principles of organising and conducting professional training of perspective primary school teachers in the implementation of the strategy of creating an educational process in primary school. There has been highlighted and defined the essence of the basic requirements concerning the content of professional training of perspective primary school teachers for the organisation of educational work in the New Ukrainian School.

PROSPECTS FOR THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF WEEDS IN ARGENTINA

Argentina hosted pioneering classical weed biological control projects that were carried out by state institutions between the 1970s and 1990s, at a time when the practice was almost unheard of in Latin America. Despite the early development of these initiatives, the discipline did not prosper and all projects were discontinued. Notwithstanding, Argentina continued to provide biological control agents for the control of weeds in many other parts of the world, ensuring the expertise persisted. Although public concern about invasive plants and chemical-dependent agricultural practices has increased over time, it did not lead to a greater acceptance of classical biological control of weeds, which is still regarded with mistrust or ignored in many public and academic circles alike. Furthermore, there are no systems in place to reach a consensus on declaring weeds as targets for biological control in Argentina. In this paper we discuss different ways in which the community of researchers working in the field in Argentina can help relaunch the biological control of weeds, including the preparation of a prioritized list of target species. A list of this kind would not only reduce costs, but also help in developing trust in the discipline of biological control informing regulators and decision makers in this regard. Prospects are brighter today than a few years ago, but considerable communication and educational work on the benefits of this practice is still required to gain more support before it can effectively be re-implemented.

Freestyle wrestling in sections of a school sports club

Introduction. Freestyle wrestling ensures effective development of various physical qualities and abilities in schoolchildren, and is among the most popular sports along with other types of martial arts and games. Freestyle wrestling is an appropriate means of sports-oriented physical education for schoolchildren, since it meets their interests and needs in physical education and sports. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a school sports club in organizing physical education and sports work, taking into account the interest of those involved, on the example of freestyle wrestling. Materials and methods. The pedagogical experiment involved implementing the developed methodology for freestyle wrestling in sections at the school sports club. 30 students from MBEI Secondary School No. 38 in Grozny (Russian Federation) took part in the experiment. Research results. Freestyle wrestling in sections at the school sports club significantly increases physical activity and preparedness of students. The comparative analysis showed a significant improvement in the test scores of the experimental group: 60 m standing-start run with hand support, sec – p < 0.05; 5 successive somersaults, sec – p < 0.05; pull-ups on a bar, number of times – p < 0.05; forward bends from a sitting position, cm – p <0.05; in the test shuttle run 3×10 m, sec – p < 0.05; raising the body into a squat position in 30 sec, number of times – p <0.05; and cross running 2000m, min – p<0.05. Conclusion. The study confirmed the effectiveness of freestyle wrestling in sections at the school sports club. The proposed methodology will significantly increase physical activity, fitness and development of schoolchildren, and its use in the physical education system can be considered appropriate.

Teachers S. A. and K. Ya. Lyugebil and their first kindergarten in Russia

Introduction. The history of the creation of the first preschool institutions in Russia is of interest to modern Russian historical and pedagogical science. The purpose of the article is to characterize the work of the first Russian kindergartens and the ascetic educational activities of the pioneers of Russian preschool education. Materials and methods. The leading research methods are the analysis of scientific literature, the biographical method. The author actively used an axiological methodological approach, which made it possible to identify and evaluate the most important achievements of the Lyugebil spouses and other Russian teachers in opening the first kindergartens in Russia. Results. Spouses Sofya Andreevna (1824-1914) and Karl Yakimovich Lugebil (1830-1887/1888) entered the history of Russian education as the founders of the country's first kindergarten. In their work, the Lugebil couple used the experience of their foreign predecessors, first of all, the German teacher F. Froebel, the creator of the first kindergarten in Europe. They were active members of the Pedagogical Society, at whose meetings they closely communicated with K. D. Ushinsky, P. G. Redkin and other prominent Russian teachers of that time; they invariably supported their progressive position on various issues of education development and sought to promote the idea of widespread preschool education in Russia. Discussion. The advanced teacher E. N. Vodovozova believed that the Lugebil spouses in their work sought to avoid thoughtlessly following the experience of others, even famous teachers such as F. Froebel and his direct students and followers. The Lugebiles went their own unique way. The progressive magazine Sovremennik paid close attention to the work of the first kindergarten, and in its articles gave a full account of the educational work carried out in this institution. The first kindergarten gave an impetus to the opening of similar institutions throughout the country, including in the province. Conclusion. The practical activities of the Lugebil spouses and other Russian teachers of the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries included axiological, humanistic content and therefore had a noticeable impact on the development of preschool education in Russia. The opening day of the first kindergarten, September 27 (1863), is celebrated in modern Russia as the day of the preschool worker.

Refractory accounts of feminist educational policy work: the case of Gender Equity: A Framework For Australian Schools

AbstractFeminist engagement in education policy in Australia has been extensive and impactful, with periods of high activity and influence in the past through to a present where it seems difficult to find feminist voices in policy spaces. There are diverse perspectives on the earlier decades of feminist policy influence that shift according to context, the social and political milieus of each moment, location, and position within the policy assemblage. In this paper I focus on the era of the mid 1990s, and the national policy Gender Equity: A Framework for Australian Schools (1997) as a case of policy emergence, mutation and dissipation. Drawing on my own recollections and interviews with eleven policy actors who were variously involved in the gender and education policy work around that time, I explore processes, strategies, obstacles and affordances of the times through four types of trouble: policy trouble, patriarchal trouble, school trouble, and genders and sexualities trouble. I offer these as refractory accounts of feminist policy work, that might break through linear accounts and add further nuance and context to our revisiting of feminism in education.

Understanding school principals' burnout

AbstractThis study explores why the principals experiences burnout and what the future plans of the principals who experienced burnout were. This is a case study that uses qualitative research methods. Before collecting qualitative data, the researcher collected and analysed data from principals working at different school levels and revealed their burnout tendencies. Subsequently, I collected qualitative data from kindergarten, middle school, and vocational high school principals through semi‐structured interview questions and analysed them through content analysis. Along with the four main themes, four subthemes emerged based on the theme of burnout sources. Accordingly, school principals experience burnout due to situations arising from parents, senior management, teachers, other principals, students, non‐education‐related workload, and insufficient financial income. Although the short‐term plans of school principals experiencing burnout are to continue their duties in their schools, in the long term, they plan to leave the profession and completely move away from educational work.
