Research on the Design of Performance Evaluation System for Physical Education Major Based on Multimedia Information Processing Technology

The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platform, despite its reach and potential, faces significant challenges related to learner diversity, including variations in student backgrounds, work experiences, and learning environments. By integrating the principles of ant colony clustering algorithms with MOOC platform dynamics, our study devises a strategy for grouping students based on shared characteristics, thereby fostering a tailored learning environment. A streamlined MOOC platform design framework is outlined, accompanied by a detailed blueprint for a peer-evaluation information system, aimed at accurately gauging students' academic progress within their disciplines. This platform enables students to effortlessly access and engage with courses aligned with their interests, while the reciprocal assessment mechanism heightens understanding of course materials and alleviates pressure on educators. Our research contributes a pragmatic solution to the challenge of student assignment clustering within MOOCs, enhancing both individual learning outcomes and the broader instructional quality.

Collaborative AI-enhanced digital mind-mapping as a tool for stimulating creative thinking in inclusive education for students with neurodevelopmental disorders

BackgroundNowadays, inclusive education is becoming an increasingly important method in the education of people with various types of disabilities. This study is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of utilizing collaborative digital mind-mapping techniques in the practical work of students in inclusive educational groups, as well as examining how the use of AI-provided prompts influences the development of creative skills.MethodsThe study involved 163 participants, among whom 28 had neurodevelopmental disorders. The application of the proposed methodology resulted in an improvement in the indicators of creative thinking as measured by the Torrance Figural Creativity Test, specifically in terms of Fluency, Originality, Elaboration, and overall creativity score; the observed increase was statistically significant according to the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p = 0.05).ResultsThis increase in indicators was observed both in students with neurodevelopmental disorders and in students without developmental disorders, with a notably stronger impact observed on students with neurodevelopmental disorders. Furthermore, a slightly higher effectiveness of the applied methodology was recorded when AI prompts were used for both categories of students. Students with neurodevelopmental disorders largely perceived the usefulness of the prompts they received subjectively.ConclusionsThe present research may contribute to further study of various creativity development methodologies in inclusive education, as well as regarding the influence of AI utilization on creative skills. The obtained results can be utilized in the development of educational programs for students in higher education institutions that support inclusive forms of learning.

STEM Enrollment Decision Trees as Graduation Predictors for Community College Students Enrolled in Remedial Mathematics

Objective/Research Question: Community college graduation rates are typically quite low, and developmental mathematics enrollment and coursetaking patterns may constrain academic outcomes. To identify ways in which community college graduation rates may be improved, decision trees were utilized to examine the STEM coursetaking patterns of N = 5,065 students who matriculated in remedial mathematics. Methods: The research design was guided by Tinto’s academic and social integration framework, which provided an analytical lens for identifying how decision trees facilitate academic decision making when academic and social integration is limited. Decision trees identified course sequence rules to predict graduation, which can be used to formulate course pathways for community college advisors and their students. Results: Nine rules from the decision tree were identified, which could be used to advise community college students in coursetaking that aligns with career aspirations. The most important variable predicting graduation was completing College-Level Mathematics, which included Algebra II, Statistics, Precalculus, and survey mathematics courses. General education sciences courses such as Astronomy, Geology, Environmental Science, and Marine Biology were the most important science courses predicting graduation. Conclusions/Contributions: Results suggest the importance of College-Level Mathematics in providing the skills necessary for students to be successful in subsequent STEM coursework and persist to graduation. Designating specific academic pathways may improve social and academic integration and graduation rates, providing continuity as students work with different advisors to choose majors and plan course sequences. Transparent, accessible enrollment planning fosters programmatic consistency and student agency in selecting coursework that will maximize their success.

Finding the Holy Grail of Library Value: Characteristics of Academic Libraries at Universities with High Retention Rates

Objective – What are the characteristics of academic libraries at schools with high retention rates? To help libraries tell the story of their impact, we sought to determine which academic library practices were linked to high retention rates. Methods – The investigators created a survey for the United States Great Lakes region library deans and directors in the Spring of 2022 with 19 questions about their library services and staffing. The survey was sent to 226 schools and had a response rate of 31%. We compared the resulting information to publicly available data on student retention from ACRL Metrics and IPEDS to look for correlations and associations. Results – Statistical analysis used the Chi-squared test and the Pearson correlation to calculate association and correlation. This found six attributes of student connections with library staff and with unique local collections that were associated with statistically significant differences in retention rates and institutions. These attributes were institutions who: used students as archives student workers, used students to staff reference desks, conducted multiple library instruction sessions with the same class, had a staffed archive or special collection space, had an institutional repository that included student work, or had an Instagram account. Conclusion – The survey results gave a clear profile of academic libraries with above average retention, particularly in terms of student focused initiatives and the curation of unique collections. Additionally, the survey gave a foundation, with recommendations, for future researchers to build upon.

The role of students’ extracurricular independent work in the formation of general and professional competences in graduates of medical college

The article considers the forms and possibilities of extracurricular independent work, which is an important component of the modern pedagogical process and allows to mobilise students for creative activity. In modern conditions of medical education, the role of independent work of students, including extracurricular, which contributes to improving the quality of education, the formation of students’ desire for continuous self-education, the ability to independently acquire new knowledge and use them in their professional activities, is increasing. The task of teachers of professional modules is not only to teach students a profession, but also to teach students to acquire knowledge, process it and apply it in various activities. Gradually the skill to choose information of professional nature in the general information flow is formed. Independent work is one of the key factors that allows to transfer a student from a passive consumer of knowledge to an active participant. The main reasons for the increasing role of independent work in mastering educational programmes of medical profile are reflected in the general and professional competencies of a specialist’s ability to organise his/her own activities, to make decisions in standard and non-standard situations, to search for and use information, as well as to independently determine the tasks of professional and personal development. To develop students’ learning and cognitive activity we use various forms of extracurricular work. The main figure in the organisation of independent work is the teacher, who directly manages the independent work of students in his discipline both individually and in a group. The main tasks of the teacher in the management of independent work of students are: to assist students in organising independent work; to implement a differentiated approach to the organisation of independent work; to stimulate students’ interest in the in-depth study of the discipline; determine the scope of tasks for independent work in accordance with the programme; create methodological support for the discipline: teaching and methodical complex (TMC), control tasks (tests, problem tasks), topics of essays, term papers, etc.; to control independent work, evaluate and encourage students’ creative activity. Thus, independent work is an autonomous activity of students, characterized by their independence and cognitive interest, which can be considered as a teacher-controlled independent cognitive activity of students.
