Computer-based instruction for improving student nurses’ general numeracy: is it effective? Two randomised trials     

Hannah Ainsworth  Mollie Gilchrist  Celia Grant  Catherine Hewitt  Sue Ford  Moira Petrie 《Educational studies》2012,38(2):151-163

In response to concern over the numeracy skills deficit displayed by student nurses, an online computer programme, “Authentic World®”, which aims to simulate a real-life clinical environment and improve the medication dosage calculation skills of users, was developed (Founded in 2004 Authentic World Ltd is a spin out company of Glarmorgan and Cardiff Universities, Cardiff, Wales UK.). Two randomised controlled trials were conducted, each at a UK University, in order to investigate the impact of Authentic World® on student nurses’ general numeracy abilities. All first year nursing students who gave consent were randomised equally into an intervention or control group. The intervention group were given access to Authentic World®. The primary outcome measure was the students’ scores on a general numeracy test. The Intention to Treat (ITT) analysis in both trials revealed a small negative effect of Authentic World® on general numeracy, which was statistically significant in one trial. However, compliance with the intervention was very low in both trials, with only 24 and 12% of students allocated to the intervention groups spending more than 15 minutes using the programme. Providing nursing students with access to Authentic World® is not an effective use of resources since use of the programme appears to be very low.  相似文献

Monstrous Methods for Teaching Central Tendency Concepts     

Sue Kraus 《Teaching Statistics》2010,32(1):21-23

This article describes an interactive way to help students learn to evaluate central tendency measures using a fictional story. The use of humour and fictional dire consequences may increase student understanding and engagement while reducing anxiety.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The paper presents the initial results of research into the individual conditions of the psychosocial functioning of NEETs in the educational context. The study was performed between May and September 2017 in Slovakia, Poland and Estonia, by means of a triangulation of quantitative tools. The general objective of the study is to diagnose the level of critical thinking (Cornell Critical Thinking), reasoning (T.I.P.), problem-solving strategies (NCS) and individual development assessment (IDEA) in a group of NEETs, and to compare these variables with one another and with socio-demographic characteristics. Based on an initial analysis of the results (100 individuals from each country were invited to participate in the survey; 235 questionnaires were gathered), we can see that the group analysed presents a relatively high level of critical thinking and reasoning (intelligence indicator) and an average level of problem-solving attitude. Breaking stereotypes about NEETs, the study fits into the critical paradigm of andragogical research. The results served as the foundation for a series of postulates regarding educational programmes based on andragogical assumptions.  相似文献   

“An inseparable aspect of citizenship”: marking a centenary in “universal and lifelong” adult education     

John Holford  Steven Hodge  Marcella Milana  Richard Waller  Sue Webb 《International Journal of Lifelong Education》2013,32(2):127-131

Contradictory forces are operating in society. One model of the learning society sees it as futuristic, more democratic engaging citizens in the process but at the same time the structures of local government that enable democratic participation have been weakened in the United Kingdom. Drawing on work from his doctoral thesis, the author traces some of that decline.  相似文献   

Mentoring empowers gifted/Learning disabled students to soar!     

Betty Shevitz  Rich Weinfeld  Sue Jeweler  Linda Barnes‐Robinson 《Roeper Review》2013,35(1):37-40

The Wings Mentor Program, established by the Division of Accelerated and Enriched Instruction of Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools, was developed to provide additional support to students with gifts who also have learning disabilities (GAD) and highly able students who were not succeeding in the classroom. Students realize their creative and intellectual potential when paired with mentors who nurture them by increasing their knowledge and skills in an area of interest. The mentors, who have a background in education and/or experience working with children, are carefully screened and selected based on their knowledge in a specific field, and their ability to share their skills with young people. Mentors communicate with the classroom teachers so that the successful strategies can be transferred and applied to the classroom setting. The article includes an analysis of the program's components, the mentor/student/teacher partnership, and training practices.  相似文献
