Recent reports indicate the national principal attrition rate is at an all-time high. Scholars suggest a lack of responsive professional development as a leading factor in why principals leave the field. Further, the pandemic has exposed daily uncertainties for school leaders as they navigate new territory, bringing forth new considerations in how…

Objective: Few studies have investigated the maintenance of skills acquired in classroom-based clinician education. Using an advanced simulation-based clinical communication skill training program for postgraduate psychiatry education (ComPsych), we aimed to investigate skill acquisition through assessing changes in competence (abilities) and…

Clinical practice has benefited from new methodologies such as realistic simulation (RS). RS involves recreating lifelike scenarios to more accurately reflect real clinical practice, enhancing learners' skills and decision-making within controlled environments, and experiencing remarkable growth in medical education. However, RS requires…

This research aimed to measure the fist speed and strength of Elite Kick Boxers from TRNC and the Republic of Turkey, which are the basic techniques of hand smacking. Since measuring with scientific precision technological devices is not suitable due to the dress code in the competitions, punch counts, speeds and strengths were measured by…

Interprofessional practice has become a key component of health professions training programs in recent years as health care has shifted to a more team-based approach to patient care. Because of this, health professions training programs have been tasked with ensuring that students receive adequate training prior to graduation. In the field of…

Background: This study evaluated the Step-by-Step Parenting Program (SBSPP) to prepare expectant parents with intellectual disabilities to care for their newborns. Method: Two expectant parents with intellectual disabilities were seen once or twice weekly in their homes for about 2 h over 16 and 20 weeks (21 and 27 sessions), respectively. The key…

Medical simulations allow trainees to work within teams to develop their self-regulated learning (SRL) and socially-shared regulated learning (SSRL) skills (Bransen et al., 2022). Both skillsets help to better prepare medical trainees for the multifaceted challenges inherent in clinical practice. SRL skills are imperative in empowering learners to…

Objective: While flipped classroom instruction has repeatedly shown efficacy in undergraduate medical education, evidence for its utility in procedural domains remains sparse. This holds particular significance for surgical subspecialties such as otolaryngology, which have limited time in undergraduate medical curricula. We designed a novel airway…

Purpose: Entrepreneurship has become a widely accepted concept in the past few decades due to its prominent role in economic activity and economic development of a nation. Promotion of entrepreneurship can be ensured with the help of entrepreneurship teaching and learning through higher education institutions. Similarly, entrepreneurship skills…

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the effects of four types of cyber entrepreneurship courses on entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and intention. It is based on Social Cognitive Theory and Regulatory Focus Theory, which takes Chinese college students as the research objects. Design/methodology/approach: Approximately 101 senior business…

The existing performance evaluation methods in robot-assisted surgery (RAS) are mainly subjective, costly, and affected by shortcomings such as the inconsistency of results and dependency on the raters' opinions. The aim of this study was to develop models for an objective evaluation of performance and rate of learning RAS skills while practicing…

Background: Physical practice is the cornerstone of acquiring and developing movement skills in physical education and sport. However, research has suggested that psychological tools, such as mental imagery (MI), could effectively supplement a learner's physical practice schedule. MI is the mental simulation of a movement or situation in the…

Virtual reality (VR) has evolved to include non-immersive to fully-immersive experiences for the classroom. This study seeks to understand the potential effects VR may offer, specifically characteristics associated with how a student experiences a VR intervention and the effects of using a VR device for learning. A group experimental design was…

Empathetic behaviors by nurses have been shown to improve both patient satisfaction and health outcomes. However, there has been a documented decline in empathy levels among the undergraduate population, including nursing students. For these reasons nurse educators have sought ways to foster and improve empathy development in nursing students.…

Medical simulation education allows trainees to work together in teams, and to practise assuming the roles of leader and followers, while completing real-world scenarios designed to develop the skills needed to be effective in clinical practice. Despite the importance of residents developing leadership skills to optimize performance and patient…
