The purpose of this mixed methods study was to determine how communication evaluation by clinical faculty compared in a clinical setting versus a simulation setting for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students. Fifty (50) BSN students from three different schools of nursing were scored using the Interprofessional Situation, Background,…

This qualitative study aims to examine foundation year Master of Social Work (MSW) students' experiences with the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) using a holistic framework. Study participants included 64 MSW students who completed a 15-minute virtual OSCE with standardized patients and expert observers followed by a five minute…

Learning engagement is an essential indication to define students' learning pacification in the class, and its automated identification technique is the foundation for exploring how to effectively explain the motive of learning impact modifications and making intelligent teaching choices. Current research have demonstrated that there is a direct…

Airway management is one of the main situations that required nursing skills. Actual airway management experience on live patients is limited due to few opportunities to perform endotracheal intubation for students and issues related to students' liability. Therefore, this study evaluated the effect of High Fidelity Simulation airway management…

Structural equation models offer a valuable tool for delineating the complicated interrelationships among multiple variables, including observed and latent variables. Over the last few decades, structural equation models have successfully analyzed complete and right-censored survival data, exemplified by wide applications in psychological, social,…

This study explores the intersection of Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities and driving performance among novice drivers, with a focus on autistic individuals. The purpose is to investigate how ToM deficits may impact driving behaviors and decision-making, ultimately informing the development of tailored interventions and training programs for autistic…

Simulated learning is firmly established in health-related disciplines with a growing presence in the field of speech-language pathology. However, research on its efficacy and outcomes in this field is still emerging. A synthesis of simulated learning practices and associated student learning outcomes within the field of speech-language pathology…

A good knowledge of the theoretical foundations of medicine helps students and physicians to better recognize and treat patients with complex medical conditions, including sepsis and septic shock. The article describes the authors' experience in implementing the analysis of sepsis and septic shock using a high-fidelity simulated clinical scenario…

With only about a third of students in US public schools achieving the NAEP Proficient level, many educators believe students are not getting enough reading practice. However, how much reading practice is enough? This study quantifies the relationship between the amount of book reading and the expected number of words learned. We collected 45…

The Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion technique is used as a teaching tool for studying immune responses and exemplifying differences in antigen-antibody reactions. Although commonplace in undergraduate labs, standardized commercial kits limit learning experiences because they have fixed modalities of use, a low shelf-life, and impose budgetary…

In this article, we describe the theoretical and pragmatic considerations behind our development of a set of nine protocols and training materials for engaging prospective secondary mathematics teachers in live, interactive clinical simulations. Our designs are grounded in theoretical principles from situated cognition and variation theory and…

Occupational therapy education programs use simulation and clinical environments to teach students clinical skills. However, students' perceptions of how these environments meet their learning needs are not known. The objective of this study was to explore entry-level occupational therapy students' perceptions of the effectiveness of simulation…

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an important skill for healthcare professionals. However, adding POCUS training to medical education can be difficult because ultrasound simulators can be expensive. This study assessed whether an interactive, PowerPoint-based computer tool could be a valid alternative to an entry-level ultrasound simulator for…

Academic entrepreneurial behaviours are increasingly a research field paralleling processes of capitalist commodification. We mobilise Baudrillard's concepts to probe a school's strategic communication methods symbolising class neoliberalism, which aspirational parents may experience as a desired habitus of 'distinction'. We suggest their…

Law enforcement officers (LEOs) may use physical force unnecessarily or escalate problem behavior when attempting to gain the compliance of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (Copenhaver & Tewksbury in American Journal of Criminal Justice 44:309--333, 2019). Although specialized training may remedy this problem, the relatively…
