Comparing three experiential learning methods and their effect on medical students' attitudes to learning communication skills.

2012

Background: Despite numerous studies exploring medical students’ attitudes to communication skills learning (CSL), there are apparently no studies comparing different experiential learning methods and their influence on students’ attitudes. Aims: We compared medical students’ attitudes to learning communication skills before and after a communication course in the data as a whole, by gender and when divided into three groups using different methods. Method: Second-year medical students (n ¼ 129) were randomly assigned to three groups. In group A (n ¼ 42) the theatre in education method, in group B (n ¼ 44) simulated patients and in group C (n ¼ 43) role-play were used. The data were gathere…

Antti Järvinen, 2016. Toimintatutkimus Psykologisten taitojen opettamisesta lukiossa. Liikuntapsykologian maisteriohjelman pro-gradu tutkielma. Liikuntatieteen laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto. 109 sivua. Psykologisten taitojen vaikutusta on paljon tutkittu ja opetuksen hyödyt näiden taitojen oppimisessa ovat kiistattomat. Tästäkin huolimatta, emme tiedä vielä tarpeeksi opettamisen ja oppimisen mekanismeista prosesseista psykologisten taitojen taustalla. Lähes kaikki alan tutkimukset ovat keskittyneet urheilumaailmaan ja esimerkiksi koulumaailma on lähes tutkimaton alue alalla. Tämä tutkimus keskittyi psykologisten taitojen opettamisen suunnitteluun, käytännön toteutukseen ja arviointiin lukiok…

This study examined the malleability of math self-efficacy (SE) among children with poor calculation fluency via an intervention that targeted four sources of SE (mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasions, and emotional and physiological states). The effect of pure strategy training was contrasted with an intervention that integrated strategy training and explicit SE support. Moreover, the changes in SE source experiences and their relation with math SE, as well as the relation between math-SE profiles and calculation fluency development, were examined. In a quasi-experimental design, 60 Finnish children with calculation fluency problems in Grades 2 to 4 participated in…

Acquisition of Skills, Training Activities and Learning Outcomes: Empirical Evidence in the Degree in Finance and Accounting

2015

The aim of this paper is examining whether the new teaching model, based on a skills training approach, is being applied in the implementation of degrees. In particular, we examine it by an analysis of the degree in Finance and Accounting at University of Valencia. Interviews with the subjects’ coordinators as well as surveys addressed to both students and professors show that, although methodological changes have been made, the new teaching model has not been adopted yet. Results also show that carrying out more training activities does not have a signifi cant effect on the students’ learning outcomes.

Usability Challenges in Surgical Simulator Training

2009

Surgical virtual reality simulators have been taken into use in order to improve surgical skills training. Emergence of simulators increases the need for research and knowledge related to usability of medical simulators. In this study usability of laparoscopic surgical simulator was researched experimentally through combined analysis. Data was gathered with heuristic evaluation, questionnaires, and interviews as well as recorded simulator parameters. Results suggest that the surgical simulator could be more efficient learning and training tool if usability issues such as support and error prevention were reconsidered in more detail. There also seem to be grounds for connecting user support …
