Kelsey Gallagher, Tiara R. Jones, Nicole V. Landrosh, S. Abraham, Deborah R. Gillum
Background: Typical college students experience stressors every day. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine college students’ perceptions of stress and coping mechanisms. Method: A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive research design was used to assess students’ perception of stress and coping mechanisms. To collect data, a survey tool was used to answer 6 demographic and twenty-five survey items on a 4-point Likert-type scale. Two central research questions guided the study: (1) What are college students’ perceptions of stress? and (2) What are college students’ perceptions of coping mechanisms? Results: The responses to these questions were analyzed and the implications are discussed. Conclusion: College students agree that college life is stressful and that their level of stress increases significantly before exams. In addition, students reported that expectations to excel in classes cause additional stress. Students reported a variety of coping mechanisms, including listening to music, socializing with friends/family, and sitting alone in a quiet place.
背景:典型的大学生每天都会经历压力源。目的:本研究的目的是了解大学生的压力感知及其应对机制。方法:采用定量、非实验、横断面、描述性研究设计,对学生的压力感知和应对机制进行评估。为了收集数据,使用调查工具在4点李克特量表上回答6个人口统计和25个调查项目。两个中心研究问题指导了本研究:(1)大学生对压力的感知是什么?(2)大学生对应对机制的认知情况如何?结果:对这些问题的回答进行了分析,并对其影响进行了讨论。结论:大学生都认为大学生活压力很大,而且他们的压力水平在考试前显著增加。此外,学生们报告说,期望在课堂上取得优异成绩会带来额外的压力。学生们报告了各种各样的应对机制,包括听音乐、与朋友/家人社交、独自坐在安静的地方。

Background: Over the years, mathematics and sciences have been performed poorly worldwide. There is an overwhelming high failure rates of mathematics and sciences in the marginalized schools found in Nakivale refugee settlement in Uganda. Electronic (e)-learning tools could be promising interactive strategies for teaching mathematics and sciences. There is lack of studies documenting educational challenges in the refugee settlement, and how e-learning can address the challenges.Objective: To identify the challenges experienced in teaching and learning mathematics and sciences in schools found in Nakivale refugee settlement, and explore the potentials of using e-learning to address the identified challenges.Methods: We employed a parallel mixed methods study design that utilized focus group discussions and surveys. We purposively conducted a focus group discussion with the 17 mathematics/science teachers that we had trained (in e-learning) from 6 schools in Nakivale refugee settlement. We also administered surveys to 267 learners and mathematics/science teachers of the six participating schools.Results: Educational challenges reported by participants are: 1) lack of access to modern teaching and learning resources, 2) Leaners’ negative attitudes towards mathematics and science, 3) overwhelming number of learners in class. 4) Lack of ICT pedagogical skills. They anticipated that e-learning could potentially: 1) enable unlimited and flexible access to educational resources, and 2) enhance engagement, interest and understanding of learning concepts. They however worried about the availability of sufficient technological infrastructure (e.g. internet, computers, and electricity) and skills to use the application. Conclusion: E-learning may enable unlimited and flexible access to educational resources, and enhance engagement, interest and understanding of learning concepts, which could potentially improve performance in mathematics and sciences in otherwise marginalized schools.
背景:多年来,世界范围内的数学和科学表现不佳。在乌干达Nakivale难民定居点的边缘学校中,数学和科学的不及格率极高。电子学习工具有望成为数学和科学教学的互动策略。目前缺乏记录难民安置点教育挑战以及电子学习如何应对这些挑战的研究。目的:确定Nakivale难民定居点学校在数学和科学教学方面遇到的挑战,并探索利用电子学习解决已确定挑战的潜力。方法:我们采用平行混合方法研究设计,利用焦点小组讨论和调查。我们有目的地与来自Nakivale难民定居点6所学校的17名数学/科学教师进行了焦点小组讨论(电子学习)。我们还对六所参与学校的267名学生和数学/科学教师进行了调查。结果:参与者反映的教育挑战是:1)缺乏现代教学资源,2)学习者对数学和科学的消极态度,3)班级中学习者人数过多。4)缺乏ICT教学技能。他们预计,电子学习可能有以下潜力:1)使人们能够无限制地、灵活地获取教育资源;2)增强人们对学习概念的参与、兴趣和理解。然而,他们担心是否有足够的技术基础设施(例如互联网、计算机和电力)和使用该应用程序的技能。结论:电子学习可以使无限制和灵活地获得教育资源,增强对学习概念的参与、兴趣和理解,这可能会提高被边缘化学校的数学和科学成绩。

R. Waller, Pamela A. Lemoine, Evan G. Mense, C. Garretson, M. Richardson
Higher education has faced many challenges since its meager inception. However, higher education today faces its greatest combinations of challenges: economic uncertainty, accountability, globalization and emerging technologies that are daunting to learn and intimidating to implement. VUCA accurately describes this complex, evolving and dynamic environment confronted by global higher education. Therefore, global higher education institutions are attempting to develop the capacity to adapt and modify the new models of knowledge, information and change. In the Industrial Era, work got done in silos with adherence to process and the cult of efficiency. However, this type of working will no longer suffice in an era characterized by flux and change--the VUCA world.
高等教育自成立以来面临着许多挑战。然而,今天的高等教育面临着最严峻的挑战组合:经济不确定性、问责制、全球化以及令人望而生畏的学习和难以实施的新兴技术。VUCA准确地描述了全球高等教育面临的复杂、不断发展和动态的环境。因此,全球高等教育机构正试图发展适应和修改知识、信息和变化的新模式的能力。在工业时代,工作是在坚持流程和效率崇拜的情况下在竖井中完成的。然而,这种类型的工作将不再满足于一个以流动和变化为特征的时代——VUCA世界。

The study was to investigate students’ perception of lecturers in utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in instructional delivery in science education programme in Akwa Ibom State University. The researchers adopted descriptive survey design for the study. The population of the study which also formed the sample for the study were one hundred and thirty eight year three students of the Science Education Department, Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden, Mkpat Enin L. G. A. Two research questions were formulated to guide the study. A questionnaire titled “Students’ Perception of Lecturers Utilization of Information and Communication Technology Tools Questionnaire (SPLUICTTQ) was used for data collection. The researchers personally administered the questionnaire to the students (respondents) and retrieved immediately after completion. The data was analysed using percentages. The results indicated that students’ perception of lecturers’ use of email and computer in instructional delivery is 36.23% and 34.78% higher than all other ICT tools. The result also revealed excellent utilization of internet and email for instructional delivery as shown in the table with 53.52% and 60.80% respectively, while audio tapes and computer were averagely used with 44.20% and 42.28% respectively as ICT tools in instructional delivery. The result showed that 44.26% was the perceived percentage of lecturers not using teleconferencing at all. It was concluded that the recommendations of school net (2006) and that of National Policy on Education on the use of ICT tools in instructional delivery be re-emphasized to encourage lecturers in the Department of Science Education on the use of ICT tools for effective instructional delivery process.

Violence Against Nursing Students: A Review of Potential Literature 针对护生的暴力:潜在文献综述
Tina Hostetler
Background: The incidence of workplace violence has continued to occupy a significant place in healthcare at a rate nearly double that in other industries. Those providing direct bedside care are among the most vulnerable to violence, including nursing students. Among the evidence-based tools which may be deployed in such circumstances is verbal de-escalation, or the practice of verbal and physical behaviors and actions meant to calm (or at least not exacerbate) the patient. This literature review outlines the history of research on violence against nursing students and identifies the next steps for addressing this problem. Method: A search for relevant studies included using the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), ProQuest, Ovid, Science Direct, Medline, and PubMed databases using key terms such as nursing student, verbal de-escalation, aggression, and violence. Results: Search identified 19,000 articles but only 28 focused on violence experienced by nursing students and are covered in this review. Conclusion: Verbal de-escalation training may represent a promising solution for teaching students how to handle workplace violence. Furthur investigation of this and other solutions is necessary.
背景:工作场所暴力事件的发生率继续在医疗保健行业占据重要地位,其发生率几乎是其他行业的两倍。那些提供直接床边护理的人是最容易受到暴力侵害的,包括护理专业的学生。在这种情况下,可以使用的循证工具包括口头上的缓和,或者是口头和身体上的行为和行动,旨在使患者平静(或至少不加剧)。这篇文献综述概述了对护理学生的暴力研究的历史,并确定了解决这一问题的下一步。方法:使用护理与相关健康文献累积索引(CINAHL)、ProQuest、Ovid、Science Direct、Medline和PubMed数据库检索相关研究,关键词为护理学生、言语降级、攻击和暴力。结果:检索了19,000篇文章,但只有28篇关注护理专业学生所经历的暴力,并且在本综述中被涵盖。结论:语言降级训练可能是一种很有前途的解决方案,可以教学生如何处理工作场所暴力。有必要进一步研究这一解决方案和其他解决方案。

College Students’ Caffeine Intake Habits and Their Perception of Its Effects 大学生咖啡因摄入习惯及其影响感知
A. Beek, Megan Weier, Kassandra R. Williams, S. Abraham, Deborah R. Gillum
Background: Caffeine is a highly used stimulant on college campuses. The prevalence of energy drinks, especially among the younger generations is cause for concern. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the caffeine intake habits of college students and the perception of its effects. Method: The method used was quantitative, cross-sectional, with a descriptive design. The two research questions were: (1) What are the caffeine intake habits of college students? (2) What are the perceptions of the effects of caffeine use among college students? This study was conducted at a college campus in northern Indiana, USA. Participants included 120 male and female students ages 18 years and older. The health belief model was used to guide this study. Results: The study indicated that while caffeine is a commonly used stimulant across campus, overuse was not revealed. Many students reported being able to go 48-72 hours without caffeine and not experiencing withdrawal symptoms when going without it. However, most students do report that they perceive a need to decrease their use of caffeine, as caffeine use has increased since attending college. Conclusion: The review of the literature indicated that the use of caffeine was higher in younger people. However, the research completed as a part of this study from college students indicated that caffeine overuse may not be as prevalent as previously thought.
背景:在大学校园里,咖啡因是一种被广泛使用的兴奋剂。能量饮料的流行,尤其是在年轻一代中,引起了人们的关注。目的:本研究的目的是确定大学生的咖啡因摄入习惯及其影响的感知。方法:采用定量、横断面、描述性设计。这两个研究问题是:(1)大学生的咖啡因摄入习惯是什么?(2)大学生对咖啡因使用的影响有何看法?这项研究是在美国印第安纳州北部的一所大学校园进行的。参与者包括120名18岁及以上的男女学生。本研究采用健康信念模型作为指导。结果:研究表明,虽然咖啡因是校园里普遍使用的兴奋剂,但没有发现过度使用的情况。许多学生报告说,他们可以在没有咖啡因的情况下坚持48-72小时,并且在没有咖啡因的情况下不会出现戒断症状。然而,大多数学生确实报告说,他们认为有必要减少咖啡因的使用,因为自从进入大学以来,咖啡因的使用有所增加。结论:对文献的回顾表明,咖啡因的使用在年轻人中较高。然而,作为这项研究的一部分,对大学生进行的研究表明,咖啡因过度使用可能并不像之前想象的那样普遍。

A Cross Sectional Study of Medical Students’ Perception of Their Educational Environment in Ghana 加纳医学生对教育环境感知的横断面研究
Temitope Ade-Oshifogun Dr., J. Cadet, J. Ade-Oshifogun
Background: The quality of medical education is affected by many factors, one of which is the educational environment of medical education. However, there is paucity of studies addressing the educational environment from African medical schools. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical year students’ perceptions of their educational environment at a medical school in Ghana. This was done with the goal of identifying factors that may impact positive changes in the school.Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken using the DREEM questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered to students in clinical years 1, 2, & 3 at the time of the study. 298 students participated in the study by convenience sampling. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24. The total score and the five subscales of DREEM scores were used in the final analysis.Results: A total of 298 out of 300 students completed the questionnaire out of which Fifty six percent of respondents were male. There was no significant gender differences in the total DREEM scores [F(1, 274) = 1.019, p=0.314]. The overall educational environment was positive M=117.32 ± 15.45. Areas for improvement were students’ perception of the teachers (26.09 ± 3.59) and students’ perception of the atmosphere (25.71 ± 5.62). The students’ perception of learning (30.70 ± 5.20), and students’ academic self-perceptions (21.11 ± 3.74) were positive. Students’ social self-perceptions (13.71 ± 2.99) was neutral. There was no significant difference in perception by clinical year [F(2, 274) = 0.298, p = 0.742].Conclusion: The perception of students at this Ghanaian medical school can be described as positive and negative. The school should consider the two domains with negative perceptions as areas for improvement. Students reported problem-based learning as a preferred method of teaching versus the traditional method. Attention to the learning atmosphere and student-focused learning is likely to increase perception.
背景:影响医学教育质量的因素很多,其中之一就是医学教育的教育环境。然而,缺乏针对非洲医学院教育环境的研究。本研究的目的是确定加纳一所医学院临床学年学生对其教育环境的看法。这样做的目的是确定可能影响学校积极变化的因素。方法:采用DREEM问卷进行横断面研究。在研究开始时,对临床1、2和3年的学生进行问卷调查。采用方便抽样的方法,共有298名学生参与了研究。数据分析采用SPSS version 24。最终采用DREEM总分及五个分量表进行分析。结果:300名学生中共有298人完成了问卷,其中56%的受访者是男性。DREEM总分性别差异无统计学意义[F(1,274) = 1.019, p=0.314]。总体教育环境为正M=117.32±15.45。学生对教师的感知(26.09±3.59)和学生对氛围的感知(25.71±5.62)是有待改善的领域。学生的学习知觉(30.70±5.20)和学业自我知觉(21.11±3.74)为正。学生的社会自我知觉为中性(13.71±2.99)。不同临床年份的感知差异无统计学意义[F(2,274) = 0.298, p = 0.742]。结论:对加纳医学院学生的看法可以分为积极和消极两种。学校应该考虑这两个负面看法的领域作为改进的领域。学生报告说,与传统方法相比,基于问题的学习是一种更受欢迎的教学方法。关注学习氛围和以学生为中心的学习可能会增加感知。

The total score and the five subscales of DREEM scores were used in the final analysis.Results: A total of 298 out of 300 students completed the questionnaire out of which Fifty six percent of respondents were male. There was no significant gender differences in the total DREEM scores [F(1, 274) = 1.019, p=0.314]. The overall educational environment was positive M=117.32 ± 15.45. Areas for improvement were students’ perception of the teachers (26.09 ± 3.59) and students’ perception of the atmosphere (25.71 ± 5.62). The students’ perception of learning (30.70 ± 5.20), and students’ academic self-perceptions (21.11 ± 3.74) were positive. Students’ social self-perceptions (13.71 ± 2.99) was neutral. There was no significant difference in perception by clinical year [F(2, 274) = 0.298, p = 0.742].Conclusion: The perception of students at this Ghanaian medical school can be described as positive and negative. The school should consider the two domains with negative perceptions as areas for improvement. Students reported problem-based learning as a preferred method of teaching versus the traditional method. Attention to the learning atmosphere and student-focused learning is likely to increase perception.","PeriodicalId":29977,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85720983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impact of School Requirements on Pupils’ Academic Performance 学校要求对学生学习成绩的影响
F. Alemnge
This study examines the influence of some school requirements (textbooks, writing materials, school wear and farm tools) on pupils’ academic performance in urban and rural schools in Kumba III sub Division in the Southwest Region of Cameroon. The study used a cross-sectional survey design and a semi-structured Likert-type questionnaire to collected data from class six pupils. Data was analyzed descriptively using frequency, proportion and Multiple-Response Analysis (MRA). To analyse the hypotheses, the perceptions between those that agreed and disagreed were compared using the Chi-Square test of independence. The findings of study showed that generally pupils did not have any of the required learning materials in sufficient quantities and this seriously affected their academic performance. However, pupil’s performance is slightly better in rural areas as children from rural schools possessed slightly more learning materials in comparison to their peers from urban schools. It is recommended that government should increase efforts aimed at ameliorating the living conditions of the populations while international partners (UNICEF, UNESCO) and non-governmental organizations use every means possible to assist government efforts to address and improve this very critical situation and thus enable the pupils to improve their academic performance.
本研究考察了一些学校要求(教科书、写作材料、校服和农具)对喀麦隆西南地区Kumba III分校城市和农村学校学生学习成绩的影响。该研究采用了横断面调查设计和半结构化的李克特式问卷来收集六年级学生的数据。采用频率、比例和多重反应分析(MRA)对数据进行描述性分析。为了分析假设,使用独立性的卡方检验比较了同意和不同意的人之间的看法。研究结果表明,学生普遍没有足够数量的必要学习材料,这严重影响了他们的学习成绩。然而,农村地区学生的表现略好,因为农村学校的孩子比城市学校的同龄人拥有更多的学习材料。建议政府加大努力,改善人民的生活条件,同时国际伙伴(儿童基金会、教科文组织)和非政府组织利用一切可能的手段协助政府努力处理和改善这一非常危急的情况,从而使学生能够提高学习成绩。

Circular-Axial Representation of Human Evolution and Development in the Integral Theory: Educational Implications 整体理论中人类进化与发展的圆轴表征:教育意义
J. Gallifa
Integral Theory has become a common framework in different contexts to integrate the diverse consciousness manifestations. The wide use and discussion of this meta-theory in the most varied fields encourage the possibility of proposing enhancements in their conceptualization. This paper presents, for instance, a complementary aspect, which is an alternative way of representation: the circular-axial. The article discusses why this new way of representation is appropriate to the meta-theoretical concepts and why it has some advantages compared to the more popular representation of the four quadrants. Although compatible with the traditional representation, we argue that it fits better with other concomitant theories, and at the same time is equally explicative of the Integral Theory basics. Once described in detail, the new way of representation helps in the clarification of the different manifestations of consciousness as they are explained by the holonic theory. This development provides new intuitions to holistic/integral educational approaches addressed to human evolution and development. Finally, it is useful to characterize their corresponding educational roles.
整合理论已经成为在不同语境下整合不同意识表现的通用框架。这一元理论在大多数不同领域的广泛使用和讨论鼓励了提出增强其概念化的可能性。例如,本文提出了一个互补的方面,这是一种替代的表示方式:圆轴。本文讨论了为什么这种新的表征方式适合于元理论概念,以及为什么与更流行的四个象限的表征相比,它有一些优势。虽然与传统的表征相容,但我们认为它更适合其他伴随的理论,同时也同样说明了积分理论的基础。一旦详细描述,这种新的表征方式有助于澄清意识的不同表现,因为它们是由全息理论解释的。这一发展为解决人类进化和发展的整体/整体教育方法提供了新的直觉。最后,描述它们相应的教育作用是有用的。

Student Knowledge About the Water Cycle and Its Change in Different Interest Groups 学生对水循环的认识及其在不同兴趣小组中的变化
E. Malleus, Eve Kikas
This study describes the role of interest in eighth-grade students’ (N=183) knowledge formation. Student knowledge was measured through open-ended questions at three time points: once before and twice after specific topics had been taught in a regular 45 min geography lesson. Student interest level was assessed using teacher ratings. Student answers to seven open-ended questions were coded and placed into one of three categories: everyday, synthetic, or scientific knowledge. Results showed that higher interest was related to providing fewer everyday and more synthetic answers. However, student answers changed similarly in all interest groups as measured before and after learning. The content of student answers tended to change as a result of the lesson, but these changes reflected the formation of new synthetic knowledge.
本研究描述了兴趣在八年级学生(N=183)知识形成中的作用。学生的知识是通过三个时间点的开放式问题来衡量的:一次是在45分钟的常规地理课上教授特定主题之前,两次是在特定主题之后。学生的兴趣水平是通过教师评分来评估的。学生们对七个开放式问题的答案进行了编码,并将其分为三类:日常知识、综合知识或科学知识。结果显示,提供更少的日常答案和更多的合成答案与更高的兴趣有关。然而,在学习前后测量的所有兴趣小组中,学生的答案变化相似。学生回答的内容往往会随着课程的变化而变化,但这些变化反映了新的综合知识的形成。
