Social media in health professional education: a student perspective on user levels and prospective applicationsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 687-697 - 2014
Stephen Maloney, Alan Moss, Dragan Ilic
Social Networking Sites (SNS) have seen exponential growth in recent years. The high utilisation of SNS by tertiary students makes them an attractive tool for educational institutions. This study aims to identify health professional students’ use and behaviours with SNS, including students’ perspectives on potential applications within health professional curricula. Students enrolled in an undergr...... hiện toàn bộ
Information processing, specificity of practice, and the transfer of learning: considerations for reconsidering fidelitySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 281-289 - 2014
Lawrence E. M. Grierson
Much has been made in the recent medical education literature of the incorrect characterization of simulation along a continuum of low to high fidelity (Cook et al. JAMA 306(9): 978–988, 2011; Norman et al. Med Educ 46(7): 636–647, 2012; Teteris et al. Adv Health Sci Educ 17(1): 137–144, 2012). For the most part, the common definition within the medical education community has been that simulation...... hiện toàn bộ
Predictors of academic success for Māori, Pacific and non-Māori non-Pacific students in health professional education: a quantitative analysisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 299-326 - 2017

Tertiary institutions internationally aim to increase student diversity, however are struggling to achieve equitable academic outcomes for indigenous and ethnic minority students and detailed exploration of factors that impact on success is required. This study explored the predictive effect of admission variables on academic outcomes for health professional students by ethnic grouping. Kaupapa Mā...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of factual recall and higher-order cognitive domains in an open-book medical school examinationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 27 - Trang 147-165 - 2021

Open-book examinations (OBEs) will likely become increasingly important assessment tools. We investigated how access to open-book resources affected questions testing factual recall, which might be easy to look-up, versus questions testing higher-order cognitive domains. Few studies have investigated OBEs using modern Internet resources or as summative assessments. We compared performance on an ex...... hiện toàn bộ

Learning to Use Minimal Access Surgical Instruments and 2-Dimensional Remote Visual Feedback: How Difficult is the Task for Novices?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2002
Natalie Perkins, Janet L. Starkes, Timothy D. Lee, Carol Hutchison
Performing minimal access surgery requires the use of 2-dimensional information to produce 3-dimensional movements, as well as precise motor control for manipulating laparoscopic tools. The added visuomotor demands of this task make it more demanding and complex than traditional open surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative task difficulty of performing laparoscopic tool mo...... hiện toàn bộ
Towards a more nuanced conceptualisation of differential examiner stringency in OSCEsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-16 - 2023
Matt Homer
Quantitative measures of systematic differences in OSCE scoring across examiners (often termed examiner stringency) can threaten the validity of examination outcomes. Such effects are usually conceptualised and operationalised based solely on checklist/domain scores in a station, and global grades are not often used in this type of analysis. In this work, a large candidate-level exam dataset is an...... hiện toàn bộ
