Bridging the BMT Knowledge Gap with a Multidisciplinary Education Conference

Bridging the Gap Between Genomics and Education.

Despite several decades of research suggesting the importance of both genetic and environmental factors, these findings are not well integrated into the larger educational literature. Following a discussion of quantitative and molecular genetic methods, this article reviews behavioral genetic findings related to cognitive and academic skills. This literature suggests that (a) the relative impor...

Bridging the gap in catalysis via multidisciplinary approaches

Bridging the gap between knowledge and practice

The evaluation of nurse education programmes usually consists of the immediate assessment of changes in knowledge and attitudes (Ferrell,1988). Rarely do they focus on changes in the nurse’s behaviour, or consequent improvements in patient care. Attendance at a course does not ensure that nurses will change their practice on return to their clinical setting. However, it is difficult to assess t...

A model for bridging the gap between neuroscience and education

As the brain sciences make advances in our understanding of how the human brain functions, many educators are looking to findings from the neurosciences to inform classroom teaching methodologies. This paper takes the view that the neurosciences are an excellent source of knowledge regarding learning processes, but also provides a warning regarding the idea that findings from the laboratory can...

Bridging the Knowledge Gap: towards a comprehensive mHealth Training Framework

Mobile health (mHealth) solutions can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services delivered by Primary Healthcare (PHC) workers in rural communities in developing countries. However, a host of barriers can hinder the success of new mHealth implementations including low tech-nology literacy levels and failure to communicate the benefits of the solution for all stakeholders. T...
