Nutrition students and mathematics: Competent but not confident

short-term pre-pregnancy health education may improve maternal nutrition behavior, but not nutrition self-efficacy

Juvenile hormone , but not nutrition or social

18 Eusocial insect colonies are defined by extreme variation in reproductive activity among 19 castes, but the ancestral conditions from which this variation arose are unknown. 20 Investigating the factors that contribute to variation in reproductive physiology among 21 solitary insects that are closely related to social species can help to fill this gap. We 22 experimentally tested the role of...

Competent Workplace Mathematics: How Signs Become Transparent

Many scientists, asked to interpret unfamiliar graphs that have nevertheless been culled from introductory undergraduate courses in their own field, experience problems and cannot give the standard answer accepted in the field. At the same time, these same scientists turn out to be highly competent when it comes to graphs from their immediate domain of research. In fact, scientists no longer se...

Confident but not theoretically grounded – experienced simulation educators’ perceptions of their own professional development

BACKGROUND Medical simulation enables the design of learning activities for competency areas (eg, communication and leadership) identified as crucial for future health care professionals. Simulation educators and medical teachers follow different career paths, and their education backgrounds and teaching contexts may be very different in a simulation setting. Although they have a key role in fa...

Mathematics anxiety affects counting but not subitizing during visual enumeration.

Individuals with mathematics anxiety have been found to differ from their non-anxious peers on measures of higher-level mathematical processes, but not simple arithmetic. The current paper examines differences between mathematics anxious and non-mathematics anxious individuals in more basic numerical processing using a visual enumeration task. This task allows for the assessment of two systems ...
