Simulation Strategies to Teach Patient Transfers: Self-Efficacy by Strategy

“Professional Learning Communities (PLC): An Effective Strategy to Improve Teachers’ Self-Efficacy”

Nowadays almost all schools fail to develop a process in line with supporting the professional development of teachers. Professional learning communities intend to formulate a framework and process for teachers’ continuous learning and professional development. The present research aims to investigate the impact of Professional Learning Communities (PLC) on the teachers’ self-efficacy. This res...

Using Java Beans to teach Simulation and using Simulation to teach JavaBeans

This work reports on two courses for computer scientists. The first is a graduate course on modeling and simulation and the second is a course on component based software engineering. For both of these courses we principally use the same basis, that is, the Java Beans component technology and the DEVS system theory formalism for discrete event simulation. However, in the two coursed, we pursue ...

Self-efficacy and strategies to influence the study environment

Using a human patient simulation mannequin to teach interdisciplinary team skills to pharmacy students.

OBJECTIVES To determine the effectiveness and student acceptance of using a human patient simulation (HPS) training module focused on interdisciplinary teamwork skills. DESIGN During their second-professional year, all pharmacy students were in enrolled in Principles of Pharmacotherapy 4: Cardiovascular Diseases and Patient Care Lab IV, a problem-based learning course. As part of the patient ...

Using video-taped examples of standardized patient to teach medical students taking informed consent

Introduction: Medical student should be trained in medicalethics and one of the most essential issues in this field is takinginformed consents. In this research, we compared the effect ofeffectiveness of teaching methods on students’ ability in takinginformed consent from patients.Methods: This semi-experimental study was carried out on fiftyeight subjects from the 4th-year students of Shiraz U...
