Standard medical curricula in the United Kingdom (UK) typically provide basic surgical-skills teaching before medical students are introduced into the clinical environment. However, these sessions are often led by clinical teaching fellows and/or consultants. Depending on the roles undertaken (e.g., session organizers, peer tutors), a peer-assisted learning (PAL) approach may afford many benefi...

Research in educational multimedia shows many benefits of learning with the use of multimedia environments. To take advantage of these benefits we developed Multimedia Assisted Teaching Environment (MATE), which is currently trialled in supporting our teaching of IT subjects. MATE’s main strength is its ability to facilitate reuse of multimedia components while developing teaching material. In ...

This review surveys research on second language vocabulary teaching and learning since1999. It first considers the distinction between incidental and intentional vocabulary learning.Although learners certainly acquire word knowledge incidentally while engaged in variouslanguage learning activities, more direct and systematic study of vocabulary is also required.There is a discussion of how word...

In order to make the electronic design contest and reform of experiment teaching to support and promote each other and improve students' practical and innovative ability, the paper analyzed the requirements on the students' ability of comprehensive knowledge application and practice by NUEDC, and the deficiencies of the depth and scope of electronic information professional practice curriculum....

BACKGROUND Basic surgical skills training is rarely emphasised in undergraduate medical curricula. However, the provision of skills tutorials requires significant commitment from time-constrained surgical faculty. PURPOSE We aimed to determine how a peer-assisted suturing workshop could enhance surgical skills competency among medical students and enthuse them towards a career in surgery. M...
