Research indicates that outdoor teaching practices within a Physical Education (PE) context are framed by several factors with the potential to weaken or strengthen PE teachers’ control of pedagogic messages. Drawing on 12 qualitative interviews with PE teachers in compulsory schools in Sweden, the findings in this study suggest that factors claimed to control teachers’ pedagogic communication ...

We describe a pedagogic tool called JIVE (Java Interactive Visualization Environment) for clarifying the dynamic behavior of Java programs. The tool has the following main goals: provide clear visualizations of execution state and call history, with varying levels of granularity; show method calls within object contexts; support declarative queries over executions; and, support forward and reve...

SToMP (Software Teaching of Modular Physics) is a comprehensive software package designed for use in introductory level undergraduate physics. It provides the student with carefully written scripts augmented with activities, simulated experiments, references, glossary, historical material, and media clips which are displayed in an easy-to-use format exploiting the multi-windows computer environ...

There are significant differences in the structures of course presentations of classical mechanics and quantum mechanics, but also essential links that connect the two approaches. A large part of the differences in approach do not involve quantization, but rather the traditional use of instantaneous values to describe macroscopic objects and position probability densities to describe microscopi...

Today, in the digital age, we are committed to prepare the future nurse for the information technology-rich workplace, and to help them reducing the “shock reality” upon arriving at the clinical setting. The main aim of the study is to promote the knowledge of Information Competencies Technology among nurses’ educators and student. The method was an action research process that started by colle...

Undergraduate medical educators are increasingly incorporating online learning tools into basic and clinical science curricula. In this paper, we explore the diversity of online learning tools and consider the range of applications for these tools in classroom and bedside learning. Particular advantages of these tools are highlighted, such as delivering foundational knowledge as part of the "fl...

Undergraduate students access the Internet for a range of purposes, many unrelated to their studies. Increasingly, learners are using the Internet to find information and resources for coursework, whether or not this is promoted or endorsed by their teachers. This article reports an interview study that investigated why and how independent learners use Web-based resources, exploring not only th...

BACKGROUND Although disaster simulation trainings were widely used to test hospital disaster plans and train medical staff, the teaching performance of the instructors in disaster medicine training has never been evaluated. The aim of this study was to determine whether the performance indicators for measuring educational skill in disaster medicine training could indicate issues that needed imp...

This paper shows that policy reforms in Vocational Education and Training in Australia since the late 1980s developed with the specific intention of reforming the official pedagogic discourse and associated pedagogic spaces that existed at that time. The discourses of flexible delivery, flexible learning, online learning, e-learning and blended learning established pedagogic spaces that are des...
