Calls for reform in university education have prompted a movement from teacherto student-centered course design, and included developments such as peer-teaching, problem and inquiry-based learning. In the sciences, inquiry-based learning has been widely promoted to increase literacy and skill development, but there has been little comparison to more traditional curricula. In this study, we demo...

visualization skills demonstrate that there are differences in skill levels between students who are potential majors and those who are not, suggesting that students may self-select geology as a major based on their visualization abilities before significant course work. Students in introductory geology courses with very poor spatial skills are more likely to receive poor final course grades th...

Computers are now essential in all branches of science, but most researchers are never taught the equivalent of basic lab skills for research computing. As a result, data can get lost, analyses can take much longer than necessary, and researchers are limited in how effectively they can work with software and data. Computing workflows need to follow the same practices as lab projects and noteboo...

BACKGROUND As 1st year students have no prior training in handling and facing patients, Clinical Skill Lab (CSL) is the most suitable place to avoid direct doctor/patient interaction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of recently established CSL and its impact on student learning in basic science subjects. METHODOLOGY This study was carried out at the Departments of ...

Today, skills laboratories or "skills labs", i.e. specific practical skill training facilities, are a firmly established part of medical education offering the possibility of training clinical procedures in a safe and fault-forging environment prior to real life application at bedside or in the operating room. Skills lab training follows a structured teaching concept, takes place under supervis...

Abstract The emergence of problems such as the COVID-19 pandemic that currently occurred interfere implementation teaching and learning activities in schools. Especially for science learning, it is not only about content but also processes to improve student’s skills, process skills. Current technological advances make possible conduct distance using media virtual lab. This study aims review co...

BACKGROUND Drug abuse is now-a-days one of the gravest social harms. Recent years have experienced a drastic rise in drug abuse among school and university students. Thus, the need for special attention to the issue is deemed important. The present study was conducted with the aim of assessing the impact of life skills training on promotion of drug abuse preventive behaviors. METHODS This fie...

INTRODUCTION There is paucity in the research on transfer validity of arthroscopic simulator training. The aim of this article is to determine whether skills derived from arthroscopic simulation are transferrable to the operating theatre and retained over time. METHODS A systematic review with rigorous criteria to identify the highest level of evidence available was carried out. The studies w...
