Raising public awareness of the need to use antibiotics appropriately is a major focus of the UK Government's strategy to tackle antimicrobial resistance. To investigate the public's views on antibiotic use and resistance we conducted a survey of 120 people as part of patient engagement activities held at University College London Hospital in June 2015.

There is a dropout epidemic in the United States. In the US, 25% of high school students do not graduate on time. For Latinos, the number is worse, with only 64% graduating from high school. Current research is clear that 9 th grade is a critical year for keeping students in school. Students that earn all their credits for their core classes in 9 th grade are more likely to graduate than studen...

Records from the Multiple-Institution Database for Investigating Engineering Longitudinal Development indicate that engineering students are typical of students in other majors with respect to: persistence in major; persistence by gender and ethnicity; racial/ethnic distribution; and grade distribution. Data from the National Survey of Student Engagement show that this similarity extends to eng...

The self-reported experiences of 50,883 undergraduates at 123 institutions were analyzed using a multinomial hierarchical model to identify individual and institutional characteristics associated with varying levels of student engagement in educationally purposeful activities. Parental education and student academic preparation were positively associated with higher levels of engagement. White ...

This article proposes that there are strong theoretical and practical connections between student engagement and student self-assessment. The idea is that deeper levels of student self-assessment are critical aspects of pedagogical processes aiming to encourage students to be substantively engaged in their classroom learning experiences. This argument was developed in the Fair Go Project, actio...

Presented by Chris J. Foley Research Questions 1. To what extent are student-level characteristics, including high school engagement and expectations for college engagement, related to students’ college engagement? 2. To what extent are institutional characteristics related to institutions’ college engagement means after controlling for student characteristics and high school engagement and e...

Current schemes to categorise MOOC students result from a single view on the population which either contains the engagement of the students or demographics or self reported motivation. We propose a new hierarchical student categorisation, which uses common online activities capturing both engagement and achievement of MOOC students. A first level is based on the online engagement with the cour...

INTRODUCTION Small group-based instructional methods such as team learning have been shown to produce positive educational outcomes. To motivate students' learning in an evidence-based medicine course, we explore team learning as a teaching strategy, and describe students' engagement and preference for this mode of learning. MATERIALS AND METHODS An adaptation of team learning was implemented...

The study focused on finding the relationship between students‟ proximity with constructivist principles of learning and their engagement in science lessons. Constructivist Learning Scale (CLS) by Mahmood (2004) was used to distribute students in two groups on the basis of their proximity to using constructivist learning approach for their science learning. In addition, a self-report engagement...

The learning assessment in e-learning contexts is one of the latest challenges for educational technology researchers. One of the main issues to be addressed is the definition of dimensions that should be used to measure the learning effectiveness. In this perspective, the research work aims at defining the engagement indicators useful to assess the active participation of students in social le...
