STANDARDIZING LIFE THROUGH EDUCATION

Standardizing Work in Healthcare Through Architecture, Routines and Technologies

This chapter presents an in-depth longitudinal study of hospital work. It discusses standardization after the introduction of a computer-mediated nurse–nurse/ interdisciplinary handover in a cardiology ward and its effect on collaborative work activities. The standardization also plays out in the physical architecture adopted by the hospital, which impact on the " who " and " how " collaboratio...

Standardizing Factors

Modifications in recorder standardization are required to correct inherent scalar differences among potential differences measured in a given electrocardiographic reference frame. In the frontal plane, agreement between the resultant vectors calculated from unipolar limb lead measurements and from standard lead measurements can be obtained by standardizing the galvanometer for recording the uni...

Early Life and Education

Education for life.

Opvoedkundige teorie en praktyk berus op teveel mites wat verwerp behoort te word. Die ware beginsels van leer is dat alle mense ’n natuurlike gawe en potensiaal tot leer en ’n gretige nuuskierigheid oor die wêreld het. Leer sal meer geredelik plaasvind as die leerder voel dat die vak met sy behoeftes verband hou en as hy aktief in die leerproses betrokke is. Die waardevolste les is om te leer ...

There is now a move both to change the way we teach biology students, emphasizing more engaging approaches, and to clearly define what it is a student should know. And for advanced degrees, there is a push to prepare students for a range of possible career paths, not just the tenure track. Cyrus Martin reports.
