This paper presents a way of possible implementation of teaching process based on interdisciplinary correlation. Interdisciplinary relationship between biology (bird migration) and geography (the basic features of countries through which white storks travel to their wintering grounds in Africa) is suggested in this paper. Such interdisciplinary approach should make the teaching process effectiv...

The purpose of this qualitative study was to poll the opinions of these important stakeholders to improve the teaching-learning process in the college, to pro...

Gopalan C, Klann MC. The effect of flipped teaching combined with modified team-based learning on student performance in physiology. Adv Physiol Educ 41: 363–367, 2017; doi:10.1152/ advan.00179.2016.—Flipped classroom is a hybrid educational format that shifts guided teaching out of class, thus allowing class time for student-centered learning. Although this innovative teaching format is gainin...

Internet technologies recently have developed extremely fast. The development of WWW applications has increased the accessibility of the Internet. New information and communication technologies are developing and playing a growing role in engineering education. Based on these technologies and new teaching methodologies, this study designed a cooperative distance-education paradigm for engineeri...

Background: Entering the Clinical Elective Year (CEY) is a challenging transition phase for undergraduate medical students. Students become members of a professional team, thereby taking over certain tasks, which are executed more or less independently. Factors which facilitate (or impede) this transition in the perception of students are not well described. We therefore wanted to explore, what...

bedside teaching is a vital component of medical education. it is applicable to any situation where teaching is imparted in the presence of patients. in teaching in the patients’ presence, learners have the opportunities to use all of their senses and learn the humanistic aspect of medicine such as role modeling, which is vital but difficult to communicate in words. unfortunately, bedside teach...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the results of quantitative and qualitative student evaluations of team-based learning (TBL) and student achievement evaluations during TBL. METHODS Questionnaires that evaluated medical student perception and self-assessment of the TBL experience included 38 questions on the TBL process. Also, we used scores from the TBL session to investigate stu...

BACKGROUND Obstetric crises are unexpected and random. Traditionally, medical training for these acute events has included lectures combined with arbitrary clinical experiences. This educational paradigm has inherent limitations. During actual crises insufficient time exists for discussion and analysis of patient care. Our objective was to create a simulation program to fill this experiential g...
