Higher education institutions should provide adequate training for teachers in order to increase their awareness of the complex interplay between technology, pedagogy and the cognitive knowledge in their disciplines. However, research has shown that providing effective staff development by teacher educators to support these teachers’ skills is not straightforward. An online teacher training pro...

BACKGROUND Data from monkeys with deafferented forelimbs and humans after stroke indicate that tests of the motor capacity of impaired extremities can overestimate their spontaneous use. Before the Motor Activity Log (MAL) was developed, no instruments assessed spontaneous use of a hemiparetic arm outside the treatment setting. OBJECTIVE To study the MAL's reliability and validity for assessi...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Motor Activity Log (MAL) is a semistructured interview for hemiparetic stroke patients to assess the use of their paretic arm and hand (amount of use [AOU]) and quality of movement [QOM]) during activities of daily living. Scores range from 0 to 5. The following clinimetric properties of the MAL were quantified: internal consistency (Cronbach alpha), test-retest agree...

As occupational therapy curricula prepare students to meet the needs of clients living in a technological world, at SHU we have chosen to emphasize professional survival and practice in a technology learning context. The curriculum is guided throughout by the pedagogy of learning through doing (Dewey, 1916), using technology-based learning that increases in complexity and application as the pro...

In this work we highlight the role of constructivist pedagogy and consequent educational methodologies either while using robotics in school education (Robotics in Education) or while training teachers to use robotics for teaching purposes (Education in Robotics). In this framework, constructivist methodologies for integrating robotics in school physics and informatics education and in professi...

Although much remains to be done, including the refinement of associated learning objectives, instructional models, and teaching pedagogies, movement toward a longer, more standardized training framework repr...
