BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation via laryngoscopy is a fundamental skill, particularly for anaesthesiologists. However, teaching this skill is difficult since direct laryngoscopy allows only one individual to view the larynx during the procedure. The purpose of this study was to determine if video-assisted laryngoscopy improves the effectiveness of tracheal intubation training. METHODS In this ...

It has been over 50 years since the emergence of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) that would forever change how second/foreign languages are taught. This article presents a historical overview of the evolution of CALL from the early years of the mainframe computer to the integrative technologies of the 21st century. It examines the evolution of the dual fields of educational technolog...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a standardized reflection tool on the development of a teaching philosophy statement in a pharmacy residency teaching and learning curriculum program (RTLCP). Pharmacy residents participating in the RTLCP over a two-year period were surveyed using a pre/post method to assess perceptions of teaching philosophy development before and after u...

-This study aimed to look at the adequacy. Instructional Materials used in Teaching TLE as Perceived by the 4th year BSE TLE and there is enough classroom and space utilized for placement of equipment and machines: (1) Computer Aided Drafting, (2) intelligence, and experience of the learners. Other chapters provide a brief explanation for the heavy use of graphics, which is applied PDF (37 K) A...

Purpose: To apply educational models of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and approaches to assisted performance to existing knowledge about surgical skill acquisition, and thus provide a framework for potentially enhancing surgical education. Summary: The stages of the ZPD appear to be consistent with existing psychomotor theories of skill acquisition. The fourth phase of the ZPD, where t...

Different modulation modes of PWM technology and inverters can be selected for different types the motors, a variety AC variable frequency speed system structures also derived based on same control principle. So it brings great challenge to teaching systems. We have identified four factors that hinder students’ learning in this topic: 1) abstraction mathematical logic behind theory; 2) complexi...

This paper investigates the effect of the integration of computer simulations in the traditional teaching methodology on learning effectiveness of a group of students having significant variation in marks obtained in pre-learning examination. For comparison another group of students having a relatively low distribution in marks have also been examined for their learning effectiveness when tradi...

The Algorithm is a fundamental concept for teaching Computer Science in Secondary Education. There are verbal (pseudocode) and graphic (flowchart) representations of algorithms that can be used in the process. Teaching algorithms through peer collaboration is a new approach that needs investigation. The main objective of this paper is to present a case study of computer-assisted collaborative a...
