Military training simulations provide rich and engaging environments for personnel to develop and maintain mission critical knowledge and skills. However, these systems generally lack the capacity to diagnose student difficulties in real-time and provide automatic, context specific assistance to learners. The lack of pedagogical diagnosis and guidance has several implications for the effectiven...

For this study, inventory was administered participants from two different universities in Turkey. Participants’ were assessed relation overall and subscales, differences based on grade level, gender, examined using Statistical Package for Socia...

Breakdowns in team cognition are accepted as an explanation for system collapses, especially in complex environments. In the nuclear industry, training for system collapses is a part of the job for control room teams. Such training focus both on improving skills required for recognising and solving disturbances and on improving team processes. This paper presents an approach to team training fo...

Background: Non-technical skills are interpersonal and cognitive skills involved in safe performance and preventingadverse events during surgery. it is necessary to dominate the non-technical skills to ensure patient safety. This studyhas aimed to assess the validity and reliability of Oxford Non-technical skills 2 system (Oxford NOTECHS 2) in Iran andto evaluate surgical teams’ non-technical s...

BACKGROUND There is a relative lack of current research on the effects of specific communication training offered at the beginning of the medical degree program. The newly developed communication training "Basics and Practice in Communication Skills" was pilot tested in 2008 and expanded in the following year at the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf in Germany. The goal was to promote...

Surgical skills education is in the process of a crucial transformation from a master-apprenticeship model to simulation-based training. Orthopaedic surgery is one of the surgical specialties where simulation-based skills training needs to be integrated into the curriculum efficiently and urgently. The reason for this strong and pressing need is that orthopaedic surgery covers broad human anato...

AIMS To assess the quality of communication generally two procedures are used: one defines categories of utterances and counts their frequency, the other uses global observer ratings. We investigated whether a sequence analysis of utterances yields results which more precisely reflect the process of a conversation. METHODS We re-examined data from a randomised controlled intervention study in...

BACKGROUND This exploratory study investigated the motives of medical students (N = 63) for using indirect questions of the type I don't know if [you have already heard about chemotherapies], I don't know how [you are], or I don't know what [you do for a living] in simulated patient interviews during a communication skills course. METHODS I don't know questions (IDK-Qs) were observed during t...
