Abstract Social work and social student placements in general practice [GP] can contribute to wholistic healthcare. The overall aims of this research were develop, implement evaluate a field education placement curriculum for GP clinics. Between December 2021 June 2022, six students completed their four practices North Queensland. Data collection included records an online survey that invited s...

Phospholipase Cε (PLCε) is a multifunctional enzyme implicated in cardiovascular, pancreatic, and inflammatory functions. Here we show that conditional deletion of PLCε in mouse cardiac myocytes protects from stress-induced pathological hypertrophy. PLCε small interfering RNA (siRNA) in ventricular myocytes decreases endothelin-1 (ET-1)-dependent elevation of nuclear calcium and activation of n...

Contrary to the fairly established notion in the learning and cognitive sciences that un-scaffolded processes rarely lead to meaningful learning, this study reports a hidden efficacy of such processes and a method for extracting it. Compared to scaffolded, well-structured problem-solving groups, unscaffolded, ill-structured problem-solving groups struggled with defining and solving the problems...

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of two instructional approaches designed to improve the reading fluency of 2nd-grade children. The first approach was based on Stahl and Heubach's (2005) fluency-oriented reading instruction (FORI) and involved the scaffolded, repeated reading of grade-level texts over the course of each week. The second was a wide-reading approach that also i...

Standard models of representation as encodings of what is represented yield models of knowledge as banks of such encodings. Learning, in such a view, is the transmission of new encodings into those storage banks in the mind. Technology, therefore, can be a wonderful aid in enhancing the accessibility and transmission of these encoded representations — in enhancing learning as viewed in this mod...

The Scaffolded Sound Beehive is an immersive multi-media installation which provides viewers an artistic visual and audio experience of activities in a beehive. Data were recorded in urban beehives and processed using sophisticated pattern recognition, AI technologies, and sonification and computer graphics software. The installation includes an experiment in using Deep Learning to interpret th...

Despite feedback being considered important to learning, its potential is rarely fully realised. Promoting learning through in open-ended written tasks (e.g. essays and reports) a complex endeavour that requires students who are motivated identify utilise appropriate information. We set out understand the mechanisms enable interventions work, for whom what contexts. Using realist review researc...

Comprehension is the goal of reading. However, students often encounter reading difficulties due to the lack of background knowledge and proper reading strategy. Unfortunately, print text provides very limited assistance to one’s reading comprehension through its static knowledge representations such as symbols, charts, and graphs. Integrating digital materials and reading strategy into paper-b...
