Human factors are the most relevant issues contributing to adverse events in obstetrics. Specific training of Crisis Resource Management (CRM) skills (i.e., problem solving and team management, resource allocation, awareness of environment, and dynamic decision-making) is now widespread and is often based on High Fidelity Simulation. In order to be used as a guideline in simulated scenarios, CR...

We report on an innovative approach to teaching Optics to Engineering students in the form of an enhanced class experience developed by project-based learning, presentations, and peer-feedback. In order to compensate for the lack of laboratory work, an optics project was introduced alongside class demos. In order to increase class interest in the project, a competition was declared and the winn...

In this paper, we use supervised machine learning to automatically identify the problem localization of peer-review feedback. Using five features extracted via Natural Language Processing techniques, the learned model significantly outperforms a standard baseline. Our work suggests that it is feasible for future tutoring systems to generate assessments regarding the use of localization in stude...

This experiment tested whether peer approval and disapproval experiences can cause immediate change in children's state self-esteem. Children's narcissistic traits and evaluator perceived popularity were examined as potential moderators. A total of 333 preadolescents (M = 10.8 years) completed personal profiles on the Internet that were ostensibly judged by a jury consisting of popular and unpo...

Despite a growing interest in instructional feedback, students’ feedback perceptions received limited attention. We examined the structural validity and measurement invariance of Feedback Perceptions Questionnaire (FPQ). The FPQ measures terms perceived fairness, usefulness, acceptance, willingness to improve, affect. Secondary school students (N = 1486) fictional scenario containing Concise Ge...

Feedback has a powerful influence on learning, but it is also expensive to provide. In large classes it may even be impossible for instructors to provide individualized feedback. Peer assessment is one way to provide personalized feedback that scales to large classes. Besides these obvious logistical benefits, it has been conjectured that students also learn from the practice of peer assessment...
