Different Levels

The main aim of this study was to construct a normative instrument for the measurement of different levels of moral reasoning.The sample comprised 426 undergraduate students in Industrial Psychology and Personnel Management from two Afrikaans speaking universities. A questionnaire was developed to measure different levels of moral reasoning on a normative scale. A factor analysis on 90 items yielded two factors.These factors were interpreted as principled moral reasoning and prescriptive moral reasoning.The two scales were subjected to an item analysis and yielded reliability coeficients of 0,936 and 0,937.The implications of these findings are discussed. Opsomming Die hoofdoel van die studie was om’n normatiewe meetinstrument te konstrueer vir die meting van verskillende vlakke van morele redenering. Die steekproef het uit 426 voorgraadse students in Bedryfsielkunde en Personeelbestuur aan twee Afrikaanstalige universiteite bestaan. ’n Normatiewe skaal is ontwikkel om verskillende vlakke van morele redenering temeet.’n Faktorontleding van die 90 items in die skaal het twee faktore tot gevolg gehad, naamlik principiele morele redenering en voorskriftelikemorele redenering. Die skale is vervolgens aan’n itemontleding onderwerp en het betroubaarhede van 0,936 en 0,947, onderskeidelik, opgelewer. Die implikasies van die bevindinge word bespreek.

Scaffolding Strategies

This study was designed to examine the effects of negotiation scaffolding for solving complex problems, focusing on peer interaction and learning performance in a computer-supported collaborative learning environment. For this research, 38 undergraduate students performed complex tasks using a collaborative discussion tool that implemented scaffolding strategies including the fading of meaning-negotiation scaffolding (MS) and the provision of position-negotiation scaffolding (PS). The participants were assigned to one of the following conditions: (a) MS is not faded and PS is not provided (Group N), (b) MS is faded and PS is not provided (Group F), (c) MS is not faded and PS is provided (Group P), and (d) MS is faded and PS is provided (Group FP). All groups worked in pairs to complete a comprehension task and a lesson-planning task. The results revealed that Group FP outperformed the others, showing the highest learning performance and a significant increase in meaningful peer interactions, such as divergent and reflective types of discussion.

Abstract This study examined student-faculty interactions and peer interactions among immigrant college students attending 4-year research universities in the United States. Using the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) survey completed by 58,000 undergraduate students from six large, public research universities, the researchers used analysis of variance and multiple linear regression analyses to explore differences between immigrant populations. The results suggest that there are significant differences between immigrant and non-immigrant college students with regard to their sense of belonging, faculty interactions, and peer interactions. There are also differences within immigrant waves and generational status. Implications and recommendations for educators in multicultural learning and teaching contexts are outlined.

Background: University undergraduates are at an age when experimentation with sex is prevalent. A significant number of young people still indulge in high risk sexual behavior. Hence, profiling safer sex would be important for the future health of this group. More so an improved knowledge among this group could act as a step down during peer interactions with other non-medical undergraduates. Aim: This study was designed to assess the knowledge and practice of safer sex among Medical undergraduate students and to know to what extent their practice impacts on their health as regards contraction of sexually transmitted infections and having an unwanted pregnancy. Subjects and methods: In this cross-sectional study, three hundred and fifty (350) Medical undergraduate students were interviewed using pretested semi-structured self-administered questionnaires to assess their knowledge and practice of safer sex.

Question Survey

Abstract Objectives A biology class, BIOL 294H, taught undergraduates about platelet donation while partnering with the University of North Carolina’s (UNC’s) hospital-based Blood Donation Center to recruit apheresis platelet donors. We identified our platelet donors’ demographics and learned how BIOL 294H affected recruitment. Methods Every platelet donor presenting to the UNC Blood Donation Center from February 7, 2017, to March 10, 2017, was asked to complete an electronic 10-question survey. Results A total of 159 unique donors completed the survey; 64% were female and 75% were between ages 18 and 25 years. Overall, 70% were UNC undergraduate students. Over half (56%) reported first learning about platelet donation through word of mouth, and 22% cited specific efforts associated with BIOL 294H. Conclusions Recruitment of undergraduate platelet donors primarily included BIOL 294H peer interactions and deliverables from the class, such as social media updates and events on campus. The sustained recruiting efforts of our students over many years contributed to recruitment of a majority of our platelet donors.
