This paper introduces an educationmethod of robotics with the jigsaw method by using the RT component. Robotics contains many areas of technologies, such as mechanism, electronics, and computer programming. Therefore, it may be a desirable academic discipline for studying current complex technologies. For studying robotics efficiently, we propose an education method of robotics based on the jigsaw method. The jigsaw method is an efficient method to induce collaborative learning. We apply the jigsaw method to practical training of controlling a real mobile robot. We design an education program according to the method and develop its educational tool. Our developed educational tool is portable and simple to use. It just consists of a small mobile robot, a range sensor, circuit boards, and a personal computer. The mobile robot is controlled through USB. Moreover, students make program by using RT component. The RT component is a standard software component in the field of robotics. By using the RT component, they can skip to creating programs to drive hardware. We executed an experimental lecture according to the educational program. Through the experiment, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Elective Course

This paper describes an elective course in mechatronic systems engineering that is project based and team-oriented with hands-on learning. Working in small teams, students add electronic components to a mobile robot base and write the programs required to make the robot perform a series of tasks. Although the application of mobile robots as an educational tool in a mechatronics course is becoming the norm at many universities, the task based organization of the Queen’s mechatronics course is believed to have a number of novel features. The paper will review the pedagogy of the course, including aspects of the student workload, the interplay between teams, and the task based approach to marking and organization of the laboratories.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the effectiveness of Kuwait Infection Control Directorate educational program in improving knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of environmental service workers (ESWs) regarding the management of infectious and sharps waste. Design/methodology/approach An interventional educational pre-test/post-test study was conducted over seven months, on a sample of 102 ESWs in Farwaniya General Government Hospital, Kuwait. Educational sessions and practical training using the KAP approach were applied during the intervention phase. The KAP of the participants were assessed using a questionnaire and observation checklist in the pre- and post-intervention phases. Findings Improvement in all aspects of the KAP regarding infectious and sharps waste management was observed among the participants after implementation of the intervention, with a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-test results (p<0.01). Originality/value The applied multi-component educational program in the current study can be successfully implemented for ESWs in all government hospitals in Kuwait and other countries with similar settings.

Effective Role

Storytelling is an effective educational tool that features strongly across all cultures since human language evolved. Today, it is rarely heard in conventional learning environments. This paper describes an educational program based on storytelling. Research shows that storytelling has the ability to build a greater sense of community, enhance knowledge and memory recall, support early literacy development, and expand creative potential in young children. This program explores storytelling's potential for this through a broad range of extension activities. Conclusively, it is argued that storytelling has a highly effective role to play in the education of young children.

Good Coincidence

As part of a guidance system for mobile robots operating on a wide and flat floor, such as an ordinary factory or a gymnasium, we have proposed a special-purpose sign. It consists of a cylinder, with four slits, and a fluorescent light, which is placed on the axis of the cylinder. Two of the slits are parallel to each other, and the other two are angled. A robot obtains an image of the sign with a TV camera. After thresholding, we have four bright sets of pixels which correspond to the four slits of the cylinder. We compute by measuring the relative distances between the four points, the distance and the angle to the direction of the sign can be computed using simple geometrical equations. Using a personal computer with an image processing capability, we have investigated the accuracy of the proposed position identification method and compared the experimental results against the theoretical analysis of measured error. The data shows good coincidence between the analysis and the experiments. Finally, we have built a movable robot, which has three microprocessors and a TV camera, and performed several control experiments for trajectory following.

Teaching Physics

The process of teaching physics at a medical university is developing within the framework of a fairly rigid modern educational paradigm. On the one hand, there is a steady reduction in the study time allotted to the academic discipline, both lecture hours and hours of practical training. On the other hand, the role and place of physics as the basis of radiation medicine in the health care system, and specifically in medical diagnostics, is constantly growing. In addition, modern physics, following in the wake of the advanced achievements of science and technology, is actively replenished with new technologies and teaching methods, which leads to a significant increase in the material required for assimilation. There is no doubt that this problem is not specific to physics and therefore its solution is not in the plane of increasing the volume of hours at the expense of other disciplines. Innovative approaches are required that take into account modern realities and general trends in the development of the educational process.
