Text Mining Tool

To meet the research, teaching, and learning needs of their users, academic librarians, particularly those functioning as subject liaisons, are expected to know the institution’s curriculum and research areas so that they can help shape library strategies to meet those needs and to connect users to the library’s resources and services. The present study investigated the use of Refinitiv’s free web demo, Open Calais, as a text mining tool to help learn about the research areas in the University of Tennessee’s Tickle College of Engineering. We investigated the following research questions: What interdisciplinary research areas in the College does Open Calais reveal? What are the differences in Open Calais’ tagging of Scopus and web pages? What terms were uncovered by Open Calais that were unexpected by the subject librarian? The results showed a mixed picture of the usefulness of Open Calais for learning the research areas of the College of Engineering.

Rapid Transformation

The Coronavirus epidemic in Kosovo is having consequences in all spheres of life. This reflection is especially noticeable in teaching and learning, especially at the university level, moving from the classical (traditional) form of teaching fully or partially to e-learning. The necessity of such a rapid transformation and the need to achieve the objectives of studies are being assessed by students in different ways. The subject of this research is how students evaluate this rapid transformation from traditional teaching and learning to e-learning, which was conducted in December 2020. 551 Kosovar Bachelor and Master students participated in the research. The research was done through a survey. The analysis of the results, their comparison leads us to the conclusions and recommendations, information which could serve the university institutions and state decision-making structures for the orientation of educational policies in a new era of digitalization, where e-learning is becoming a necessity even in developing countries. Where work enables us to understand that developments in the field of education, imposed by the epidemic, will be one of the forms of teaching and learning in the future and that for this we must all prepare as individuals and as a society in general.

The Impact

The outcome of this paper is primarily to survey and analyse student interactions with electronic conferencing systems and to reflect on the impact of such a system on the students’ learning within an open distance learning context. This pilot study is articulated within action research methodology to generate critical reflection on collaborative, online environments such as electronic conferencing systems for teaching and learning. This study aims to assess the benefits and feasibility of integrating such a system within the University of South Africa’s (UNISA) current organisational structure. These results are intended to generate debate and further research within the university into possible evolution in practice within the institution that would address contemporary learning needs of students. As this was a feasibility study, a comparative study of the current tools available for electronic conferencing was warranted. The findings of this study may be used as a basis for further investigation on the challenges that might face the university if online learning were to be implemented. The success of the online conference is nevertheless significant within the context of the University of South Africa. It provides the opportunity to re-examine the current print-based delivery system, and to devise strategies and solutions to significantly increase the quality of learning within the organisation.

Management Educator

Very little is known on the subject of educators with Asperger’s syndrome (AS), and the available information pales in comparison to the enormous literature studying students with AS. While there are many resources for engaging students with AS, and increasing awareness of how AS affects student learning, discussions about the implications for teaching and learning from the instructor’s perspective are much harder to find. In this article, Professor Gundy Kaupins shares his thoughts and experiences related to the issues educators with AS face and offers an alternative lens to see the advantages that having AS can bring to the management education classroom. Professor Kaupins also offers ideas for behavioral solutions and considerations for future research. We finish with a commentary on the individual and institutional issues pertaining to disclosure of “differences” and invisible disability in the university classroom.

Clinical Reasoning Skills

Clinical reasoning is an essential part of medical practice and therefore should be an important part of clinical teaching. However, it has been and is still a challenge for clinical teachers to support learners in the development of their clinical reasoning skills. As learners progress in clerkship, so do their learning needs. As a result, teachers need multiple tools to foster the development of clinical reasoning and should know when and why to use them. This article presents tools gathered as part of a clinical teacher's toolbox aimed at coaching learners towards the next step in their clinical reasoning development as well as helping teachers diagnose clinical reasoning difficulties and meet the diverse learning needs of their learners. The article focuses on three tools that were developed by faculty at the University of Sherbrooke Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences: the iSNAPPS-OMP Technique, the Anticipatory Supervision Technique and the Clinical Sudoku or table of discriminating clues. This article uses the term ‘tools’ as a generic expression to signify ‘items in a toolbox’. It includes all kinds of resources (techniques, strategies, models) that were gathered to help clinical teachers with the teaching of clinical reasoning.

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in learning is kind of innovation in education. Several studies have shown that the application of ICT is able to improve students' competence and satisfaction with subject studied and enhancing the ability of both subjects and graduate levels. A developing university must be able to apply ICT in teaching and learning. One of a developing university in Indonesia is Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa (Untirta). The subject of this research is a student of Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of Untirta. The main purpose of the research is to know the readiness of lecturer and college student in using ICT integrated into the learning process. Based on research it is known that both of lecturers and students have the readiness to adopt integrated ICT in the learning process. The main problem that arises from lecturers is the lack of lecturers' skills in using technology. While the problems that arise from students is the need for a free internet connection. Therefore, the university has to provide the training for the lecturers and provide free connections for the students.

Esta investigación tiene por objeto evaluar las competencias curriculares del alumnado del Grado en Educación Infantil, tras cursar las asignaturas de Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales. Para ello, nos centramos en examinar dos indicadores principales: si emplea de forma apropiada el principio de globalidad que debe presidir los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de esta etapa, y si reconoce e identifica el contenido social curricular. Siguiendo una metodología cualitativa y empleando los programas informáticos Nvivo 11 y Pajek 5.07, se han analizado contenidos textuales generados por 224 alumnos y alumnas, procedentes de ISEN (Universidad de Murcia) y de la Universidad de Málaga, a quienes se les pidió que, a partir de la elección de un contenido social del currículo, propusieran una situación de aprendizaje integrado. Los resultados nos muestran dificultades tanto en la identificación de las temáticas específicamente sociales, como en la conexión entre contenidos de las distintas áreas del currículo. En consecuencia, se revela necesario un tratamiento más exhaustivo de estos aspectos desde el ámbito de la Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales, que implique un mejor conocimiento y delimitación de lo “social” por parte del futuro profesorado de Educación Infantil.   The objective of this research is to evaluate the curricular competences of the students of the Degree in Preschool Education, after having completed the subject of Social Sciences Education. In order to achieve this purpose, we focus on examining two indicators: if the students adequately use the principle of globality that should preside over the teaching and learning processes of the preschool stage; and if they recognizes and identifies the curricular social content. For this, from a qualitative methodological approach, we have used the software Nvivo 11 and Pajek64 5.07, to analyze the textual contents generated by 224 students from ISEN (University of Murcia) and the University of Málaga. All of them were asked to choose a social content of the curriculum and to propose an integrated learning situation based on it. The research results show us difficulties in the identification of specifically social issues, and in the connection between contents of the different areas of the curriculum. Consequently, it is evident that a more exhaustive treatment of these aspects is necessary from the scope of the Social Sciences Education, which implies a better knowledge and delimitation of the social content by the future preschool teachers.
