A Value-Achievement-Cost (VAC) Survey was psychometrically tested to continue to establish its predictive utility for future research with 12th grade female Career and Technical Education (CTE) health science classroom cohorts of less than 50 students. In this study, a 10-construct, 46-item VAC Survey was administered to 31 college-bound 12th grade female students who had self-selected themselves to participate in a year-long, dual enrollment, CTE health science program. The VAC Survey was used to measure student motivation associated with science in general, health sector science learning, and playing health sciences-related games. Convergent validity was established in nine of the ten constructs by comparing the Cronbach alpha coefficients of the 10-construct, 46-item VAC Survey compared to the same instrument previously tested with a similar CTE health science student cohort (n = 37). Internal consistency for these nine VAC Survey constructs were strong with Cronbach alpha coefficients between 0.80 and 0.93. This study has provided additional psychometric evidence that reinforces the VAC Survey's construct validity and internal consistency. The study further supports the predictive utility of the instrument to measure 12th grade female CTE health sciences student motivation associated with science in general, health sector science learning, and playing health sciences-related games.

Background. There is a gap in our understanding of the determinants of individual student variation of perceived cost longitudinally in high-effort educational activities within self-selected, context-specific academic domains using the Expectancy-Value framework. At present, an instrument to conduct such research on the motivational dynamics of students who choose to persist in high cost behaviors to achieve mastery in health sciences multi-level simulation-based-games is lacking. Method. In this study, a 10-construct, 46-item Value-Achievement-Cost (VAC) student motivation survey was administered on two separate occasions to 44 12th grade students who had self-selected to participate in a year-long, dual enrollment, health-sciences, Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. The VAC survey was used to measure motivation associated with science in general, health sector science learning, and playing health sciences-related games. Results. Convergent validity was established in five of the ten constructs by comparing the α coefficients of the modified 10-construct, 46-item VAC survey compared to three source instruments previously tested in dissimilar STEM student populations. Internal consistency for each of the 10 VAC survey constructs were strong with α coefficients between 0.82 and 0.90. The VAC survey exhibited reliability between the two administration timepoints with statistically significant nonparametric correlation coefficients in forty-four of the 46-items tested displaying strong monotonic relationships between 0.30 and 0.79. Conclusion. This study has provided the psychometric evidence needed so that the VAC survey can be confidently used to assess cost-related motivational dynamics in longitudinal health science multi-level simulation-based-games. An experimental intervention correlating VAC survey measures with health-science students’ achievement in a simulation-based, multi-level game is proposed. Students’ value, achievement, and cost motivation, related to level achievement, may lead to a better understanding of which health-science game design elements encourage learners to independently persist to mastery.

The Cost

Technologies are changing very fast and data has an impact on the change of technology and development of world. Data are obtained by social media, the Internet and mobile technologies. For years, academics, researchers and companies utilize some sources and information to analyze them for their studies and jobs. Increasing usage of mobile devices, social networks, electronic records of customers in public and private sectors have led to increase in data. Obtained massive amount of data is called big data. There are a lot of description of big data in the literature, but simply it can be said that; big data is the data which have a massive size and can be obtained from every environment. One of these environment is health environment and it has grown fastly through that huge amount of data exist in this sector like patients’ electronic health record. Health sector has a high cost and decision will be taken as soon as possible and correctly in this sector in which timing is critically important. In this manner, the usage of big data in health is important to increase the quality of service, innovative health operations and decrease the cost. In this study, a brief review of literature has done for the use of big data in health sciences for last five years. Big data’s content, methods, advantages and difficulties are discussed in this review study. Keywords: Health science, Big data, Medicine, data mining

This paper considers the current status of physical education and sport science in Indonesia from the perspective of the development of the professional knowledge base and research culture surrounding its practice. It seeks to place the field’s development within the broader context of international sport studies from 1945 to 2020. It identifies as major influences the process of globalisation and the growth of international sport as a significant political and economic entity. Physical education is acknowledged as a common historical base for the three modern strands within contemporary sports studies – medical /and health science, high performance studies, and sports business management. Future developments are considered in the context of the current pandemic. Covid19 and the world’s response to it has impacted on some key dimensions which underpin the current global sports economy – namely easy and convenient travel and the gathering of crowds in the widespread consumption of live sport. It is suggested that this might cause a major reset in the conduct of elite sport and sport festivals. The continuing growth of the physical activity and health sector is predicted and in the context of the serious challenges facing the sporting sector a case is made for increased resources to be moved back into the educational study and practice of sport and physical activity as a universal good.

Ethical Approval

Abstract Background Previous studies have indicated that failure to report ethical approval is common in health science articles. In social sciences, the occurrence is unknown. The Swedish Ethics Review Act requests that sensitive personal data, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), should undergo independent ethical review, irrespective of academic discipline. We have explored the adherence to this regulation. Methods Using the Web of Science databases, we reviewed 600 consecutive articles from three domains (health sciences with and without somatic focus and social sciences) based on identifiable personal data published in 2020. Results Information on ethical review was lacking in 12 of 200 health science articles with somatic focus (6%), 21 of 200 health science articles with non-somatic focus (11%), and in 54 of 200 social science articles (27%; p < 0.001 vs. both groups of health science articles). Failure to report on ethical approval was more common in (a) observational than in interventional studies (p < 0.01), (b) articles with only 1–2 authors (p < 0.001) and (c) health science articles from universities without a medical school (p < 0.001). There was no significant association between journal impact factor and failure to report ethical approval. Conclusions We conclude that reporting of research ethics approval is reasonably good, but not strict, in health science articles. Failure to report ethical approval is about three times more frequent in social sciences compared to health sciences. Improved adherence seems needed particularly in observational studies, in articles with few authors and in social science research.
