Verification of the Effectiveness of Education and Training by Triage of Multiple Casualties Using Mobile Virtual Practice

This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of mobile virtual practice and present a new training method to improve the ability of 119 paramedics to triage in the event of multiple casualties. A total of 24 of the 119 paramedics were selected as subjects, and the experiment was conducted by classifying 12 and 12 into mobile virtual practice and lecture explanation groups, respectively. Both groups performed triage evaluations before and after education and practice, and additional questionnaires were completed for mobile virtual practice. Both groups of virtual practice and course description showed significant differences between pre-assessment and post-assessment. In the control group (lecture), the accuracy (29.16) increased from 49.17 ± 18.32 in the pre-test to 78.33 ± 16.42 in the post-test (p = .001). In the experimental group (virtual practice), the accuracy (24.2) increased from 60.0 ± 23.7 in the pre-test to 84.2±13.8 in the post-test (p = .004). If face-to-face education and training are not possible, mobile virtual practice should be considered. Moreover, various educational programs that are engaging and effective are needed.

Prácticum virtual en Educación Física: entre pandemia e incertidumbre (Virtual prácticum in Physical Education: between the pandemic and uncertainty)

La situación sanitaria actual ha obstaculizado muchos procesos formativos de modalidad presencial impactando en las Prácticas de Síntesis Profesional (PSP), provocando que estudiantes finalicen su Proceso Formativo (PF) en la virtualidad. La investigación tuvo como objetivo conocer la percepción de estudiantes de Educación Física (EF) frente a la Práctica Virtual de Síntesis Profesional. La metodología tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo y la recolección de los datos fue a través de una encuesta de tipo descriptiva, aplicada a 47 egresados de EF de una universidad chilena durante el 2020. Se concluye que los egresados se encontraban preparados para los cambios que se presentaron durante la crisis sanitaria, aceptando la situación dada este año y adaptándose a ella, la cual debe considerarse como una oportunidad de innovación de la asignatura. Abstract .The current health situation has hampered many face-to-face training processes, affecting Professional Synthesis Practices (PSP) and causing students to complete their Training Process (TP) in virtually. The objective of the investigation was to know the perception of students regarding the Virtual Practice of Professional Synthesis. The methodology had a quantitative approach and the data was collected through a descriptive survey, applied to 47 Physical Education (PE) teachers who graduated from a Chilean university during 2020. It is concluded that the graduates were prepared to the changes that occurred during the health crisis, accepting the situation given this year and adapting to it, which should be considered as an opportunity for innovation in the subject.

Virtually Gendered: Materiality and Interface Design on Transnational Social Media

Feminist theorists have long critiqued the conceptual binaries that underpin western thought as mapping to gender. In the late 20th century, digital technologies seemed poised to rework the boundaries of divides such as public and private, self and Other, masculine and feminine, or virtual and real. Drawing on posthumanist, transfeminist, and new materialist approaches in feminist thought, I analyze digital media interfaces as material sites of enacting and producing gender. In my fieldwork with young, mobile, urban cosmopolitans in early 2000s Berlin, many contested conventional gender, in ways tied to class status, even as they navigated implicit understandings of gender in interface design. I argue that these technologies must be analyzed as material interfaces or surfaces through which gender is constructed discursively and materially. Feminist technology and design scholars ask how new technologies and interfaces can support alternative, non-hegemonic enactments of gendered selfhood, as a means to challenge and rework how gender is constructed in and through sociotechnical systems. But such interventions require asking what exactly gender is online, as a virtual practice that combines the material with the informational in new ways.
