A conceptual model for hospitality education is presented with a focus on testing an active learning theory by using the Felder-Soloman (2001) Index of learning Styles (ILS). The ILS and the four dimensions, active-reflective, sensing-intuitive, visual-verbal, and sequential- global, are discussed. A total of 365 participants responded to the ILS and overall results found that the students were active learners. The outcomes of the ILS were active, sensing, visual, and sequential learners. Once the results were completed, it could then be applied to the Green and Sammons (2013) Hospitality Learners model. The model, which includes several different "layers"-andragogy, instructional design systems, learning theories (peer, active, and experiential), technology, and evaluation-is discussed.

The aim of this work was to use the theory and concepts of critical reflection in the development of a teaching model to enhance the learning approach to reflective practice for health professionals. The results of this initial stage of a larger project have identified the key challenges for health professionals learning about reflective practice. From the literature a model for teaching critical reflection was conceptualized. It begins with an exploration of self and values, moves students through a dialogue with peers, and explores the social and historical contexts of practice. Conclusions drawn from this work show that despite the agenda in healthcare to bridge the theory-practice gap, when focusing on critical reflection students struggle with professional, legal and ethical issues much more than they do with empirical ones. Our work has aimed to design a course of study that facilitates students’ development in critical reflection in order to promote their empowerment and capacity for change. We believe that reflective practice that is aimed at empowering individuals within their own practice has the potential to engage the learner, as well as provide improved health outcomes.

VR technologies, offering powerful immersion and rich interaction, have gained great interest from researchers and practitioners in the field of education. However, current learning theories and models either mainly take into account the technology perspectives, or focus more on the pedagogy. In this paper, we propose a learning model benefiting from both the Human-Computer Interaction aspects and pedagogical aspects. This model takes full account of the impact of different factors including pedagogical contexts, VR roles and scenarios, and output specifications, which would be combined to inform the design and realize VR education applications. Based on this model, we design and implement an educational application of computer assembly under virtual reality using HTC Vive, which is a headset providing immersion experience. To analyze users’ learning behaviors and evaluate their performance and experience, we conduct an evaluation with 32 college students as participants. We design a questionnaire including usability tests and emotion state measures. Results showed that our proposed learning model gave a good guidance for informing the design and use of VR-supported learning application. The use of the natural interaction not only makes the learning interesting and fosters the engagement, but also improves the construction of knowledge in practices.

Background: Numerous studies have identified risk factors for physical restraint (PR) use in older adults in long-term care facilities. Nevertheless, there is a lack of predictive tools to identify high-risk individuals. Objective: We aimed to develop machine learning (ML)-based models to predict the risk of PR in older adults. Methods: This study conducted a cross-sectional secondary data analysis based on 1026 older adults from 6 long-term care facilities in Chongqing, China, from July 2019 to November 2019. The primary outcome was the use of PR (yes or no), identified by 2 collectors' direct observation. A total of 15 candidate predictors (older adults' demographic and clinical factors) that could be commonly and easily collected from clinical practice were used to build 9 independent ML models: Gaussian Naive Bayesian (GNB), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), decision tree (DT), logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), multilayer perceptron (MLP), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and light gradient boosting machine (Lightgbm), as well as stacking ensemble ML. Performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, an F score, a comprehensive evaluation indicator (CEI) weighed by the above indicators, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). A net benefit approach using the decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed to evaluate the clinical utility of the best model. models were tested via 10-fold cross-validation. Feature importance was interpreted using Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP). Results: A total of 1026 older adults (mean 83.5, SD 7.6 years;n=586, 57.1% male older adults) and 265 restrained older adults were included in the study. All ML models performed well, with an AUC above 0.905 and an F score above 0.900. The 2 best independent models are RF (AUC 0.938, 95% CI 0.914-0.947) and SVM (AUC 0.949, 95% CI 0.911-0.953). The DCA demonstrated that the RF model displayed better clinical ut

learning-based models that capture travelers' day-to-day learning processes in repeated travel choices could benefit from ubiquitous sensors such as smartphones, which provide individual-level longitudinal data to help validate and improve such models. However, the common problem of missing initial observations in longitudinal data collection can lead to inconsistent estimates of perceived value of attributes in question, and thus inconsistent parameter estimates. In this paper, the stated problem is addressed by treating the missing observations as latent variables in an instance-based learning model that is estimated via maximum simulated likelihood (MSL). The MSL method is implemented in practice using random sampling and importance sampling. Monte Carlo experimentation based on synthetic data shows that both the MSL with random sampling (MSLrs) and MSL with importance sampling (MSLis) are effective in correcting for the endogeneity problem in that the percent error and empirical coverage of the estimators are greatly improved after the correction. Compared to the MSLrs method, the MSLis method is superior in both effectiveness and computational efficiency. Furthermore, MSLis passes a formal statistical test for the recovery of the population values up to a scale with a large number of missing observations, while MSLrs systematically fails due to the curse of dimensionality. The impacts of sampling size in MSLrs and number of high probability choice sequences in MSLis on the methods' performances are investigated the methods are applied to an experimental route-choice dataset to demonstrate their empirical application. Hausman-McFadden tests show that the estimators after correction are statistically equal to the estimators of the full dataset without missing observations, confirming that the proposed methods are practical and effective for addressing the stated problem.

This study aimed to measure the role of mind mapping in learning models to improve students' metacognitive skills. The study used a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design, involving 33 students of science teacher candidates, Science Education Study Program, Universitas Negeri Malang, Malang, Indonesia, for three meetings. The instruments used were a mind map assessment rubric and a metacognitive skills essay questions as many as 15 questions alongside with its assessment rubric. Students were given a pre-test before learning activities and the same post-test consists of essays related to metacognitive skills. Research data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively using a t-test and correlation analysis. The results showed: (1) there was increasing scores over mind mapping skills in the average by each meeting, namely score of 13.91 (Enough), 15.39 (Enough), and 18.18 (Good);(2) the paired t-test results showed the value of t = 9.196, with a significance of 0.000 <0.05;and (3) the results of the influence analysis of 0.552 showed that mind mapping with metacognitive skills was correlated by moderate criteria. To conclude, the mind mapping applied in the syntax of learning models can improve the metacognitive skills of students as science teacher candidates.

Nursing education has made a journey from being mainly clinic-based education to being education that is carried out at universities and university colleges. The journey from being clinical education to being a university education has likewise created a gap between theory and practice. In this article, the aim is to describe the learning model of Developing and learning Care Units (DLCU), based on caring science didactics with a lifeworld approach. To overcome the gap between theory and practice, students are supported by a reflective supervisory approach, to learn to take care of patients. Caring and learning are based on caring science with a lifeworld perspective to ensure caring and learning based on a holistic perspective that includes the individual patient and student.

With the rapid development of Internet technology, traditional online learning can no longer meet the adaptive learning needs of students. Through big data and learning analysis technology, artificial intelligence technology based on learning has gradually become a new research hotspot. How to further use these big data resources for adaptive learning and push to improve the quality of student training has become an important issue in the current research field. To support students' learning during the COVID-19 epidemic, schools have shifted completely from offline to online teaching. Students study online at home, so the family plays a vital role as a special classroom. Based on the analysis of factors affecting home-based learning, this paper compares live broadcast platforms and constructs a student-centered webcast + home-based learning model under the epidemic situation. Through the implementation effect investigation, the evaluation effect is good. It is hoped that this model can provide reference for teachers and students under the new situation and solve some problems of current online teaching.
