Background: Cross-cultural care and antidiscrimination are vital to ethical effective health systems. Nurses require quality educational preparation in cross-cultural care and antidiscrimination. Limited evidence-based research is available to guide teachers. Objectives: To develop, implement and evaluate an evidence-based teaching and learning approach in cross-cultural care and antidiscrimination for undergraduate nursing students. Design: A quantitative design using pre- and post-survey measures was used to evaluate the teaching and learning approach. Settings: The Bachelor of Nursing program in an Australian university. Participants: Academics and second year undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A literature review and consultation with academics informed the development of the teaching and learning approach. Thirty-three students completed a survey at pre-measures and following participation in the teaching and learning approach at post-measures about their confidence to practice cross-cultural nursing (Transcultural Self-efficacy Tool) and about their discriminatory attitudes (Quick Discrimination Index). Results: The literature review found that educational approaches that solely focus on culture might not be sufficient in addressing discrimination and racism. During consultation, academics emphasised the importance of situating cross-cultural nursing and antidiscrimination as social determinants of health. Therefore, cross-cultural nursing was contextualised within primary health care and emphasised care for culturally diverse communities. Survey findings supported the effectiveness of this strategy in promoting students' confidence regarding knowledge about cross-cultural nursing. There was no reported change in discriminatory attitudes. The teaching and learning approach was modified to include stronger experiential learning and role playing. Conclusions: Nursing education should emphasise cross-cultural nursing and antidiscrimination. The study descri

Aim: This scoping review aimed to explore the interprofessional curriculum content and teaching approaches specific to wound care education in baccalaureate health courses internationally. Background: Interprofessional education is defined as occurring when future health practitioners learn with, from and about each other with the goal of improving health outcomes. The management of wounds is a global public health issue with the World Health Organization recognising wound care is best managed by an interprofessional team. The preparedness of health professional graduates to engage in interprofessional education is essential to design and deliver coordinated health services that are person-centred and improve health outcomes. There is a lack of evidence however about how to prepare baccalaureate students in an interprofessional context, specifically in wound care. Design: A scoping review was conducted using the framework of Arksey and O'Malley and reported using the PRISMA checklist for scoping reviews. Methods: A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted in MEDLINE (via EBSCOhost), CINAHL PLUS (via EBSCOhost), Pubmed and Embase databases published between 2012 and October 2023. Reference lists of included studies were also searched. Studies which were peer reviewed, written in English with a focus on interprofessional education in wound care were included in the review. The process of reviewing titles and abstracts was conducted by two independent reviewers. Data were extracted, key characteristics mapped and a narrative analysis of findings was reported. Results: Three studies were included in this review. All the reviewed papers reported collaborative learning activities between different health professional groups relating to wound care, although there was no consistent approach to what wound care content was delivered or how it was delivered. Only one study reported that the delivery of content was completed by staff from multiple professional group

Faculty surveys and student focus groups (FG) addressed definitions, strategies, and barriers to teaching *** and conclusionsSixty-four (51.6%) faculty completed the survey, and 34 students participated in FGs. Among faculty, 54.0% (34/63) reported explicitly teaching CT;but students suggested teaching CT was predominantly implicit. Faculty-reported strategies differed among schools. Faculty defined CT in process terms such as 'analyzing';students defined CT in terms of viewpoints and biases. Our results reveal a lack of explicit, shared CT mental models between faculty and students and across professional schools. Explicit teaching of CT may help develop a shared language and lead to better understanding and application of the skills and dispositions necessary to succeed in professional life.

Concept maps are graphic representations that learners draw to depict their understanding of the meaning of a set of concepts. Concept maps can be a useful learning strategy in medical education. The purpose of this guide is to provide an understanding of the theoretical basis and instructional use of concept mapping in health professions education. The guide describes the key elements of a concept map and underscores the critical components of the implementation process, from the introduction of the activity to the use of different mapping techniques, based on purpose and context. This guide also examines the learning opportunities offered by collaborative concept mapping, including co-construction of knowledge, and provides suggestions for the use of concept mapping as an assessment for learning. Implications for the use of concept mapping as a tool for remediation are mentioned. Finally, the guide describes some of the challenges related to the implementation of this strategy.

Multimodal learning Analytics (MMLA) aims to support evidence-based educational practices by collecting, processing, analyzing and sense-making of multimodal evidence of learning. MMLA is not widespread yet and there are few tailored MMLA solutions to meet the requirements of a specific learning scenario. This PhD project investigates the main challenges behind the limited development of MMLA solutions and proposes an MMLA infrastructure as the main contribution. The proposed infrastructure includes three components - a data value chain, a data model and a software architecture. The overall project follows the design-based research methodology where multiple iterations are involved to refine the contributions.

Deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for teaching and learning affords learners' flexibility in learning such that they can learn as individuals or groups. The dissemination of information by lecturers to learners will also be facilitated by the use of ICT. The University of Ibadan designed a courseware development programme for 20 female lecturers to improve the use of technology for teaching and research. Data was collected using a questionnaire, interview and secondary data. Results revealed that the lecturers found the programme very relevant, appropriate but demanding. The major challenges were limited access to some of the technologies, fluctuation in internet connectivity and poor ICT literacy skills. Improvement in the level of ICT use requires the development of relevant infrastructure and ICT literacy training which were identified as critical for its successful deployment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how assessment instruments could be used in the college biology classroom for purposes other than researching instructional strategies (as they have been used in the past). Through participatory action research, a science educator and a biology faculty member examined how the CINS (Concept Inventory of Natural Selection) could be incorporated into the biology faculty member's classroom instruction. This paper shows that biology faculty members can use assessment instruments to build in-class activities and labs, to formatively assess student knowledge, and to confront student misconceptions. Several recommendations for incorporating assessment instruments in biology instruction and assessment are provided.

Going from wired to wireless takes vision, planning, and implementation. A new or existing facility with a wireless environment allows faculty and learners to access resources anytime and anywhere. teaching and learning becomes more flexible, as do educational programs. The number of mobile computing users is increasing. A shift towards anywhere, anytime computing is in full swing. Faculty and students see added benefits to this evolution. The ability to use mobile computing devices on or off campus communicating via wireless is changing the way we teach and learn. In fact the training needs in the Renewable Resources Sector of Western Canada have been changing with the incorporation of wireless technology into their business model. A response to these training needs has been implemented within the Forest Technology Program at The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. The "Forestry students are now working exclusively from mobile computers within a wireless network structure. In the field and in the classroom, infrastructure and training have been enhanced for wireless delivery. This change has been embraced by students, faculty, and employers and points the way for further deployment into other program areas."

This paper offers a discussion of some of the attitudes towards teaching and learning in Thai nursing education. It illustrates the strict, hierarchical set of relationships that exist between people throughout all aspects of Thai society. It then relates these relationships to those between teachers and students of nursing and how those relationships effect the ways in which students receive and deal with knowledge. Other attitudes towards learning, communication and student/lecturer relationships are also noted. It is hoped that the paper helps those, in other cultures, to reflect on their own practices.
