Help or Hindrance – the Value of Field Trips as a Form of Experiential Learning for Social Work Students
Authors: McMillan Colleen , Smith Aaron
Published: December 2023

Field trips to augment in class learning hold valuable learning opportunities and can be transformative when observing context is important to understanding complex issues such as mental health and addiction. However, student reflections papers written after participating in the field trip were reviewed over a five-year period and identified that this form of experiential learning also resulted in harm to some social work students. Using a phenomenological approach (van Manen, 1990) to secondary data analysis, 53 papers identified four clusters of meanings related to discomfort, appreciation/ambivalence/regret, personal experiences of trauma and power. These individual experiences collectively raised larger questions around social work pedagogy and how educators should prepare students when confronted with distressing situations. We wondered to what degree witnessing such conditions became either a transformative experience as described by Rone (2008) or re-enacted individual experiences of past trauma. With field experience a pedagogical cornerstone to a career in Social Work, we advocate for ethically balancing between safeguarding students from feeling acute distress or re-experiencing trauma as a result of field trips, while ensuring they are professionally prepared to enter the profession upon graduation.
Lessons Learned from a Discipline-Specific Language Support Initiative for Multilingual Students (MLSs) in a Foundational Course in Health Sciences: A Mixed-Methods Case Study from a Western Canadian University
Authors: Myint Tun , Fraser-Hevlin Breanna , Niosco Chris
Published: December 2023

This mixed methods explanatory case study intends to explain low utilization of a joint initiative to improve language skills targeted to English as an additional language (EAL)/multilingual students (MLSs) in a disciplinary context. Considering the importance of discipline-specific language and literacy skills, a university health sciences faculty and an English language learning centre at a western Canadian University collaborated on a joint initiative to support EAL/MLSs. Language support services, such as an extra semester-long adjunct language tutorial, drop-in language services, and language support files uploaded on the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) were provided for students enrolled in a first-year introductory-level health sciences course. A comparison of a pre-test and post-test Post-Entry Language Assessment (PELA) revealed improvements in both writing skills and perceived language skills. However, the discovery of the underutilization of language support services prompted a sequential explanatory mixed methods case study to identify learners’ reasons for low participation. Findings from the quantitative survey and qualitative interviews are shared along with recommendations for improving language support service utilization.

Published: December 2023

Developing as a scholar is a critical aspect of graduate school. In this article, we use an autoethnographic approach to explore our experiences in a newly redeveloped interdisciplinary graduate course. The course was designed to emphasize interdisciplinary scholarship and to encourage students’ awareness of their own developing epistemological, ontological, and axiological commitments. In this paper, we identify themes that arose from the final class paper, in which the students/researchers reflected on our development as emerging scholars. Through this course we developed an understanding of the value of interdisciplinarity, the cultural embeddedness of knowledge, and our own responsibilities as researchers in relation to social structures of power and marginalization. Our analyses of our experiences suggests that reflections on our own positionality and axiology are important for developing our identities as emerging scholars and that becoming a scholar may be more about the process than an end goal. We conclude with a discussion of how our learning in this course may be relevant for other instructors and emerging scholars.
Using Q-Methodology to Evaluate Student Perceptions of Online Anatomy in the Time of COVID-19
Authors: Saini Jessica , Brewer-Deluce Danielle , Akhtar-Danesh Noori , Saraco Anthony N. , Bayer Ilana , Pitt Courtney , Wainman Bruce
Published: December 2023

Pursuant to pedagogical changes necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, this study was designed to determine which aspects of an online anatomy course students most preferred and most disliked using Q-methodology. Data were collected in fall 2020 and winter 2021, and 166 student responses were analyzed via by-person factor analysis. Three distinct subgroups were identified: Group 1 (n=66) reported being comfortable with the technology skills required for studying anatomy online; Group 2 (n=50) reported dissatisfaction with several elements of course delivery, including evaluations, laboratory assignments, and the amount of lecture content, believing that they were essentially “teaching [themselves]”; Group 3 (n=29) was characterized by being happy with tutorial activities and the guidance received from teaching assistants. Common to all groups was the preference for physical rather than virtual specimens and for faculty-made practice questions as opposed to the overwhelming number of online specimens available for review. There was an overall positive attitude shift among students regarding online delivery across semesters. Given ongoing uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, these findings provide important considerations for future potential online/blended classes on anatomy education.
The Influence of Two-Stage Collaborative Testing on Peer Relationships: A Study of First-Year University Student Perceptions
Authors: Rempel Brian , McGinitie Elizabeth , Dirks Maria
Published: December 2023

Two-stage testing is a form of collaborative assessment that creates an active learning environment during test taking. In two-stage testing, students first complete an exam individually, and then complete a subset of the same questions as part of a learning team with the ultimate exam score being a weighted average of the individual and team portions. In the second (team-based) part of the exam, students are encouraged to discuss solutions until a consensus among team members is achieved, thus actively engaging students with course material and each other during the exam. A short open-ended survey was administered to students at the end of the semester, and the responses coded by thematic analysis, with themes generated using inductive coding based on the principles of grounded theory. The most important conclusion was that students overwhelmingly preferred two-stage tests for the development of positive peer relationships in class. The most common themes that emerged from student responses involved positive feelings from forced interaction with their peers, the benefits of meeting and socializing with other students, sharing of knowledge with others, and solidarity or positive affect towards the process of working as part of a team. Finally, students also expressed an overall preference for two-stage exams when compared to solely individual, one-stage exams.

Published: December 2023

Some university students face barriers to learning in physical classrooms, while others are reluctant to return to in-person learning environments because of COVID-19. Hybrid-flexible (HyFlex) learning environments give students the option to participate in-person or virtually, but there are concerns about student engagement and success. In this pre-pandemic study, we conducted a program-wide survey to explore student perceptions of and experiences with a HyFlex teaching and learning platform (n=238). Our survey data revealed that 86.17% of students find features of this platform helpful when accessing, engaging with, and learning course content. This was particularly true among students who reported having a flexible learning need. We also compared engagement with the HyFlex teaching and learning platform (calculated as a score out of 100 based on attendance and participation in interactive slides) and final grades between students who chose to participate predominantly in-person or online in two HyFlex offerings during the 2019/20 academic year. We found no significant difference in engagement or final grade between in-person dominant and online dominant learners in either course. We found a moderate correlation between engagement and final grade in both courses, such that highly engaged students achieved high grades regardless of their preferred mode of attendance. Our findings suggest that giving students the option to learn in-person or virtually from class to class does not negatively affect engagement or success and may in fact support success among students with flexible learning needs. As Canadian universities emerge from the pandemic, our findings remind us to retain the flexibility that virtual teaching and learning affords to support our diverse student bodies.
Tutor Perceptions of a University Writing Centre’s Program of Skills Development for Supporting Multilingual Students using English as an Additional Language
Authors: Landry Michael Henry , Pilin Maya , Brobbel Amanda , Douglas Scott Roy
Published: December 2023

With growing numbers of multilingual students who have first or primary languages other than English seeking the services of Canadian university writing centres where English is the language of instruction, providing these students with supportive and effective teaching and learning experiences is an important part of their post-secondary education. However, little research has been carried out to examine the impact of writing centre tutor skill development programs to foster meaningful teaching and learning experiences for multilingual students. This qualitative study employed focus group research methods to gather the writing centre tutors’ shared perceptions of their skill development opportunities for working with multilingual students. Data were coded and analyzed using a thematic approach. Findings point to multilingual student expectations, tutoring challenges, program effectiveness, and program applicability as elements that impact the tutors’ overall impressions of the skill development opportunities they encountered. While there were still areas for improvement, implementing a program of skill development for working with multilingual students in a writing centre was generally beneficial for the tutors in this study.
Informing Inclusive Practice in Post-Secondary Environments: Perspectives of Post-Secondary Instructors with Learning Disabilities
Authors: Gadsden Amy Domenique , Goegan Lauren Denise
Published: December 2023

This paper offers post-secondary instructors an opportunity to think about teaching practices and strategies for meaningful inclusion of students with learning disabilities (SLD) in post-secondary environments (PSE). Utilizing the narratives of the authors and building on the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), it provides recommendations for effective inclusive pedagogy for instructors to consider. These recommendations are framed by the three main UDL guidelines of multiple means of engagement, representation, and of action and expression (CAST, 2011). By approaching teaching and assessment in this way, instructors may engage learners authentically, thus reducing the potential for disengagement and subsequent underachievement. This may also facilitate an equitable environment where students can participate in meaningful ways. Finally, instructors may have more time available in class to address student questions and provide support.
Developing and Implementing a Blended Faculty Teaching Mentorship Program: A Canadian Pilot Project
Authors: Hellemans Kim G. C. , Horn Wayne , Kazmierski Vincent , Mullally Martha , Harris Eileen
Published: December 2023

This article presents the results of the development and implementation of a mentorship program, now in its sixth year, designed to support the professional development of teaching skills for faculty and contract instructors. The program is unique in that it is a combination of a variety of other approaches such as formal and informal mentoring as well as intra-departmental and interdepartmental mentoring. This model incorporates the effective elements of a mentor program as identified in the literature, while eschewing the traditional model of one-to-one mentoring between senior and junior colleagues. The findings to date, which include more support for teaching after participating in the project as well as an increase in the amount of faculty accessing a mentor, indicate that the program is achieving its intended goals and should continue. The authors provide recommendations and suggestions for the inclusion of a teaching mentorship program at other institutions within (or outside of) Canada.

A vueltas con la violencia religiosa, la tolerancia, el islam y el fanatismo: de la España medieval al mundo actual y viceversa. Notas a propósito de tres aportaciones teóricas recientes
Authors: Cabello Llano Ignacio
Published: December 2023

En este artículo presentamos al público hispanoparlante tres recientes aportaciones del historiador e islamólogo Adrien Candiard: En finir avec la tolérance? Différences religieuses et rêve andalou (2014); Comprendre l’islam. Ou plutôt : pourquoi on n’y comprend rien (2016), y Du fanatisme. Quand la religion est malade (2020). Pese a no ser propiamente libros de historia medieval, sino ensayos interpretativos, los juzgamos de interés para el medievalista. Primero, porque el autor, especialista en teología islámica medieval, dialoga continuamente con las tradiciones cristiana e islámica medievales para elaborar los marcos teóricos desde los que analizar los fenómenos planteados. Segundo, porque muchos medievalistas han de vérselas continuamente, tanto en sus investigaciones como en su docencia, con fenómenos religiosos como los abordados por Candiard (relaciones entre cristianismo e islam, violencia religiosa, tolerancia, fanatismo, etc.) para cuya adecuada comprensión a menudo carecen de ciertas claves de interpretación como las que aquí ofrece el autor.

Published: December 2023

Benigna Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) merupakan kondisi dimana kelenjar prostat mengalami pembesaran. Penyakit tersebut hanya dialami oleh pria dan mengakibatkan aliran urin tidak lancar bahkan penderita mengalami kesulitan buang air kecil (BAK) serta merasakan BAK tidak tuntas. Pembedahan atau operasi prostat merupakan tindakan yang dapat mengatasi BPH. Namun tidak jarang penderita mengalami inkontinensia urin pasca operasi karena adanya ketidakstabilan otot kandung kemih akibat dari mengidap BPH yang kronik. Penderita perlu diberikan latihan mengembalikan pola berkemih kembali normal melalui bladder training. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh bladder training secara dini terhadap kejadian inkontinensia urin pada penderita post operasi BPH. Metode yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah quasi experiment post test only design dengan kelompok kontrol. Jumlah responden 30 orang laki-laki post operasi BPH tanpa komplikasi dipilih melalui purposive sampling dan dibagi menjadi dua kelompok yaitu kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol. Data hasil penelitian dianalisis menggunakan uji non parametrik Mann Withneydiperoleh p=0,001 (p<0,05) yang artinya terdapat pengaruh signifikan antara implementasi bladder training terhadap kejadian inkontinensia urin pada pasien post operasi BPH. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, bladder training direkomendasikan untuk diterapkan secara dini pada perawatan pasien post BPH untuk mengurangi kejadian inkontinesia urin.Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which the prostate gland is enlarged. The disease is only experienced by men and leads to inadequate flow of urine even those who have difficulty urinating and feel not full. Surgery or prostate surgery is a measure that can deal with BPH. However, it is not uncommon for patients to experience post-operative urinary incontinence due to the instability of the bladder muscles due to chronic BPH suffering. The sufferers need to be trained to restore the normal movement pattern through bladder training. The study aims to analyze the influence of early bladder training on the incidence of urinary incontinence in patients with post operation BPH. The method used in this study is quasi experiment post test only design with the control group. The total number of respondents 30 men post BPH surgery without complications was selected through purposive sampling and divided into two groups namely the treatment and control groups. The results of the study were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann Withney test p=0,001 (p<0,05) which means that there is a significant influence between implementation of bladder training on the incidence of urinary incontinence in patients after BPH surgery. Based on these results, bladder education is recommended to be applied early in the treatment of patients post BPH to reduce the incidence of urine inkontinence

Published: December 2023

Low back pain (LBP) is defined as pain that appears between the costal margin and inferior gluteal folds for more than one day, which can be accompanied by leg pain or numbness. Often,  this pain is acute and radiates to the buttocks or thighs. LBP is caused by a farmer's poor body position when working, so it can affect performance and results. A working duration that is too long and exceeds the body's capacity can also increase the risk of LBP in farmers. This think about points to decide the relationship between over-the-top work term and non-ergonomic working positions in rice ranchers with lower back pain. The literature search process in this literature review uses three databases: Google Scholar, Scient Direct, and Pubmed, with a publication year range of 2017–2023. The search was carried out using several keywords in English and Indonesian. From all the search results, ten articles match the research criteria and can be continued to the analysis stage. The study's findings found a relationship between work term, work position, and the rate of LBP in farmers.

Published: December 2023

Peternakan ayam broiler merupakan salah satu sektor yang mendukung ketahanan pangan di Indonesia. Trend populasi ayam broiler di Indonesia khususnya Provinsi Jawa Tengah cenderung naik pada 5 tahun terakhir. Meski demikian, peternakan ayam ini juga menjadi tempat kerja bagi sebagian kalangan yang berisiko terpapar gas berbahaya di kandang, contohnya berupa: NH3, H2S, N2O, PM, VOC, dan lainnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian cross-sectional dengan sampel berupa 80 pekerja peternakan ayam broiler yang tersebar pada 3 tipe kandang (openhouse, semi-closed, dan closed house) dari  8 kecamatan di kabupaten Banyumas Jawa Tengah. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner standar BMRC dan konsentrasi amonia diukur menggunakan Ammonia Smart Gas Detector AR 8500. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komparasi konsentrasi kadar amonia pada 3 tipe kandang memiliki p-value=0,89. Adapun p-value korelasi antara usia, masa kerja, dan durasi kerja terhadap gangguan pernapasan secara berturut-turut adalah: 0,44; 0,004; 1,000. Kesimpulannya, ada hubungan yang signifikan antara usia dan masa kerja dengan gangguan pernapasan, dan tidak ada hubungan signifikan antara durasi kerja per hari dan kadar NH3 terhadap gangguan pernapasan pekerja.

El proyecto tiene múltiples frutos interdisciplinarios y este libro es uno de ellos, donde se abordan problemáticas latentes en el municipio de Viesca y en la Comarca Lagunera, y proponen soluciones para resolverlos con el conocimiento construido socialmente en el CAHCTUS. También presentamos conferencias que fueron vehículo de divulgación de la ciencia, producto de difusión entre pares, y que lograron comunicarse en la práctica exitosamente a la comunidad. La construcción social del conocimiento desarrollado en El CAHCTUSS, de forma presencial, garantiza su acceso universal mediante la difusión, comunicación e interacción con la comunidad en redes sociales y digitales.
