Authors: Benson Jenelle , Chaseling Marilyn , Emmanuel Elizabeth , Markopoulos Christos , Paredes Julie-Ann
Published: April 2022

More diversity is now shown in students gaining admission into universities, many who are ill-equipped for first-year studies and assessment writing. This can result in a failing grade for some, which can impact their success and progression. This study contributes to the student success literature by reporting on the six-step one-on-one targeted intervention strategy devised to support the 33 out of 500 students who were unsuccessful in their first university assessment and its resubmission. The study also details the theoretical framework that underpinned the subject—Carol Dweck’s growth mindset, Mezirow’s transformative learning theory, and the maxim “Your success is our goal”! The study determined that: i) the intervention was successful for the 33 students who each passed the assessment; ii) a pre- and post-intervention writing skills assessment showed an improvement of +0.67 to give an average of 3.48, where 3 is a pass, and iii) at interview, students (76.9%) reported their improved writing abilities and that the intervention support was helpful. The study concluded that failing students can be successful when they are encouraged to use a growth mindset and individually supported to develop their writing skills.
The state of Australasian online higher education post-pandemic and beyond
Authors: Sankey Michael
Published: April 2022

Online learning is not a new phenomenon that had just been discovered in March 2020, it has been developing very strongly for 20+ years. What is new is that we are now realising that what was conceived as being good online learning pedagogy is being challenged by many of the newer student-centred approaches that have evolved in learning and teaching. Not the least because the technologies now allow us to do way more in a more synchronous way, allowing students to work more collaboratively with others. Or maybe it’s more that we have rediscovered some activities that were harder to achieve in the past. Either way, what has also changed in higher education is the emphasis on the student and how providing them with a greater level of agency in their learning presents more traditional educators with new challenges. This paper presents some options for those looking to understand and meet those challenges head on.
A self-regulated learning management system: Enhancing performance, motivation and reflection in learning
Authors: Khiat Henry , Vogel Silke
Published: April 2022

Practising self-regulated learning is essential in one’s lifelong learning journey. As educators, we can assist our students to regulate their learning effectively, whether this is in an online learning environment or any other. However, many factors affect how well learners regulate their learning. Research reveals that self-regulated learning practices vary and warrant further exploration. This study specifically investigates how the guided practice of self-regulated learning behaviour affects learning in the online learning environment. To guide students in managing their learning more effectively, an automated self-regulated learning management system was developed. The system assists students in practising the cognitive, meta-cognitive and motivational aspects of self-regulated learning. 155 postgraduate students in two online healthcare-related courses were randomly selected to be involved in the study. Trace data from the self-regulated learning management system was used to triangulate the students’ self-reports in relation to their self-regulated learning behaviours. Non-parametric statistical tests were used in the analysis. Findings indicate that the use of the self-regulated learning management system facilitated and aided students in practising more effective self-regulated learning behaviours thus impacting positively on learning motivation and metacognitive reflection. However, its effect is inconclusive in relation to academic performance. In summary, positive changes were made to their self-regulated learning behaviours and these subsequently improved their self-regulation and related outcomes.

This teaching module integrated a guess – experiment – discussion approach with game-based instruction. The researchers piloted this module and made modifications. The work of 20 non-mathematics major undergraduate students was examined for changes in their perceptions about conditional probability through a pre-and-post survey design. The Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) taxonomy was used for data analysis to show the quality of the student work. Findings suggest that most students’ perceptions were at higher levels after the teaching module.
Are undergraduate students studying smart? Insights into study strategies and habits across a programme of study
Authors: Fergus Suzanne
Published: April 2022

The approach that students take in their studies at university is critical not only for their academic success but is equally important in life-long learning for their career and professional development. Heutagogy is the study of self-determined learning and it is important that we appraise how students in higher education are developing their metacognitive awareness in how they learn and study effectively. Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary research area that involves the scientific study of the human mind. It helps provide new knowledge in relation to areas such as memory, problem solving, knowledge transfer and understanding of complex topics. Cognitive science has demonstrated that re-testing oneself on material when learning, enhances and promotes greater retention of knowledge compared to re-reading the material. Learning that is distributed or spaced out over multiple study sessions also allows for greater retention of knowledge in the longer-term compared to ‘cramming’ of information. To evaluate the use of effective study approaches and habits across three different levels of study in an undergraduate pharmacy programme, a survey study was employed. A paper-based survey was completed by first-, second- and third-year undergraduate pharmacy students (n=192) during class sessions. Although there was some evidence of metacognitive awareness such as using testing (retrieval practice) with practice problems; across all years, suboptimal study approaches such as rereading, copying notes and cramming were endorsed. A schedule of deadlines shaped the organisation of study and time management for most students. Self-testing was predominantly used to test learning rather than an approach used during learning. There was evidence of a difference between the cohorts in relation to decisions for prioritizing studying, returning to review course material and re-reading. The evidence from this study demonstrates that learners would require training on metacognitive awareness and effective study strategies to enable their self-determined learning capabilities to evolve. The linear progression through a programme of study alone will not achieve this. There is a need to embed and emphasize effective strategies for learning into curricula and for faculty to utilise metacognitive awareness in their teaching.

Malnutrition is a leading cause of decreased school performance and an array of conditions, including delayed puberty. This study was conducted to assess the nutritional status and the serum testosterone, estradiol and prolactin levels in secondary school students aged 11-16 years. A total of 176 secondary school students within Calabar metropolis participated in this study of which 49.4% were male and 50.6% were female. The pubertal status—puberche, thelarche and menarche of the subjects were documented. Nutritional status was determined using standardized technique for anthropometry and WHO Anthroplus software. Sex hormone levels were assayed using ELISA. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS. Analysis of the results showed that 51% of the boys exhibited some degree of pubarche compared to 47.2% of the females. Thelarche and menarche were exhibited by 73% and 49.4% of girls respectively. A comparison of age, anthropometric indices, prolactin, estradiol and testosterone in male and female subjects in the study showed that girls had significantly higher body mass index (p = 0.023), estradiol (p = 0.0001) and prolactin (p=0.007) but significantly lowered testosterone (p=0.0001) compared to their male counterparts. There was however, no statistical significant difference (p>0.05) in the mean height and weight of both groups. The nutritional status in the study showed that 3.4% of the adolescents were stunted, 6.8% were wasting, 89.2% were normal, 3.4% were overweight while 0.6% were obese. The boys and girls had comparable frequencies of stunting, thinness/wasting, normal, overweight and obesity. Five adolescent girls and seven adolescent boys showed predisposition to delayed puberty. Poor nutritional status and low sex hormones were found to be predisposing factors for delayed puberty, and more male were so disposed.

Resultados: Foram identificados 22 artigos que responderam à estratégia de busca. Destes, 13 foram eliminados, restando 9 artigos para revisão.
Conclusões: A VNI pode levar a um colapso do sistema cardiovascular quando não realizada adequadamente. Pacientes com estado mental alterado são considerados contraindicação à VNI, e recomenda-se que esta não seja realizada em pacientes com Escala de Coma de Glasgow inferior a 10,34. Outros problemas relacionados à VNI são redução da salivação, escape de ar, falta de sincronia entre o paciente e o aparelho de ventilação artificial, formação de úlceras por pressão relacionadas à própria interface respiratória, além de distensão e desconforto gástrico.
Economic appraisal of Kewach (Mucuna pruriens) based agroforestry land-use systems in mid hills of Western Himalayas
Authors: Verma K. , Thakur N.
Published: April 2022

An experiment, on effect of tree-crop combinations and nitrogen levels on economic returns from Mucuna pruriens L. based Agroforestry Systems, was carried out during 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 in experimental farm of Department of Silviculture and Agroforestry, Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh. M. pruriens was grown in association with Prunus persica (Peach), Grewia optiva, Morus alba and Setaria sphacelata. Three nitrogen doses applied to M. pruriens were 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha. The net returns were calculated on financial (farmer’s land) and economic (rented land) basis. Mucuna seeds accrued maximum net financial returns of Rs. 20436/ha and 20286/ha, grown in association with Grewia and Setaria and Peach and Setaria, respectively. Application of nitrogen level from 40, 80 to 120 kg per hectare increased the yield of seed and hence the net returns giving maximum at 120 kg N/ha. Peach and setaria under Peach + Setaria + M. pruriens system gave maximum net returns to the tune of Rs. 38328/ha, followed by Peach, Morus and Setaria (Peach + Morus + Setaria + M. pruriens) giving Rs. 37052/ha. Total net financial returns from all components were maximum (Rs. 58614/ha) from Peach + Setaria + M. pruriens followed by Peach + Morus + Setaria + M. pruriens amounting to Rs. 56889/ha. Sole crop accrued minimum net returns (Rs. 20286/ha). The benefit cost ratio (B:C ratio) was maximum (2.41) for Peach + Setaria + M. pruriens, followed by Morus + Setaria + M. pruriens, whereas, sole crop of Mucuna gave minimum B:C ratio of 1.77. Thus, the net returns from Agroforestry Systems were higher as compared to sole crop. The nitrogen application increased the yield and hence net returns from intercrop also had similar effect. Thus, fruit based systems gave higher returns per rupee investment as compared to fodder based systems on farmer’s own land as well as if the entrepreneur is practicing these systems on rented land.

ANALISIS FAKTOR FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN KUALITAS TIDUR MAHASISWA STIKES AWAL BROS PEKANBARU
Authors: Abdul Zaky  , Wati Ani Riza
Published: April 2022

The quality of one's sleep can be influenced by several factors, including environmental conditions, physical, activity, and lifestyle. In the process of studying in tertiary institutions, students have various kinds of challenges. Students who have poor sleep quality will experience various problems both related to academic and non-academic activities. In general, the authors conclude that the independent variable simultaneously does not significantly influence the dependent variable. Exercise habits have no significant effect on sleep quality and the burden of college work has no significant effect on sleep quality. The independent variable can explain the dependent variable by 9.7%, while 90.3% is explained by other factors not included in the model. The resulting Linear Regression Model is Y (Sleep Quality) = 3.442 - 0.149 X1 + 0.230 X2. This explains that sleep quality decreases by 0.149 if exercise habits increase by one unit. In other words, any decrease in sleep quality requires exercise habits. Sleep quality decreases by 0.230 if the burden of college assignments rises by one unit. In other words, any decrease in sleep quality requires exercise habits.
