Published: January 2021

Today proved that the cause of many diseases are unfavorable conditions for the development of the fetus in the womb, caused by exposure to pregnant the toxicants of exogenous nature, which include nicotine, and a violation of its feeding. However, the literature does not answer the question - what is the impact of smoking on pregnant thyropathies development in the offspring. In an experimental model of the combined effects of passive smoking and to reduce energy intake food rats during pregnancy found that their descendants are characterized by a high percentage of deaths in the first months of life, delay physical and sexual development, and at 6 months of age, one-third of the children observed obesity. At the same time, in the offspring of mothers treated with cigarette smoke and having a reduced power during pregnancy, disturbed the dynamics and character formation histostructure and hormonal activity of the thyroid gland. This characteristic becomes microfollicular type of gland structure with hyperthyroidization during puberty, which is replaced by a hypothyroid state, destruction of the parenchyma, the appearance of lymphoid infiltration.

Published: January 2021

Vitamins in the human body perform regulatory functions, determine the development, health and physical performance of the body. Most of them are not synthesised in the body, therefore they must be supplied with food. They interact with enzymes, which is why they are often called coenzymes or catalysts. Vitamins regulate many life processes. Their deficiency may cause disturbances in metabolic processes and promote the development of various types of diseases.

The aim of the work was to analyse the level of vitamin A content available on the Polish pharmaceutical market and dietary supplements.

Conceptualization of the phenomenon of ecological values as a basic notion for professional training of future natural sciences teachers
Authors: Rohoza Valentyn
Published: January 2021

The article conceptualizes the phenomenon of “ecological values”, which is the basis of educational and professional training of future teachers of natural sciences. The research focuses on identifying the system of values and their hierarchy in order to achieve at least two key results: 1) the formation of a higher level of a value sphere of future natural sciences teachers and improvement of the process of acquired values transfer; 2) improvement of learning outcomes (improvement in behavior, awareness, knowledge). Based on the extensive analysis of the scientific literature, the research suggests the meaningful characteristic of the formulated ecological values of the future natural sciences teachers. As a result, the research has considered the ecological values of future natural sciences teachers as an integrated value block in the system of their value orientations.

Authors: Rohoza Valentyn
Published: January 2021

The thesis that environmental problems are the most dangerous ones is widely recognized nowadays. In modern educational conditions, a teacher of natural sciences can be a promoter of ecological values. This makes relevant the need to develop new approaches to the training of teachers of this profile.

This study deals with the formation of eco-values of future natural sciences teachers and proposes a number of changes to the educational content of their training by involving the author’s educational and methodological developments – subject “Axiology”, special course “Axiological foundations of training future natural sciences teachers”, and axio-pedagogical training. The material presents an empirical part of the study that reflects the definition and analysis of the dynamics of formation and assimilation of environmental values due to the changes in the educational content.

The research used the following elements of the diagnostic system: method of diagnosing the intensity of subjective attitude to nature “Nature Lover” by V. Yasvin, S. Deryaba and determination of the peculiarities of the formation of ecological consciousness components, methodology of the questionnaire “Ecological concepts”, questionnaire “Determination of the level of assimilation of ecological concepts” by T. Yevdokimova, technique “Incomplete sentences” by O. Hrybanova, and technique “Test of the development level of the ecological consciousness components of the individual” by O. Asafova.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is the assessment of the relation between the transverse abdominal muscle (TRA) activity and the risk of occurrence of injuries and contusions as well as the number of injuries in a six-month observation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The research was conducted in a group of 50 people, 29 men and 21 women. The assessment of the TRA activity was conducted with the use of Pressure Biofeedback Stabilizer (PBU) and the FMS test. The examined were divided into two groups. First comprises people with the proper transverse abdominal muscle activity, second consists of people with improper results.

RESULTS: People with the proper transverse abdominal muscle activity gained higher average result (20,04 vs 18,11) and median value (20,00 vs 18,00) than people with the improper TRA activity according to the FMS test. The statistical analysis revealed that people with the improper TRA activity had statistically significant higher results in the FMS test than people with the improper TRA activity. The average number of injuries and contusions among people with the proper TRA activity equaled 0,70 (median 0,00), whereas, among people with the improper TRA activity equaled 1,92 (median 2,00).

The statistical analysis revealed that people with the improper TRA activity had a statistically significant higher number of injuries and contusions during previous 6 months than people with the proper TRA activity.

CONCLUSIONS: 1. The TRA activity has statistically significant effect on the risk of injuries and contusions occurrence, which according to the FMS test is higher among people with the improper TRA activity. 2. People with the improper TRA activity had remarkably higher number of injuries and contusions during previous 6 months than people with the proper TRA activity. 3. Statistically significant relation between the TRA activity and the number of injuries and contusions was demonstrated.
An attempt to determine the difference in the impact of loading with the mass of school supplies carried using the left- and right-hand thrust on body posture of 7-year-old pupils of both genders
Authors: Mrozkowiak Mirosław
Published: January 2021

Introduction. Periodically, the issue of overloading children with too heavy school backpacks is raised. Material and methods. Body posture tests were conducted in a group of 65 pupils aged 7 using mora projection in the following three positions: 1- habitual posture, 2 – body posture after pulling the container with school supplies for 10 minutes with the left hand, 3 - pull with the right hand. We measured physical fitness by means of the Sekita test. Then, we analysed the significance of differences between measurement 1 and 2, and measurement 3 and 4 to define the influence of load and correlation with physical fitness and to investigate which mode of transport, pulling with the left or right hand, disturbs body posture to a lesser extent.

Conclusions. 1. Transporting a 4-kilo mass of school supplies with the right or left hand disturbs the biomechanical statics of the body of a 7-year-old child with the same significant and negative effect, which may cause postural mistakes in the long term and consequently postural defects. Therefore, this method of transporting school items should not be recommended to first form pupils. 2. General physical fitness is of greater positive importance in biomechanical disorders of body posture among boys than girls. Among boys, the relationships of individual postural characteristics are similar in both modes of transport, and among girls, more relationships are observed in the case of right hand pulling. The most significant motor skills among boys include endurance and strength and among girls - speed and strength. 3. Restitution of the size of any of the analysed body posture features was not complete 1 and 2 minutes after stopping pulling with the right or left hand.

Background. Modern sports practice, numerous scientific studies show that the world sports peaks can be conquered only by especially talented athletes who, firstly, have a pronounced natural inclination to achievements in a particular sport, and secondly, who managed to implement them in long-term improvement process. Materials and Methods. The number of respondents involved in the observational experiment stage was n = 130 players of 11–13 years old. The paper used professional scientific and methodological literature reviews, pedagogical observation; anthropometry, adolescent’s posture analysis was performed using "Torso" program, mathematical statistics methods. Results. The videometry results, which are confirmed by an orthopedist, established the dynamics of functional state deterioration of musculoskeletal system. The study that examined the body length parameters in young players with different posture types, determined that among athletes aged 11–12 years, the highest body length values were in players with scoliotic posture and round back. In athletes aged 12–13 years, the highest average body weight values were typical for players with round back posture type and the lowest for flat back players. Conclusions. Characteristic posture features of the studied contingent have been established: normal posture was observed in 50% of football players aged 11–12, and 42.85% of football players aged 12–13. The most common functional musculoskeletal system disorder in young athletes is scoliotic posture, which is found in 26.66% of 11–12 year old players and 28.57% of 12–13 year old players. The second in the number of detected functional musculoskeletal system disorders in young football players is a round back observed in 16.67% of 11–12 year olds and 17.15% in 12–13 year old athletes. The data obtained indicate that the problem of functional musculoskeletal system disorders in young athletes is more acute than ever.

Maternal hypothyroidism in the perinatal period and child development
Authors: Strączyńska Agnieszka
Published: January 2021

Thyroid hormones are essential growth and development regulators in both foetal and neonatal period. They are involved in metabolic processes, in maturation of nerve and skeletal tissue and many other fluid tissues. Abnormalities in their function during foetal development may have an impact on disorders in pregnancy, or increase susceptibility to the occurrence of neurodevelopmental disabilities in children later in life. There are many observational and epidemiological studies investigating the relationship between maternal thyroid dysfunction and a child development, yet a discussion on the subject is ongoing and robust evidence for its existence is still lacking.

Characterization of hypothalamic Nuclei in Indian Fresh Water Spiny Eel Mastacembelusarmatus (Lacepede)
Authors: Ray Supriya
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Mastacembelusarmatus, an indigenous fish species of southern Asia, also resides in Indian subcontinent. This fish species is facing an alarming declining in their number in the last decade. Due to its moderate cost, it is mainly taken by the lower income group of people of the society. Reproductive care, by artificial breeding, has been taken for those fish species having a high cost in the market or becoming less in number in nature for business purposes or preserving the biodiversity, respectively. Aim of the study: The present study was undertaken to understand the structure of hypothalamic nulceiof M. armatus, because these are ultimately responsible for the maintenance of pituitary-gonadal endocrine cascade. Material and methods:This work had been done purely on histological techniques.Hypothalamic region with the brain was first dissected out then followed by fixation, embedding in paraffin wax, sectioning, staining and microphotography. Results: In the present investigation the nucleus preopticus (NPO) are paired, eachnuclear area being situated on either side of the third ventricle. The NPO iselongated in structure and the differentiated zones, the pars magnocellularis andpars parvocellularis. The neurosecretory nuclei ofnucleus lateralis tuberis (NLT) are very prominent and occupy a position nearer to the pituitary gland. The cells of the NLT aredivided into two subgroups. The comparatively larger α – cells are located anterior end of lateral wall of the hypothalamus and the β – cells are located above the pituitary gland. Conclusion: Understanding the hypothalamic architecture and cell types for this fish species is of immense importance to save this indigenous variety by artificial breeding.

Profiles of competence development in upper secondary education and their predictors
Authors: Freund Micha-Josia , Wolter Ilka , Lockl Kathrin , Gnambs Timo
Published: January 2021

This registered report protocol elaborates on the theory, methods, and material of a study to identify latent profiles of competence development in reading and mathematics among German students in upper secondary education. It is expected that generalized (reading and mathematical competence develop similarly) and specialized (one of the domains develops faster) competence profiles will be identified. Moreover, it is hypothesized that students’ domain-specific interest and educational history will predict membership of these latent profiles as these factors influence the students’ learning environments. For this study, we will use data from the German National Educational Panel Study, including students from ninth grade in secondary schools (expected N = 14,500). These students were tracked across six years and provided competence assessments on three occasions. The latent profiles based on the students’ reading and mathematical competences will be identified using latent growth mixture modeling. If different types of profiles can be identified, multinomial regression will be utilized to analyze whether the likelihood of belonging to a certain competence development profile is influenced by students’ domain-specific interest or educational history. As this protocol is submitted before any analyses were conducted, it will provide neither results nor conclusions.

Published: January 2021

The yield of marine red yeast polysaccharide (MRYP) obtained from Rhodosporidium paludigenum was increased by optimizing fermentation conditions, and the pure polysaccharide was extracted by column chromatography. The molecular weight of pure MRYP and the ratio of mannose to glucose in components of MRYP were determined. Antioxidant and antibacterial abilities of MRYP were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The optimal fermentation parameters were as follows: Medium 4, pH = 6.72, temperature = 30.18°C, blades speed = 461.36 r/min; the optimized yield reached 4323.90 mg/L, which was 1.31 times the original yield. The sequence of factors that affected the MRYP yield was the blades speed>pH>temperature. The main components of MRYP were MYH-1 and MYH-2. The molecular weights of MYH-1 and MYH-2 were 246.92 kDa and 21.88 kDa, respectively; they accounted for 53.60% and 28.75% of total polysaccharide. In MYH-1 and MYH-2, the proportion of glucose and mannose accounted for 46.94%, 38.46%, and 67.10%, 7.17%, respectively. In vitro, the ability of scavenging DPPH•, •OH, and •O2− radical was 32.26%, 24.34%, and 22.09%; the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of MRYP was 480 μg/mg. In vivo, MRYP improved the lambs’ body weight, antioxidant enzyme activity, and the number of probiotics, but it reduced the feed/gain (F/G) ratio and the number of pathogenic bacteria in 60-days-old lambs.

Published: January 2021

Vitamin A supplementation (VAS) in 6-59-month-old children is recommended but its sustainability is currently questioned. In Senegal, available data suggest that VAS should be maintained, but geographic and age-related specificities need to be addressed to better implement and target VAS programming. The objective of this comparative cross-sectional study, conducted in urban settings of Dakar, was to compare the vitamin A liver stores (VALS) assessed using the modified-relative dose response (MRDR) test between supplemented and non-supplemented 9–23 month-old children and to study their relationship with VAS. The supplemented group (n = 119) received VAS (either 100 000 UI or 200 000 UI) 2 to 6 months before evaluation while the non-supplemented group (n = 110) had not received VAS during the past 6 months. In addition to MRDR, serum retinol concentrations (SR), and biomarkers of subclinical inflammation were measured. Children’s health-related data and feeding patterns were collected. Mean MRDR values (VAS: 0.030 ± 0.017, non-VAS: 0.028 ± 0.016, P = 0.389) and inflammation-adjusted SR (VAS: 1.34 ± 0.37, non-VAS: 1.3 ± 0.35, P = 0.515) of children were adequate. Low prevalence of VALS (VAS: 5.2%, non-VAS: 5.4%) and inflammation-adjusted VAD (VAS: 2.6%, non-VAS: 0.9%) were detected despite high presence of infections and inflammation. Children were mostly still being breastfed (VAS: 85.7%, non-VAS: 77.3%) and complementary feeding indicators were similar in both groups. Only breastfeeding was associated with VALS and was found to reduce by 76% at least, the odds of VAD (adjusted OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.07–0.8, P = 0.020). Based on MRDR values, VAS was not related to improved VALS and SR as well as VAD reduction among these children with adequate VALS. Reinforcing breastfeeding advocacy and morbidity prevention/control are essential in this setting. Scaling-back VAS in this subpopulation should be examined regarding the risk of hypervitaminosis A after an evaluation of dietary vitamin A intake sufficiency and a more quantitative assessment of VALS.
La Antropología Dental como herramienta para el estudio de poblaciones megalíticas: primeros resultados de su aplicación al dolmen de La Cabaña (Burgos)
Authors: Santa Cruz Angélica
Published: January 2021

El estudio antropológico de los osarios megalíticos se ve frecuentemente obstaculizado por la excesiva fragmentación y desconexión anatómica de los restos óseos, lo cual supone un impedimento a la hora de realizar caracterizaciones poblacionales fiables. Por esta razón, la dentición se presenta como una fuente de estudio viable debido a una mejor conservación frente a otros elementos esqueléticos, ofreciendo además información valiosa acerca de los modos de vida de poblaciones antiguas. Los datos obtenidos en el dolmen de La Cabaña reflejan patrones dietarios propios de sociedades incipientemente agrícolas, con cierto consumo de alimentos cariogénicos, pero también sugieren el aprovechamiento de recursos silvestres y ganaderos. Por otro lado, no se han detectado diferencias significativas entre dentición permanente y decidua, lo que sugiere hábitos de consumo similares entre ambos grupos de edad.

En este trabajo se presenta por primera vez el estudio completo del abrigo de La Serradassa (Vistabella, Castelló), analizando su contenido en el contexto del Arte Esquemático del Mediterráneo peninsular. La zona septentrional valenciana es especialmente rica en Arte Rupestre Levantino y también cuenta con un número excepcional de yacimientos con Arte Finipaleolítico. En cambio, el Arte Esquemático está escasamente representado, sin demasiados conjuntos de entidad que permitan realizar comparaciones a gran escala, siendo La Serradassa uno de los pocos en los que se conserva un importante número de motivos. Todo esto, unido a las características de los motivos conservados en el yacimiento, hacen de La Serradassa un yacimiento singular en este territorio, con claros paralelos dentro del complejo mundo del Arte Esquemático, pero también con elementos exclusivos –podomorfos– o poco comunes –orantes y motivos con cuernos– respecto a lo que hoy en día conocemos sobre este arte en la vertiente mediterránea de la Península Ibérica.
E-learning értékelési módszerek = E-learning evaluation methods
Authors:   , Nagy Vitéz
Published: January 2021

A disszertáció fókusza az e-learning tanulási forma hatékonyságának és hatásosságának vizsgálata, melynek mind tudástranszfer, mind pénzügyi vonatkozásai is vannak. Az alapfeltételezés az, hogy az e-learning tanulási formán keresztül hatékonyabb és hatásosabb (a fogalmak magyarázatát lásd később a módszerek kidolgozásánál) a tudástranszfer, és mindezek mellett gazdaságosabb (azaz pénzügyileg hatékonyabb) lehet, mint a hagyományos tantermi oktatás. A kutatásomat interaktív modellel terveztem meg, a kivitelezéshez pedig kvalitatív és kvantitatív eszköztárt is igénybe vettem: a módszertani kidolgozáshoz elsősorban széleskörű irodalmi áttekintést és szintézist alkalmaztam, míg a módszertanok tesztelését és validálását adatsorokon, kvantitatív elemzéssel végeztem el az általam kidolgozott új, egyedi mérési rendszerek segítségével. Egy bekezdésben megfogalmazva a disszertáció központi eredményét: Az értekezésben felállítottam egy olyan metrikát (mérési rendszert), amely az e-learning sajátosságaira épül, és amelynek a validálását is elvégeztem a disszertáció keretein belül. A célom az volt, hogy egy olyan eszközt adjak a szakma kezébe, amellyel értékelni tudják az e-learning oktatási forma hatékonyságát és eredményességét. A disszertációban elvégzett empirikus kutatás célja az volt, hogy valós környezetben megvizsgáljam a módszer alkalmazhatóságát, amellyel fényt derítettek annak korlátjaira és bővítési, továbbfejlesztési lehetőségeire. A disszertáció során született új tudományos eredmények a következők: - Megvizsgáltam az e-learning fogalmi megközelítéseit, megalkottam a saját e-learning definíciómat, azonosítottam az e-learning összetevőit és kapcsolódó fogalmait, végül pedig meghatároztam a jelenléti oktatást megkülönböztető 9 jellemzőjét. - Kidolgoztam egy kontrollcsoport nélkül is alkalmazható, objektív értékelésre alkalmas e-learning tudástranszfert mérő eszköztárt, mely matematikai-statisztikai alapokra helyezi a hatékonyság mérését az e-learning rendszerek által automatikusan rögzített adatokból. - Kidolgoztam az e-learning projektek megtérülési pontjának számítási módszerét, mely a jelenléti oktatással párhuzamba állítja az e-learning bevezetésének költségeit, ezzel meghatározható az az évben mért időtáv, amikortól az e-learningbe való invesztálás megtérül. - Teszteltem az e-learning tudástranszfer hatékonyságát mérő módszert és eszköztárt, megállapítottam annak általános alkalmazhatóságát, és megfogalmaztam a mérési módszer korlátait, továbbfejlesztési lehetőségeit.

Published: January 2021

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a rare syndrome characterized by brain edema and neurological symptoms, often resulting from several drugs. Treatment is based on discontinuation, and diagnosis is thus essential. Only 13 cases of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome have been reported in inflammatory bowel diseases, and we present the first after azathioprine in adults. A 56-year-old patient with active ulcerative colitis was found unconscious 5 days after the institution of azathioprine. Right-sided hemiplegia was found after the patient regained consciousness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed altered signal associated with diffusion restriction in the occipital lobe and cerebral vasogenic edema. Complete regression of neurological signs occurred after azathioprine discontinuation.
A Dialogue on Therapeutic Peer-to-Peer Models for Trans and Nonbinary Surgical Support
Authors: Wiggins Tobias B. D. , Woodams Erik
Published: January 2021

Transgender peer-to-peer support groups can provide an invaluable space for healing by fostering collective knowledge, resource sharing, and supportive self-determination. Historically, transgender people have facilitated these grassroots mental health and gender transition supports within their communities, picking up the slack where providers and healthcare systems have either fallen short, or worse, have actively sought to bar access. Peer models emerge from these community-based movements but have also started to become more formally integrated into some state-funded models of healthcare. The following article investigates the impacts of clinical work conducted in institutionally funded, peer-to-peer transgender mental health support groups through a narrative-driven conversation between the authors: a transgender service provider and a transgender service user. Drawing on our shared experience, we discuss the benefits and shortcomings of this innovative, yet delegitimized form of healthcare provision for transgender people.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has been declared as a pandemic. It impacts all sectors including the education field from the elementary to higher education level. The university students have to follow the academic activity online which of course needs information in the process. Therefore, the college library would have to keep performing its services. The services will also apply the standard health protocol and practice the social distancing appeal. Many innovations are conducted so the librarian should be flexible as to follow. Some of them may experience the effect such as becoming uncomfortable, feeling afraid and anxious, or even overstressed. Those would lead to the decreased performance. The aim of this research is to understand how to overcome the effect covid-19 pandemic condition to library service in the university library. Hence, this will help to solve the anxiety issue of the librarians. This research used library research methodology where the supporting data are achieved by understanding the environment and carefully look at the current situation. The result shows that the librarian stress is caused by their own self-perception. Therefore, it is necessary to manage self-control to avoid any difficulties in the future. In this case, the solution from Bill using long and short term methodology can be applied to overcome the work stress.Keywords: work stress, librarian, covid-19, library service
Project-based learning for physiotherapy clinical education quality and capacity
Authors: Forbes Roma , Martin Romany
Published: January 2021

Background: Increasing, supporting and sustaining the capacity for physiotherapy student placements is a priority for universities and the physiotherapy workforce. The interruption, and in some cases, cancellation of placements as a result of Covid-19 has provided an added impetus to consider the use of flexible and adaptive models to meet student learning needs and support new and existing placement host organisations. Project-based learning provides an opportunity to supplement clinical placements through student-led activities that are mutually beneficial for student learning and service delivery needs of the host organisation. Aim: This paper outlines the pedagogical underpinnings of project-based learning and provides tangible examples of activities that have been adopted within physiotherapy host organisations to support clinical placement quality and capacity. Discussion: Clinical placement host organisations require flexible, student-centred approaches to supporting clinical placement efforts during 2020 and beyond. Project-based learning has the potential to be adapted across settings to support student learning and host organisation services and their stakeholders. Universities should aim to encourage and support partnerships between host organisations and their students to adopt, evaluate and sustain project-based learning across physiotherapy settings.
Responding to COVID-19: LUNEX University’s decisions and actions to continue physiotherapy education
Authors: Buchholtz Kim , Meroni Roberto , Karsten Bettina , Carson Fraser
Published: January 2021

In this report we reflect on the decision-making process and actions taken by a young higher education institution to the COVID-19 pandemic to continue teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate physiotherapy degree programmes. LUNEX University is unique in that it is the only higher education institute in Luxembourg to provide education in physiotherapy. The response to the global pandemic is further complicated as the majority of students commute across international borders to attend campus. We have focused on three distinct challenges LUNEX staff faced to ensure continued and quality teaching was provided: 1) Response to the country-wide and global shutdown; 2) Return to campus; and 3) Provision of clinical placements. We describe the decisions and actions to rapidly move to a blended learning format, and the strategic approach to incorporating simulated practice after restrictions were eased and a return to campus was possible. Initial observation suggests improvement in student competency in practical skills as a result of the blended learning approach. Recommendations are provided to encourage the integration of blended learning for practical and clinical degree programmes, like physiotherapy, where an emphasis is placed on simulated practice in classroom settings, underpinned by prior theoretical knowledge delivered online.

Physiotherapy education cannot occur without resources. A pragmatic approach to education design is required, with explicit consideration for the cost of our teaching and learning practices. In this editorial, we explore the concept of cost-conscious educational design in the context of physiotherapy education.
Physiotherapy students’ conceptualisations of clinical communication: A call to revisit communication in physiotherapy education
Authors: Bright Felicity
Published: January 2021

Background: Communication is fundamental in collaborative physiotherapy practice. Students develop understandings of what constitutes ‘good’ communication through the formal, informal and hidden curricula. Understanding how students understand communication and how this is influenced by the curricula can help educators consider how best to enhance communication knowledge and skills. Aim: This study explored how physiotherapy students conceptualised clinical communication. Methods: This study was underpinned by a social constructionist epistemology. Data consisted of fifteen assignments, completed by students as part of their coursework. Assignments were analysed using the Listening Guide which prompted attention to how the different ways students understood communication and how these understandings were constructed. Results: Communication was understood as uni-dimensional. It was presented as an act done to the patient by the physiotherapist, with little attention to the patient’s communication and involvement in the interaction. Through communication, physiotherapists demonstrated and reinforced their expertise while simultaneously positioning the patient as the recipient of care and knowledge. Conclusion: Understandings of communication reflect broader constructions of physiotherapy and the role of the physiotherapist. These also reflect tensions in the curricula. Enhancing communication in student education requires all parties to understand, value and critically reflect on how communication is constructed and enacted.
Students’ learning preferences and experience in a globalised world: Opportunity to optimise internationalisation in physiotherapy education
Authors: Schoeb Veronika , Chang Doris
Published: January 2021

Background: Hong Kong is at the cross-road between Eastern and Western cultures. Increasing globalisation allows students to gather experiences from various educational contexts. While internationalisation has been promoted in higher education worldwide, the focus was often put on students from Chinese cultures integrating into Westernised education systems. Not much is known about how students from Chinese background with exposures to Western cultures, reintegrate into a Hong Kong university, characterised by a highly competitive system that potentially affects students’ well-being. Aim: To identify learning preferences by Hong Kong physiotherapy students who have been exposed to educational contexts in the USA, Australia or Canada, and to explore their subjective experiences regarding different educational approaches during their studies. Methods: Ten students participated in this phenomenological study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in English, transcribed ‘ad verbatim’ and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Findings: Three themes emerged from the data: (1) Interaction between students and teachers, (2) past experiences that help with future dreams, and (3) obstacles and opportunities in learning. Conclusion: Physiotherapy students with globalised experience rely on their past educational exposure to give meaning to their future. They believe that a student-centred approach is crucial for learning. Their experiences shed light on consideration factors for optimally internationalising the physiotherapy curriculum.
