Introduction: The aim of this paper is to guide training program and review course curriculum planning in elbow disorders. To this end, a nationwide email survey was administered to residents' in orthopaedic surgery training programs. Material and Methods: The survey had 12 items that examined learning needs in several domains: assessment of acute and chronic elbow disorders, treatment of elbow disorders and the perceived effectiveness of various practical skills simulation sessions. A rank order list of learning needs was created. Results: Eighty-eight of 351 residents completed the survey (25%). Ninety percent of respondents thought that a one-day course would be helpful. The majority of residents felt comfortable evaluating acute traumatic elbow disorders. Their level of comfort was lower in treatment of elective disorders, with only 4% of residents comfortable managing posterior interosseous nerve and 5% comfortable managing chronic elbow instability. Only 24% of residents were comfortable treating terrible triad injuries. Conclusions: Residents reported a need for additional education in elbow surgery; especially for elective disorders. Educational needs were clustered in several areas including surgical approaches, ligament repair, and surgical management of fracture dislocations.

This study aims to determine the effect of case-based curriculum (CBC) on the cognitive and affective characteristics of the pre-service teachers. The case-based curriculum was developed within the scope of the &quot;Introduction to Educational Science&quot; course at the university level. It was applied to experimental groups by two different methods that are CBL1 and CBL2, respectively. The CBL1 was implemented through the presentation of the unit subjects, applying the teaching strategy and using the cases, while CBL2 was implemented by ensuring students to reach information through the cases rather than the presentation of the unit subjects by the instructor. The study used a mixed method approach which employed the semi-experimental methods for data collection using pretest-posttest control group design. The study group consists of 334 freshmen taking the &quot;Introduction to Educational Science&quot; course, of education faculties of two different universities. The purposive sampling technique was used to select these students. The result of the study indicates that there was a significant difference in the course &quot;introduction to educational sciences&quot; in favor of the experimental groups in terms of their learning levels. In interviews with students; it has been found that case-based learning (CBL) techniques have a positive impact on students' socialization and communication skills development, and support cooperation. In addition, a large majority of the students stated that CBL contributes to their interest to the course as well as their awareness towards and adoption of the teaching profession. Therefore, CBL can be taken as a basis for developing curricula and the effectiveness of these curricula can be viewed in terms of improving the cognitive, social and affective skills of students.

The purpose of the current study is to make a detailed introduction to the Greek education system and to compare it with the Turkish education system to come up with some implications for the latter. To this end, the literature was reviewed. A general introduction was made to Greece and its education system was examined considering its goals, structure and process dimensions. Similar and different aspects of the Greek and Turkish education system were discussed and various suggestions were developed. The Greek and Turkish education systems have many similarities such as having a centralized structure, students' obligation to take a general exam to get a place at university, provision of the primary and secondary education by the state. On the other hand, these two systems differ from each in many respects such as conception of secular education, duration of compulsory education, financing of higher education, administrative structure of schools, prevalence of evening classes, appointment of principals and inspection of schools. As a result of the comparison of these two education systems, in short it can be said that: If teachers' opinions are taken into consideration in the appointment of school principals, greater importance is attached to self-assessment, development-oriented inspection is put into effect and inspectors are obliged to have a master's degree to be an inspector in Turkey, then some important contributions can be made to the development of the Turkish education system.

Retail dietetics is a growing field, however, there is very little research available on effective teaching strategies for preparing students to enter this part of the profession. This paper is the second paper to report on the results of produce-focused grocery store tour training program. This paper focuses on the trained students' perception of the program's effectiveness. Twenty-five dietetics and nutrition students were trained in providing produce-based grocery store tours, and then gave store tours to other college students. Students completed a pre- and post-training survey rating their confidence in providing this type of education and on their intention to do so as part of their career. Students rated their confidence level in giving produce-based grocery store tours significantly higher after the training than before (p &lt; 0.05). However, the training program did not significantly increase the student's intention in pursuing a career that included giving grocery store tours. The results of this study indicate that a practical training program in giving store tours may increase students' comfort level with doing so.
