The Covid-19 pandemic has driven the fastest changes to higher education across the globe, necessitated by social distancing measures preventing face-to-face teaching. This has led to an almost immediate switch to distance learning by higher education institutions. Anatomy faces some unique challenges. Intrinsically, anatomy is a three-dimensional subject that requires a sound understanding of the relationships between structures, often achieved by the study of human cadaveric material, models, and virtual resources. This study sought to identify the approaches taken in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland to deliver anatomical education through online means. Data were collected from 14 different universities in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and compared adopting a thematic analysis approach. Once themes were generated, they were collectively brought together using a strength, weakness, opportunity, threat (SWOT) analysis. Key themes included the opportunity to develop new online resources and the chance to engage in new academic collaborations. Academics frequently mentioned the challenge that time constrains could place on the quality and effectiveness of these resources; especially as in many cases the aim of these resources was to compensate for a lack of exposure to cadaveric exposure. Comparisons of the actions taken by multiple higher education institutions reveal the ways that academics have tried to balance this demand. Discussions will facilitate decisions being made by higher education institutions regarding adapting the curriculum and assessment methods in anatomy.  相似文献   

Facilitating flexible learning by replacing classroom time with an online learning environment: A systematic review of blended learning in higher education     

《Educational Research Review》2021

Higher education institutions are trying to provide more flexibility and individualization, which is mainly realized through the use of new technologies and implemented in online or blended learning designs. This systematic review aims to investigate the impact of replacing classroom time with an online learning environment. The meta-analysis (k = 21 effect sizes) applied strict inclusion criteria concerning research design, measurement of learning outcomes and implementation of blended learning. The estimated effect size (Hedge's g) was positive, although not significantly different from zero and the confidence interval [-0.13, 0.25], suggesting that overall differences between blended and conventional classroom learning are small, and, at best, very small negative or moderate positive effects are plausible. This means that despite a reduction in classroom time between 30 and 79 per cent, equivalent learning outcomes were found. Consequently, blended learning with reduced classroom time is not systematically more or less effective than conventional classroom learning.  相似文献   

Young children working together. Cooperative learning effects on group work of children in Grade 1 of primary education     

《Learning and Instruction》2020

It was examined whether cooperative learning within the Success for All (SfA) program led to improved group work behaviour of Grade 1 pupils. 168 pupils of six SfA schools and 144 pupils of four control schools participated. Positive and negative group work behaviour was observed during a group task, taking into account socioemotional ethos, group participation, and type of dialogue. Longitudinal multilevel analysis was used for the sequence of observed 20-s time intervals. SfA groups showed more positive and less negative group work behaviour compared to control groups, whilst controlling for several group characteristics. Results suggest that negative group work behaviour increased gradually during the whole task in control groups, while in SfA groups it increased only towards the end of the task. The findings indicate that cooperative learning may lead to improved group work behaviour of young pupils (6–7 years old).  相似文献

人文社科专著众筹OA出版发展现状和思考——以Open Book Publishers和Knowledge Unlatched为例     

徐志玮 《图书情报工作》2021,64(22):77-84

[目的/意义] 梳理人文社科专著众筹OA出版的发展现状，分析具有公益性特点的OA出版物和具有商业性特点的众筹出版所引起的冲突，以期对学术专著众筹出版提出有价值的思考。[方法/过程] 从发起者、投资者和众筹平台3个基本要素梳理Open Book Publishers和Knowledge Unlatched的众筹模式，比较异同点，探讨两者在竞争中引起的问题。[结果/结论] 目前，欧美国家的学术专著众筹出版分为高校、众筹商和OA出版社3种模式。Knowledge Unlatched是期望通过对图书馆的优质服务获得收益的众筹商，Open Book Publishers是借助网络开展众筹出版的OA出版社，两者属于商业化大型公司和非营利性OA出版社的竞争关系，在OA出版物的商业化开发、财务公开透明、垄断性的销售模式和审核制度方面值得高度关注。  相似文献   

Ipad远程开放教育教学初探     

王雁凌 《襄樊职业技术学院学报》2014,(1):127-130

目前国内许多学校都开始尝试采用Ipad进行教学,教育人士对其褒贬不一,作为一种新型的移动学习媒体,它有着自身的优势,但也有一定的弊端。Ipad在远程开放教育方面有着较为明显的优势,也符合成人学员移动学习的习惯。在具备了充分的硬件设施和完善的教学环节设计之后,Ipad会为远程开放教育揭开一个新篇章。  相似文献   

朱子《大学章句》建构体系的梳理与析出——志与功相统一的说理方法     

宋兵超 《鸡西大学学报》2014,(2):54-55

朱熹在建构《大学章句》的体系时,采取了一种志与功相统一的说理方法。这种方法既表现在《大学》经章里,也表现在《大学》传章里,而且在不同的说理层次上,存在着不同的志与功的统一,既有纲领之间的志与功相统一,也有条目之间的志与功相统一,这分别体现在经章与传章里,而且基本上呈现出一一对应的关系。  相似文献   

浅析艺术设计专业生产性工作室实习的模式     

宋梵 《牡丹江教育学院学报》2014,(1):99-100

艺术设计专业生产性工作室实习模式是指在学校建立面向市场的企业型艺术设计工作室,让学生按计划到工作室进行生产性实习,提高学生的实际设计能力和水平,这是适应社会需要的一种面向市场的校内实习模式。该模式能较好地解决目前艺术设计专业学生不能适应市场以及实际操作能力差的问题,并且还能使艺术设计专业培养的学生毕业后直接参与实际设计,从而形成学生较高的实际设计能力和应用水平。  相似文献   

基于语料库的动态词群建构     

冯文贺 《河南科技学院学报》2014,(9):47-50

提出一个以大规模语料库为资源提取材料,以词汇集为语义成分表达方式的动态词群建构方法,其维度特征值的提取不但具有客观性,而且操作简易。维度特征值用词汇集的方式表示特征取值范围,可以避免传统的义素概括性过强、词汇个性表现不足的缺陷。这种方法有利于面向应用的大规模动态词群的建构。  相似文献

本文借鉴顿悟学习的心理学成果和"量子学习"模型的概念,提出应结合华人企业和科研机构普遍存在的顿悟文化对SECI模型进行改进,构建了基于顿悟学习的量子知识创造(Q-SECI)模型,并定义了知识创造力和知识集成力分析该模型知识创造螺旋跃迁机制。在此理论基础上,本文通过对知识管理实证案例的探讨,尝试提出一种基于"实践社群"的应用方案来检验Q-SECI模型的合理性。  相似文献
