Medical and neurological science can greatly enhance the effectiveness of education by their research into the nature of man and the limits of his potential. This paper describes recent advances in the field of split-brain research and summarises the qualities which characterise the two cerebral hemispheres. Traditional patterns of education, the author argues, are inadequate since they concentrate almost exclusively on the left hemisphere (e.g. developing powers of linguistic and numerical reasoning), and neglect the right hemisphere which controls perceptual, sensory, musical and intuitive abilities. He suggests what the formal curriculum, teaching strategies and school experiences might do to accelerate the development of the right hemisphere, stressing that all education should aim at neurological symmetry. 相似文献

Changes in the conceptualisation of higher education have led to instructional methods that embrace technology as a teaching medium. These changes have led to the flipped classroom phenomenon - where content is delivered outside class, through media such as video and podcast, and engagement with the content, through problem-solving and/or group work, occurs in class. Studies investigating the impact of the flipped classroom have mainly looked at the student experience with little focus on whether exam outcomes are enhanced by flipping. An undergraduate Material Technology course at The University of the West Indies was taught in two formats over two successive years. The course was taught during the 2012/13 academic year in a ‘traditional’ format but, after reflecting on student feedback and personal pedagogy, the lecturer restructured the class and taught it in a flipped format during the 2013/14 academic year. This research examines whether the flipped format improved the learning experience in relation to exam performance and student perception. Data was gathered through analysis of course grades and student evaluation questionnaires. The lecturer’s reflective comments were also reviewed before and after the study. Analysis of the qualitative data shows that the flipped format led to a slight improvement in how students perceived the course and the lecturer’s reflection shows that they are keen to continue with the flipped format as it allowed more time for them to work with students at an individual level. While no significant change in relation to average cohort exam performance was found, fewer students in the flipped classroom achieved marks at the highest level. It is therefore recommended that practitioners who intend to flip their classroom pay as much attention to student performance as they do to student perception. 相似文献

Teaching and Learning confined to within the four walls of a classroom or even online Learning through Massive Online Courses (MOOCs) and other Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) are no longer seen as the optimal approach for competency and skills development, especially for working professionals. Each of these busy learners have their own training needs and prior knowledge. Adopting the one-size-fits-all teaching approach is definitely not effective, motivating and encouraging. For some learners, the content might be too easy and for others, it might be too difficult. This is why this research presents the use of SMART Learning Environment that makes use of Intelligent Techniques to personalise the learning materials for each learner. This mismatch in skills is becoming a pressing issue and is having a direct impact on the ICT Sector, which is one of the pillars of the Mauritian Economy. This research, therefore, besides proposing a novel approach to learning, also attempts to address an issue of national importance. Data was collected during three phases, namely an Expert Reference Group Discussion, a pre-test questionnaire and a survey questionnaire. The Expert Reference Group Discussion was carried out to further understand the training needs and expectations of Cybersecurity professionals in Mauritius. A SMART Learning Environment making use of Artificial Neural Networks and Backpropagation Algorithm to personalise learning materials was eventually designed and implemented. The major findings of this research were that personalisation of learning materials through the use of a SMART Learning Environment can be used to address the training needs of Cybersecurity professionals in Mauritius.

Lymphocyte subset estimations by flow cytometry in population-based studies require transportation of samples from the field
site to the laboratory. As samples arrive late in the day they have to wait overnight before being processed. The effect of
two possible approaches, sample storage for 24 h before staining and immediate staining with analysis after 24 h and 48 h
were evaluated. Two sets of experiments were performed with EDTA (ethylenediamine tetra-acetate) anticoagulated peripheral
blood. In the first experiment, after collection, each sample was divided into two portions. One portion was stained at the
time of blood collection and the other 24 h later after keeping it at room temperature (38–45°C). In the second experiment,
blood samples were stained within 1–2 h. Each sample was analyzed immediately upon completion of staining process and subsequently
after 24 h and 48 h of storage at 4°C. Results suggest that blood collected in EDTA can be processed using whole blood lysis
method, after storage at room temperature (38–45°C) for 24 h with some but not significant alteration in T-cell subsets. Storage
at 4°C after staining for 24 h results in a lesser and insignificant loss of cells or alteration of T-cell subsets and may
be the method of choice. 相似文献

The development of monoclonal antibodies combined with flow cytometry has revolutionized the analysis of lymphocyte subsets.
These newer methods using the Q-prep leucocyte preparation system require only 1–2 ml of blood as compared to 10 ml required
traditionally. One of the main impediments in the use of this superior technology in Indian laboratories has been the high
cost of reagents. This study evaluated methods to reduce the cost of assays. In the first experiment from 26 healthy subjects,
2ml venous blood samples in EDTA (ethylenediamine tetra-acetate) were obtained. Each sample was divided into two equal portions,
one portion was stained using diluted monoclonal antibody, whereas the other portion was stained using standard concentrations
of antibodies. In the second experiment, blood samples from 12 subjects were again divided into 2 portions; one portion of
each pair was processed using commercial Q-prep reagents while the other portion was processed using our own reagents. In
the first experiment, which evaluated use of a diluted antibody against the standard recommended concentrations, a 5-tube
panel that estimated CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20 was used. In the second experiment CD3, CD4 and CD8 were estimated. The total cost
per sample for a 5-panel estimation was however reduced from $39.11 to $1.10.
Given the proven advantages of using a whole blood stain-lyse method for T cell subset estimations, its use should be encouraged
in developing country settings. With the suggested methods the whole blood Q-prep could be performed at appreciably reduced
costs, without loss in precision. 相似文献

The motivation to study: an analysis of undergraduate engineering students at a Caribbean university
Chris Maharaj Erik Blair Sarah Chin Yuen Kee 《Journal of Further & Higher Education》2018,42(1):24-35
The link between motivation and success is well documented; however, there is still room to problematise motivation in regards to the individual and contextual levels. This study looks at motivation in relation to students studying undergraduate engineering courses at a Caribbean university and seeks to discover the factors that motivate them to study and the factors that keep them motivated. An online questionnaire was constructed using 19 Likert-type questions and 5 questions that allowed for open-ended qualitative responses. The findings reveal that participants tended to be motivated by the increased possibility of desired future careers and tended to stay motivated by a combination of goal-orientation and family support. It is recommended that departments, faculties and institutions deliberate on shared and contextually constructed understandings of why students choose to enrol in particular university courses. 相似文献
