Using Active Learning To Shift The Habits Of Learning In Health Care Education, Yolanda Griffiths, Kristina Ursick

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

In order to prepare competent health care professionals, changes in health care education are necessary. Professionals must be more self-directed and ready to apply knowledge in a dynamic manner. Learning by doing and utilizing an active learning approach can be a successful avenue to meet the challenge of cultivating higher order thinking and application of knowledge. This article discusses the use of active learning as a promising method for increasing the effectiveness of teaching and learning within any professional health care curriculum.


Development Of A Prototype Computer-Based Instruction Module: Foundational Neuroscience For Physical Therapy Students, Gilbert M. Willett Apr 2004

Development Of A Prototype Computer-Based Instruction Module: Foundational Neuroscience For Physical Therapy Students, Gilbert M. Willett

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

This paper details one faculty members approach to developing a prototype module for a computer based instruction (CBI) course in foundational neuroscience for physical therapy students. The process was based on the generic instructional systems design model, ADDIE. ADDIE is an acronym for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Each step has an outcome that feeds the subsequent step or results in modification of the prior step in order to reach the desired outcome. The analysis section summarizes the state of the global academic environment in health professions education and the environment at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) …

Racial Identity And The Development Of Body Image Issues Among African American Adolescent Girls, Sharlene Nagy Hesse-Biber, Stephanie A. Howling, Patricia Leavy, Meg Lovejoy Mar 2004

Racial Identity And The Development Of Body Image Issues Among African American Adolescent Girls, Sharlene Nagy Hesse-Biber, Stephanie A. Howling, Patricia Leavy, Meg Lovejoy

The Qualitative Report

As readers, children with dyslexia are vulnerable to becoming academically, socially, and emotionally detached from education. Traditional educational practices tend to use quantitative measures to diagnose children to better serve their needs and researchers, who study students with special needs often focus on a deficit model that quantify just how far a child is from the norm. This practice, while full of good intentions, often creates emotional scars and feelings of inferiority in a child. This reductionist view of a disability is most likely different from the lived experience of the person with the disability. To get a complete picture, …


Using Qualitative Methods To Understand The Educational Experiences Of Students With Dyslexia, Debby Zambo Mar 2004

Using Qualitative Methods To Understand The Educational Experiences Of Students With Dyslexia, Debby Zambo

The Qualitative Report

The paper argues that the systematic review of qualitative research is best served by reliance upon qualitative methods themselves. A case is made for strengthening the narrative literature review and using narrative itself as a method of review. A technique is proposed that builds upon recent developments in qualitative systematic review by the use of a narrative inductive method of analysis. The essence of qualitative work is described. The natural ability for issues of ethnicity and diversity to be investigated through a qualitative approach is elaborated Recent developments in systematic review are delineated, including the Delphi and Signal and Noise …

Rethinking Validity In Qualitative Research From A Social Constructionist Perspective: From Is This Valid Research? To What Is This Research Valid For?, Jeffrey P. Aguinaldo Mar 2004

Rethinking Validity In Qualitative Research From A Social Constructionist Perspective: From Is This Valid Research? To What Is This Research Valid For?, Jeffrey P. Aguinaldo

The Qualitative Report

This article theorizes the issue of validity that is premised upon social constructionist assumptions, particularly as it is applied to the assessment of qualitative research. As a social construction, validity must thus be interrogated for its discursive function within the social sciences. I will argue that, as a criterion of assessment, validity polices the social science enterprise and thus, functions as a practice of power through the de/legitimation of social knowledge, research practice, and experiential possibilities. This critique will lead into a reformulation of validity that actively recognizes and negotiates its practice of power. Within this reformulation, research findings are …


Studying Human-Centered It Innovation Using A Grounded Action Learning Approach, David J. Pauleen, Pak Yoong Mar 2004

Studying Human-Centered It Innovation Using A Grounded Action Learning Approach, David J. Pauleen, Pak Yoong

The Qualitative Report

This paper describes how two research methodologies, grounded theory and action learning, were combined to produce a rigorous yet creative and flexible method for field study of a recent IT-based innovation, virtual teams. Essentially, an action learning program was used to train facilitators of virtual teams and generate research data while grounded theory techniques were used to analyze and interpret the data. This paper shows how this combined method can be used to develop local and practical theory for complex, human-centered areas of information technology. The implications of this grounded action learning approach for practice and research in IS will …

United States And Africa On Fgm: Cultural Comparatives, Resolutions, And Rights, Julie R. Hess Jan 2004

United States And Africa On Fgm: Cultural Comparatives, Resolutions, And Rights, Julie R. Hess

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

When I began researching female genital mutilation (hereinafter "FGM"), I was adamant about change for those who are forced to submit to FGM, those who allow the practice to be performed on themselves or, afortiori, to perform it themselves on their own children and other family members.
