Immersive Virtual Reality or VR/VX stands poised to revolutionize healthcare education through interactive learning modules, overcoming current deficiencies in existing methodologies for instruction. This research compared the effectiveness of VR/VX-based training to traditional CT scanner operator training using a within-subjects design, involving 30 subjects, and concluded the effectiveness of using VR/VX in enhancing knowledge retention, task accomplishment, and engagement, and proved it by showing significant enhancement in immediate knowledge acquisition scores (Δ = 8.87, t(29) = 6.71, p < .0001), relative to delayed knowledge retention scores (Δ = 11.03, t(29) = 6.85, p < .0001), procedural achievement scores (Δ = 5.40, t(29) = 4.45, p = .0001), reduced overall task completion time using VR/VX for increased speed of execution (t(29) = 10.74, p < .0001), as well as reduced task errors for lower error rates using VR/VX in comparison to existing methodologies, as testified by the results, t(29) = 8.14, p < .0001, respectively, while showing no significant difference in usability, although assessed superior in terms of engagement and relative usefulness by the involved subjects.

Prevalence Of Polypharmacy And Its Association With Adverse Drug Effects Among Elderly Individuals In An Urban Field Practice Area Of A Tertiary Care Institution In South Kerala, Ajas Sn, Shameer Hakkim, Asha Raby N

Muthanna Medical Journal

Background: Polypharmacy (≥ 5 medications) is increasingly common among the elderly due to multimorbidity, longer life expectancy, and fragmented care, and is linked to adverse drug effects (ADEs). In urban Thiruvananthapuram, community-level evidence on its burden and ADE association is limited.This study was done to estimate the prevalence of polypharmacy among community-dwelling elderly and examine its independent association with self-reported ADEs. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional analytical study (March–December 2024) was conducted among 420 elderly individuals (≥ 60 years) selected via systematic random sampling. A validated interviewer-administered questionnaire (CVI = 0.94; ICC = 0.87) assessed medication use (past 30 days), ADEs, …

Reclaiming The Writing Process Using Ai: A Scaffolded Writing Assignment That Promotes Critical Thinking, Reflection, And Accountability, Hannah M. Schapiro, Manuela Tripepi, Julia Blackley

College of Life Sciences Faculty Papers

As the educational landscape changes with the widespread use of generative artificial intelligence (AI), we have made the deliberate choice to adapt with intention through the constructive integration of this tool within the curriculum. Writing assignments are often vulnerable to AI shortcuts, and therefore, we reimagined the project in our online microbiology lab to incorporate AI in a structured and pedagogically sound way that prioritizes both the writing process and the final product. Students must work with AI to create a script for a 5-minute video which they then illustrate and record on the differences between Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant …

Subtitling Strategies For Translating Korean Terms Of Address Into Indonesian, Annisa Puji Lestari, Usmi Usmi

Multikultura

This study examines the subtitling strategies used in translating Korean terms of address into Indonesian, with a focus on how sociocultural meanings embedded in Korean address systems are conveyed in the target language. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyses a corpus of dialogue excerpts taken from two Korean drama series. The findings identify seven categories of address terms: proper names, occupational titles, kinship terms, common nouns, attention-getters, pronouns, and child name-derived forms. Proper names are the most frequent category, followed by occupational titles, kinship terms, common nouns, and attention-getters, whereas pronouns and child name-based forms occur less frequently. …

Perceptions Of Novice Elementary Teachers Working In Mainstream Classrooms With English Language Learner Students, Cristin Mccue Apr 2026

Perceptions Of Novice Elementary Teachers Working In Mainstream Classrooms With English Language Learner Students, Cristin Mccue

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Research indicates preservice teacher training frequently does not foster the pedagogical and linguistic expertise required to support students developing English proficiency. The problem addressed through this study was that novice teachers do not have the skills and knowledge to meet the learning needs of English language learners (ELLs) in mainstream classrooms. Guided by the integrated collaborative learning approach, the purpose of this basic qualitative study was to examine how novice teachers perceive the challenges of supporting ELLs in mainstream classrooms and the types of support they believe are necessary for student success. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with 10 …

Prototyping For Game Design With Unlv Libraries, Silvey Benson, Amber Sewell

UNLV Best Teaching Practices Expo

Involving students in a hands-on creative way to implement ideation, design, and prototyping skills gives students the opportunity to apply the theory of iterative design. Students analyze and reverse engineer current game designs prior to beginning their own innovations. They are then encouraged to apply innovation and creativity to their own game designs, test the games’ effectiveness through having others play their game and provide feedback, and fail safely in a controlled environment. Students will ideally increase their tolerance for failure through the implementation of the iterative design process while gaining a variety of skills that will serve them outside …

“Finding From The Field”—An Approach To Encourageexperiential And Epistemological Reflection, Julian Kilker Apr 2026

“Finding From The Field”—An Approach To Encourageexperiential And Epistemological Reflection, Julian Kilker

UNLV Best Teaching Practices Expo

The “Findings from the Field” teaching practice asks students to document and analyze experiences, locations, or artifacts encountered outside the classroom. While traditional field trips emphasize experiential learning by, ideally, linking course concepts to real-world experiences, this “Findings from the Field” approach extends this model through epistemological reflection guided by annotating observations. Students are prompted to consider not only what they observe, but how they know what they know, encouraging metacognition about observation, experience, and empirical research.
