Suitable Case

Open-ended or closed-ended case study design schemes offer different educational advantages. Anatomy and physiology faculty members who participated in a conference workshop were given an identical case about blood doping and asked to build either an open-ended study or a closed-ended study. The workshop participants created a rich array of case questions. Participant-written learning objectives and case questions were compared, and the questions were examined to determine whether they satisfied criteria for open or closed endedness. Many of the participant-written learning objectives were not well matched with the case questions, and participants had differing success writing suitable case questions. Workshop participants were more successful in creating closed-ended questions than open-ended ones. Eighty-eight percent of the questions produced by participants assigned to write closed-ended questions were considered closed ended, whereas only 43% of the questions produced by participants assigned to write open-ended questions were deemed open ended. Our findings indicate that, despite the fact that instructors of anatomy and physiology recognize the value of open-ended questions, they have greater difficulty in creating them. We conclude that faculty should pay careful attention to learning outcomes as they craft open-ended case questions if they wish to ensure that students are prompted to use and improve their higher-order thinking skills.

Safe Learning Environment

It is crucial that, at the point of registration, midwives can competently interpret intrapartum cardiotocographs (CTGs). It is therefore important that practice assessors are confident teaching the safe and accurate interpretation of CTGs to the students they support. This paper uses a case study to examine how CTG interpretation can be taught most effectively. Humanistic learning theories can be used to create a psychologically safe-learning environment which is enjoyable for both the student and the practice assessor. Using a taxonomy of learning enables midwives to help the student develop higher order thinking skills, while understanding the learning style of that individual student allows midwives to incorporate tailored teaching in their clinical work. In addition to providing feedback, it is beneficial to encourage self-reflection and the student midwife's newly learned skills can be solidified by peer teaching.

The use of instruction tools that only explains the instruction material, but does not know the extent to which students' understanding causes the instruction process to be less than optimal. This study aims to find out the development process, feasibility, and the influence of using student worksheet based on higher order thinking skills in improving Mathematics learning outcomes at MIN 3 Tulungagung and SDI Qurrota A'yun Ngunut Tulungagung. This study uses the development research model of Borg, and Gall. The results show that: (1) The development of HOTS-based worksheets begins with preparing instruction materials in accordance with the Core Competencies and Basic Competencies listed in the 2013 Curriculum.Furthermore, the researcher makes examples of HOTS questions that are in accordance with the material that has been presented, making questions individual and group practice questions and then make competency test questions at the end of the chapter. (2) The worksheets based on HOTS are suitable for use in improving Mathematics learning outcomes. This can be seen from the results of due diligence by media and material experts. (3) There is an influence of using HOTS-based worksheets as indicated by the significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental class that does instruction using HOTS-based worksheets and the control class that does instruction without HOTS-based worksheets. This is based on the data from the t-test results in which sig-2 0.040 <0.050 is obtained.

The results of the learning test show that almost more than half of the students have not been able to solve the questions well, so learning improvements or innovations are needed. Problem based learning is one of the recommended learning models in the implementation of the 2013 curriculum because this model is proven to be able to stimulate higher-order thinking skills by designing problems in real contexts. The purpose of this action research is to improve learning outcomes and student motivation in the application of the Problem Based Learning model in learning physics. The subjects of this study were students of class XI MIPA 2, Public Senior High School 12 Pekanbaru. This research is a classroom action research conducted in 2 cycles. The results of this study obtained test data on the learning outcomes of students in cycle I with absorption of 75.25%, in cycle II absorption of 81.29%, motivation of students in learning cycle I and cycle II in good categories.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the opinions of pre-service teachers regarding the teaching of digital storytelling, which is one of the methods where students actively participate in the learning process, produce content, and learn while having fun, unlike the conventional methods. The research was undertaken as a case study. The study was carried out in Gazi University in the 2015-2016 academic year. The results of the research suggest that the pre-service teachers were mostly pleased with the digital storytelling task. Pre-service teachers who studied in groups were more satisfied and the pre-service teachers believed that digital storytelling positively affected many higher-order thinking skills, creativity in particular. Although higher-order thinking skills are not expected to improve with such short tasks, it can be suggested that the topic may have a positive effect.
