The purpose of this article is to describe and analyse the different strategies applied in the framework of the design and management of the Master’s Degree in Cultural Studies and Visual Arts (feminist and queer perspectives), MUECA, an official master’s research degree taught on line and semi-presentially at Miguel Hernández University. For this reason, and to understand how this defines its teaching model and its inverted curriculum, we analyse not only the status quo the curriculum of MUECA and its teaching or its human and material resources (people and machines), but the personal and situated experiences that serve to announce and analyse the initial motivations that have originated a set of decisions regarding its implementation and development. The materials that generate estrangement, contact and queer pedagogies, situated epistemologies, affect networks, counter-productivity (quality versus quantity), from feminist and queer perspectives, have determined in addition to the contents, other forms of doing academic work and research within the strategies marked by the norms (educational legislation and regulations). MUECA enables an innovative teaching-learning experience in its specific framework, which has great potential for intervention in the social field and for widening the margins of action.

The article sought to put the social and political agency of the Trogir Canons in the period from 1300 to 1360 into the wider context of political conflicts that took place between opposing noble factions within the Trogir commune in the 14th century. However, before commencing with the analysis, the author gives a basic insight into the status and infrastructure of the Trogir ecclesiastical organization, situated in its respective Dalmatian- Croatian and Hungarian context. Starting with the normative definition of a Cathedral Chapter, which exists to assist the Bishop and engage in the pastoral care of its human flock, the article compares the idea with the practical dealings of the Trogir Canons. It is highlighted that their dealings were almost primarily concerned with these-worldly matters. On the other hand, and on the basis of tracking several Trogir Canons, namely Jacob son of Peter (Vitturi), John son of Peter (Castrafoci), Stephan son of Michael (Cega), Lampredius son of Jacob (Vitturi), Kazarica son of Martin (Kazarice), Albert son of Marinus (Andreis) and some others, which are heavily exposed in the primary sources, it is argued that the Trogir Cathedral Chapter was not functioning in practice as an independent church corporation, rather than the Canons were in one way or another involved in the factional strifes. More precisely, the considered canons were deeply connected with the noble families, from which practically all of them originated, and sequentially with the informal factions. Therefore, the Canons exploited the existing institutional (corporate) framework and material resources of the Cathedral Chapter in the pursuit of their own individual or factional goals. In that respect, the Cathedral Chapter cannot be considered as an entity separate from the activities of the city lay authorities, regardless of the actual distinction in political and judicial jurisdiction between ecclesiastical and secular institutions. The Case of Trogir provided very fruitful material, which allowed the unraveling of social and political networks and the role of individual participants in the collective (political) agency. In other words, the paper put the focus more on individual agency, and less to structures, bearing in mind that individual agency is exactly that which shapes the institutions in the end.

Abstract Background In this study, we applied the small private online course (SPOC) and team-based learning (TBL) blended teaching model to dermatology and venereology to ensure a higher quality learning experience for clinical medical students. Methods A total of 52 fifth-grade clinical undergraduates from Xiangya School of Medicine of Central South University were randomly divided into an experimental (n = 26) and a control group (n = 26). In March 2018, we used the SPOC and TBL blended teaching model in the experimental group and explored the effects of innovative teaching in the dermatology and venereology course, compared with the control group receiving the conventional teaching method. We analyzed the two groups’ theoretical assessment scores and questionnaire results to evaluate the efficiency of the new pedagogy. Results Students in the experimental group had a better understanding than the control group of the dermatology and venereology content and higher scores on the case analysis questions in the final theoretical examination. The results revealed that the majority of the experimental group students agreed that the novel teaching model blended with SPOC&TBL helped them significantly stimulate motivation and develop their ability in self-directed learning, independent thinking, literature retrieval, presentation board, teamwork, communication, and systematic clinical thinking. The teaching satisfaction survey of the two groups showed that the students’ satisfaction in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions The SPOC&TBL teaching model is better than the traditional one in enriching students’ professional knowledge and cultivating their comprehensive ability. It can effectively promote educational quality, improve students’ learning effects, and enhance their satisfaction. This method has broad application prospects.

The constructivist paradigm offers the possibility for making group process central rather than peripheral to the teaching/learning experience. From this perspective, the teacher is a facilitator rather than an expert, the classroom is a dynamic group, and teaching is a form of groupwork. “Grounded discussion,” a teaching innovation developed from this paradigm, relies heavily on group process skills of the teacher/facilitator. Although clearly relevant to the teaching and modeling of groupwork in particular, it can be used across the social work curriculum.

The Teaching-Learning process is complex; First, the interest, and motivation of the student is important. In addition to the above, the social and cultural context can have a positive or negative influence on learning in the area of mathematics and particularly on the notions of probability. The present work presents a didactic proposal that is supported by the use of computational tools. The objective of this proposal is to improve the understanding and fixation of concepts of counting techniques through the use of visual and descriptive forms (appropriate tables and codifications). Real-life examples are presented, so that the student can build formal definitions that allow generalizations under mathematical rigor. For the design of the teaching strategy we rely on constructivist and learning theories under didactic situations. These teaching models have great educational potential because they encourage reflection and analysis. In this way the student acquires skills in the approach, resolution, interpretation and verification of probability problems. In a second stage it is expected to experiment with the application of this proposal in the classroom. In this way, difficulties in teaching-learning processes can be identified and innovative teaching strategies can be proposed.

The purpose of this qualitative research study was to describe the students’ learning experience when utilizing a team teaching approach in an online doctoral program at a private university located within the Southwestern region of the United States. The theoretical foundation of Community of Inquiry developed by Garrison, Anderson, and Archer (2000) supported this study. The overarching question that drove this study was, “How do students in an online doctoral program describe the team teaching learning experience?” The sample consisted of six doctoral students from a private university enrolled in an online doctoral course. Participants were interviewed and videotaped using Zoom. Data were obtained through semistructured interviews with open-ended questions that focused on the student experience. The interviews were transcribed and coded to identify themes. The discussion of the findings included the importance of access to the instructor, instructor feedback, and student support. Participants reported that their student learning experience was enhanced due to the team teaching model. Future research should examine the team teaching model from the perspective of the instructor and from a variety of courses.

Educational strategies are designed to cope with and fulfill the multifarious pedagogical and educational needs of teachers and learners. Moreover, no educational plan can possibly yield the required results without incorporating suitable instructive strategies. This research paper advocates the role and importance of schemas in learning new forms of knowledge and data in the perspective of class room teaching-learning. Cognitive approach is adopted to understand how students learn new forms of knowledge and experiences through different mental processes, quite unlike that of behaviorism. The concept of schema helps us understand how learners can link new pieces of information to the already existing knowledge in their minds. The notion of ‘Constructivist Approach’ has been extracted from the field of educational psychology for triangulation. Extracts are taken from the textbooks of English used in matriculation and intermediate through purposive sampling. Their analysis shows that schemas can play a vital role in enhancing the learning experience and making new forms of knowledge a permanent part of the memory of students which is the ultimate goal of education.
