Scholarly Collaboration

Abstract Baccalaureate nursing curriculum generally include a research or evidence-based practice course, but students may have little opportunity for specific application of the research process during their nursing education. Using Modeling and Role-modeling as a theoretical framework, a scholarly collaboration between faculty and student was developed to promote a unique and engaging undergraduate research endeavor. Faculty researchers developed an exploratory community-based research study to survey the local population about the immediate and lingering physical, financial, psychological, and emotional effects of Hurricane Harvey on the community. The project allowed students to gain invaluable knowledge about the research process, time management techniques, application of theory to the practice setting, community health assessment, collaboration among team members, and achieve student learning outcomes. Student participation in this research project provided necessary collaboration and leadership experiences that will benefit students during school and in their professional practice.

Course and subject development teams are increasingly seen in the tertiary online teaching environment and they face a unique set of challenges. The purpose of this study was to synthesise and share learnings of 12 academics involved in the development of subjects with an external partner for a new multidisciplinary online health science course at an Australian university, in order to improve ongoing development within the course and inform new course development. In this case study, thematic analysis of focus group discussions and qualitative survey data identified five key themes related to the development process: time management, setting expectations, communication, the development team, and ownership. Barriers to productive subject development included unrealistic timelines, unclear lines of communication, unmet or unrealistic expectations and lack of recognition of team members’ expertise, and lack of support for genuine collaboration. Team-based development of an online course has the potential to be a rewarding experience for academics. In order for the benefits to be realised, approaches to development underpinned by a community-centred framework, observing core values such as collaboration, shared sense of purpose and expectations, would address a number of the issues identified in this study.

The University

In this paper, we present partial results and discussion of a community environmental health project in Nogales to illustrate how participatory mapping was applied to an existing project that had been participatory and community-based since it was initiated over six years ago. The GIS portion of the project was arranged via a partnership with the University of Arizona's Center for Applied Spatial Analysis (CASA) and was initially conceived as a means by which we could assemble a spatial database for Ambos, Nogales that would not only facilitate this project's immediate goals, but would also serve as a long-term GIS-data resource for the ongoing projects operating in and around Nogales associated with the University of Arizona's Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology (BARA). While we are interested in the spatial analytics of the GIS data and the potential for future work in this arena, our primary focus for this paper is on the practice of mapping and the interaction in response to/with these maps that emerged as part of this process. Integrating a mapping component into an existing participatory research project was an opportunity to conceptualize how participatory mapping might be added to (or perhaps already occurring in) a community-based research context, as well as to consider how effective or useful this addition might be in aiding analysis, facilitating project goals, and promoting continued interaction with research participants. But before we can talk about the process and outcomes, first, a bit more information on the context itself.

Definition Of

Collaborative teaching methods is related with Pedagogy theory in academician achievement as team members (Armstrong (1977); cited in David Nunan (1992)). The definition of collaborative teaching approach is known as team teaching in classrooms practices, with a group of creative thinkers to brainstorm about ideas or other creative problems. This practice should be done continuously to be effective. However, there are some challenges that educator will face when practicing collaborative teaching in classroom. The challenges include clash of teaching hours, misconducting time management for students, percentage of rubric assessment, and confusion in terms of differing opinion from educators. Collaborative teaching also known as team teaching is an approach to educate students with two or more teachers in the classroom for a same subject (Robinson et al., 1995).

This research is entitled: "Application of the Quantum Hijaiyah Method in Improving the Ability to Read the Koran of the Muslim Community in West Kalimantan”. The purpose of this study is to guide the convert community (muallaf) to be able to read the Qur'an properly and correctly, equipping them with the ability to practice one of the teachings of Islam, namely to read the holy verses of the Qur'an in order to increase the spirit of converts in practicing Islamic teachings.The object of this research is the Muslim convert community (muallaf) in Senyabang Village, Sanggau District and the Muslim Community in Menjalin Village, Menjalin District, Landak Regency. This qualitative research model targets the social community as an active part of the research process, in order to increase the effectiveness of the data collection and analysis process to produce a recommendation that is truly beneficial for the improvement of the quality of their social life. The community-based research approach is more suitable if it uses an action research model, as applied research that requires dynamic and clinical trials. The results of the study were in the form of application a method of learning the Qur'an in an easier time with the Quantum Hijaiyah method. The training and development participants showed an increase in the mastery of reading hijaiyah letters and verses of the Qur'an during 19 hours of effective learning starting from pre-test, training and post-test activities. Increasing the reading ability of participants is proven by the results of tests and testimonials or acknowledgment from each participant who acknowledges the changes and improvement in the quality of reading the verses of the Qur'an.

The reasons for introducing Web 2.0 tools into the business area are multiple, from efficiency to better time management. The provision of online services by companies develops the computer skills of team members, and the materials provided through Web tools 2.0 can be accessed by a larger number of end users and their quality can be permanently evaluated. This chapter proposes to investigate the motivational factors of the usage of Web tools 2.0 by companies' team members. In particular, the research is focused on e-learning based on Web 2.0 tools for training sessions organized by companies in Romania. The in-depth analysis revealed that this generally positive perception of using the e-learning course is founded on a series of objective aspects, identified in a multiple linear regression model, ranging from the perception of the benefit of professional development to the subjective character given by user experience (UX).

Critical Participatory Action Research

Conducting critical community research during the COVID-19 pandemic has brought unexpected challenges to academic communities. In this chapter, the authors analyze the obstacles faced in a Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR) education project with a rural community of former guerrilla members in the Amazon piedmont in Colombia. After this analysis, the authors present four CPAR principles to support critical community work during difficult times. The authors argue that communicative action, horizontal community participation in all the stages of the research process, time commitment, and the leverage of other competing needs should be guaranteed and maintained during times of crisis. CPAR offers opportunities to advocate better conditions for the most affected communities in moments of increasing inequality.

This editorial draws attention to time to advance entrepreneurship research by focusing on two aspects of time—time perspective and time management. We initiate a deeper conversation on time in entrepreneurship and illustrate the value of a time-based lens for entrepreneurship research through discussing examples at the individual, firm and context levels. These examples consider underdog and portfolio entrepreneurs; well-being; social and unethical entrepreneurial behavior; entrepreneurial teams and entrepreneur–investor dyads; firm strategy; industry and cultural contexts. We review promising methods for time-conscious entrepreneurship research: process, true longitudinal, diary, experience sampling, observational, work-shadowing and time-use studies; historical approaches; experiments; and simulations.

This article explores the effectiveness of writing to help nurse-learners develop critical thinking in an asynchronous, online learning environment. The formal written assignments of students in an online nursing health assessment program were analyzed for evidence of critical thinking according to Johns’ Model of Structured Reflection (Johns, 1995) based on Carper’s Ways of Knowing in Nursing (Carper, 1978), as well as for growth in discipline-specific writing. Informal contributions by participants and the instructor were studied for evidence of interaction. Results indicated that the online learning environment provided an effective forum that facilitated critical thinking and reflection through writing.
