Abstract: Introduction: In medical education, feedback is considered one of the main types of formative assessment. Feedback can be defined as the transmission of information by observing students in action aiming to provide improvement for the acquisition of medical skills that constitute medical professionalism. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess if there are difficulties in transmitting and receiving feedback by preceptors and students during the practical stages of medical training. Methods: This qualitative / quantitative design study involved all students who completed the internship from March 2018 to August 2019 (n = 50), as well as all preceptors responsible for the internships (n = 9) at Universidade Municipal de São Caetano do Sul. Knowledge about feedback, according to the viewpoint of students and preceptors, was assessed using adapted questionnaires with categorical and open questions. Descriptive analyses were used for the quantitative data and the content technique for the qualitative data. Results: The preceptors report that the objectives of providing feedback are to point out improvement, critical reflection, and opportunity for adjustments. Meanwhile, students report: clarification of doubts, planning for improvements and knowledge of positive points. Half of the preceptors claim to provide very frequent feedback, but students would like to receive feedback more often. Students want feedback to be constructive and private. Half of the preceptors find it difficult to give negative feedback; however, 60% of the students report handling criticism well. Conclusion: The preceptors declare to have knowledge of and know about the objectives of giving feedback; however, they have difficulties communicating it, especially when it involves criticisms for the correction of behaviors and attitudes. The students accept criticism and would like feedback to be conveyed more often in the practical stages. It is necessary to improve the process of providing and receiving feedback.

Abstract This paper has three components. They are feedback, the way of learning, and vocabulary acquisition. This research was based on the learning situation that teachers and students have to conduct online learning because of the pandemic Covid 19. This paper elaborates the three components mentioned before. In the process of assessment, feedback is the important part. When students learning at school, teachers will give feedback directly. The way of giving feedback in language learning will influence students’ vocabulary acquisition. But, in different way of learning, teachers cannot give feedback directly as in the classroom. This situation gives different influence in students’ vocabulary acquisition. Then teachers do the alternative assessment in the process of online learning.   Keywords: Feedback, Vocabulary Acquisition, Assessment

This paper investigates the issue of the global financial crisis and its impacts on philanthropy and civil society organisations (CSOs) in Malaysia. CSOs are popularly known as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Malaysia. Financial crisis has caused NGOs in many countries to receive less funding. This situation may threaten and discourage voluntary works. Undoubtedly, these beneficial contributions from the NGOs are needful services to the society. This paper examines the impact of financial crisis through the lens of NGOs and philanthropy activities in Malaysia. It utilises primary and secondary data, employs a mixed method approach, and uses quantitative and qualitative data. While there are many influencing factors in this development, this paper presents several significant aspects in the Malaysian context, including the style and nature of giving, culture, religion, and political pressure. This study attempts to seek potential solutions, pathways and possible approaches beneficial to NGOs and philanthropy activities for their sustainability in facing the financial crisis and its consequences. Experiences and lessons learnt in Malaysia may well be useful and applicable to some extent in other countries.

<p><strong>INTRODUCTION: </strong>Low and middle-income countries face a continued burden of chronic illness and non-communicable diseases while continuing to show very low health worker utilization. With limited numbers of medical schools and a workforce shortage the poor health outcomes seen in many low and middle income countries are compounded by a lack of within country medical training.</p><p><strong>METHODS: </strong>Using a systematic approach, this paper reviews the existing literature on training outcomes in low and middle-income countries in order to identify effective strategies for implementation in the developing world. This review examined training provided by high-income countries to low- and middle-income countries.</p><p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>Based on article eligibility, 24 articles were found to meet criteria. Training methods found include workshops, e-learning modules, hands-on skills training, group discussion, video sessions, and role-plays. Of the studies with statistically significant results training times varied from one day to three years. Studies using both face-to-face and video found statistically significant results.</p><p><strong>DISCUSSION:</strong> Based on the results of this review, health professionals from high-income countries should be encouraged to travel to low- middle-income countries to assist with providing training to health providers in those countries.</p>

ABSTRACTResearch shows that contact with nature plays a vital role in our psychological wellbeing. Domestic gardening is common among older adults who spend more leisure hours gardening than any other age group. Despite this, few studies have systematically explored the significance of domestic gardens in relation to older adults' health and wellbeing. This study examined the perceived therapeutic benefits of gardening, and the effect of ageing in relation to older gardeners' continued participation in gardening, using quantitative and qualitative data from a survey of Australian older adult gardeners (N=331). The quantitative data, which included frequencies, were analysed using the PASW Statistics 18.0 package. The qualitative data, which included participants' responses to open questions, were analysed by deriving themes via Leximancer, an innovative text analytics software that uses word association information to elicit concepts, extracting the most important and grouping these according to themes. In relation to the reasons for gardening, several themes were identified including valuing the aesthetics of gardens, connecting with nature, achievement, and physical and mental activity. The benefits of gardening, and the variety of ways that respondents had adapted or modified their gardening activities in order to continue, are also reported. Gardening was more than a casual leisure pursuit for these participants, who saw it as critical to their physical and psychological wellbeing.

The results of the observation informed that 80% of respondents claimed to be able to access and use e-learning madrasah. Online learning innovations using e-learning madrasah help students undergo learning during the pandemic. The implementation of online learning using e-learning madrasah is quite effective even there is ineffectiveness in the evaluation process. Teacher professionalism is needed in online learning using e-learning madrasah in order to create fun and meaningful learning. Improving the application is also still needed to make e-learning madrasah easier to use (user-friendly). The obstacles in online learning can be overcome by the collaboration between madrasah, parents, teachers, and students.
