Core Subjects

As programming is one of the core subjects for BSc IT students, it is vital for them to have programming skill. However, students are often terrified of programming since it is a challenging subject. Traditionally, the programming teaching and learning process are limited to lectures and lab exercises. This approach is no longer appropriate in today's learning environment and required skills in the 21st century. Collaborative learning is acknowledged as an approach that fits the programming students. Thus, this chapter has adapted the collaborative approach in Programming 1 class. Three techniques were applied namely problem-based learning, buzz groups, and pair programming. At the end of the semester, an online survey to obtain students' opinions and a focus group discussion were conducted. In addition, the examination results of the repeaters were also compared. Results from the survey and focus group indicate that the collaborative approach is able to increase students' interest and the grade of the repeaters in the Programming 1 subject.

Communication and Information Science (CIS) can be effectively applied in a STEM environment if ICT is accessible to people including those who are visually impaired (VI). This is premised on that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has invaded every part of society, from home, industry and social life, as the world moves rapidly into digital media.  One way of ensuring the effective inclusion of VI people in communication and Information Science is to have an education system from preschool, secondary through to tertiary which has inclusive ICT education. Apart from engendering CIS, ICT promotes/enhances student-centered learning consistent with STEM objectives. Through Zimbabwe’s education system, the visually impaired (VI) people like anybody else, need to understand and apply ICT as a tool to aid their learning, professional development, and a means of socializing. What is questionable is whether the education system of Zimbabwe from preschool, prepares VI people to be effective users of ICT as STEM objectives suggest.  In order to gain insight, curricula documents for a selected teachers’ college T and Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education curriculum documents were analyzed.  Also, data was generated through interviews and focus group discussion with VI pre-service teachers at teachers’ college T. The interviews and focus group discussions aimed to generate data through VI pre-service teachers’ reflections on their primary and secondary school days, juxtaposed with their current experience during teacher training with respect to inclusivity on use of ICT as a tool for teaching and learning, aiding personal learning and social life interactions. All the 10 VI pre-service teachers involved in the study concurred that if ICT learning and application begins as early as primary level, one is bound to develop high competence and confidence in ICT use. However, a very supportive environment, morally and materially, was seen as crucial in developing high competence and confidence levels of VI persons in using ICT for learning and in social life.

Background: Over the years, mathematics and sciences have been performed poorly worldwide. There is an overwhelming high failure rates of mathematics and sciences in the marginalized schools found in Nakivale refugee settlement in Uganda. Electronic (e)-learning tools could be promising interactive strategies for teaching mathematics and sciences. There is lack of studies documenting educational challenges in the refugee settlement, and how e-learning can address the challenges.Objective: To identify the challenges experienced in teaching and learning mathematics and sciences in schools found in Nakivale refugee settlement, and explore the potentials of using e-learning to address the identified challenges.Methods: We employed a parallel mixed methods study design that utilized focus group discussions and surveys. We purposively conducted a focus group discussion with the 17 mathematics/science teachers that we had trained (in e-learning) from 6 schools in Nakivale refugee settlement. We also administered surveys to 267 learners and mathematics/science teachers of the six participating schools.Results: Educational challenges reported by participants are: 1) lack of access to modern teaching and learning resources, 2) Leaners’ negative attitudes towards mathematics and science, 3) overwhelming number of learners in class. 4) Lack of ICT pedagogical skills. They anticipated that e-learning could potentially: 1) enable unlimited and flexible access to educational resources, and 2) enhance engagement, interest and understanding of learning concepts. They however worried about the availability of sufficient technological infrastructure (e.g. internet, computers, and electricity) and skills to use the application. Conclusion: E-learning may enable unlimited and flexible access to educational resources, and enhance engagement, interest and understanding of learning concepts, which could potentially improve performance in mathematics and sciences in otherwise marginalized schools.

Discharge planning adalah suatu proses multidisplin yang melibatkan Profesioanal Pemberi Asuhan (PPA) dan Manajer Pelayanan Pasien (MPP) yang bertujuan untuk mengurangi lama tinggal atau perawatan di rumah sakit, mencegah terjadinya readmisi dan meningkatkan kordinasi layanan setelah keluar dari rumah sakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kolaborasi multidisiplin pelaksanaan discharge planning di RSUD Haji Makassar dengan menggunakan pendekatan observasional pre-post implementasi pendokumentasian discharge planning dan metode wawancara dalam bentuk focus group discussion (FGD) terhadap kepala bidang keperawatan, kepala ruangan, ketua tim, perawat pelaksana dan tim pokja. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah instrumen wawancara dan instrumen discharge planning terintegrasi. Hasil yang didapatkan yaitu pendokumentasian discharge planning di RSUD Haji Makassar belum optimal sehingga dilakukan beberapa program kegiatan yaitu studi literature, penyegaran tim, pelatihan, pembuatan panduan, form dan SOP discharge planning, uji coba form dan evaluasi. Setelah implementasi didapatkan peningkatan pendokumentasian discharge planning menjadi 77.7%, Selain itu, discharge planning juga dilakukan pada saat pasien masuk di ruang rawat inap hingga pasien sebelum pulang. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian selanjutnya dibutuhkan penelitian terkait pendokumenatsian discharge planning secara multidisiplin, serta perlunya monitoring dan evaluasi terhadap pelaksanaan discharge planning. Multidisciplinary Collaboration on Discharge Planning Implementation ABSTRACTDischarge planning is a multidisciplinary process that involves the Professional Care Provider (PPA) and the Patient Services Manager (MPP) aims to reduce the length of stay or treatment in the hospital, prevent readmissions and improve service coordination after discharge from the hospital. This research to evaluate multidisciplinary collaboration implementation of discharge planning in Haji Hospital Makassar using an observational approach pre-post implementation of discharge planning documentation and interview method in focus group discussions (FGD) of head nurse, chief nurse, team leader, nurse associate, and team. The instrument used was an interview instrument and an integrated discharge planning instrument. The results obtained were documentation of discharge planning in Haji Hospital Makassar was not optimal so that several program activities were literature study, team refreshment, training, making guidelines, form and SOP discharge planning, trial form, and evaluation. After implementation, there was an increase in the documentation of discharge planning to 77.7%. In addition, discharge planning was also carried out when the patient entered the inpatient room to the patient before leaving. Therefore, further research is needed in order to discharge planning documentation by a multidisciplinary team, monitoring, and evaluation of the discharge planning implementation. Keyword: Multidisciplinary Collaboration; Discharge Planning
