Abstract Background: Emergency Medicine (EM) is a developing specialty worldwide. In Chile, it has been developing for 25 years, however, there is a need for further progress. Aim: We aimed to explore the current postgraduate curriculum in Chile and identify ways to standardise and improve it.Methods: A qualitative case study approach was used to explore perspectives on EM curriculum development via interviewing residents, graduates and programme directors and documentary analysis of academic and governmental guidelines. Both data sets were evaluated through Thematic Analysis.Results: Four documents were analysed, and eight interviews conducted. Three main themes emerged from both data sets: curriculum structure, influence of context and expectations of an Emergency Physician. Additionally, interviews offered a fourth theme: perspectives of EM. They convey how current programmes focus on workplace learning and protected time for learning strategies, however, they differ in clinical exposure and quality of training. As a priority, collaboration was identified, emphasising a need for programmes to work together towards ensuring quality Conclusion: Overall, this study identifies similarities and differences among programmes, and common areas for improvement. There is agreement on the need for a standardized curriculum, considering local context and societal needs. This study assesses curriculum development, understanding cultural, social and educational influences.

Abstract: This article aims to reveal the media and learning strategies at SekolahLuar Biasa (SLB) Putera Asih Kediri. Education is something important for everyIndonesian citizen. It does not distinguish between gender, ethnicity, race, culture,religion, even for children with special needs (Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus/ABK).However, the media and learning strategies used by the teacher in an extraordinaryschool (SLB) are certainly different from the teachers in public schools. This articlewas written according to a qualitative research that used a case study approach toreveal the implementation of PBL in SLB Putera Asih Kediri. This article concludethat every school needs creative teachers to use media and learning strategi es. Forthis reason, it is expected that each young generation can utilize media and learningstrategies that are appropriate to the needs of the students. PBL is very relevantwith the needs of ABK in SLB because it can be combined with the teacheroriented study. PBL can be used as an alternative learning strategy to increase theunderstanding of ABK, so they can solve their daily problems

Background: Effective interprofessional collaboration may positively impact clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and cost effectiveness. However, educational silos and discipline-specific socialization have reinforced each health profession’s independent values, attitudes, and problem-solving approaches.Methods and Findings: Students’ (N = 376) attitudes about teamwork were measured with the Interprofessional Attitudes Scale, Teamwork, Roles, and Responsibilities subscale using a pretest-posttest design. Experiential learning strategies and a case study approach were used to introduce students to the roles and responsibilities of the students’ disciplines. There was a positive mean difference in pretest-posttest measures (p < .001) with a moderate effect size (r = .27).Conclusions: Providing opportunities for pre-licensure health sciences students to understand the roles and responsibilities of other disciplines through IPE co-curricular learning can enhance positive attitudes toward teamwork.

Self Repair

Self-repair is one of the language learning strategies of second language learners that are distinctly different from each other. This study aims to investigate the use of repetition as self-repair in academic speaking. The researcher tried to find the types of lexical elements which frequently repeated in the academic speaking and dig up the underlying reason behind the repetition as self-repair. A case study was conducted using human instruments and interviews to collect the data. Once the data filled, the researcher analyzed the data by implementing a data archive, trying to expand the codes, evaluating the data sets, and wrapping up the data. The findings from this study revealed that the participants in this study might have used English in speech situations in which they would have used recycling the mistake word. The result of the study found that the participant did indeed self-repair Type D, which consisted of repetition and replacement of one lexical item, and nouns became the most repeated lexical item in the academic speaking. This was a delay strategy as she waited to restart the speech as she needed to think about the next word so that the listeners didn't misinterpret her. Twisted tongue and slip of tongue as a result of the participant’s first language interference contributed to the repetition of certain lexical elements as self-repair.

<p>This study sought to explore the academic learning experiences of a group of secondary international students. A number of schools provide education to international students in this country, however little attention has been paid to exploring this group of students’ academic learning. This study addressed the subject with two questions: What are international ELL students’ perspectives on their mainstream academic learning; and What do mainstream teachers report facilitate these students’ learning? I used a case study approach to examine the five students’ and four teachers’ experiences in their unique settings (Lichtman, 2013), as reported by them (Cohen, Manion & Morrison, 2011). I transcribed and coded the interviews. According to both teachers and students, group activities and the teachers’ scaffolding via one-to-one oral discussions or written feedback were the most productive learning strategies for students. From the perspective of Vygotsky’s (1978) concept of the Zone of Proximal Development, the students appeared to move towards independent learning through supported interactions with their peers and teachers to achieve the learning outcomes in their mainstream subjects.</p>

AbstractUrban regeneration emerged during the 1990s as a policy area aimed at addressing urban decay through a novel approach to overcoming the limitations rooted in physical sectoral transformation. From that point on, a number of integrating mechanisms and relevant topics have emerged in this field, aimed at resolving current urban problems. At this juncture, when climate change has now been recognized as one of the most pressing urban challenges, urban regeneration needs to integrate adaptation to climate change as a crucial basis for action toward resilient urban transformation. This study springs from the recognition of the relevance of this policy approach, the analysis of which is undertaken focusing on three European cities – Copenhagen, Vienna, and Madrid – to understand whether and how the three municipalities are currently integrating adaptation to climate change within their urban regeneration programs. This objective is addressed through a mixed qualitative methodology that uses the case study approach to analyze the policy process, drivers, and obstacles that are fostering or limiting that vision in each local context. The research responds to the questions posed, showing the transformative capacity of integrating adaptation explicitly in the “common” regeneration practice of municipalities, the relevance of the development of local capacity as a crucial element for that, and other main factors that enable cities to advance or keep rooted in “traditional practices.”

This study aims to examine the role of the environment on the formation of children's character in Jogja Green School. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection techniques used interviews with school principals and class teachers, observations of children in Caterpillar A and Caterpillar classes as well as documentation studies such as daily plain activity, weekly plain activity, daily notes, and children's work documented in the classroom. Data analysis techniques with data reduction, then all data are presented with perfect and good exposure, and make conclusions and verify data. The results showed that the social environment significantly influenced the formation of children's character through learning strategies and methods. Jogja Green School together with parents and the community creates a conducive environment in forming good character of children. The school always communicates with the family through diary or meet directly related to the child's development, so parents understand that the education provided at home must be in accordance with the education available at the school, besides that the school or family has the task of providing stimulus to the community. The community does not teach children with negative words, does not scold the child when the child accidentally destroys neighboring plants but rather gives an understanding to the child, so the child must apologize when making a mistake.

This paper reports on the success and suitability of a Western-donated school library in furthering literacy and reader development in Malawi. A qualitative, case study approach was taken using semi-structured interviews with teachers and a library assistant at a primary school in Malawi. The research reveals positive attitudes towards reading and literacy in a predominantly oral culture. Limitations include a lack of attention to reader development and inappropriateness of materials for the local context. The study reveals that the book donation model commonly supported by international donors and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) falls short in its ability to contribute to global literacy and education targets. Recommendations to improve impact are given. This research is original in representing the voices of school teachers in the debate over the suitability of libraries and the overseas book donation model to the sub-Saharan African context.

Even though technology has become a key driver in preparing sports management students for an increasingly globalized industry, it is unclear whether the affordances of these technologies contribute to the transformation of the learning environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate how a learner-generated video assessment develops students’ critical thinking and engagement with the theoretical concepts taught in an undergraduate second-year Sociology of Sport course. Data were gathered using a qualitative case study approach. Students found the video assessment enjoyable; it promoted critical thinking and engagement with theory. However, students were less interested in technology-based assessment than the need for courses to align learning strategies and assessment methods to the graduate capabilities required to transform their discipline in the workplace. We argue that it is this alignment that will lead to a transformation in the learning environment and quality student engagement, rather than the video technology itself.

Abstract This article presents a qualitative study about ways in which social work services for disadvantaged children can be indigenised in a Southeast Asian country. The research employed a multiple case study approach with five selected international organisations. Thirty-nine in-depth interviews, three group discussions combined with document analysis and participant observations being conducted. The findings have showcased Vietnamese social work professionalisation in the process of internationalisation through foreign influences. The study pictures the involvement of international organisations and its relation with local partners in the development of social work services in the local context. Importantly, the findings advocate for the complex process of indigenisation through the application of cultural relevance, contextual appropriateness and localisation of services for local disadvantaged children.
