Ordinary Consciousness

He problem of interaction between language and society is more and more relevant in the modern world. Changes of the world have influenced the discourse in various spheres of communication. Moreover the progress of medicine has led to changes in the system of medical terms, and, consequently, to difficulties in understanding of terms in the ordinary consciousness. A person always wants to understand other people and to be understood by them. So it is the main goal of communication. The article deals with the issue of the functioning of medical terms in the minds of first-year French-speaking students. First-year stu- dents have the ordinary consciousness. Medical terms, which are studied by them (first-year students), function in the ordinary consciousness in incorrect form. It's because they are based on associations, feelings which the person has during the process of cognition, and, therefore, they must be interpreted. During the process of learning, there is a need to clarify the personal meanings that medical students have in regarding to special terms. In this article the author gives the results of the research concerning the French-speaking students' knowledge of medical terminology. The author gives examples of the perception and rethinking of medical terms based on common knowledge and examines the formation of scientific knowledge to develop the language of medicine in the consciousness of students and its competent use in the future.

Queen’s University has a common first year for engineering. A few years ago a project/design course was introduced, APSC100, which has been quite successful. It was predicated on the fact that students who are attracted to engineering are really excited about the possibility of “doing engineering” early in their student experience. The design of Chemical processes is something that few if any first year students have any appreciation of. We are in the process of developing a project for APSC100 which will introduce the subject as well as have the students work with a commercial FlowSheet simulator. We believe that simulators “warts and all (1)” can be an excellent learning tool, and exposure to these programs is essential as they have become so much a part of today’s engineering career experience. Commercial Flowsheet simulators continue to be a challenge for people with many years familiarity with these systems. There is however a potential for a great deal of learning about the “design process” by the use of these tools, provided these tools are presented in such a way as to be challenging but not intimidating. The paper will describe the approach to developing the APSC100 module, the challenges faced and the anticipated solutions. One particular problem will be developing something that will interest a broad spectrum of students. It has been noted that “Chemistry” often seems to be a subject that is avoided by many. This module will hopefully demonstrate the fact that “Chemistry” is one of the basic sciences and how it is the basis for much of the product of the modern world. Since this is a “work-in-progress” we anticipate and welcome suggestions as to how to present a successful module to our students.

As a private college-oriented quality, Widyatama University has some quality commitments including receiving potential prospective students and giving priority to customer satisfaction. However, the university only uses entrance exam score, does not use previous academic performance such as national exam score to select potential prospective students. The aims of this research were to examine and to evaluate the factors which affect students’ First Year Cumulative GPA (FYCGPA) in Widyatama University. This research also investigated the determinants of students’ FYCGPA by the factors to explain variances in FYCGPA. This research used gender, major in high school, national exam score and entrance exam score as independent variables. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was carried out in this study. The result indicated that gender, entrance exam score, and major in high school have significant effect to FYCGPA. The model used in this study showed that 24.6% of the variances in FYCGPA can be explained by gender, entrance exam score, and major in high school. This results show that Widyatama University should consider more factors in selecting potential prospective students and providing services to first year students.

ABSTRACT Background Medical education has evolved considerably over the last few years, especially through adoption of new technologies and active methodologies. These methodologies aim to improve learning and engage students deeply in the process. TBL is a methodology widely used in health schools, including Medical Schools. We can use it to work with large groups, divided into small teams. The students first work individually, then within teams, and finally the groups cooperate to solve applied problems. Objectives To describe students’ perceptions and satisfaction about a Medical Genetics course organized into blocks of subject in which we used TBL sessions with first-year medical students. Methods A Medical Genetics course were organized into subject blocks in which a TBL session was conducted in each of these blocks to improve the learning process. At the end of the course, the students answered a questionnaire on satisfaction and perceptions. Results By the first time we described a Medical Genetics course organized into 5 blocks of subject matter on a total of 25 genetic diseases in which a TBL session was conducted in each of these blocks. We enrolled a total of 290 participants and 96% of the students were satisfied with TBL. Furthermore, 97% of students believe that TBL helped them to learn, and 87% approved of use of TBL in the future at other stages of their medical course. Conclusion Application of the TBL method during a medical genetics course was well-received by students and proved an important tool in the structures of curricula for medical education at this university.

Therefore, all students need to develop their competencies to attain the goal of passing examinations and also to developing their wisdom related to scientific knowledge they gathered through their academic life. Life in universities is a critical period for individuals as it is a foot step to acquiring the emotional and social qualities in their social life. There are many adolescents who have been affected by traumatic events during their life span but have not been identified or treated. More specifically, there are numerous burning issues within first year university students, namely, ragging done by seniors to juniors, bullying, invalidation and issues related to attitudes changes and orientation. Those factors can be traumatic for both their academic and day to day life style. Identifying the students who are with emotional damages and their resiliency afterwards the traumas and effective rehabilitation from the traumatic events is immensely needed in order to facilitate university students for their academic achievements and social life within the University education. This study tries to figure out the role of Emotional Intelligence for developing coping strategies among adolescents who face traumatic events.

A learning community was developed for first-year students majoring in horticulture at Iowa State Univ. in 1998. Learning communities are a curriculum design that schedules courses for both students and faculty to encourage community and connections among students, between students and faculty, and among faculty. Learning communities can offer students more opportunities for interactions among each other, academic assistance through supplemental instruction and/or group study sessions, and planned horticulture-related activities, all of which are important for success and retention of first-year students. First-year students in the horticulture learning community enrolled in the same courses and sections of five courses. The first-year English composition course was linked to the second-year principles of horticulture course that requires writing-across-the-curriculum activities. Faculty mentoring was provided through local field trips to horticultural sites of keen interest to the students. Academic environment survey results showed students rated their expectations highly for developing a network of other students as a resource group and for learning cooperatively in groups. Iowa State Univ. supports learning communities by providing faculty development and facilitating course registration, peer mentoring, supplemental instruction for challenging core courses, and academic and student services, to strengthen undergraduate teaching programs within and outside of the classroom.

Resilience is related to students’ well-being and academic success. While challenges associated with students who are from historically underrepresented backgrounds (i.e. ‘non-traditional students’) have been frequently reported, their resilience has received lesser attention. The primary purpose of this study was to compare levels of resilience between ‘traditional’ and ‘non-traditional’ students. First year students participated in an online mental health survey which included a standardised measure of resilience, demographic questions and an item exploring students’ own perception of being ‘non-traditional’. The results showed that students who considered themselves to be ‘non-traditional’ in life aspects, including age, employment and parenting responsibility, had significantly higher resilience compared to self-identified ‘traditional students’. However, resilience levels of students who deemed themselves to be ‘non-traditional’ in other domains (e.g. household income, cultural background) did not differ significantly from ‘traditional’ students. The findings show that life experiences commonly affiliated with being a mature-aged student, including work and being a carer, may contribute to higher resilience. Implications in relation to practice and future research were discussed.
