Perceptions Of Students

The focus in this contribution is the challenge to develop an efficient and effective learning environment for student teachers, especially with respect to the remote organization of assessment and the remote support of internship for students who follow a distance education program. For both aspects it is examined whether the used methodologies/approaches are in line with the perceptions of different stakeholders (students/lecturers/supervisors). The results reveal that 1) the methodology/approach used to take an exam remotely is in line with perceptions of students, but 2) not all lecturers seem to be convinced about the necessity to give students in distance education control on time, pace and place to take their exams; and they have worries about the workload. Further, the participants perceive a highly led anticipatory reflection assignment as a good instrument to support internship remotely and it seems to be an efficient instrument to support remotely an internship of student teachers. Recommendations are restricted to some suggestions for further research on both aspects.

Education Process

This study aims to reveal the mental images of seventh-grade students regarding the concept of distance education through metaphors. The study group of the research; consists of a total of 46 seventh grade students, 25 girls and 21 boys, who study at a private school in the center of Kayseri, determined by appropriate sampling. These students receive distance education as synchronous and asynchronously on different platforms within the scope of social distance measures taken in the COVID-19 (coronavirus) virus epidemic. The study was designed with a phenomenology pattern, which is one of the qualitative research method designs. In order to collect the data, they were asked to complete the sentence "Distance education is like… because…" by accessing the phone applications. The collected data were analyzed by content analysis, which is one of the qualitative research method analysis types. In this study, 46 metaphors were obtained and these metaphors were grouped under 12 categories. While students thought not only distance education was the most necessary, they also described it as optional, inefficient, uncertain, and useful.

Preliminary Research

The present study constitutes a preliminary research on the attitudes and perceptions of students in Greece concerning cheating in exams and plagiarism in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey conducted among 578 students shows a sharp increase in the employment of underhanded means by students towards attaining better grades in the exams. These findings need to be evaluated by the academic community to put a check on the rising number of instances of academic fraud.

Abstract Background The problems for training in interprofessional education (IPE) of health professionals for this new century are systemic: limitation in competencies for teamwork, persistent stratification of gender relations in the status of health workers, a focused emphasis on technical skills, difficulty in analysis and understanding of broader problematic issues of the context, sporadic instead of continuous care, quantitative and qualitative imbalances in the professional labor market, and fragility in leadership skills to improve the performance of the health system. This study evaluated the perception of students and teachers of health area courses at a private university in São Paulo regarding interprofessional education. Methods A sociodemographic questionnaire to delineate the participants’ profile and the RIPLS questionnaire that assesses the attitudes and perceptions of students and professionals to determine their readiness for interprofessional learning were applied. RIPLS is proposed to measure the change in attitudes, the effects of different interventions, and the effectiveness of interventions in changing attitudes and perceptions. Results The main results were that training in Medicine and Nursing is easier for interprofessional education than that in Physiotherapy. By comparing the perception of the academic community regarding gender, we find that participating women are more available for teamwork and collaborative practices. Conclusion To improve the perception of students and teachers in collaborative practice, the need for a teacher training program on IPE principles and an early and more frequent insertion of IPE practices in the curricula of courses is evident.

Level Of Knowledge

The purpose of this study was to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of students and science teachers towards bio-energy resources (BER) and other renewable energy sources (RES) in two randomly selected government secondary schools (Harar and Abadir Secondary Schools) in the Harari regions. The sample consisted of randomly selected grade ten students (N=302), science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) teachers (N=35) and school leaders (principals and unit leaders) (N=8). The analysis of the data revealed that teachers were found to have a low level of knowledge about BER and geothermal energy, while students have low-level of knowledge about BER and other RES. It was also found out that both students and teachers didn't have clear perception and attitude towards BER and RES. Document analysis revealed that issues related to BER and other RES were not integrated into the curricula of the schools. No school co-curricular activities were observed for issues related to BER and RES. This may be because of the resource limitations; low level of knowledge, attitudes and perceptions held by school community towards BER and RES, schools didn't play their roles disseminating and implementing concepts of BER and RES. Although the issue of BER and other RES is critical nowadays, the study revealed that due attention wasn't given to this issue in schools.
