Vocational training of students in diet habits and active lifestyle habits has recently become an important issue, given the health problems caused as a result of a poor diet. The objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of different training actions (traditional method and digital resources) carried out in a program of dietary habits and active lifestyle at the vocational training stage. A quasi-experimental design of the pre-post type was developed. A sample of 177 participants was chosen. The instrument to collect the data was the validated ECHAES questionnaire. The results show that all study groups demonstrated similar averages across all dimensions, except in the digital resource post-test design, where the averages were higher than the rest. There was a significant relationship between the traditional teaching method and the post-test digital resources design in all dimensions. There was also a significant relationship between the pre-test and post-test of the traditional teaching method and the digital resource group in the dimensions. It can be concluded that both the traditional and the innovative method lead to learning in the vocational training student, although the values achieved by the group where the innovative method was adopted were much higher than in the traditional group.

51 regularly enrolled law students in 3 matched groups were taught a portion of criminal law after pretesting. The analysis of covariance on the posttests showed that a program designed to teach content and application was superior ( p < .01) to both the traditional teaching method and a program designed to teach content alone. Both programs were superior ( p < .01) to the traditional method in teaching either content or ability to apply content. It was concluded that the acquisition and application of complex abstract material can be taught efficiently with programmed material.

The purpose of this work is to examine the issue of pre-service science teachers’ (PSST) Geogebra applications on misconceptions about projectile motion (PM) and the permanence of learning concepts. In this study, quantitative research method was used as scientific research method, and semi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test control group was used as a pattern. The accessible population of this study is PSST who study in a university located in Kayseri, Turkey in the 2019-2020 academic year. Sample of the study included 36 freshman PSST, studying at the university level in Kayseri. 18 of the participants are experimental-group (EG) and 18 of them are control-group (CG). Both groups learned the subject of projectile motion (PM) together in the classroom. In addition to the traditional teaching method, the EG participated eight-week in the Geogebra course based on the conceptual change model and prepared physics simulations with Geogebra. “Conceptual Questions on Projectile Motion” was used as a data collection tool and the data were analyzed by means of statistics (t-test) based on the difference between averages. The results revealed that both the post-test’s and permanence test’s mean scores of the EG PSST were significantly higher than the mean score of the CG PSST (post-test: t=2.525; p< .05) (permanence test: t=5.466; p< .05). Furthermore, in this study, many misconceptions about the PM were identified.

Background: During undergraduate medical course surgical pathology is taught on formalin preserved specimens (FPS), a traditional teaching method. These specimens are morphologically altered in color and size due to chemical effect of formalin. Author believe that surgical pathology and disease process can be better understood by digital pictures and videos of surgical procedures. Hence, author did this intervention study to compare the teaching of surgical pathology by traditional method (i.e. Formalin preserved specimen) with digital method.Methods: This prospective study was conducted at Department of Surgery, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Swami Rama Himalayan University. Final year MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery). Students (Four Batches, 20-25 students, n=91) were taught surgical pathology by digital method (per operative and resected specimen pictures/videos) and traditional method (Formalin preserved specimen). Four specimens were taught with cross over i.e. two specimens with help of digital method and two by traditional method. Before start of teaching pretest (Multiple choice Questions, MCQ) was taken and it was followed by post-test (MCQ) for each topic. All teaching was done by single associate professor of surgery. Response of students was assessed by Likert’s scale. Evaluation of the results was done by paired t-test.Results: 94.3% students liked new method of teaching and 90.8% believed that new method leads to better understanding of the subject. In two specimens (Appendix and Gall Bladder) taught by digital method there was statistically significant increase in post test score as compared to FPS method. In specimens (carcinoma colon and breast carcinoma) there was also increase in the post test score though not statistically significant.Conclusions: Digital method was found to be better method for understanding surgical pathology and clinical correlation and should be used to complement traditional method.

Enhancing EFL learners’ communicative competence is a time-taking process to reach certain levels of interacting with different communication participants. However, in the tertiary education in Vietnam, traditional teaching approach with the task-based learning does not thoroughly focus on the language use but on the strategies to perform the tasks. Hence, the functional approach has been applied to boost learners’ awareness of their language delivery thanks to communicative functions and notions. The new mode of teaching concentrates on what communication participants desire to convey and why they make use of those speech acts. This paper aimed to explore the impact of the integration of task-based learning and the functional approach, and learners’ perspective towards the implementation of such approach combination. With the application of the mixed method of qualitative and quantitative approaches, the data were collected via a pre-test and a post-test, survey, and 32 interviews with the participation of 100 students whose major is Business Administration at a university. The findings reveal that adding the functional approach to the existing teaching method could enhance students’ overall speaking competence, especially their fluency and discourse management. Additionally, the application of the functional approach received positive feedback from the learners.

Background Persuasion Wars are exercises for teaching social influence that have not been directly assessed with the use of students’ knowledge gain as an indicator. Objective This study aimed to establish the extent to which these exercises led to students’ knowledge increase in comparison to traditional teaching method. Method In a between subject design, 142 undergraduate students participated in two exercises: Persuasion Wars or Article Analysis. Pre-test and post-test measurements of students’ knowledge were collected to compute knowledge gain scores. At the end of the study, an exercise evaluation survey was distributed among students. Results Both teaching methods increased students’ knowledge about social influence. Regardless of the topic, students from Persuasion War group gained more knowledge when compared to students from Article Analysis group. Students assessed both teaching methods to a similar extent. Conclusion Persuasion Wars may serve as a useful teaching method in familiarizing students with the basic concepts of social influence despite being rated similarly to a more traditional activity. Teaching implications To improve the teaching outcomes of classes concerning basic topics of social influence, teachers should consider the use of Persuasion Wars exercises as well as should incorporate the use of a direct assessment of pedagogical effectiveness to avoid misleading predictions.
