The Impact

Technology and adult education are often discussed as two separate subjects yet just as it is impossible to live one day without the impact of technology, it is impossible to discuss adult education without considering technology. In the decades since the emergence of adult education as its own field of study and research, these two subjects have experienced substantial growth. However, in recent months, societal issues have forced the pace of this growth into unprecedented and sometimes uncomfortable expansion. The theorists and practitioners who have always been instrumental in moving the fields along were challenged to develop an entirely new paradigm. The issues and reactions will be considered in this article as the foundation for a paradigm shift in adult education. Since effective adult education involves not only information dissemination but communication and collaboration among its participants, online learning activities and entire online courses influence how we view the field itself.

Information And Knowledge Management

Information Technology (IT), and the subsequent broad acceptance of Information and Knowledge Management (IM/KM) methods revolutionized the way business is thought of and practiced. With e-business facilitating the ability to do more, more, faster, at a wider range, and to influence ever larger and more diverse consumer groups, the impact of technology on commerce, finance, and global economy has been frequently compared to the “paradigm shift” that Kuhn (1970) proposed as the essence of scientific revolution. Yet, despite the transformational influence of modernity on the ancient art, the fundamental principles of business have not changed: overreliance on the facilitation of business operations as the substitution for the adherence to the soundness of their conduct fuelled rampant growth of corporate laisse faire, and already twice brought the world to the brink of economic disaster (Stiglitz, 2003; Steingart, 2008).

The Impact

The interplay between the immune and nervous systems has been acknowledged in the past, but only more recent studies have started to unravel the cellular and molecular players of such interactions. Mounting evidence indicates that environmental signals are sensed by discrete neuro–immune cell units (NICUs), which represent defined anatomical locations in which immune and neuronal cells colocalize and functionally interact to steer tissue physiology and protection. These units have now been described in multiple tissues throughout the body, including lymphoid organs, adipose tissue, and mucosal barriers. As such, NICUs are emerging as important orchestrators of multiple physiological processes, including hematopoiesis, organogenesis, inflammation, tissue repair, and thermogenesis. In this review we focus on the impact of NICUs in tissue physiology and how this fast-evolving field is driving a paradigm shift in our understanding of immunoregulation and organismal physiology.

The Impact

Informatics, particularly as applied to K12 settings, has received little systematic attention worldwide, although the field itself is growing due to the impact of technology and information advances. Too often, informatics has been approached as a tool-based skill rather than an academic domain with theoretical underpinnings. Content knowledge, technological knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge are required for success. School librarians can serve as expert partners in these endeavors. They have more knowledge and experience with informatics than anyone else in the setting, they can select and incorporate informational and technological resources and learning activities that are developmentally appropriate and relevant for students, they know how to manage knowledge effectively, and they know how to collaborate effectively with the rest of the school community in order to optimize curriculum development, instructional design, and delivery.

This research focuses on the implementation of contextual Islamic Education learning at SMP Al-Rahmat Bojonegoro. The results of this study indicate: 1) The paradigm shift of Islamic Education teachers from the conventional paradigm (students as objects), to the new paradigm of students as learning subjects. Teachers have an understanding that learners' knowledge always develops according to experience; 2) Contextual learning activities are carried out in a conducive learning atmosphere, the assessment is carried out as a whole; cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. 3) Students have a good response to this contextual learning. With the perception and understanding of the importance of contextual learning from teachers, plus a positive response from students, the implementation of contextual Islamic Education learning can increase students' motivation to learn and improve learning outcomes and provide students with social life skillsFokus Penelitian ini adalah pelaksanaan pembelajaran PAI kontekstual di SMP Al-Rahmat Bojonegoro. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan: 1) Perubahan paradigma Guru PAI dari paradigma konvensional (peserta didik sebagai objek), kepada paradigma baru peserta didik sebagai subyek belajar. Guru memiliki pemahaman bahwa pengetahuan peserta didik selalu berkembang sesuai dengan pengalaman; 2) Kegiatan pembelajaran kontekstual dilaksanakan dengan suasana pembelajaran yang kondusif, penilaian dilakukan secara menyeluruh; kognitif, afektif dan psikomotor. 3) Peserta didik memiliki respon yang baik terhadap pembelajaran kontekstual ini. Dengan adanya persepsi dan pemahaman pentingnya pembelajaran kontekstual dari para guru, ditambah respon positif dari peserta didik, implementasi pembelajaran PAI kontekstual dapat meningkatkan motivasi belajar peserta didik dan meningkatkan hasil akhir belajar serta memberi bekal peserta didik dengan sosial life skill.

Abstract Objective Since COVID-19 emerged, it has significantly affected medical education. Surgical training has been blocked and the learning curve flattened. However, COVID-19 led to the outbreak of multitudinous online courses. Master series: microsurgery for residents (MSMR) has been the most extensive and accessible online nonfee course transmitted so far regarding reconstructive microsurgery. The primary aim of this study was to assess the impact of the MSMR in the surgical community as an international educational tool during pandemic confinement. Patients and Methods A retrospective, observational, analytic, and transversal study was designed. An 11-item survey was sent to all the 1,513 attendees who completed at least 60% of course attendance during 2 days. Descriptive and analytic statistics were performed. The impact was measured by considering answers to questions 6 to 9 and 11 (course usefulness, microsurgery interest increase, desire to pursue a microsurgical career, attendance to in-person conferences, and overall score, respectively). Results A total of 1,111 (73.4%) of eligible subjects were included. In total, 55.8% were plastic surgery residents. After the course, 98.9% would pursue a career in reconstructive microsurgery, and 45% would stop attending in-person conferences. The overall score of the event was 9.06 ± 0.9 (from 0 to 10) regardless of the current training status. Conclusion The MSMR was a high impact course and has established a paradigm shift that will lead to an evolution in plastic surgery learning.
