The physiology course in our department consists of lectures, laboratory sessions, and tutorials, all of which are teacher centered, as well as student-led seminars. The overall aim of this project was to investigate student perceptions of the value of varying academic activities on their learning of physiology. A faculty-based descriptive study was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of Alneelain University (Khartoum, Sudan). Questionnaires (150 total) were distributed to students from the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Physiotherapy; 127 questionnaires were completed and returned. The results showed that 108 students (85%) believed that their absence from different academic activities could affect their performance. Students perceived lectures as the most valuable academic activity (90.7%), whereas seminars presented by students were perceived as the least important activity (18.5%). There was a significant correlation between lectures attendance and their performance in examinations ( P = 0.008). Ninety percent of the students thought that teacher involvement in tutorials was essential and that lectures were useful to understand certain topics. These results showed that in our course, students perceived teacher involvement as a key component of the educational process.

As part of the Professional Experience Programme in the School of Health Information Management (HIM), at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, students undertake a block of professional experience in the intersemester recess. Students were invited to provide feedback to the School on their experience via a post-placement tutorial discussion with the Professional Experience Coordinator. In addition, written feedback was obtained from HIM II and HIM III students via a questionnaire. The aim of the questionnaire was to obtain student perceptions of the value of the placements as a learning experience, the role of the supervisor, the best aspects of the placement, and ways in which the placement could have been better. The results indicate that over 78% of respondents felt that the placement was an excellent or useful learning experience. No student felt the experience to be fair or poor. Student feedback provides the School with valuable information which can be used for planning and organising future placements. By aiming to continually improve the quality of professional experience we aim to improve the quality of our graduates as beginning practitioners.

  ABSTRACT Background: Clinical phase in  medical education  is education that carried out through the teaching and learning process in the form of clinical and community learning that employs various forms and levels of  health services. At  clinical phase learning , students are given the opportunity to be involved in health services with the guidance and supervision of clinical supervisors. Clinical supervision has a positive impact on patient health and the knowledge development of medical students. Research Objective: This study aims to determine the clinical supervision overview in the major stage at Teaching Hospital of Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Jambi University based on student perceptions. Method: This research is a combination of quantitative research and qualitative research. Quantitative research conducted was a cross sectional study using the Clinical Teaching Effectiveness Instrument (CTEI) questionnaire. The usage of the CTEI questionnaire in this study was to find out the clinical supervision overview in the major stage at Teaching Hospital based on student perceptions. Furthermore, qualitative research was conducted with focus group discussions (FGD) to confirm and explore the perceptions of the students based on the results of questionnaire analysis. Results: Overall, for every 15 items of clinical supervision in each major stage had a mean CTEI score > 3 with a score range of 3.6- 4.1. Range of scores on the Internal Medicine Department  3.2 - 4.7; Pediatric  Department 3.4 - 3.8; Surgery Department 3.6 - 4 and Obgyn Department 3.7- 4. Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that the clinical supervision of the major stages at  Teaching Hospital of Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Jambi University has been run well.

What behaviors do students consider as representative of exemplary teaching? Do those representations vary by context? This study evaluates 176 student nominations for a teaching award that asked nominators to articulate specific acts by individual instructors that exemplify “great teaching.” Through an iterative process, our content analysis identified 10 themes, which generally represent socioemotional connection, behaviors relevant to student learning, and instructor characteristics. We also identified two themes—the instructor as a model and as someone whose efforts exceed expectations—that do not appear frequently in existing literature. The quantitative analysis revealed that frequency of themes differed for instructors from traditional liberal arts and sciences disciplines and those from professional programs in the health sciences.

Abstract This qualitative study examined student perceptions regarding a hybrid classroom format in which part of their learning took place in a traditional classroom and part of their learning occurred in an online platform. Pre-course and post-course anonymous essays suggest that students may be open to learning in this context; however, they have specific concerns as well. Students raised issues regarding faculty communication patterns, learning styles, and the value of clear connections between online and traditional learning experiences. Student concerns and feedback need to be addressed through the course design and by the instructor in order for them to have a positive learning experience in a hybrid format course.

Clinical supervision is recognized as a distinctive area of practice and expertise, yet professional preparation in this area remains inadequate. This paper presents functional information describing the development and implementation of an experimental course on administration, supervision, and private practice, based on graduate student perceptions and preferences for course content and types of learning activities. Current pedagogical trends for universal design in learning and fostering student engagement were emphasized, including problem-based and collaborative learning. Results suggest that students were highly pleased with course content, interactive and group activities, as well as with assessment procedures used.
