Students’ Perception of Cognitive Load in an Accelerated DPT Program with a Blended Curriculum

Administrators and educators in higher education are interested in how academic tutoring services and gender impact perceptions of cognitive load and, therefore, students’ academic success. However, a lack of evidence existed in the literature regarding physical therapy students’ perception of cognitive load in an accelerated Doctor of Physical Therapy program with blended learning. Participants in this quantitative, non-experimental study completed the adapted Cognitive Load Scale to indicate their perception of cognitive load, participation in academic tutoring services, gender, and age. The DPT students perceived high cognitive overload, but a t value of 0.37 and a p value of 0.71 indicated that their perception was not significantly related to gender. Further, a t value of -3.09 and a p value of 0.005 indicated that academic tutoring services played a vital role in minimizing the perception of cognitive overload. However, the p value of 0.11 of the parametric multiple linear regression analysis and the p value of 0.59 of the interaction term indicated no moderating relationship between academic tutoring services and gender. This evidence may assist physical therapy administrators and educators of DPT students in re-structuring blended learning programs and accelerated curricula to reduce student perceptions of cognitive overload.

Abstract Background-- Our previous studies have identified that both gender and genotype of MTHFR C677T were independent variables for plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels. Based on these results, we want to further explore their systemic information, in order to find specific risk factors for each genetic group, which might be used as predictors or targeting markers for lowering Hcy levels. Patients and Methods--This cross section study was performed through November 2017 to July 2019. A total of 4534 adults aged 20-75y were selected for this study, and all of them underwent a physical examinations and MTHFR C677T genotyping. Results--The average of Hcy level was higher in TT genotype than CC and CT genotypes (P=0.000). Multiple linear regression analysis found that except the common protective factors (folate and Vit B12) and risk factor (Cr), each group has it specific risk factors for HHcy---female-CT (age, SBP and Hb), female-TT (SBP and AST); male-CC (age, AST and Hb), male-CT (age and AST) and male-TT (SBP, AST and Hb).Conclusion--The plasma Hcy level was influenced by different risk factors for specific gender and genotype. These risk factors might be useful for prediction or prevention of HHcy in the future.

Preptin is a peptide synthesized and secreted accompanied with insulin from pancreatic β cells. Here, we tested the hypothesis that serum preptin concentrations are correlated with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Our study was performed in a population of 234 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 78 healthy subjects. Patients with T2DM were divided into three groups: normoalbuminuria group (DN0, n=106), microalbuminuria group (DN1, n=90), and macroalbuminuria group (DN2, n=38) according to urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR). Serum preptin concentrations were significantly increased in the three T2DM subgroups than those in the controls. DN2 group showed significantly higher serum preptin concentrations compared with DN0 and DN1 groups. Moreover, DN1 group had higher serum preptin concentrations than DN0 group. Serum preptin was correlated with a higher risk of T2DM and DN after logistic regression analysis. Simply linear regression analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between serum preptin and gender, body mass index (BMI), blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, ACR, and a negative correlation between serum preptin and glomerular filtration rate, metformin, acarbose treatment. Gender, BMI, and ACR were still positively correlated with serum preptin after multiple linear regression analysis. Our findings indicate that serum preptin concentrations are associated with renal function and DN.

The Relationship

Purpose. Damage to corneal nerve fibers has been demonstrated in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that further progresses with increasing severity of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. However, the role of C-peptide in corneal nerve damage has not been reported in T2DM. The present study investigated the relationship of fasting C-peptide levels with corneal neuropathy evaluated by corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) in patients with T2DM. Methods. 160 T2DM patients (72 females) aged 34-78 with duration ranging from 0 to 40 years underwent CCM to measure corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL), corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD), and corneal nerve branch density (CNBD). Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to explore the association of fasting C-peptide levels with corneal nerve parameters. Partial correlation analysis (adjusted for age and gender) was also conducted to analyze the correlation of metabolic indexes with these three corneal nerve parameters. The relationship between fasting C-peptide levels and duration of diabetes was also explored by Pearson correlation analysis. Results. With an increase in fasting C-peptide levels, the values of CNFL, CNFD, and CNBD also showed a corresponding trend for an increase. Partial correlation analysis revealed that fasting C-peptide levels were positively associated with CNFL ( r = 0.245 , P = 0.002 ), CNFD ( r = 0.180 , P = 0.024 ), and CNBD ( r = 0.214 , P = 0.008 ) after adjusting for age and gender. Using multiple linear regression analysis, fasting C-peptide levels were also closely associated with CNFL ( P = 0.047 ) and CNBD ( P = 0.038 ) after multiple adjustments. However, this association disappeared after further adjusting for duration of diabetes. Further analysis indicated that fasting C-peptide levels declined with duration of diabetes ( r = − 0.267 , P = 0.001 ). Conclusions. C-peptide was closely associated with corneal neuropathy and disease duration in T2DM. C-peptide levels might be both an indicator of beta-cell function and a marker of disease severity (such as diabetic corneal neuropathy) and duration.

The research objective was to determine the effect of knowledge of ethics, idealism, relativism and gender on accounting students 'ethical perceptions of accountants' unethical behavior. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University. The number of samples used amounted to 94 accounting students with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. Based on the results of the study it was found that knowledge of ethics and idealism negatively affected accounting students' ethical perceptions of accountant's unethical behavior. This shows that the higher the knowledge of ethics and idealism that students have, the more they disagree with the ethical behavior of accountants. Relativism has a positive effect on accounting students 'ethical perceptions of accountants' unethical behavior. This shows that the higher the relativism that students have, the more they agree with the ethical behavior of accountants. Gender has a negative but not significant effect on accounting students 'ethical perceptions of accountants' unethical behavior. This shows that men and women give an attitude of disagreement with accountants' unethical behavior.

Lemahnya pemahaman mahasiswa terhadap substansi perkuliahan mengharuskan tenaga pengajar untuk mengulangi pengajaran terkait materi yang belum dipahami tersebut. Hal ini telah mengakibatkan tidak tercapainya capaian pembelajaran yang telah disusun. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur dampak penggunaan sistem manajemen pembelajaran berbasis Moodle dan model pembelajaran kolaboratif pada blended learning (b-learning) classroom terhadap peningkatan pemahaman mahasiswa. Metode riset yang diaplikasikan yaitu perancangan pra-eksperimental dengan model single group before-and-after design yang melibatkan 104 responden dari mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Teknologi Informasi, Fakultas Tarbiyah dan Keguruan, Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry yang sedang mengikuti mata kuliah Pengantar E-learning. Adapun instrumen penelitian berupa angket yang disebarkan pada fase sebelum dan sesudah penerapan Moodle dan pembelajaran kolaboratif dilaksanakan. Berdasarkan teknik analisis regresi linier berganda menggunakan piranti lunak SPSS ditemukan bahwa estimasi pengaruh kedua variabel independen sebesar 81,6% pada tahapan pretest, namun prediksi tersebut bertentangan dengan temuan yang didapat pada fase posttest yang mengindikasikan bahwa persentase implementasi Moodle dan model kolaboratif terhadap pemahaman mahasiswa hanya berpengaruh sebesar 49,9%. Dengan demikian disimpulkan bahwa hipotesis yang diajukan ditolak dikarenakan tidak terjadi peningkatan pemahaman mahasiswa. Hal ini diperoleh berdasarkan output Model Summaryb dimana nilai kedua koefisien R Square dan Adjusted R Square pada angket posttest lebih kecil nilainya dibandingkan dengan angket pretest. AbstractStudents’ lack of understanding toward lecture materials requires extra time in teaching. This has resulted in unfulfilling the designed learning outcomes. This work aims to measure the impact of using the Moodle learning management system (LMS) and collaborative learning model on improving student understanding in blended learning (b-learning) classrooms. The research method used was a pre-experimental design with a single group before-and-after design model involving 104 respondents from the Information Technology Education Study Program at the Ar-Raniry State Islamic University who were attending the E-learning Introductory course. The use of a questionnaire as the research’s instrument was distributed in the ‘before’ and ‘after’ phases of Moodle implementation and collaborative learning were carried out. According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS software, it was found that the influence of the estimated value of the two independent variables was 81.6% at the pretest stage, but these predictions contradicted the findings obtained at the posttest phase which indicated that the percentage of Moodle implementation and collaborative models was only effect of 49.9% on students’ understanding. In conclusion, thus, the proposed hypothesis was rejected because there was no increment in students’ understanding. This was based on the Summaryb Model output where the values of both R Square and Adjusted R Square coefficients on the posttest questionnaire were smaller than the pretest questionnaire.
