First year students take time to adjust to college life. A number of priorities are considered in order to survive in the tertiary level. One of which is complying with the academic requirements. The study described the study skills of the first year students in the College of Education, La Salle University, Ozamiz City, Philippines. The framework used in identifying the study skills of the first year students was adopted from Lucas and Corpuz (2007:4).These study skills were correlated to the students’ academic performance using Kendall’s Tau B, Chi-square, and Multiple Regression tests. There were 128 first year students who were taken as respondents of the study. The study reveals that the first year students have the skills in organizing and planning their work, preparing assignments or projects, and note-taking and reading. The students’ skills in organizing and planning one’s work; working with others and utilizing resources and feedback; note-taking and reading; and preparing an assignment/project correlate with their grades. The best predictor of students’ academic performance is note-taking and reading. First year college students need to develop the habit of studying their lessons, reading, and taking down notes to improve their academic performance.Keywords: Education, study skills, academic performance, descriptive design, Philippines

Abstract Introduction The Physician Associate course has been running in the North West since 2016. As such, the format and layout of clinical placements for its students are still in their relative infancy. First year students, similar to third year medical students, begin clinical placement after an intensive lecture series at the University. Placements at Wythenshawe hospital typically involved an initial and closing meeting with their supervisor with little teaching activity organised specifically for them. We therefore set out to devise a formal teaching programme within their elderly care attachment to better address their learning needs. Methods We devised a programme for the placement involving a formal induction, orientation and then rotation through different elements of the elderly medicine faculty. The students spent 4 weeks in total in 3 different clinical areas to obtain different experiences. Formal teaching was arranged once per week with a clinician to cover topics relevant to geriatrics and general medicine. Feedback forms were used to assess the students’ views on the quality of the induction and teaching. A pre-placement questionnaire was used at the start to assess understanding of frailty and confidence with assessing falls. This was then repeated at the end of the placement to evaluate progression. Results From the initial pilot involving 3 cohorts (10 students total), 90% of the students rated the placement positively as a learning opportunity with 100% commending the organisation and structure of the programme. 100% of students rated the content and delivery as good for the organised teaching sessions. Understanding of frailty and confidence in assessing falls also saw marked improvements over the course of the placement. Conclusion We have demonstrated how a better structured teaching programme is valued by the physician associate students and will now proceed to develop and expand this model in elderly medicine and beyond.

How can information literacy (IL) courses be organized into the curriculum in the best possible way for first-year students at Finnish universities? This question has been discussed time and time again. At Åbo Akademi University we have, since fall 2015, developed a course in Academic study skills where IL is included in the course. This means that IL is now for the first time included in all study programmes at the university. The IL module is, however, implemented in different ways in different faculties. In this article, we will focus on the method of embedded learning of IL in the study programme of Chemical Engineering, as it was implemented during the fall semester 2015 for all freshmen. For the first time the library was involved in a “hands-on” project with practical tasks at the Faculty of Science and Engineering. The students were motivated to learn how to search for information and how to improve their skills in reference management, and they passed the course.

To Assess the knowledge on ‘‘non pharmacological” pain management during First stage of labour among nursing students in the terms of pre-test. Evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on pain management during First stage of labour by comparing pre-test score on post-test knowledge score. Find out the association between knowledge scores among nursing students and selected demographic variables. The research approach selected was quantitative in nature and research design was pre experimental with one group pre-test post-test design. Sampling was done using convenient sampling using 60 student Nurses. The study was conducted in St Joseph College of nursing, Hoshangabad. The tools used for generating necessary data were structured knowledge questionnaire on non-pharmacological management of pain. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Majority of nursing students i.e. 36 (60%) have inadequate knowledge score, 24 (40%) had moderate knowledge score and none of them were having adequate knowledge. This study found that majority of nursing studentsi.e. 33 (55%) have gained adequate knowledge whereas 26 (43.3%) have gained moderate knowledge and 1 (1.6%) with inadequate knowledge after administration of structured teaching programme on nonpharmacological methods on reduction of labour pain. The findings of the present study shows that the mean post-test knowledge score (20.6) was apparently higher than the mean pre-test score (11.08). The difference between pre-interventional and post-interventional knowledge was 8.8. The statistical significance between pre and post-test knowledge is evident by‘t’ value of 14.02 at 0.05 level of significance. Hence, there is significant increase in the knowledge level of nursing studentsafter structured teaching programme. The structured teaching program was effective in enhancing the knowledge of the student nurses on non-pharmacological management of pain during first stage of labour.
