Active Listening as A Basic Skill of Efficient Communication Between Teachers and Parents: An Empirical Study

This study deals with active listening as a basic skill of efficient communication used by teachers in their communication with their students’ parents. Two hundred and twenty-two teachers and thirty-three principals of primary education school units participated in this empirical study. Teachers mention that they use active listening in their communication with parents with attention and observation, they accept parents’ words, they maintain a neutral position and they show empathy to share their reflections and feelings. Moreover, during the use of active listening as an active skill of efficient communication between teachers and parents, teachers mention the contribution of their verbal intervention. In this way they ask open-ended and closed-ended questions for clarifications, and they repeat the parent’s main views without expressing their personal opinion. During their verbal positioning, teachers first mention to parents the good characteristics of their children, then they focus on their learning weaknesses.

Developing Basic Movement Skills in Primary School Students: Planned Games and Movement Education Applications

Aim: The aim of this study is to develop the movement skills of primary school students (1st and 2nd grades) in Erzurum city center with planned games and movement education applications. Method: 38 students (24 males + 14 females) living in the central campus of Erzurum province and selected according to the convenience sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods, participated in the research. Students participated in specially prepared game and movement training programs between 60-90 minutes 3 days a week during the summer period. In the first stage of the study, basic skills were determined by applying basic skill tests which is flamingo balance, catching the thrown ball, standing long jump, throwing a tennis ball, running 20 meters straight, hitting the ball with the foot, vertical jumping and galloping as a pre-test. At the end of the 2-month (8 weeks) period, basic skill tests were applied as a post-test and their status was compared. Findings: According to the results of the research, a positive (p<0.05) improvement was observed in the initial basic skill tests which applied flamingo balance, catching the thrown ball, standing long jump, throwing a tennis ball, running 20 metetraight, hitting the ball with the foot, vertical jump and gallop. Result: As a result, it was concluded that the game and special movement training program, which is made regularly for primary school 1st and 2nd grade students, contributes positively to their basic motor skills. Key Words: Primary school, games, movement training, skill development.

Can deep convolutional neural networks support relational reasoning in the same-different task?

Same-different visual reasoning is a basic skill central to abstract combinatorial thought. This fact has lead neural networks researchers to test same-different classification on deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), which has resulted in a controversy regarding whether this skill is within the capacity of these models. However, most tests of same-different classification rely on testing on images that come from the same pixel-level distribution as the testing images, yielding the results inconclusive. In this study we tested relational same-different reasoning DCNNs. In a series of simulations we show that models based on the ResNet-50 architecture are capable of visual same-different classification, but only when the test images are similar to the training images at the pixel-level. In contrast, even when there are only subtle differences between the testing and training images, the performance of DCNNs drops substantially. This is true even when DCNNs' training regime is augmented with images from new versions of the same-different task or through multi-task learning on the test images. Furthermore, we show that the Relation Network, a deep learning architecture specifically designed to tackle visual relational reasoning problems, suffers the same kind of limitations than ResNet-50 classifiers.

Urethral catheterization: do nurses have adequate exposure?

Background: Urethral catheterization is a vital basic skill which not learnt properly will lead to numerous complications. The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge and practice of urethral catheterization procedure among the nursing students. Methods: This study was conducted by a questionnaire to all the nurses in our hospital. It includes precautionary methods, knowledge of urethral catheterization procedure and the necessity for the demonstration of the procedure to the nurses.Results: A total of 120 nurses were included in the study. During training program, all were able to define and observed urethral catheterization. Overall, 19% did not perform the procedure as undergraduates and only14% passed >10 urethral catheterization. On assessing the steps, 61% described the steps involved in catheterization and 87% listed the possible complications of catheterization. Meanwhile, 93% revealed the need for practical demonstration of procedure during their training phase. Conclusions: With regards to urethral catheterization, poor practical experience was observed in nurses. An attempt should be formulated to enhance the supervised urethral catherization training programme conducted for nurses, in order to deliver preventable complications.
