The occurrence of landslides can have a huge impact on both life and the environment. Based on data from the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, there were 918 landslide-prone locations spread across various regions in Indonesia. Bali Province is one of the areas prone to landslides. Increasing preparedness against landslides can reduce the impact of the disaster. This study was aimed to determine the effect of using comic’s media on student preparedness in dealing with landslides. This type of research was a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest design using a total sampling technique with a total sample of 57 people. Data was collected using a landslide disaster preparedness questionnaire, and it was tested by using a paired t-test.

Learning theories are logically related statements designed to explain what should or could be aspired to in establishing ideal learning conditions. Multiple theories can inform our understanding of a single concept, in this case: veterinary workplace clinical training (WCT), which occurs just prior to students’ graduation as competent veterinary surgeons. The competency movement has strongly influenced reforms in veterinary education and is considered important. In reflection of this, the term “preparedness” is operationalised here as a measure of the likelihood that the veterinary student is going to be a competent learner and participant during WCT. Preparedness itself is therefore important because it directly impacts performance. Workplace clinical training is explored through the lenses of cognitivist, social constructivist and socio-culturalist learning theories and used to inform student preparedness characteristics in terms of their behaviours, personal attributes, knowledge and skills, and awarenesses to optimise learning and participation.

Introduction: Working with multiple mentors is a critical way for students to expand their network, gain opportunities, and better prepare for future scholastic or professional ventures. However, students from underrepresented groups (UR) are less likely to be mentored or have access to mentors, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. We developed and implemented a workshop, to provide the necessary foundation for students to be better prepared for establishing future mentorships throughout graduate and professional school. Methods: Faculty well-versed in the area of effective mentorship from multiple universities developed and delivered a 1.5-hour workshop to address the roles of a mentor, especially when it comes to UR students, and how students may effectively work with multiple mentors. This workshop was delivered to a group of students from the HBCU Winston Salem State University, and a pre/post- Likert scale-based survey was administered. Results: We analyzed the raw data with nonparametric tests for comparison within paired samples. Wilcoxon matched-pairs and signed-rank tests showed statistically significant growth in student self-ratings related to the workshop learning objectives. Conclusions: The How to Handle More than One Mentor to Achieve Excellence workshop was well received as a component of pre-graduate and pre-professional training. Incorporating workshops like this may increase student preparedness around developing and cultivating healthy mentorship relationships throughout STEM training.

Abstract Objectives: To assess the medical students' satisfaction and knowledge attainment through distant learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This is a cross-sectional, self-reported, questionnaire-based study that was conducted at the School of Medicine at the University of Jordan in April 2020. The targeted population was the students at the school of medicine. An online questionnaire was created using Google Forms. Satisfaction and knowledge attainment among students were assessed using independent-samples t-test.Results: A total of 1000 medical students completed the survey, 506 (50.6%) basic science students and 494 (49.4%) were clinical science students. 655 (65.5%) of all students were either satisfied, or neutral with e-learning and 63.6% of basic science students and 59.5% of clinical students stated that they gained and understood knowledge the same or better than they did before initiation of exclusive e-learning. Satisfaction and knowledge gain were significantly affected by student preparedness (p<0.000), teacher performance (p<0.000), and website accessibility (p<0.000).Conclusion: Transition from traditional in-class teaching to distant learning, whether full or blended, is an inevitable step., In our sample, students were generally satisfied with e-learning and the knowledge attained using it. There was a significant relation between satisfaction and attainment and preparedness of students, teachers, and the medical school.

The recent worldwide pandemic, COVID-19, pushed students of all ages to remote learning in a matter of days. This abrupt change in the mode of delivery of instruction affected students differently. The researchers share findings of a study conducted among university preservice education students from Texas and Ohio concerning students' preparedness for this drastic change. The study sought to identify and document recurring themes about the students' experiences of remote learning and to determine how significantly socioeconomic status (SES), sociocultural values (SCV), and socioemotional learning (SEL) aspects impacted students’ transition to remote learning at these universities. Implications for university instructors and ways to improve educational experiences during such unprecedented times are discussed.

Clinical placements and supervision is an integral part of nursing education internationally. There are significant differences between students’ expectations of clinical learning and their fulfillment. Few studies have focused on supervisors’ perspectives on clinical placements. The objective of this study was to explore nursing supervisors’ perspectives on students’ preparedness for clinical placements. Methods The study was conducted in a county in Southeastern-Norway, with 317.000 inhabitants, and within one hospital and one university college catchment area. Focus group interviews were conducted in the periode August to December 2018. Data were analyzed using Hsieh and Shannon’s conventional content analysis. Results 34 nursing supervisors participated, three intellectual disability nurses and 31 registered nurses, working in four different primary healthcare wards and four different hospital wards. Participants’ age ranged from 23 to 58 years, one male only. Through the analysis we derived the category ‘Shared responsibility for preparation’ with subcategories a) Individual initiative, and b) University college facilitation. Conclusions Findings indicate that there is a gap between nursing supervisors’ expectations and reality regarding students’ preparedness for clinical placements. Moreover, nursing supervisors did not seem to focus on their own role in student preparedness.

Background: Indonesia is an archipelago and it is located between the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. Geographically, it is located in a series of tectonic plates of Australia, the Eurasian Pacific and the Philippines, which makes Indonesia vulnerable to geographical changes. Due to those reasons, Indonesia becomes one of the countries that has areas prone to disasters including earthquakes and tsunamis.Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitude variables, emergency response plans, early warning systems, and mobility of resources on student preparedness in implementing disaster risk reduction through formal education at SMA Negeri Unggul Sigli, Pidie Regency in 2020. Method: This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were 140 of students at SMA Negeri Unggul Sigli by using Stratified Random Sampling, 104 of students consisting of 50 boys and 90 girls. This research was conducted from Oktober - December 2020. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate data analysis with Chi-square test and Logistic Regression test were used in this study. Results: Based on the results of the bivariate analysis with the Chi-square statistical test, there was a significant relationship between With variables; Knowledge and attitude with a p value of 0.022; Emergency response plan with p value of 0.002; Early warning system with p. value: in the amount of 0.000; and Resource mobility with p. value of 0.006. on student preparedness in implementing disaster risk reduction (p≤.0, 05). The results of multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regression tests obtained variables that had a significant effect on student preparedness in implementing disaster risk reduction (PRB), namely: the Resource mobility variable with a coefficient of B. 0,512 and Exp (B) of 5,99. This means that students who get an the resource mobility well have a greater chance of being ready to implement disaster risk reduction 5,99 than students who do not get an the Resource mobility properly. Conclusion: obtained variables that had a significant effect on student preparedness in implementing disaster risk reduction (PRB), namely: the Resource mobility variable.

The 2018 M7.1 Anchorage earthquake damaged over 120 schools in the Anchorage and Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) School Districts. Many remained closed for a week or more for cleanup and repairs, primarily due to nonstructural damage. Major structural damage occurred in three of 132 school buildings across both districts, and a number of additional schools had minor to moderate damage. Most observed damage was to nonstructural components, including suspended ceilings, lighting, architectural finishes, building utility systems, and equipment. Middle and high schools were in session at the time of the earthquake. Despite ceiling damage and fallen ceiling tiles, books, and supplies (heavy furniture was anchored) and objects swinging from the ceiling, both districts reported very few injuries. Statements by the school districts and administrators, media reports, and available video indicate that most students dropped, covered, and held on as practiced in regular drills. The combination of life-safety structural performance (with a few exceptions) due in part to moderate shaking, as well as anchoring of heavy furnishings, and student preparedness and drills to practice protective action, appears to have protected students. Both districts’ experiences provide evidence that school seismic safety programs are valuable, even if efforts to mitigate risks from older, vulnerable schools are in process and more work remains.
