Implementation of the digital training concept in the basic flight training in the Serbian Military Academy

Introduction/purpose: The paper provides a review of recent research in the field of digital training applied in the Serbian Military Academy flight training. Flight training represents the foundation of successful education of military pilots. Its division is based on the environment and a phase of realization. The main part and the core of successful flight training is basic flight training. This training phase has experienced significant changes with the introduction of the Technically Advanced aircraft (TAA) which is characterized by a high degree of digitalization not only of the cockpit but also of other aircraft systems. Consequently, a different methodological approach to training is needed, including a digital training concept. The paper shows the achievements and certain solutions based on some elements of digital training concepts used in the basic flight training at the Serbian Military Academy. Methods: The scientific approach is used in the evaluation of aircraft cockpit digitalization and in the implementation of a new training concept in the basic flight training in the Serbian Military Academy. Results: Based on the methodological analysis used, the importance and the values of the digital training concept in basic flight training are shown. Conclusion: Although the digital training concept is not mandatory in the existing flight training model in the Serbian Military Academy, it proves to be a valuable asset. Its potential is significant and, to a certain extent, it can change the nature of basic flight training. Due to digital training, cadets can fly more safely and their flying skills are acquired faster. In accordance with new modern aircraft acquisition in the Serbian Air Force, every aspect of the digital training concept has to be carefully considered, especially in the basic flight training phase, including conversion to new aircraft types.

Teaching game for understanding model: increasing motivation and students’ physical fitness

This study aims to describe the effect of Teaching Game for Understanding (TGfU) in increasing the students’ motivation and physical fitness. TGfU is a training concept of sport based on game. It is not only have meaning as strengthening educational praxis in fields of sport-game separately, but rather to develop an educational approach to the problems solving in tactical strategy in a competition of the sport-game, and also about attitude, motivation, responsibility for the task, collaboration, etc. Method of this study uses a qualitative approach with classroom action research. The results of the study reported that method of TGfU can increase students’ motivation and physical fitness especially in the second cycle of teaching and learning in the field. For sport teacher is advised to use this model in order to improve students’ participation, motivation, tactical cognitive and strategy and sport achievement of their physical fitness, especially for the subject matter of sport required the game approach.

OP0075 EVALUATION OF A VIRTUAL REALITY TEACHING CONCEPT FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS DURING THE SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC

Background:The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted face-to-face teaching of medical students and forced efforts in finding alternative approaches. In order to help maintain high-quality education, a new virtual reality (VR)-based concept for training medical students in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) has been developed. This VR training concept is based on the integration of real patient data with two- and three-dimensional visualized pathological joints from X-ray and computed tomography generated images.Objectives:To evaluate the practicability and acceptance of the VR training application in the digital curricular education of medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods:A short refresher lecture on rheumatic diseases (duration 60 minutes) was followed by presenting the VR training concept to the students. The VR training concept included the demonstration of three virtual patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis psoriatic arthritis regarding the symptoms, current medical problems, disease patterns at the imaging (conventional radiographs and high-resolution computed tomography) and therapy options. The practicability and acceptance of the VR was evaluated by medical students using a survey.Results:The study encompassed 237 medical students (163 female, 73 male, one diverse, age range 20 to 40 years). 72 % of the participants rated the virtual teaching as good or very good. 87 % presented an expanded knowledge for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis through the VR. Moreover, 91 % reported that the lecture provided a deeper understanding of RMD. Furthermore, 60 % of the students asked for additional courses by VR.Conclusion:The study highlighted the usefulness of innovative VR tools for teaching medical students digitally about RMD. VR applications can be a complementary educational modality for medical students, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, to provide students with the best possible clinical experience while ensuring that patient, student, and staff safety is not compromised.Figure 1.A Screen view of virtual reality included three virtual patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), RA, and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and B demonstration of structural damage in RA and PsA using hand X-ray and high-resolution quantitative computed tomography images.Disclosure of Interests:Alexander Pfeil Speakers bureau: Lilly Pharma Deutschland GmbH, Franz Marcus: None declared, Tobias Hoffmann: None declared, Philipp Klemm Consultant of: Lilly Pharma Deutschland GmbH, Peter Oelzner: None declared, Ulf Müller-Ladner Consultant of: Lilly Pharma Deutschland GmbH, Axel Hueber Consultant of: Lilly Pharma Deutschland GmbH, Uwe Lange: None declared, Gunter Wolf: None declared, Georg Schett: None declared, David Simon Consultant of: Lilly Pharma Deutschland GmbH, Arnd Kleyer Consultant of: Lilly Pharma Deutschland GmbH

Implementation of new spill response technology through multi-level exercises in the South Baltic Area

INTRODUCTION The use of new methods and gear in oil spill response requires a profound knowledge on the logistics, the handling and the expected results within the response team. This includes responders in the field, on scene commanders and spill response managers likewise. Within the project SBOIL (2016-2019) the airborne application of biodegradable sorbents and subsequent offshore and onshore recovery was introduced in the South Baltic Area. To ensure a successful implementation, a holistic training concept, including three different types of training, was developed and executed.

Forschungsmoral in der qualitativen Sozial- und Gesundheitsforschung

In the research process, researchers are repeatedly confronted with situations in which they have to make a moral decision about how they should deal with their research counterparts, but also with the ethical requirements of science and society. This leads to conflicts. In the analysis of qualitatively oriented empirical studies, central elements for solving these conflict situations are recorded against the background of a heuristic model of research morality. First didactically based considerations for a training concept are presented. In her research, the author herself has dealt with these questions for many years in her studies on people with dementia.

Shifting emphasis in the educational paradigm of engineers training

The article deals with the issues of efficient shift of cultural accents in the engineers’ training concept in the context of educational environment internalization and expansion of cross-cultural professional contacts. The improvement of professional skills is considered through framing and formation of students’ basic skills of multicultural communication. It is to be regarded as a main factor of the training of the new generation engineers. The authors stress on the idea that the success of academic mobility and business communication in professional community is determined by the level of future specialists’ readiness to professional multicultural cooperation.

Simulation Training to Improve Informed Consent and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Sampling in Pediatric Trials

Background: Pediatric trials to add missing data for evidence-based pharmacotherapy are still scarce. A tailored training concept appears to be a promising tool to cope with critical and complex situations before enrolling the very first patient and subsequently to ensure high-quality study conduct. The aim was to facilitate study success by optimizing the preparedness of the study staff shift.Method: An interdisciplinary faculty developed a simulation training focusing on the communication within the informed consent procedure and the conduct of the complex pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) sampling within a simulation facility. Scenarios were video-debriefed by an audio-video system and manikins with artificial blood simulating patients were used. The training was evaluated by participants' self-assessment before and during trial recruitment.Results: The simulation training identified different optimization potentials for improved informed consent process and study conduct. It facilitated the reduction of avoidable errors, especially in the early phase of a clinical study. The knowledge gained through the intervention was used to train the study teams, improve the team composition and optimize the on-ward setting for the FP-7 funded “LENA” project (grant agreement no. 602295). Self-perceived ability to communicate core elements of the trial as well as its correct performance of sample preparation increased significantly (mean, 95% CI, p ≤ 0.0001) from 3 (2.5–3.5) to four points (4.0–4.5), and from 2 (1.5–2.5) to five points (4.0–5.0).Conclusion: An innovative training concept to optimize the informed consent process and study conduct was successfully developed and enabled high-quality conduct of the pediatric trials as of the very first patient visit.
