Fostering students' motivation towards learning research skills: the role of autonomy, competence and relatedness support.

In order to design learning environments that foster students' research skills, one can draw on instructional design models for complex learning, such as the 4C/ID model (in: van Merriënboer and Kirschner, Ten steps to complex learning, Routledge, London, 2018). However, few attempts have been undertaken to foster students' towards learning complex skills in environments based on the 4C/ID model. This study explores the effects of providing autonomy, competence and relatedness support (in Deci and Ryan, Psychol Inquiry 11(4): 227-268, https://doi.

The Charm or Chasm of Digital Personalized Learning in Education: Teachers' Reported Use, Perceptions and Expectations.

Although digital personalized learning (DPL) is assumed to be beneficial for the student as well as the teacher, the implementation process of DPL tools can be challenging. Therefore, the aim of our study is to scrutinize teachers' perceptions towards the implementation of DPL in the classroom. A total of 370 teachers from primary and secondary education (students aged 6-18 years old) were questioned through an online survey.

Timing and Identification of the Cause and Treatment of a Cardiac Arrest: A Potential Survival Benefit.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate how mobile medical teams (MMTs) search for the etiology of a cardiac arrest (CA) and to investigate the association between the discovery of etiology and patient outcome.

Subjects And Methods: Resuscitations of all adult patients who experienced an in- or out-of-hospital CA between 2016 and 2018 were video recorded. All video recordings were reviewed.

Determinants of instructors' educational ICT use in Ethiopian higher education.

ICT can address concerns about access and quality of higher education in developing countries like Ethiopia. The crucial role of ICT in education has become more evident than ever during the COVID 19 crisis. Despite its role in addressing educational quality and access issues, evidence about the educational use of ICT in developing countries is scarce.

Task complexity, student perceptions of vocabulary learning in EFL, and task performance.

Background: The study deepened our understanding of how students' self-efficacy beliefs contribute to the context of teaching English as a foreign language in the framework of cognitive mediational paradigm at a fine-tuned task-specific level.

Aim: The aim was to examine the relationship among task complexity, self-efficacy beliefs, domain-related prior knowledge, learning strategy use, and task performance as they were applied to English vocabulary learning from reading tasks.

Sample: Participants were 120 second-year university students (mean age 21) from a Chinese university.

Effects of a school reform on longitudinal stability of students' preferences with regard to education.

Background: Students' perspective on education is of crucial importance for its effectivity, but students' opinions are seldom acknowledged by teachers and designers. Student participation in the educational design process could be a suitable tool to better take students' preferences into account. However, for effective participatory design, it is necessary to know whether students have stable preferences for the design of their education.

Effect of multimedia information sequencing on educational outcome in orthodontic training.

The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of hierarchical sequencing (HS) versus elaboration sequencing (ES) models in improving educational outcome of clinical knowledge when using instructional multimedia programs in postgraduate orthodontic training. Twenty-four postgraduate and 24 undergraduate dental students participated in this study. The postgraduates were following an orthodontic speciality training programme.

Peer evaluation in reciprocal learning with task cards for acquiring Basic Life Support (BLS).

Background: Research emphasises the need for instructional methods and tools which can improve Basic Life Support (BLS) performance or reduce instructional time.

Aim: To investigate the effect of peer evaluation to improve reciprocal learning with task cards as instructional tools for acquiring BLS.

Methods: A total of 78 kinesiology students from a Belgian university were paired and randomised across two groups to learn BLS in 20min with task cards.

Rating of statements in an internal course evaluation: comparison between different groups of assessors.

The increased concern for accountability and quality improvement is inducing universities throughout Europe to evaluate and control performance. The establishment of criteria for educational quality, a requirement for a successful evaluation, was studied as part of an evaluation of the dental education programme at the Catholic University of Leuven. Criteria suggested by different groups (members of the internal evaluation commission including graduate and postgraduate students; members of the academic staff of the School of Dentistry, Oral Pathology and Maxillo-facial Surgery, and other members of the academic staff, not directly belonging to the school), were analysed by means of ANOVA with Scheffé posthoc tests to identify intergroup differences.
