A primary responsibility for nurse educators is to provide students with theoretical knowledge and clinical skills for professional nursing. In this study, laboratory faculty developed a creative pedagogical strategy to reduce nursing student stress during assessment of skill performance. Mock competencies were structured so that students participated in peer-to-peer evaluations in simulated competency assessments. The purpose of this study was to determine whether this pedagogical strategy had an impact on first-round pass rates for skills competency assessments.

Background/objectives: Clinical simulation is a pivotal educational strategy in nursing, facilitating the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical skills in a safe environment. While the benefits of simulation in enhancing technical and non-technical competencies are well-documented, the transition of nursing students to the role of instructors within these simulations remains underexplored, particularly in the Spanish context. This study aims to investigate how assuming the instructor role in clinical simulations impacts the professional development of fourth-year nursing students.

Landraces are a critical genetic resource for resilience breeding, offering solutions to prepare agriculture for the challenges posed by climate change. Their efficient utilisation depends on understanding their history and genetic relationships. The current study investigates the phylogenetic relationships of barley landraces from Algeria, varieties from the Near and Middle East, traditional landraces, and modern cultivars from Europe.

The rapid advancements in biomedical sciences, including genomics, microbiome research, and bioinformatics, underscore the need for dental education to evolve to meet future challenges in public oral health and healthcare delivery. The integration of basic sciences into dental curricula is crucial to ensure that dental professionals are thoroughly prepared in these fundamental areas. Despite the widespread agreement on the necessity of including basic medical sciences in dental education, challenges such as curricular congestion, faculty economics, and infrastructural limits persist, complicating the integration of new scientific knowledge.

Self-study is essential for student learning, and active learning methods aim to facilitate constructive self-study time usage. How active learning strategies actually affect student self-study in medical education, however, remains partly unknown. The aim of this study was to examine medical students' use of self-study time in a longitudinal integrated clerkship employing active learning strategies.

This study investigates the factors influencing high school girls' decisions to choose science subjects in Cameroon, focusing on the underrepresentation of girls in these fields. Using a qualitative interview method with 42 participants-including students, teachers, and parents-the findings reveal that interest in science, future career motivations, and relationships with parents and teachers are critical determinants in girls' decision-making. It highlights the necessity for supportive environments and role models that underscore the impact of pedagogical quality, resource availability, societal norms, and prejudices on girls' confidence and engagement in science, providing insights into the new complexities for understanding the underrepresentation of girls in science fields in Cameroon.
