Book excerpt: Claremont Graduate University and San Diego State University: 2018 Nurses serve a valuable role in the healthcare industry. Nurses are trained to have knowledge and skills for a fast-paced, evolving environment. In order to meet the needs of complex and diverse patients, nurses must be able to assess patients and prioritize care to produce safe and quality outcomes. This quantitative study framed in Benner’s Novice to Expert Theory and the National League for Nursing Jeffries Simulation Theory involved undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students from a California State University. The study examined differences in teaching methodologies regarding a low-frequency, high risk patient scenario. Survey responses from 161 participants provided opportunities to identify relationships between various teaching methodologies and nursing student knowledge and skill after a virtual standardized patient (VSP) anaphylaxis simulation. Participating students represented three levels of undergraduate nursing classes. Level one nursing students (Nursing Fundamentals) were familiar with reading case studies but had no formal clinical experience (n = 65). Level two nursing students (Medical-Surgical I) consisted of students with basic clinical experience (n = 60). Level three nursing students (Medical-Surgical II) consisted of students with extensive clinical experience (n = 36). Each willing participant was randomly assigned to a VSP anaphylaxis simulation research group that was delivered by three different teaching methods. Research group one consisted of a video simulation via traditional two-dimensional video plus a written case study (n= 54). Research group two consisted of a three-dimensional, mixed reality VSP simulation via the Microsoft HoloLens® (n = 53). Research group three consisted of a written case study (n =54). Participating students from within the three levels of nursing courses were stratified and randomly assigned to a research group. All students participating in the study received written instructions and an unfolding case study regarding the life threatening disorder of anaphylaxis. Following three observation periods, students were asked a series of knowledge and skill measures. The study participants were largely 19 to 20 years of age, had no previous clinical experience (67.1%), no combined previous immersive simulation experience (60.9%), and varying hours of nursing simulation experience. Correlational statistics showed evidence of a relationship between student knowledge and differences in teaching modalities. A one-way Analysis of Covariance revealed that video instruction provided the most knowledge gained (M= .96) compared to written case study (M = .95), and Microsoft HoloLensÒ. Correlational statistics showed evidence of a relationship between student skill and differences in teaching modalities. A one-way Analysis of Covariance revealed that video instruction provided the most skill (M = .78) compared to the Microsoft HoloLensÒ (M = .69), and written case study (M = .61). Regarding the Microsoft HoloLensÒ group, when looking at overall knowledge, Level 2 (Medical-Surgical I) is the only variable that entered the Stepwise regression model. Regarding the Microsoft HoloLensÒ group, when looking at overall skill, Level 1 (Nursing Fundamentals) is the only variable that entered the Stepwise regression model. The study’s findings showcase the importance of considering which type of teaching modality will provide students an opportunity to gain knowledge and skill when presented with a life-threatening patient scenario. This study suggested video instruction plus a written case study was the teaching modality that provided the most knowledge and skill gained among undergraduate nursing students. These results have significant research, practice, and policy implications for nursing school faculty and administration. In addition, the findings have heuristic value for other healthcare profession educators wishing to use emerging technologies for low-frequency, high-risk scenarios through the use of a virtual standardized patient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We humans are tribal, grouping ourselves by a multitude of criteria: physical, intellectual, political, emotional, etc. The Internet and its auxiliary technologies have enabled a novel dimension in tribal behavior during our recent past. This growing connectivity begs the question: will individuals and their communities come together to solve some very urgent global problems? At MMVR, we explore ways to harness information technology to solve healthcare problems - and in the industrialized nations we are making progress. In the developing world however, things are more challenging. Massive urban poverty fuels violence and misery. Will global networking bring a convergence of individual and tribal problem-solving? Recently, a barrel-shaped water carrier that rolls along the ground was presented, improving daily life for many people. Also the One Laptop per Child project is a good example of how the industrialized nations can help the developing countries. They produce durable and simple laptops which are inexpensive to produce. At MMVR, we focus on cutting-edge medical technology, which is generally pretty expensive. While the benefits of innovation trickle downward, from the privileged few to the broader masses, we should expand this trickle into a flood. Can breakthrough applications in stimulation, visualization, robotics, and informatics engender tools as ingeniously as the water carrier or laptop? With some extra creativity, we can design better healthcare for the developing world too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building Intelligent Interactive Tutors discusses educational systems that assess a student's knowledge and are adaptive to a student's learning needs. The impact of computers has not been generally felt in education due to lack of hardware, teacher training, and sophisticated software. and because current instructional software is neither truly responsive to student needs nor flexible enough to emulate teaching. Dr. Woolf taps into 20 years of research on intelligent tutors to bring designers and developers a broad range of issues and methods that produce the best intelligent learning environments possible, whether for classroom or life-long learning. The book describes multidisciplinary approaches to using computers for teaching, reports on research, development, and real-world experiences, and discusses intelligent tutors, web-based learning systems, adaptive learning systems, intelligent agents and intelligent multimedia. It is recommended for professionals, graduate students, and others in computer science and educational technology who are developing online tutoring systems to support e-learning, and who want to build intelligence into the system. Combines both theory and practice to offer most in-depth and up-to-date treatment of intelligent tutoring systems available Presents powerful drivers of virtual teaching systems, including cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and the Internet Features algorithmic material that enables programmers and researchers to design building components and intelligent systems

Download or read book Developing and Validating Test Items written by Thomas M. Haladyna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since test items are the building blocks of any test, learning how to develop and validate test items has always been critical to the teaching-learning process. As they grow in importance and use, testing programs increasingly supplement the use of selected-response (multiple-choice) items with constructed-response formats. This trend is expected to continue. As a result, a new item writing book is needed, one that provides comprehensive coverage of both types of items and of the validity theory underlying them. This book is an outgrowth of the author’s previous book, Developing and Validating Multiple-Choice Test Items, 3e (Haladyna, 2004). That book achieved distinction as the leading source of guidance on creating and validating selected-response test items. Like its predecessor, the content of this new book is based on both an extensive review of the literature and on its author’s long experience in the testing field. It is very timely in this era of burgeoning testing programs, especially when these items are delivered in a computer-based environment. Key features include ... Comprehensive and Flexible – No other book so thoroughly covers the field of test item development and its various applications. Focus on Validity – Validity, the most important consideration in testing, is stressed throughout and is based on the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, currently under revision by AERA, APA, and NCME Illustrative Examples – The book presents various selected and constructed response formats and uses many examples to illustrate correct and incorrect ways of writing items. Strategies for training item writers and developing large numbers of items using algorithms and other item-generating methods are also presented. Based on Theory and Research – A comprehensive review and synthesis of existing research runs throughout the book and complements the expertise of its authors.
