A total of 108 MCs in radiology were analysed on interaction among students, radiologists and clinicians by non-participatory observation in 2019. Data were documented with a standardised observation sheet on criteria of teaching and learning interaction, then categorised and coded. The qualitative analysis was outlined based on two modified pedagogical principles of proactive learning, and teaching and learning processes. Results show that medical students join MCs on their own initiative. However, participation is passive. Interaction with radiologists and clinicians is limited. Although radiologists encourage students to join clinical discussions, to ask questions, and to assist in preparation of case demonstrations, students rarely seize the opportunity. The paper concludes that student interaction with radiologists and clinicians is limited regarding radiology and other medical disciplines. Students should be engaged in clinical discussions; be integrated in assisting radiologists in preparation and follow-up of case demonstrations to learn about imaging; be guided in case demonstrations to understand that clinical decisions depend on information in imaging. MCs can be exploited for teaching and proactive learning by students, radiologists and clinicians.\u0000Keywords: multidisciplinary conferences, teaching opportunities, medical education, academic radiology, student interaction","PeriodicalId":194693,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Teaching and Education","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124110786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an initiative to support Student Success project at Kent University. The project aims to reduce the attainment gap of various cohorts of students and enhance their academic performance. This paper presents the analysis and results obtained by applying the 2-stage examination assessment in a second-year undergraduate computer science module entitled Software Engineering Process. The 2-stage examination used in this study has proven that effective learning can take place when students work collaboratively. The data used for the analysis is students’ overall performance in the module and also the data collected by distributing a questionnaire to students at the end of the academic term in addition to online-survey conducted during the final exam preparation period. Students’ performance of the targeted module has been recorded, analysed and contrasted with the previous year cohort. In addition, students’ feedback related to their learning experience is recorded and anlaysed. As per the students’ performance, questionnaire and survey analysis results, one can consider that the 2-stage examination is a unique assessment, beneficial and very useful for final examination preparation.","PeriodicalId":194693,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Teaching and Education","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124693699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main strategy or tool of critical pedagogy is the culture circle, a dialogical problem-posing method of education. The current qualitative case study examined the use of culture circles in a continuing professional development workshop for Israeli special education teachers. Given the over-representation of culturally and economically oppressed populations in the special education system, it would be appropriate to raise the awareness of the SE teachers of this situation. Findings revealed that while developing culture circles during the workshop, most of the teachers moved from proposing hurried and shallow solutions, to offering carefully thought-out ideas for joint analysis, following an in-depth review and definition of the problem. Despite starting the process with an idealised perception of society and an over-inflated sense of self-efficacy, when group participants completed the workshop, they had acquired the ability to acknowledge and even contend with the unjust conditions and imperfections of the Special Education System. It seems that, participating in culture circles can help teachers to both understand their current realty fully and deeply and to set meaningful goals for the future.","PeriodicalId":194693,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Teaching and Education","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123661085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research data consisted of 239 questions from 20 Summer examinations: 10 National and 10 at a public post-secondary Institution between 2010 and 2019. In this research, a qualitative approach and theory-driven content analysis method using Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy of Cognitive Objectives were employed. The 121 Institution and 118 National examination questions were placed in two categories: higher-order cognitive skills (HOCS) comprising Remembering, Understanding and Applying and lower-order cognitive skills (LOCS) comprising Analysing, Evaluating and Creating on the basis of earlier research. Data was given with tables as percentage. This research was guided by the following two questions: What kinds of cognitive skills and knowledge do Maltese Advanced Biology comprehension examination questions require? What is the proportion of marks being awarded to the different cognitive levels? In the National examination questions were allocated to five of the cognitive categories while less, four, in the Institution. Over a 10-year period, the majority of the questions (91.6% in Institution; 81.6% in National) required LOCS. In both types of examination, the highest percentage of questions were in the Remembering objective (53% in Institution; 48% in National), followed by Understanding (31.84% in Institution; 22% in National) and finally Applying (6% in Institution; 11% in National). The study highlighted that the Analysing objective was absent in every comprehension and the Creating category was represented by a mere1% in the National examination. The investigation was extended to determine the marks allocated to the different cognitive levels. The majority of the marks, (92.0% in Institution; 81.7% in National examinations) belonged to the LOCS, being allocated mostly in the Remembering and Understanding objectives. The research indicates that the examinations were overall, not cognitively demanding, but the National one was more intellectually challenging for a number of reasons, including a larger percentage of questions and marks categorised as HOCS. The Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy of Cognitive Objectives as used in this research gives a useful way for designing or analysing biology summative assessment tools. All three higher-order cognitive skills categories should be more evenly presented in future biology examinations.","PeriodicalId":194693,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Teaching and Education","volume":"72 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132500317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Educational achievements in schools are measured through standard knowledge-based assessments which take place during various stages in a child’s formal education, based on the National Curriculum. However, due to the unique purpose, aims and methods used by Home Educators, current measurements and standards are incompatible with achievements identified by Home Educating families. The established traditional concepts of educational success are the framework of current measurement of educational achievements, which may be contrary to the concepts of families who follow different philosophical understandings of education. The reality of each family having their individual aims and purpose of Home Education has resulted in their achievements to be immeasurable by the traditional standards as used in schools. This paper aims to argue that it is necessary to review current philosophical and theoretical concepts in education, apart from knowledge-based education as set out by the state in the National Curriculum.  This will allow us to develop new common grounds in measurement of educational success inclusive of individual achievements set out by Home Educators.","PeriodicalId":194693,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Teaching and Education","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132725471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current paper shows the results, and perceived benefits of the Fourth Annual Meeting of Innovative Pedagogical Practices, an online space conceived as an institutional strategy to acknowledge and share innovative experiences inside different learning environments, created by our teachers. The meeting took place through UNIMINUTO YouTube Streaming channel, with the primary goal of increasing access and participation of teachers inside the organization. However, the results showed that even people from other educational organizations and cities interacted in the meeting, increasing the visibility of the teachers and their practices, allowing them to receive feedback from different sources and to create new networks. At the same time, teachers perceived this online strategy as a way to make knowledge available to them, more accessible in terms of times and costs because they could access it without investing in any transportation costs. Those results open the path to transforming those classroom experiences into collaborative educational research, adding value to the institutional strategy towards improving learning outcomes by using didactics that help future professionals develop their skills and competences through didactics and innovation.","PeriodicalId":194693,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Teaching and Education","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134482444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These types are the key source of the contribution of the writing process in most of the institutions. They give chance to the students to produce the language they are learning in an effective way. First of all, this study aims to be a guideline to show the requirements expected from the students by using the writing criteria applied at Anadolu University School of Foreign Languages in Eskişehir, Turkey for all levels. In the second place, this study sheds light on the detailed description of the components that are included in the criteria. Lastly, it gives the basic information about the essential tips for learners in order to enhance their writing skills.
