This IPMA was used as the primary survey (Kim, 2019), and each evaluation factor, the average value of the latent variable, and the estimated path coefficient were used Methods: SmartPLS 3.0 was used for the numerical calculations and SPSS 19.0 was used to create the graph. Analysis occurs prior to student participation in the class to form a consensus among students at the beginning of the semester. Results: Attempts are made to derive the analysis results and apply them to actual problem-based learning classes to improve class evaluation through feedback. The results show that prioritizing the evaluation factors such as learning outcomes and self-directed learning is meaningful in terms of lecture efficiency. Conclusion: This approach is particularly meaningful, as it attempts an integrated model (im-portance-performance matrix-analytical hierarchy process) and is a continuation of a previous study (Kim, 2019)","PeriodicalId":32777,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ProblemBased Learning","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44102455","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}

Methods: An exploratory descriptive study i) using purposive sampling over a six-month period of the three Japanese newspapers with the widest circulation and ii) document analysis reliant on 37 keywords relating to mental illness iii) selected after consultation with a range of mental health experts across Japan. Results: Nearly a quarter (23.3% n=1827) of the articles related to suicide, self-death, self-kill-ing. ‘Stress’ was by far the most frequently mentioned term (n=740) an average of 4.1 times a day. Others included suicide/suicidal/self-killing (442), mental disorder (80), mental illness (69), depression (93), psychotic/psychosis (42). Conclusion: Overall the tone and content of the articles relating to mental health did not contain a great deal of stigmatizing content. The keyword “stress” might have appeared more than would normally be the case as the sampling period coincided with the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic.

This study investigated, from an educational and social perspective, student perceptions on how they learned, compre-hended, communicated, and used ESL. Methods: An exploratory descriptive method used conclusions from the literature followed by interviews with 14 students from different universities examined factors they perceived impact-ed the ability and confidence with the acquisition of basic English language skills. Results: Learning English as a second language (ESL) is influenced by choices in approaches to student learning. Interviewees reflected on their personal experiences and reported on different approaches within programs for learning English as a second language. The emergent categories and themes highlighted challenges at each educational level, as well as the influence of Korean cultural factors and social issues on learning outcomes. The latter are confined to meet-ing examination requirements rather than listening skills and comprehension that would achieve fluency in ESL. Conclusion: Given the importance that listening comprehension plays in Korean students’ achievement of fluency in the English language, it is suggested ESL teachers could integrate more active learning approaches and methodologies into their teaching/learning approaches to assist competence and confidence with English conversation would overcome problems arising from the difference between Korea’s first and second languages.","PeriodicalId":32777,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ProblemBased Learning","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46420143","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}

This study aims to clar-ify how nurses are portrayed visually on the Internet in Japan and what these images suggest about the role, value, and professional status of nurses in Japan. Methods: A descriptive mixed methods study: Forty photographs of nurses and 40 illustrations of nurses were analysed to make judgments about consistency with a contemporary profile that informs guidelines for professional education and practice. Results: Over three quarters (77.5%) of the images showed only female nurses and 55% were depicted smiling politely. None of the images depicted nurses engaged in high level care consistent with that of a professional dealing with typical contemporary client/patient needs. Conclusion: Our study suggests that in common with overseas research, nurses were predominantly being portrayed as feminine and caring but not as professionals capable of independent practice. Although representations were usually positive, the depictions were not entirely accurate, and this was more evident in the illustrations. Imagery can have a profound effect on ideas, attitudes and behavior; it is imperative that nurses are depicted as appropriately educat-ed professionals and that stereotypes such as nurses being young, subservient, and female should be challenged.","PeriodicalId":32777,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ProblemBased Learning","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48541362","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}

Suggestions for radical change in educational practices has meant a need to revisit curricula to question the extent to which graduate outcomes are consistent with contemporary population and workplace needs. Discussion has centred on more process-oriented educational design that aims for learning outcomes especially those acknowledging a need for critical thinking and metacognition as a graduate outcome for professionals. A contextual appraisal of contemporary workplaces i) reveals a need for changes in systems and processes and ii) suggests a need for change in professional practices that in turn impact on educational preparation for practice eg i) movement towards student-centered educational design and ii) encouraging values consistent with ongoing learning in dynamic workplaces. It is the authors’ opinion that educators are at risk of minimising learning processes that lead to critical thinking and metacognition. We suggest that where processes are introduced in learning events, assessment/evaluation tasks have not provided evidence of outcomes consistent with curriculum aims. In the future, curriculum renewal should include interrogation of appropriate assessment tasks that provide evidence of outcomes that reflect ability to think critically and reflect on processes in a manner consistent with metacognition. Research that focusses on the nature and extent of those outcomes is also warranted.","PeriodicalId":32777,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ProblemBased Learning","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42482073","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}

Based on the CIPP evaluation model, 16 items were selected from the analysis of learning evaluations of 1,000 students at the end of the second semester of 2021 at the researcher’s workplace. Results: First, following confirmatory exploratory factor analysis (CFA), 16 learning evaluation items were converted into a single factor related to learning and teaching. Second, as a result of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) by the academic field, 16 learning evaluation items were converted into a single factor. Third, 16 learning evaluation items were found to have a significant positive effect on the learning evaluation score.
