Occupational therapy education in a technological world.

As occupational therapy curricula prepare students to meet the needs of clients living in a technological world, at SHU we have chosen to emphasize professional survival and practice in a technology learning context. The curriculum is guided throughout by the pedagogy of learning through doing (Dewey, 1916), using technology-based learning that increases in complexity and application as the program advances. This education results in the professional preparation of therapists who are equipped to apply their skills in the treatment of clients living in a modern world. Aspects of this approach, which ties technology to occupation, might be considered by other training programs in different settings.

Physical activity in physical education: teacher or technology effects.

This study assessed if wearing a heart rate monitor influenced student activity levels in elementary physical education. Data were analyzed for 4 students using an alternating treatment design to assess differential effects between accelerometer activity counts obtained from students when wearing the heart rate monitor and when they were not wearing the monitor. Results show that (a) there was no difference in activity counts between the 2 conditions, (b) boys had higher means than girls, and (c) the variance between more and less active boys was greater than the variance among the girls.

Accessibility of electronically mediated education: policy issues.

Electronic technology has transformed education systems over the past 30 years. Generally speaking, technology has been an incredible benefit for individuals with disabilities. However, the use of technology, particularly in education, has been sometimes discriminatory toward those who are unable to interact with it in the standard ways anticipated by its inventors. Disability policies have attempted to address issues of equality of opportunity for all citizens, but application of these policies to rapidly evolving technology has been difficult. In this article we provide a brief review of disability policy as it pertains to education. We also review several current policy initiatives related to higher education information technology--all of which pertain to public kindergarten through 12th-grade education. We raise questions that arise when careful thought is given to ways in which disability, education, and technology policies overlap. We anticipate that these next few pages will generate dialogue among researchers, policy makers, educators, technology engineers, and others interested in how electronically mediated education affects individuals with disabilities and how it can be used to ensure equal access to the educational benefits available in schools protected by U.S. civil rights legislation.

Hospitals and the educational institution: an innovative partnership for nursing specialty education.

Rapid technological and economic change require that educational institutions respond efficiently and effectively to the needs of the health care industry. Nurses demand education that is accessible, affordable, and relevant, and demand recognition for educational achievement in terms of credentials and financial rewards. This article describes a partnership between British Columbia Institute of Technology (which is driven by and responds to industry) and The School of Health Science (which prepares nurses for specialty practice). The partnership permits a proactive relationship that utilizes the best qualities of both the health care and educational institutions. Although this alliance has been used extensively to prepare nurses for specialty areas, this partnership model could be implemented by a variety of institutions to meet educational needs in many health care professions.

Using electronic technology for Taenia solium education: educating the educators.

In Taenia solium endemic areas, intervention programs include a variety of actions aimed to improve sanitary infrastructure and environment, pig husbandry conditions, detection and treatment of tapeworm carries and cysticercosis cases, among others. For a successful long-term effect, these actions must be associated with community participation and health education programs. Prior to designing/conducting health education programs tailored to specific populations, individuals involved in delivering education, as well as other professionals, students, and community leaders, must be well prepared, their knowledge increased, updated or strengthened. Educators must first be well educated to convey clear and accurate messages. Current electronic technology provides invaluable resources for teaching and learning. Learners using electronic materials benefit from a dynamic, non-linear and flexible interaction that can render long lasting effects compared to traditional passive methods. Electronic resources also provide the capability of producing one standardized template, versatile enough to be adapted, translated, modified, and updated. In this presentation, we introduce our preliminary work on the first interactive media presentation on T. solium which will hopefully, soon, become an interactive tutorial that could be utilized in health education in both developing and developed countries.

[Unique system for education of medical technology and cytotechnology students at Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts].

For students orienting medical technologist (MT) and cytotechnologist (CT), a peculiar system of education is operated in Department of Life Science, Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts. Forty candidates for MT are selected from 90 students at end of the university first year. They study from lectures and practices specialized in medicine and face another selection at end of the third year. Selected candidates (ten and some in number) will challenge examination for CT license as well as that for MT license in the forth year in "double-license course". Prior to these selections, education for CT is started at the first year in order to clarify suitability of each student as a CT from earlier stage. In parallel, education for basic medical research is opened to all students at the first year for developing another suitability in them. Topics in cytopathology, neuroscience, cellular culture and regenerative medicine are presented to stimulate their interest in graduate school. Kake Educational Institution Cytopathological Center is located in the university campus and provides excellent facility for basic medical research. The university develops talent of students both for MT and CT through license acquisition and basic researcher for modern medicine in collaboration with this research center. The premier group of students under application of this system is active at the third year at present. They understand their own suitability and spend their time in the best manner toward their goal. We are confident that this system activates talent of students without overload.

Perceived skill and utilisation of information technology in medical education among final year medical students, Universiti Putra Malaysia.

The objective of this survey was to obtain a self-reported assessment of the use of information technology (IT) by final year medical students. Two hundred and sixty five students responded to a questionnaire survey. 81.5% of students considered their computer skills adequate, while 87.9% had access to computers outside the campus. Most students reported adequate skills at word processing, e-mailing and surfing the Internet. Fifty three percent of students spent three hours or more each week on the computer. While students indicated a general willingness to access Internet-based materials, further steps need to be taken to increase the use of this method of instruction.

The Internet: an underutilized tool in patient education.

Internet technology is helping to reshape patient education. An illustration of this is provided by data from a two-stage pilot study involving 100 senior citizens who received instruction on how to conduct health information searches on the Internet. The goals were to enable the seniors to assume an active role in their health care and to share their information with family and friends. In a Train-the-Trainer approach, 20 trainers received instruction on searching for health information on the Internet, and subsequently trained 100 senior citizen trainees. The study was conducted from October 1997 to June 1998. The average age of the senior trainees was 69. Most had a college education. The study results reveal a positive impact of the training on senior trainee confidence in using the computer and the Internet, conducting health information searches online, and sharing health care information with their physicians, families, and friends. Some gender and educational differences were noted. In a 90-day posttraining follow-up, 66% of the trainees continued to use the Internet, with 47% of them using it to search for health information. Two thirds of those who searched for health information on the Internet talked about it with their physicians, with more than half reporting they were more satisfied with their treatment as a result of their searches and subsequent discussion with their physicians. These findings are relevant to patient education in the nursing curricula of nursing students and nurse practitioners. Some suggestions are given to improve the effectiveness of the training program.

Utilization of information technology in medical education: a questionnaire survey of students in a Malaysian institution.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this survey was to obtain a self-reported assessment of the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by medical students at the International Medical University, Malaysia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Students' perceived skills and extent of usage of ICT were evaluated using a questionnaire. Chi-square analysis were performed to ascertain the association between variables. Further statistical testing using Chi-square test for trend was done when one of the variables was ordered, and Spearman rank correlation when both variables were ordered. RESULTS: Overall, (98%) of students responded to the questionnaire. Twenty seven students (5.7%) did not use a computer either in the university or at home. Most students surveyed reported adequate skills at word processing (55%), e-mailing (78%) and surfing the internet (67%). CONCLUSION: The results suggests that in order to increase the level of computer literacy among medical students, positive steps would need to be taken, for example the formal inclusion of ICT instruction in the teaching of undergraduate medicine. This will enhance medical students' ability to acquire, appraise, and use information in order to solve clinical and other problems quickly and efficiently in the course of their studies, and more importantly when they graduate.
