Continuing Education Unit: a new dimension in continuing education.

The rapid expansion of continuing education within the professions has evolved with little continuity and structure, a fact which impedes the professional's ability to develop a long-range plan of continued professional development. A major weakness stems from society's lack of uniform standards to measure and certify continuing education. A new unit of measure, the continuing education unit (CEU), has been developed as a voluntary national effort for a uniform unit of measure for noncredit continuing education, which will both quantify programs and ensure a reasonable degree of program quality. Effective implementation and use of the CEU requires consumers of continuing education to assume a greater role in program planning and development in conjunction with program producers. The CEU provides a valuable tool for the professions to effectively use continuing education; however, improved competency requires more than the mere accumulation of CEU.

Computer-assisted instruction in curricula of physical therapist assistants.

This article compares the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) with written, programmed instruction between two groups of physical therapist assistant students. No significant difference in the amount of material learned or retained after completion of testing using either CAI or a written, programmed text was found in this group of 16 subjects. Learning style or attitude about computers did not correlate strongly with performance after the CAI. Findings suggest that more research is needed to support decisions related to fiscal allotments for computer use in college curricula.

Introduction to critical review of roentgenograms.

Review of available roentgenograms, or x-ray films, by the attending physical therapist may be helpful in precise evaluation of patient status or progress or for educational purposes. This article presents background information on radiology and a simple mnemonic device for use in critically viewing roentgenograms. Eight case studies are presented in a programmed-learning format. Physical therapists are encouraged to adapt the following information to their specific setting and to produce a teaching package suitable for students and new staff members.

Butoctamide hydrogen succinate and intensive learning sessions: effects on night sleep of Down's syndrome patients.

Mentally retarded children present a reduction in percentage of REM sleep and of oculomotor frequencies. These sleep patterns are probably relevant for their cognitive activities. The effects of butoctamide hydrogen succinate and intensive learning sessions on the night sleep of five Down's syndrome patients was studied by the authors. They found an increase in percentage of REM sleep after pharmacological treatment and an increase in oculomotor frequencies after learning sessions. The authors' hypotheses of REM sleep as a neurophysiological indicator of cerebral "plasticity" and of oculomotor frequencies as an indicator of "organization" abilities are discussed in this article. Pedagogical implications and therapeutical perspectives are also outlined.
