This study aimed to reveal faculty attitudes towards teaching medicine in Arabic at two Saudi universities. It surveyed 128 faculty members and interviewed 26 using questionnaires, surveys, and observations. The study found different cognitive, emotional, and behavioral attitudes towards using Arabic in medical education, though attitudes towards the status of Arabic were generally positive. Pragmatic motives were the main drivers of negative views on using Arabic. The study also showed that socialization and pairing influenced trends, and that using Arabic is indispensable given the linguistic realities of the universities.

This document discusses a study that assessed medical students' perceptions of implementing journal clubs in their undergraduate curriculum. A survey of 161 medical students found that the majority of preclinical students were unaware of journal clubs, but clinical students were more familiar. Students felt journal clubs could help improve their medical knowledge, clinical skills, and knowledge of current literature. The most common reasons students wanted journal clubs were to gain confidence presenting and to learn about current research. However, many felt journal clubs require too much preparation time. The study concludes journal clubs can enhance students' skills as lifelong learners and equip them for better patient care.

Mohammad Allibaih

Objectives: The current study aims at exploring the possi-bility of aligning peer assessment, audiovisuals, and medical case-report extracts (vignettes) in medical terminology teaching. In addition, the study wishes to highlight the effectiveness of audio materials and medical history vi-gnettes in preventing medical students' comprehension, listening, writing, and pronunciation errors. The study also aims at reflecting the medical students' attitudes towards the teaching and learning process. Methods: The study involved 161 medical students who received an intensive medical terminology course through audio and medical history extracts. Peer assessment and formative assessment platforms were applied through fake quizzes in a pre- and post-test manner. An 18-item survey was distributed amongst students to investigate their attitudes and feedback towards the teaching and learning process. Quantitative and qualitative data were analysed using the SPSS software. Results: The students did better in the posttests than on the pretests for both the quizzes of audios and medical vignettes showing a t-test of -12.09 and -13.60 respectively. Moreover, out of the 133 students, 120 students (90.22%) responded to the survey questions. The students gave positive attitudes towards the application of audios and vignettes in the teaching and learning of medical terminology and towards the learning process. Conclusions: The current study revealed that the teaching and learning of medical terminology have more room for the application of advanced technologies, effective assess-ment platforms, and active learning strategies in higher education. It also highlights that students are capable of carrying more responsibilities of assessment, feedback, and e-learning.

Background: Urinary incontinence is a prevalent symptom among women. In a Danish-German study, the barriers experienced by general practitioners regarding communication about urinary incontinence are identified using a newly developed questionnaire. Objectives: Description of the development and validation of a questionnaire for general practitioners on the topic urinary incontinence. Methods: Investigation of literature and instruments and conduction of qualitative interviews. Development of an initial questionnaire in English language, which was then translated into the target languages, Danish and German. The questionnaire was verified in cognitive interviews, revised and tested for its retest-reliability and linguistic validity. Results: The analysis of the qualitative interviews allowed identification of general practitioners’ barriers and insecurities on this topic. Cognitive testing led to a change in 14 questions or answering categories. The evaluation of the retest-reliability showed good or moderate absolute concordance or correlation of 98% of the items. Conclusion: The process of the development of a questionnaire which must suit the different languages and cultural and structural differences of two countries is very complex and time-consuming. Initial results showed a high acceptance of the questionnaire.

QUESTJOURNAL

ABSTRACT: The aim of this research work is to identify the effectiveness of the Arabic language teaching methods in Indonesia(National University of Malang for Sample)in terms of making use of Arabic as a medium of communication among the students in the light of the modern approaches in teaching and learning of Arabic language. This research is methodologically characterized as a descriptive, analytical, evaluative and field research work. In order to arrive at the purpose of this study, a questionnaire has been designed and carried out on a specimen from the teachers of the concerned university. Eventually, the study has arrived into a finding that the method used in the university is the Eclectic Method (i.e. Selective Method), except that translation is utilized extensively with it, and it might influentially cause the depreciation of the communication skill of the students, and the major intermediary language for the Arabic language teaching is the Indonesian language. However, its uncontrolled over-usage in the Arabic language teaching procedure may negatively cause the weakness of the students in the listening and speaking skills, since they could not get enough opportunity to practice them during language learning, in addition to the fact that the teachers might be employed as Arabic language teachers on the basis of their high conversance with the grammatical rules of Arabic language and not on their skills in the Arabic language communication medium.

The Role of the Instruction of Reading Comprehension Strategies in Enhancing ...

AJHSSR Journal

ABSTRACT :Throughout my studies and teaching English in different language centers and higher studies institutions, I have come to conclude that students consider Reading comprehension as a nightmare that frightens them and hinders their language acquisition in the Moroccan EFL Context. This may cause them to develop an internal psychological obstacle that grows as their lack of the necessary instruments or tools to overcome are not equipped with. They become lost and unaware about or unfamiliar with the necessary reading comprehension strategies that could help them to face the problem of misunderstanding or non-understanding of English texts. Respectively, this article which is only one part of my whole study aims at showing the effect of teaching reading strategies in enhancing the S1 students‟ familiarity with reading strategies and raising their frequency use. A sample of 283 University students in EFL context have been chosen randomly and have attended the usual academic reading classes, yet only 76 are subject to this survey. 38 of them constitute the experimental group who have attended the treatment regularly in one of the language centers and the other 38 participants are chosen randomly from the whole population to constitute the Control group. They all have

Anecdote And Evidence A Comparison Of Student Performance Using Two Learning ...

Mary Calkins

This study compared student performance on an exam when information was presented using two different teaching styles - one emphasizing the lecturer's personal experiences with patients, and the other emphasizing formal sources like textbooks and journals. Students scored higher overall and in specific domains when the personal experience style was used. Most student comments also indicated they found the personal experience style more useful for learning. The study argues anecdotal teaching can be an effective method by enhancing authenticity, providing context, and giving students a sense of ownership over the material. Hearing real stories from experienced clinicians makes the information seem more believable and realistic to students.

Language Learning Strategy Use; Does Critical Thinking Make a Difference?

English Literature and Language Review ELLR

The present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of critical thinking level on Iranian EFL learners’ choice of language learning strategies. The participants were 93 male and female B.A. level Iranian students majoring in English language teaching and English translation at Imam Khomeini International University in Qazvin; Zanjan University; and Kar non-profit University in Qazvin. Data were collected using the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL), and Peter Honey’s Critical Thinking Scale. The participants were divided into three levels (High, Mid, Low) of critical thinking based on their scores on the critical thinking questionnaire. The participants’ strategy use in the three groups was compared using six separate one-way ANOVA procedures. The results showed that the level of critical thinking significantly influenced students’ choice of memory, cognitive, metacognitive and social strategies, but had no significant effect on the choice of compensation and affective strategies. The findings of this study may have both theoretical and pedagogical implications for learners, teachers, and syllabus designers.

ATTITUDE OF STUDENTS TOWARDS RESEARCH

Darian Pruitt

This document summarizes a study on students' attitudes toward research. The study found that most students had a negative attitude toward research activities and lacked capabilities and insight into research. It is recommended to improve students' knowledge and engagement with research. While students showed some knowledge of research, their attitudes were inadequate. Greater focus on research skills in the curriculum could help increase student interest. Barriers like a lack of information and support negatively impact students' research abilities. Overall, graduating students tended to have negative views of research, which is problematic if a nation aims to advance in technology and research. The instructional process should be modified to foster more positive attitudes toward research methods.
