Internal Medicine Learning A to Z and 1, 2, 3: A High Reliability Approach to Clinical Knowledge and Standardized Testing Success
by Joe LezamaThis book prepares internal medicine and medicine-pediatrics residents for their internal medicine board examinations. Having a clear and consistent strategy for standardized testing is the key to keeping up with the voluminous material internal medicine residents are expected to retain for standardized tests. This book helps create an “internal calendar” that will set residents up for success. The volume is divided into three sections that exemplify the teaching strategies Dr. Lezama has developed for internal medicine and medicine-pediatric residents over the past 23 years. Section one comprises quick tips for standardized test examinations in internal medicine. This section focuses on the design and format of the test and effective study strategies. Section 2 uses the “A to Z” format for twelve common disciplines in internal medicine, such as cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, psychiatry, and ophthalmology. The third and most comprehensive section forms the scaffolding of Dr. Lezama’s learning strategy. It lays out a detailed three-year, three-days-per-week plan to tackle the often overwhelming amount of information trainees must learn. The target of each day is to learn ten “pearls of knowledge,” which are reiterated and presented in different lights throughout the section to aid retention and understanding. Internal Medicine from A to Z and 1, 2, 3 is a must-have resource for internal medicine residents and third year medical students, as well as faculty members of internal medicine residencies who are actively teaching, coaching, or overseeing residents. Internists who are preparing for their 10-year recertification examination will also find this book useful.

Internalisierbare Mengenbilder im individualisierten Mathematikunterricht: Eine Studie zur Entwicklung eines Lernmaterials für Personen mit Besonderheiten in der Simultanerfassung
by Torben RieckmannIn diesem Open.Access-Buch wird gezeigt, dass eine verminderte Fähigkeit zur Simultanerfassung eine Ursache von Rechenschwäche sein kann. Mathematische Lernschwierigkeiten offenbaren sich häufig schon im frühen Grundschulunterricht. Die gängigen Lernmaterialien im mathematischen Anfangsunterricht verwenden zur Mengendarstellung die Kraft der Fünf, die für betroffene Schüler*innen eine besondere Hürde darstellt.In einem Educational Design Research-Projekt wurde gemeinsam mit Personen mit Trisomie 21, dem Down-Syndrom, das mathildr-System entwickelt. Das System eignet sich in der Binnendifferenzierung als Alternative zur Kraft der Fünf und kann zur Entwicklung einer Mengenvorstellung und zum Erlernen des Kopfrechnens verwendet werden. In einer formativen Evaluation wurden die Lernfortschritte von 30 Schüler*innen mit Trisomie 21 im Alter von vier bis 17 Jahren im Zusammenhang mit dem mathildr-System dokumentiert. Ein abschließendes Quasi-Experiment mit 36 Schüler*innen mit Trisomie 21 zeigt zudem, dass sich mathildr zur quasi-simultanen Mengenerfassung eignet. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes wurden Lernmaterialien entwickelt, die Einzug an Schulen gehalten haben.
International Academic Staff: The Roles of Languages, Cultures, and Personalities
by Nick Pilcher Kendall Richards Gyung Sook LeeThis book focuses on the experiences of international academic staff in higher education, particularly examining the influences of issues such as languages, cultures, and personalities. The qualitative approach taken by the authors provides vignettes of varied international contexts, which are then compared and analysed to highlight important considerations for practice in different settings. By exploring the experiences of staff teaching within a language that is not their first language, and in a different cultural context, the authors contribute to a burgeoning area of research, and scholars working on Applied Linguistics, Higher Education, English as a Medium of Instruction and other aspects of Internationalisation are likely to find the book relevant and useful.
International Action Research: Educational Reform
by Sandra HollingsworthHow groups of people, from various educational settings worlwide, conduct research together is the subject of this book. Rather than wait for top- down policy changes in education, many practitioners are conducting research in order to implement reform from the bottom-up, the aim of this research being to progress action necessary for educational reform. The authors look at different aspects and the impact of action research on educational reform around the world, including: how do geography and philosophy affect differences on this work worldwide?; what is the political nature of groups currently taking action to improve education?; and what are the tensions between personal and instructional changes that come from participating in action research? The text also considers the effects of action research on changes in the professions including education, social work, nursing and management.
International Anatomical Education: The Trans-European Pedagogic Anatomy Research Group (Biomedical Visualization #9)
by Isabel Stabile Iain D. Keenan Asha VenkateshAnatomy is intrinsically a three-dimensional and visual discipline. Anatomical education is therefore primarily delivered using physical and digital three-dimensional visual approaches to support student understanding of anatomy, including human body donor specimens and technology-enhanced learning resources. The Trans-European Pedagogic Anatomy Research Group (TEPARG) was founded in 2003 to promote scholarly, research-informed, and evidence-based approaches to the design and implementation of anatomical education. TEPARG brings together enthusiastic anatomy teachers and pedagogic researchers from across Europe and beyond to share good practice and create new projects in support of anatomical education. The work presented in this volume demonstrates careful consideration by the authors of several key areas within the current complex landscape of international anatomical education. This volume is presented in two subthemes, with the first section concerning broad considerations of modern anatomy curricula in England, Scotland, Wales, and Austria, and the second section involving discussion of pedagogic innovations for the delivery of anatomical education to learners and to the wider public in Italy, Spain, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The work presented in this volume will have implications for anatomical educators and pedagogic researchers in the anatomical sciences who are seeking to develop their own anatomy curricula, and to implement effective, evidence-based, and research informed visualization strategies and innovations into their teaching.
International Approaches to Promoting Social and Emotional Learning in Schools: A Framework for Developing Teaching Strategy
by Markus Talvio Kirsti LonkaThis book explores the importance of social and emotional learning (SEL) in schools to foster supportive environments and good relationships. It presents research from nine different countries with discussion of how teachers, student teachers and policymakers can ensure successful SEL at school. The book stresses the importance of social and emotional learning to allow students to become more autonomous and active in their own learning and presents very innovative ways of learning and teaching the skills. It makes the case for understanding the processes of how SEL can develop and how it can work in different cultural contexts, considering different challenges of implementing SEL within the school context. The chapters draw on theoretical discussions illustrated by practical examples and explore the role of teacher training in SEL and how SEL can be applied within the school curriculum. Discussing an increasingly important topic in the field of education around the world, this book will be of great interest to academics, researchers, educational leaders and university teacher trainers interested in developing social and emotional learning and overall well-being at school.
International Assistance and State-University Relations (Studies in Higher Education)
by Jo BastiaensThis book explores the goals, efforts and outcomes of international assistance to higher education over the past three decades and investigates how these have impacted changing State-university relations. Focusing on the case study of Indonesia, Bastiaens demonstrates how international aid facilitated and at times actively encouraged changing patterns of state-university relations from state control towards greater institutional autonomy. Through the use of various case studies from throughout the country and critical analysis of the relationships between international donors and domestic reformers, Bastiaens shows how the educational system of Indonesia was able to diversify resources, generate income, and become increasingly autonomous from government.

International Comparisons of China’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training System
by Stephen Lamb Zhenyi GuoChina is experiencing an unprecedented phenomenon: breakneck industrialization on a scale and at a pace not seen before. It is trying to achieve in just a few decades what Western nations took more than a century to do. The arrival in the country's cities of tens of millions of rural dwellers, at most semi-skilled, has put huge strain on the country's system of vocational education, known as TVET. How have the Chinese authorities and their education administrators responded? Is China's TVET system adapting to the rapidly evolving needs of its industry? Using the province of Yunnan as a subject, this detailed case study is a closely argued and sanguine analysis of the operation of TVET in China. The authors deployed a set of internationally comparable criteria to offer a searching assessment of current performance, at the same time documenting areas of strength and weakness. The question the authors' methodology answers is how well China's TVET system is performing compared to technical and vocational education structures in other countries. In fact, they discover that in Yunnan, a province representative of the challenges faced nationwide, much has indeed been done, from a wholesale overhaul of programs to make them relevant to industry requirements, to major investment in infrastructure. Teacher training has been reformed, and take-up of professional master's and doctoral courses has been encouraged. Joint initiatives with bodies such as UNESCO have improved training and vocational education at high school level. While there is a strong international history of such comparative evaluations, which are essential for policy makers to benchmark their administration, few studies have included China despite the enormous amount of value that can be learned from that country's experience. This work will provide vital material for researchers, governments and development agencies alike.
International Comparisons of Vocational Education and Training for Intermediate Skills (Routledge Revivals)
by Paul RyanPaul Ryan has brought together the writings of the most prominent British research into vocational preparation in Britain in comparison to the other advanced economies, primarily within the EEC. The book, originally published in 1991, documents various aspects of inadequacy in British practice at the time, concentrating upon intermediate skills, which are of crucial importance for economic performance. The introduction outlines the strengths and weaknesses of comparative research. Part 1 discusses the use which has been made of it by policy makers in Britain and various aspects of comparative methods in practical comparisons, including an Anglo-Scottish one. Part 2 concerns vocational preparation in connection with productivity and produce markets, noting its importance for economic performance and its dependence upon companies’ product choices. Part 3 contains studies of the organization of skills and work and the finance of training within the EEC as a whole. Part 4 comprises studies of training in relation to labour market structures, each of which indicates similar alternatives for training policy in Britain – alternatives whose relevance and political prospects can only be enhanced by the demise of Thatcher government deregulatory policies.
