Psychological type and undergraduate student achievement in pharmacy course in Military Medical University

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator （MBTI） was given to 264 students in an undergraduate Pharmacy course at a military medical university. Selected MBTI personality types were compared for achievement in the course using a t-test to compare total points earned. High grades were earned by students stronger in the traits of introversion （I） and judgment （J）, whereas the extraverted （E） and perceptive （P） types had the lowest grades and dropped out of the course in the largest numbers. When combinations of MBTI types were compared, the highest grades were earned as follows： IJ 〉 SJ 〉 ST 〉 IS （S： Sensing; T： Thinking; J： Judgment）. This ranking indicates that a sensing personality also has a strong relationship to achievement in this pharmacy course when it is combined with judgment, thinking. Instructors and students need to be aware of the relationship between personality and learning so that they can modify their teaching style and learning behavior to enhance academic achievement.     

How to Use a Textbook Effectively

No textbook can be exactly designed for students; teachers should manage to use a textbook effectively. There are two facets to understand how to use a textbook: one is to go inside the textbook; the other is the context, the students, and the teacher. A framework will do some help when using a new textbook and we‘ll have to adapt in some ways.

English Language Assistance Needs of Chinese Students

It is known that the IELTS test has not been a good predictor of English capability in academic settings. More information is required. Are students not motivated to keep improving their English; what obstacles do they face? The English language issues facing international students from China at one University are explored through a survey and focus groups. It is observed that a lack of motivation is not the key factor. Rather one core problem is the very difficult demands of acculturation within a short time frame which would enable confidence for the students to continue to engage with other English speaking students. When faced with such immediate and hard to achieve acculturation, many retreat to their language groups. In the academic context, support for the transition to discipline based academic genres is double difficult as the time frame for second language learners is longer, but performance requirements are more immediate. Many first language students also have difficulties in this area, but have the easier language path to mastery. The study draws usefully on a comparison made with students studying English in China.     

Hong Kong students＇ approaches to learning： Cross-cultural comparisons

Anecdotal evidence abounds in Hong Kong to the effect that students entering tertiary education are predisposed to a ＂rote＂ learning approach. With the internalisation of higher education in many countries, there is still insufficient understanding of how Chinese students approach their learning. Except few studies were conducted locally, there have been no systematic studies undertaken and there is a tendency to rely on anecdotal statements about Hong Kong students＇ approaches to learning. This study was designed to see if Hong Kong Chinese students who enrolled into a 3-year undergraduate programme in occupational therapy predisposed to a surface or deep approach to learning react differently when moving progressively from one stage to the next stage in their curriculum. The study adopted a longitudinal design method and measured students＇ changes in their approaches to learning using the Biggs＇ Study Process Questionnaire （SPQ）. The internal consistency reliability estimates for SPQ scales for samples of Hong Kong, Australia and UK were compared. The results of this study indicated that Hong Kong Chinese students demonstrated a higher mean for the deep approach learning and a lower mean for the surface approach, similar to other Hong Kong studies conducted in other tertiary institutions in Hong Kong and Australia.

How to Discipline Students in the United States

In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline studentsin several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the students＇ parents. Some- times students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student can＇t come to school for one, two or three days. MrLazares, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to dis- cipline his students in these ways. He thought if he didn＇t let the students come to school, they were happy. ＂A three-day holiday!＂ they thought.     

谈谈基础阶段教学的几个问题(英文)

The way of teaching in the early stages has been the question of discussion for years. Here I will limit myself to five points: (1) to help the students form good habits of learning; (2) to teach the students the perfection of the English sound system; (3) to help the students form good habits of reading; (4) to teach grammar in speech, not by constructing sentences according to rules; (5) to reduce to a minimum the use of translation by the learning of vocabulary. My aim is to put the question for further discussion.     

Evaluation of mobile authoring and tutoring in medical issues

Mobile computing facilities may provide many assets to the educational process. Mobile technology provides software access from anywhere and at any time, as well as computer equipment independence. The need for time and place independence is even greater for medical instructors and medical students. Medical instructors are usually doctors that have to treat patients on top of their tutoring duties. Mobile features are complementary to web-based features for desktop computers to a high extend in asynchronous e-learning environments. Time and place independence is also a considerable potential for medical students with overloaded educational duties. This paper examines the degree of the usefulness of mobile facilities for medical instructors who wish to author and manage their courses by using a mobile authoring tool. Furthermore, this paper investigates how acceptable and useful the mobile features of an e-learning system have been to medical students who have used the system, in comparison with the use of the system through a desktop computer. In addition, it investigates usability issues.
