Reasons for suboptimal learning in medical microbiology

Medical microbiology presents a challenge to undergraduate students, mostly due to its extensive content and complexity of unfamiliar terminology. In addition to a narrative review of the literature, we report findings on students’ motivation for and approach to learning in the Infections module of an undergraduate medical curriculum, and their perceived lack of retention of knowledge acquired in the module, as determined by a self-administered, anonymous questionnaire. When students experienced information overload, they reverted to performance goals and the wrong motivation for learning. Their focus turned primarily to being successful in tests and examinations, and they consequently adopted a surface approach to learning. Surface learning and memorisation of facts without understanding its content usually result in moderate retention of knowledge, which could handicap the development of clinical reasoning. However, the concern about students’ perceived poor retention of knowledge can be laid to rest – the prognosis is not discouraging after all.     

Enhanced teaching and student learning through a simulator-based course in chemical unit operations design

This paper illustrates a teaching technique used in computer applications in chemical engineering employed for designing various unit operation processes, where the students learn about unit operations by designing them. The aim of the course is not to teach design, but rather to teach the fundamentals and the function of unit operation processes through simulators. A case study presenting the teaching method was evaluated using student surveys and faculty assessments, which were designed to measure the quality and effectiveness of the teaching method. The results of the questionnaire conclusively demonstrate that this method is an extremely efficient way of teaching a simulator-based course. In addition to that, this teaching method can easily be generalised and used in other courses. A student's final mark is determined by a combination of in-class assessments conducted based on cooperative and peer learning, progress tests and a final exam. Results revealed that peer learning can improve the overall quality of student learning and enhance student understanding.

锚杆框架梁支护在雪道边坡防护中的应用

随着我国经济的快速发展,基础设施发展迅速,建设过程中新的施工技术层出不穷,其中对于工程岩体分化严重、结构面较发育的高挖方边坡,通常采用锚杆框架梁结构支护。然而,对于高山滑雪中心滑雪赛道两侧高陡边坡,除了要实现边坡稳定的同时还需考虑如何防止雪道污染的问题。本文结合北京2022年冬奥会高山滑雪中心第二标段的工程实践,详细阐述了兼具边坡支护和防止雪道污染的锚杆框架梁支护体系的设计原则、设计内容、施工工艺,并说明了施工中的一些细节或要点。实践证明该支护体系合理,不仅确保了边坡的安全稳定和防止了雪道污染,同时具有造价低、施工机动性强的特点,可以在类似的雪道施工中推广。
