Enhancement of Anatomical Education Using Augmented Reality: An Empirical Study of Body Painting

Students in undergraduate premedical anatomy courses may experience suboptimal and superficial learning experiences due to large class sizes, passive lecture styles, and difficult-to-master concepts. This study introduces an innovative, hands-on activity for human musculoskeletal system education with the aim of improving students’ level of engagement and knowledge retention. In this study, a collaborative learning intervention using the REFLECT (augmented reality for learning clinical anatomy) system is presented. The system uses the augmented reality magic mirror paradigm to superimpose anatomical visualizations over the user’s body in a large display, creating the impression that she sees the relevant anatomic illustrations inside her own body. The efficacy of this proposed system was evaluated in a large-scale controlled study, using a team-based muscle painting activity among undergraduate premedical students (n = 288) at the Johns Hopkins University. The baseline knowledge and post-intervention knowledge of the students were measured before and after the painting activity according to their assigned groups in the study. The results from knowledge tests and additional collected data demonstrate that the proposed interactive system enhanced learning of the musculoskeletal system with improved knowledge retention (F_(10,133) = 3.14, P < 0.001), increased time on task (F_(1,275) = 5.70, P < 0.01), and a high level of engagement (F_(9,273) = 8.28, P < 0.0001). The proposed REFLECT system will be of benefit as a complementary anatomy learning tool for students.     

Effects of an Educational Film About Body Donors on Students' Empathy and Anxiety Levels in Gross Anatomy

While most German anatomy institutes provide only limited information about body donors and their lives, students have expressed a desire to learn more about these individuals, especially about their motivations to donate their bodies for the sake of medical education. In order to gratify this wish, as well as to further humanize body donors, an educational film was compiled, and a study designed to capture the film's effects on medical students. This is the first study using standardized, validated psychological tools to evaluate the impact of an educational film about body donors on students’ empathy and psychological stress levels. The study followed a longitudinal, controlled, and cluster randomized design, including 77 (48 females/29 males) participants who watched the video either before, midway, or after the dissection course. Questionnaires were completed at four points in time applying the Jefferson Scale for Empathy (JSPE-S) and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) to measure empathy. Psychological stress levels were recorded by the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Overall, students recommended the film to be shown to all students (median 6.0; maximum on the six-point Likert scale). Viewing the film revealed no significant changes between study groups or over time in JSPE-S sum scores. All groups demonstrated a significant reduction of BSI values before the dissection course actually started and increased values during the course, but both developments appeared not to be associated with the intervention. Overall, the educational film did not correlate with any negative effects on students’ empathy and psychological stress levels, and it was strongly approved of by students, as it provided more humanizing personal information about body donors without violating their anonymity.     

论身体的欲望及其艺术表现——尼采身体美学思想研究

身体是尼采生命哲学的有机组成部分,其最大的特点就是明确地为身体疾呼,肯定肉体生命,及对生命本能的张扬。而作为生命本能的欲望,其不仅开启了人们对于身体的关注,更开启了审视艺术与美的新通道。而此三者,身体、欲望、艺术的共舞又将人类的生命意志得到最大程度的彰显。尼采力图从生命存在的本质、人和世界的关系,来认识与理解身体、欲望和艺术的本质与价值。

全纳成人教育:成人教育可持续发展的必由之路

确保人人、终身、多样、平等地享受适合其需要的优质教育已成为现代教育的发展趋势。在社会转型期,成人教育也应秉承教育的终极目标,实施全纳化教育,推进教育公平,提高教育质量。这既是国际社会对成人教育发展的客观要求,也是成人教育自身可持续发展的必由之路。     

论庄子的身体思维

庄子思想中很多地方历来称为难解,如《齐物论》中＂莫若以明＂、＂为是不用而寓诸庸＂的思想意蕴,目前学界还没有令人信服的＂正解＂。之所以出现这种状况,主要在于没有把握庄子独特的思维方式——身体思维。这是一种比通常认识论思维更为源始的,具有自身明证性和确定性以及具体情境性等特征的,与认识论思维完全不同的思维方式。通过对这种思维方式的体察、辨析,便可对上述难解的庄子思想,进行较为合理、明澈的解释。
