Distributed Problem Based Learning in a Low Resources Setting: The design and evaluation of a problem-based, web-based curriculum for training family doctors in Brazil

__Abstract__ This thesis explored the use of distributed PBL in health professional education in a low-resources context. Three central questions were studied in this thesis: (a) Is distance education an acceptable educational strategy to train family health professionals in the State of Ceará under their perspective? (b) How do family health doctors appreciate a dPBL course that was developed for them? (c) How effective is this curriculum to achieve its purposes in terms of enhancement of medical knowledge and diagnostic skills? In order to address the first question we conducted a study with 209 family health professionals. A cross-sectional survey using self-administered questionnaires was carried out. The findings showed that the respondents had positive perceptions and attitude towards DE and were motivated to participate in a DE course. To address the second central research question we conducted a comprehensive programme evaluation study with 42 family doctors who had participated in the course “Clinical Approach for Elderly People with Dementia” from the participants’ perspective. In general, the results indicated that the competence-based approach for curriculum design was adequate for our proposal and that the course was highly appreciated by the respondents. The third research question was addressed by a quasi-experimental study aiming at evaluating the effectiveness of the dPBL course to enhance knowledge and diagnostic skills on dementia. We used a pretest–posttest control group design in the study. The results showed significant effects of the course on participants’ knowledge and diagnostic skills

Design and Implementation mDPBL Teaching Approach to Improve Students' Creative Thinking Skill

The majority of learning in Universities is adopting the Direct Instructional (DI) approach. The DI approach is a lecturer-centered approach. Howover, this approach tends to be boring for the students as it is very tedious and dominated by the lecturer. Moreover, this approach limits students in developing the habit of problem-solving and creative thinking in learning processes. Therefore, it is very important to develop a new innovative approach in teaching activity that gives students more opportunities to be involved in the learning process. Direct Problem-Based Learning with the utilisation of Multimedia (mDPBL) is developed as an alternative teaching approach to eliminate the disadvantages, especially in the limitations in students' creative thinking.This research measures students’ creative thinking skills after being taught using mDPBL approach. This research uses quasi-experimental method. 276 students involved in this research. The result of the measurement shows that the students’ controlled group has an average score of 18.014 while the latter, the experimental group has an average score of 19.669. Based on the t-test analysis conducted in both groups, they have shown a difference of 1.655 in average score. Therefore, there is an indication that the mDPBL approach contributes to improving students’ creative thinking skills.Sebagian besar pembelajaran di perguruan tinggi saat ini menggunakan pendekatan pembelajaran Direct Instruction (DI). DI adalah pendekatan pembelajaran yang berbasis pada dosen (lecturer-centred). Namun dekmikian, pendekatan ini sangat membosankan bagi mahasiswa karena proses belajar mengajar lebih didominasi oleh dosen. Selain itu, pendekatan ini juga membatasi mahasiswa dalam mengembangan ide dan kreatifitas selama proses belajar mengajar berlangsung. Oleh karena itu, perlu dikembangakan sebuah inovasi pendekatan pembelajaran yang memberikan kesempatan kepada mahasiswa terlibat dalam proses belajar mengajar. Pendekatan Direct Problem-Based Learning berbasis multimedia (mDPBL) dikembangkan sebagai alternatif pendekatan pemebelajaran untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan khususnya keterbatasan kemampuan creative thinking mahasiswa. Penelitian ini mengukur sejauhmana kemampuan creative thinking mahasiswa setelah pendekatan pembelajaran menggunakan pendekatan mDPBL. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode quasi-experimental. 276 mahasiswa terlibat dalam penelitian ini.  Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan bahwa kelompok kontrol memiliki skor rata-rata 18.014 sedangkan kelompok eksperimen memiliki skor rata-rata 19.669. Berdasarkan analisis t-Test pada kedua kelompok menunjukkan perbedaan nilai rata-rata sebesar 1.655. Dengan demikian, terdapat indikasi bahwa pendekatan pembelajaran mDPBL berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan kemampuan creative thinking mahasiswa

Digital 3D Technologies for Humanities Research and Education: An Overview

Digital 3D modelling and visualization technologies have been widely applied to support research in the humanities since the 1980s. Since technological backgrounds, project opportunities, and methodological considerations for application are widely discussed in the literature, one of the next tasks is to validate these techniques within a wider scientific community and establish them in the culture of academic disciplines. This article resulted from a postdoctoral thesis and is intended to provide a comprehensive overview on the use of digital 3D technologies in the humanities with regards to (1) scenarios, user communities, and epistemic challenges; (2) technologies, UX design, and workflows; and (3) framework conditions as legislation, infrastructures, and teaching programs. Although the results are of relevance for 3D modelling in all humanities disciplines, the focus of our studies is on modelling of past architectural and cultural landscape objects via interpretative 3D reconstruction methods
