The Impact of Digital Portfolios on the Economics End of Course Assessment

Digital Portfolios, also known as electronic portfolios, became more visible in the educational landscape. This study employs a causal comparative design to assess the impact of web-based digital portfolios on seniors’ standardized economics assessment scores at a Metro Atlanta high school. The purpose of this study is to determine if students’ use of digital portfolios caused differences in economics end-of-course (EOC) assessment scores (dependent variable) between different groups of high school students (independent variables) across two years of implementation. Using the first-generation activity theory as the theoretical framework, the researcher frames the study as an activity system where the groups of high school seniors (subjects), digital portfolios (tools), and the objective is earning proficient scores on the economics EOC assessment. Data was collected from the spring 2018 and spring 2019 Georgia Milestones economics assessments and analyzed with a factorial ANOVA. The researcher found statistically significant differences between the mean economics EOC assessment scores of students who used digital portfolios in their economics classes compared to students who did not. Of the students who used digital portfolios, the researcher also found statistically significant differences between students enrolled in AP economics courses compared to students enrolled in regular economics courses and statistically significant differences between gifted and non-gifted students. Implications from the study could initiate a paradigm shift in the approach to purposefully fusing technology into secondary classrooms, especially economics classrooms. Furthermore, the findings of this study could create a demand for more research or training of specific technological strategies to support student learning in economics, preparation for end-of course tests, and other summative exams

Transfer of care – a randomised control trial investigating the effect of sending the details of patients’ discharge medication to their community pharmacist on discharge from hospital

Objective: There is substantial evidence demonstrating that transferring patients between care providers is a high-risk area for medicines management. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sending patients’ hospital discharge letters to their nominated community pharmacists on the number of discrepancies between the patient’s general practitioner (GP) records and the discharge letter and between the patient’s self-described medication regime and the discharge letter. Methods: In a randomised, controlled trial, 33 participants in two groups, control and intervention, had their discharge letter sent to either their GP only or their GP and nominated community pharmacy after hospital discharge. At least 3 weeks after hospital discharge, the participant’s current GP’s medication record and their self-described medication regime was obtained. Discrepancies between their GP medication record and their discharge letter and between the participant’s self-described medication regime and their discharge letter were counted. The number of discrepancies (relative to the number of drugs pre- scribed) in the intervention group was compared with the control group for each of the above two categories, using the chi-squared test to determine the statistical significance of any differences between the two groups. Results: The intervention group had statistically fewer discrepancies than the control group for both data sets: GP records compared with the discharge letters (P < 0.0005); participants’ self-described medication regimes compared with the discharge letters (P < 0.00005). Conclusions: Sending a copy of patients’ discharge letters to their community pharmacists could be beneficial in reducing post-discharge prescribing discrepancies and improving patient understanding of the changes made to their medicines
