Purposive Learning

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Visual System

Visual System

Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Modeling and Similitude

Modeling and Similitude

Scaled modeling is a fundamental technique in engineering, enabling the study of large and complex systems by creating smaller, manageable replicas that recreate critical characteristics of the original. In hydrology and civil infrastructure, for example, scaled models of dams help analyze water flow, turbulence, and pressure. This method allows for accurate predictions of real-world behavior within a controlled environment, significantly reducing the cost and time involved in full-scale...

Virtual Work

Virtual Work

The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Design Example: Designing Water Slide

Design Example: Designing Water Slide

When designing a water slide, controlling the speed of water flow is crucial for rider safety while maintaining an exciting experience. As water flows down the slide, gravity causes it to accelerate, with its speed at the bottom depending on the height from which it starts. The higher the slide, the more potential energy the water has at the top, which is converted into kinetic energy as it descends, increasing its speed.
Bernoulli's principle determines the water's velocity along the slide....

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Midwifery Training
Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

Traditional methods for teaching complex topics like postpartum hemorrhage can be limited.
Undergraduate midwifery programs require innovative tools to enhance clinical understanding.
Visual learning aids can improve comprehension of critical obstetric emergencies.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the development and implementation of a Visually Authentic Learning Tool (VALT™).
To assess the effectiveness of VALT™ in facilitating learning about "bleeding in pregnancy" for midwifery students.
To evaluate student satisfaction and perceived learning needs met by the VALT™.

Main Methods:

Development of a Visually Authentic Learning Tool (VALT™) featuring authentic, real-life simulations.
Application of the VALT™ within an undergraduate midwifery curriculum.
Collection of student feedback on the VALT™ experience.
Descriptive analysis of collated student feedback regarding satisfaction and learning needs.

Main Results:

Students reported positive experiences with the VALT™.
The tool was perceived as an engaging and unique learning opportunity.
VALT™ effectively enhanced the understanding of written scenarios through visual representation.

Conclusions:

Visually Authentic Learning Tools (VALT™) are valuable for midwifery education.
The VALT™ promotes learning by catering to diverse learning styles.
This innovative approach enhances the realism and effectiveness of obstetric emergency training.
