There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.
To apply the principle of virtual work,...

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...

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...

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Vygotsky's Cognitive Development in Cultural Context

Vygotsky's Cognitive Development in Cultural Context

Lev Vygotsky, a pioneering Russian psychologist, developed a theory of cognitive development that centers on the influence of social and cultural factors. Unlike Jean Piaget, who emphasized the child's direct interaction with the physical world as key to development, Vygotsky argued that cognitive growth is an interpersonal process that unfolds within a cultural context. For Vygotsky, a child's learning cannot be separated from their social environment, which includes the values,...

Higher Education Studies
Educational Technology
Internationalisation in Education

Background:

Information and communication technology (ICT), including e-learning, facilitates innovative cross-national and cross-cultural learning approaches in higher education.
The concept of 'internationalisation on home grounds' aims to broaden international engagement beyond student and faculty mobility.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a practical case of collaborative and transformative learning within the framework of 'internationalisation on home grounds'.
To enhance participants' awareness and knowledge through virtual international collaboration.

Main Methods:

A virtual international collaborative exchange was established between two research universities (Sweden and USA) using a course management system (MOODLE) and open-access technology (Adobe CONNECT).
The project involved approximately 90 nursing students and faculty from each university per semester.
A joint learning community was developed, focusing on meaning construction and negotiated learning to create a virtual module and learning activity.

Main Results:

The project facilitated the development of strategies for addressing challenges in virtual international collaboration.
It opened avenues for global dialogue, contributing to a more interconnected higher education system.

Conclusions:

Virtual international exchanges offer novel contexts for communication and learning across diverse nations and cultures.
'Internationalisation on home grounds' is crucial for fostering faculty and student collaboration, learning, and professional growth, complementing traditional mobility programs.
