Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

408
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...

Direct Motor Pathways01:11

Direct Motor Pathways

4.0K
The direct motor pathways, also known as the pyramidal tracts, are a group of neural pathways that originate in the brain and descend through the spinal cord. They control the voluntary movement of the body. There are two major direct motor pathways: the corticospinal and the corticobulbar tracts.
The corticospinal tract is responsible for the voluntary movement of the limbs and trunk. It originates in the cerebral cortex of the brain and descends through the cerebrum's internal capsule and...

Indirect Motor Pathways01:22

Indirect Motor Pathways

3.0K
The indirect motor or extrapyramidal pathways originate in the brainstem, the lower portion of the brain that connects it to the spinal cord. They consist of several distinct tracts, each with specialized functions. The four main tracts of the indirect motor pathways are the vestibulospinal tract, the reticulospinal tract, the tectospinal tract, and the rubrospinal tract.
The vestibulospinal tract originates in the vestibular nuclei of the brainstem. The vestibular system detects changes in...

Neural Circuits01:25

Neural Circuits

2.5K
Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

Hydraulic Jump: Problem Solving

439
To analyze a hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel with a flow speed of 6 meters per second, follow these steps:Calculate Effective Upstream Velocity:When the downstream gate closes, a hydraulic jump forms, traveling upstream at 2 meters per second. This wave speed combines with the initial channel flow velocity, creating an effective upstream velocity.Identify Flow Velocities Before and After the Hydraulic Jump:Upstream of the hydraulic jump, the effective flow velocity includes both the...

C4 Pathway and CAM01:27

C4 Pathway and CAM

48.5K
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.
C4 Pathway
The C4 pathway is used by plants such as...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Health Professional Education

Background:

  • Game-based interventions in higher education often lack comprehensive integration.
  • Implementing full-course gaming concepts is rare, especially in health professional education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To embed a game-based strategy across an entire dental hygiene course.
  • To evaluate the impact of a gated pathway and rewards on student engagement and performance.

Main Methods:

  • A gated pathway was implemented in the learning management system, restricting access to content until tasks were completed.
  • Students had to review lecture materials and pass quizzes to unlock subsequent weekly content.
  • Quiz games were used as rewards, and student engagement data were collected via the LMS.

Main Results:

  • Eighty-eight percent of students reported the gated pathway helped them complete tasks on time.
  • 87% of students found the intervention beneficial for their studies.
  • Exam performance was compared to a previous cohort without the intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Game-based concepts can be successfully integrated across a full dental hygiene course.
  • This approach positively impacts student engagement and academic performance.
  • Clinical educators can adapt this gamified strategy for improved student learning experiences.
