Mini-museums as a nexus for storytelling and pedagogy
Get PDFThe Centre for Research into Education, Creativity and the Arts through Practice (RECAP) is a unique hub, specialising in practice-based research and focusing on creativity, learning and the arts in professional, educational contexts.This research project aimed to explore the potential of storytelling pedagogies in educational settings, and to assess the feasibility of creating mini-museums in schools. Through the involvement of two primary schools in the Northwest of England, the project was able to collect primary data and refine plans for the introduction of artefacts and storytelling methods in other schools. The research assistants conducted interviews and used the 'Crazy 8' sketching technique to collect information about typical users, preferred type of product, preferences regarding colour schemes and visual design, typical contents, accessibility aspects, access and security issues, and other requirements specific to the school

Enabling collaborative lesson research
Get PDF© 2024 The Authors. The Curriculum Journal published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of British Educational Research Association.In this paper, we interrogate and justify the design of a local project that used collaborative design research in a secondary school in England. As authors, we represent teachers and teacher educators engaged in design research, whereby we acknowledge the difficulties implicit to university and school collaborations within a performative culture. Our analysis recognises the struggle for research‐informed professional judgement in the decision‐making and actions of educators that are situated in schools. A professional learning project is analysed to position teachers and teacher educators as practitioner researchers. In this respect, Stenhouse's work provides an analytical framework that is both a lens through which to interpret the nature of collaborations, as well as a methodology that allows us to understand the way in which we navigate the gap between educators' aspirations and the curriculum design and teaching within the project. The collaborative design research project was stimulated by an aspiration to make trigonometry accessible to low prior attaining pupils in a secondary mathematics classroom. This provides a stimulus for understanding the conditions that enable collaborative lesson inquiry and to question whether it can provoke raised aspirations for young people in inclusive classrooms. This allows us to understand the work of teachers as researchers and research users in an increasingly messy teacher education context. We interrogate the potentially problematic connection between research and practice within collaborative inquiry, as we understand how we enable research that is “held accountable for its relevance to practice” because “that relevance can only be validated by practitioners” (Stenhouse, 1988, p. 49)
Demographic and clinical characteristics impact the use of restrictive interventions in an adolescent inpatient unit
Get PDFThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Evidence-Based Practice in Child and Adolescent Mental Health on 25/04/2024, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/23794925.2024.2344474In adolescents admitted to mental health inpatient units, restrictive interventions are associated with a risk of physical and psychological harm. Mental health policy and legal frameworks advocate least restrictive options and there is a drive to reduce the use of restrictive interventions in inpatient units. There is insufficient evidence pertaining to the characteristics of UK adolescents who are at risk of experiencing restrictive interventions within general adolescent mental health units. This study aimed to determine whether demographic and clinical characteristics are associated with the use and type of restrictive interventions.
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using routinely collected data from a general adolescent unit in the National Health Service (NHS) in England, UK, over a 2-year period (1st January 2021 to 31st December 2022).
There were three key findings. Of the 122 adolescents admitted, 46(38%) experienced restrictive intervention. Characteristics associated with the increased use of restrictive interventions included diagnosis of behavioural and emotional disorders and being a child looked after by the local authority. Being male was significantly associated with seclusion and being a child looked after was significantly associated with the use of physical and chemical interventions.
These findings have important implications for policy and practice; they highlight the need for careful consideration by professionals, as to whether the risks of admission including the increased risk of restrictive interventions outweigh the potential benefits and for further consideration of the most appropriate strategies for reducing the need for and use of restrictive interventions
Best practice for embryology staffing in HFEA licensed assisted conception centres-guidance from Association of Reproductive & Clinical Scientists
Get PDFThe Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists (ARCS) has long promoted the importance of externally accredited training and assessment of scientific staff within assisted conception centres to ensure professional registration and relevant training at all levels. This not only gives scientific staff the opportunity to empower themselves but also acts to ensure assisted conception centres maintain the highest standards of care and quality for patients whilst meeting HFEA requirements for staffing and training. It also provides assurance to patients that treatment is being delivered by highly trained and competent staff. Clinical embryology practice requires intense concentration, with increasingly complex treatment plans and options coupled with the ever-present consequences of clinical error at the forefront of practitioners’ minds, exhaustion and burn out are very real risks. Overloading embryology teams is likely to lead to increased error rates and serious incidents. This guideline aims to bring the sector in line with other Clinical Science specialities to optimise patient care, increase safety, reduce risk (including the risk of legal action against centres and individuals), ensure the use of recognised job titles with appropriate levels of remuneration, and provide centres with a template to work towards for appropriate levels of scientific staffing
Student-Led Live Broadcast Tour: An Elevated Learning Journey for Tourism Students
Get PDFThe version of record of this article, first published in [SN Computer Science], is available online at Publisher’s website: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s42979-024-02729-0Drawing upon the concept of student-led live broadcasting tour (LBT), this study aims to construct and empirically test the Input-Process-Output (IPO) framework that links inputs, processes, and outputs within online tourism educational context. The sample involved students who are currently studying a tourism program in the Greater Bay Area, China. One group of students was invited as the audience with another group of students acting as tour guides to lead a live broadcasting tour. Upon completion of the tour, the audience group was invited to fll in the questionnaire survey. The data were gathered through the questionnaire survey from December 2022 to March 2023. The survey instruments were designed based on existing research and the IPO framework. The quantitative data were analysed by SPSS and SmartPLS. 5 hypotheses were developed based on the IPO framework. The results confrmed that students perceived student-led LBT positively in terms of input dimensions (intrinsic motivation and resources support), process dimension (learning climate) and output dimension (learning outcomes and satisfaction). This study gives implications to educators on how student-led LBT can be designed and implemented under the constraints of travel. The utilisation of technology ofers educators the possibility to enrich the learning experience of tourism students in a more afordable and efective way.unfunde
Understanding the contribution of intellectual disabilities nurses. Paper 4 of 4 - Impacts of intellectual disability nursing interventions
Get PDF© The Author(s) 2024.Internationally, there is a wide variety of roles and expectations for intellectual disabilities nurses, and the range of nursing interventions they undertake in this field has not been clearly identified. In this paper we report the impacts of intellectual nursing interventions from an online survey of intellectual disability nurses. An online survey, using voluntary response sampling was used to collect case study examples from 230 participants from seven countries. We identified 13 themes of the impacts, and 23 broad groups of case examples of intellectual disability nursing interventions with, pregnant women, children, adults, older adults, and people at the end of life. Awareness of the roles of intellectual disability nurses and their importance in addressing health inequalities and facilitating the use of mainstream services for people with intellectual disabilities will enable improved healthcare experience and healthcare outcomes for people with intellectual disabilities.RCN Foundation; Grant(s): 2020021

The nursery of the king's infantry? Reassessing the civil war in Wales, 1642-46
No full textThis article reassesses the nature of the civil war in Wales and in particular the apparent support for the king found in most of the Principality. It explores royalist allegiance afresh, questioning the depth and strength of that allegiance, finding evidence for strained and waning support for the king's cause from quite early in the civil war and assessing both how and why parliament was able to secure most of Wales very quickly and without a fight in the latter stages of the war.Unfunde
