Student-created content videos in flipped learning environment provides a new methodology for teaching and learning. This study examined effect of student-created content videos in statistics flipped classroom on students' higher-order thinking skills, engagement, and satisfaction. Explorative qualitative study was conducted using data from students' surveys and tests from integrated and non-integrated student-created video flipped classrooms to measure students' higher-order thinking skills, student engagement and satisfaction. Interviews and notes were conducted to support the data. A randomized controlled trial was implemented to examine the impact of student-created content videos on students' higher-order thinking skills, engagement and satisfaction. The findings revealed that flipped learning with student-created content videos is effective in increasing students' higher-order thinking skills, engagement, and satisfaction. The study posited that students who created their own content videos had more autonomous learning that satisfied their needs, freedom, and satisfaction. Also, those students were more engaged in their learning process and therefore became good and successful learners, consequently achieved high grades.
More realistic human-mosquito mathematical model in which re-infected asymptomatic humans are considered is presented. The Next Generation Matrix technique is used to construct epidemiological threshold known as the reproduction number. Locally and globally asymptotically stable disease-free equilibrium conditions for the model are established. Possible time-scale of events for model transition from non-endemic to endemic is analyzed. Results show that the buildup of the latent asymptomatic humans at steady state is the main dynamics of malaria in the endemic region.
Mathematical model that addresses the underlying transmission mechanisms of Chagas disease and/or HIV infections is developed and analyzed. The Next Generation Method is used to construct a certain epidemiological threshold known as the basic reproduction number R 0. The locally and globally asymptotically stable disease free equilibrium conditions for the model are established. Whenever R 0 is less than unity, the disease free equilibrium point is asymptotically stable, therefore the endemic equilibrium state does not exist. When R 0 is more than unity, the disease free equilibrium state is asymptotically unstable and so the disease will persist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
