“…Various research employ students" conceptions of course evaluation items to assess learning performance. These research analyze the difference between pre-learning and post-learning (also called pre-teaching vs. post-teaching, pre-lecture vs. post-lecture, pre-test vs. post-test) responses to the same questionnaire items (Chotimah&Rafi,2018;Hayes,Holden, Gaynor, Kavanagh, & Otoom, 2013;Fleming-Castaldy, 2018).…”

To cultivate technology management talents for industry, higher education institutions have developed technology management education since the 1990s. The purpose of introducing technology management course into non-technology discipline, especially Business School, aims to help enterprises foster talents to make appropriate technology-related decisions. This work addresses students’ conception performance of learning technology management. This research employs a modified Importance-Performance Analysis method to analyze the course contents’ understandability before and after learning by a questionnaire survey. As the results show, the mean scores of almost all themes before learning are below average and median. However, after class, the scores show minor deviation and notable progress, almost twice the scores before learning. That is to say; a scenario-based learning factory approach is effective for the non- technology students to learn technology management knowledge. Besides, there are two teaching themes with low prior knowledge creating major performance and nine teaching units with little prior knowledge creating less improvement. The teaching effort should be addressed in these nine teaching units to improve learning performance in technology management.

This paper investigates the journey embarked upon by foundation year medical students in order to adapt to new ways of learning, knowing and realizing self-determination as they navigate the new situated spaces of a transnational medical university in the Middle East. Drawing on a body of research carried out in this university, and with reference to wider literature on transnational education, this paper develops insights and makes recommendations on how to support local Arab students from Arabic secondary schools who enter transnational medical education 'at home'. The discussion considers an important component of this as being the shift in this context from previous learning through the medium of Arabic to tertiary level learning in English. It is argued that the transition of transnational students can be mapped through ontological and epistemological lenses through a journey from 'known space' to 'new place'. A tri-support model which demonstrates this transition is presented which can be usefully applied to other transnational educational contexts.

“…The rationale behind this programme is that the sooner the students are informed about the pedagogical practice of the university, the sooner they will follow this practice and their transition to tertiary education will be enhanced. 19 This rationale was developed based on the socio-cultural model of Communities of Practice (CoP) 20 as a framework for understanding transitions to HE21 which advocates knowledge-sharing and development of desired skills through apprenticeship and explicit, guided teaching by experienced members of the university community. CoP propose that when there are too many differences between the practices of two communities of practice, transitions may be affected in a negative way.…”

Understanding intercultural transitions of medical students

ObjectivesThe aim of this research was to explore the transition of medical students to an international branch campus of a medical university established in Bahrain. MethodsIn order to gain insights into this transition, we explored two culturally diverse systems of learning of the university and the local schools in Bahrain, using Communities of Practice as a lens for understanding transitions. Focus groups were conducted with secondary school teachers and first year medical students. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with university lecturers. ResultsThe findings suggest that, while Communities of Practice have been influential in contextualising transitions to university, this model does not seem to help us to fully understand intercultural transitions to the case-study university. ConclusionsThe research emphasises that more attention should be given to learner individual agency within this theory as a framework for understanding transitions. It also challenges approaches within medical education that attempt to standardise systems of learning through acquisition of established practices.
