“…Interestingly, it has been posited that parental engagement in children digital activities could limit unwanted exposure of children to inappropriate contents. However, it has been shown that children can nevertheless be confronted with inapt content, due to the easy-to-use graphic interfaces allowing them to activate other videos from the suggested playlist that is shown beside the original content set up by the adult [ 14 ]. Policy resources orientating automatic systems of protection have in fact been established having in mind older children (from 8 to 18 years), so little thought has been given to the security of young children using digital devices.…”

Over the last five years, there has been a significant increase in screen time and apps usage by children under five years old. The considerable growth in usage by very young children has not corresponded to conclusive and consistent research investigating its possible benefits and risks. This article proposes a brief overview of recent results in this field, specifically focusing on the use of educational apps and their positive, null, and/or negative outcomes on young children’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. The aim of the present article is to stimulate the development and advancement of evidence-based guidelines that caregivers and educators could adopt to regulate very young children’s engagement with digital technologies.

“…The concern for scholarly productivity and the quality of scholarly writing are clearly not unique to nursing. Examples found in the literature suggest this issue is evident in diverse disciplines such as biology (Colton & Surasinghe, 2014), business (Lawrence, 2013), education (Jalongo, 2013), engineering (Buzzi, Grimes, & Rolls, 2012), medicine (Pololi, Knight, & Dunn, 2004), pharmacy (Morris, Hatton, & Kimberlin, 2011), and psychology (Overholser, 2011). Heatwole (2008) argued that “the standard of writing in current scientific journals has reached an all-time low” (p. 159), asking if it were “not just as bad to produce bad writing as it is to produce bad science” (p. 163).…”

Disseminating new scientific knowledge through publication is critical for any discipline, including nursing. The challenge for nurse faculty is preparing emerging nurses with the skills, enthusiasm, and disposition to fully assume professional roles as nurse scientists and scholars, including that of author. Exploring how students learn to write for publication and barriers to writing for publication, recommendations are offered for teaching-learning as a guide to faculty in planning programs, developing curriculum, and identifying teaching-learning strategies.

“…While we were not always able to locate the current requirement for each school, all officially required texts listed online had been posted within the last 4 years. Among these top programs, one book was the overwhelming leader: Munson et al 16 (8 adoptions (2). Table 1 provides the details of the six texts selected for our analysis.…”

“…Yet it has also been found that technical writing is best taught during the learning of technical material. 2 This study is part of a larger ongoing project to understand and expand the incorporation of writing in large-lecture engineering courses, including investigation of faculty perspectives and textbook assignments and assessments. 3 The investigation of fluid mechanics textbooks, as presented in this paper, serves as an example and demonstration of a junior-level engineering class.…”

Writing has been identified as a critical skill and element of the engineering profession, yet it is rarely included in sophomore and junior level courses. Reflecting on our own prior efforts to develop writing assignments for such courses, we became curious about the extent to which the most popular engineering textbooks include writing prompts and related writing activities. This question seemed particularly important given that textbooks often play critical roles in engineering curricula and courses. Textbooks often influence how courses are structured, and reading assignments and homework problems are frequently assigned directly from textbooks. In this project, we systematically searched for and analyzed writing-based problems in six popular fluid mechanics textbooks, with a focus on chapters with similar technical content. We focused our efforts on identifying learning activities that could potentially allow students to practice writing, to learn through writing, and to use writing to relate course content to broader applications and contexts. We discuss our findings by classifying the types of writing prompts found, and we give recommendations for how professors could easily include writing in their courses with some of the textbooks that are already most commonly used. The result of this analysis will be an understanding of how well popular fluid mechanics textbook assignments guide students in writing, and how well the textbooks equip instructors to make use of those assignments. Some possible directions for further research are also proposed.
