Undergraduate researchers at research universities are often mentored by graduate students or postdoctoral researchers (referred to collectively as “postgraduates”) and faculty, creating a mentoring triad structure. Triads differ based on whether the undergraduate, postgraduate, and faculty member interact with one another about the undergraduate’s research. Using a social capital theory framework, we hypothesized that different triad structures provide undergraduates with varying resources (e.g., information, advice, psychosocial support) from the postgraduates and/or faculty, which would affect the undergraduates’ research outcomes. To test this, we collected data from a national sample of undergraduate life science researchers about their mentoring triad structure and a range of outcomes associated with research experiences, such as perceived gains in their abilities to think and work like scientists, science identity, and intentions to enroll in a PhD program. Undergraduates mentored by postgraduates alone reported positive outcomes, indicating that postgraduates can be effective mentors. However, undergraduates who interacted directly with faculty realized greater outcomes, suggesting that faculty interaction is important for undergraduates to realize the full benefits of research. The “closed triad,” in which undergraduates, postgraduates, and faculty all interact directly, appeared to be uniquely beneficial; these undergraduates reported the highest gains in thinking and working like a scientist.

Objective: To observe the patterns and disorders of menstruation among physiotherapy undergraduates in Lahore city. Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted at Riphah International University, Lahore from January 2020 to June 2020 after obtaining ethical approval. The data was collected through convenience sampling technique from two hundred physiotherapy undergraduate students by using anonymous questionnaire containing questions related to menstrual pattern, associated symptoms and heaviness of day wise bleeding. Informed consent was taken from all participants before data collection. Data was entered and analyzed on SPSS 21. Results: Menarche was found among 60% of undergraduates between the age of 13 and 14 and 24% of undergraduates between the ages of 15 and 17. A total of 71% of undergraduates had a regular menstruation cycle while 23% had irregular periods. 71% of undergraduates had a menstrual cycle of range between 21-28 days, 17% had irregular cycles, and 14% did not know how to go their menstrual duration. Most undergraduates have Bleeding for up to 1 week, with standard, medium, and restrained Bleeding. In 72% of undergraduates exploiting contains lumps, though 28.5% undergraduates do not experience exploiting. Because of their menses, 29% of undergraduates were incompetent to join university. 24% of undergraduates take leave from university because of painful menstruation whereas 9% take leave from university because of extreme blood flow. Dysmenorrhea signs were prevalent. Menses had a massive influence on societal lives and performances primarily on undergraduates. Conclusion: Dysmenorrhea and regular indiscretions were communal and mostly undergraduate’s responsiveness to menstruation signs was scarce. In its outcomes, there is entail for a teaching based program on menarche and menstrual issues. Keywords: Menarche, Dysmenorrhea, Undergraduates

Financial literacy is becoming increasingly important not only for investors but also for individual in planning his or her day to day budget. Hence, recent development in financial education has highlighted the increasingly important to be financial healthy. Hence, the objectives of this study are (i) to investigate the level of UUM undergraduates’ in financial literacy and (ii) to assess UUM undergraduates’ preferable method in learning financial education. Questionnaires were distributed to 400 undergraduate in UUM, age ranging 20 to 28 years old in 2017. The finding of this study revealed that female have a better saving knowledge compare to male respondents. Furthermore, this study concluded that first year undergraduate’s saving knowledge is slightly better. Meanwhile, final year undergraduates are better in spending and budgeting knowledge. Besides, business programme undergraduate showcase a good financial literacy knowledge. This study also find that preference method in learning financial knowledge are website / internet / online followed by workshop / seminar / talks / conferences and finally social network / social media. Meanwhile, preferable personal financial topic that undergraduate would like to enroll and learn are budget planning or expenses management, followed by debt management and lastly about insurance.

We present an exploratory study of how undergraduates' involvement in research influences postgraduates (i.e., graduate and postdoctoral researchers) and faculty. We used a qualitative approach to examine the relationships among undergraduates, postgraduates, and the faculty head in a research group. In this group, undergraduates viewed postgraduates as more approachable than the faculty head both literally and figuratively. Mentorship by postgraduates presented unique challenges for undergraduates, including unrealistic expectations and varying abilities to mentor. The postgraduates and faculty head concurred that undergraduates contributed to the group's success and served as a source of frustration. Postgraduates appreciated the opportunity to observe multiple approaches to mentoring as they saw the faculty head and other postgraduates interact with undergraduates. The faculty head viewed undergraduate research as important for propagating the research community and for gaining insights into undergraduates and their postgraduate mentors. These results highlight how the involvement of undergraduates and postgraduates in research can limit and enhance the research experiences of members of the undergraduate–postgraduate–faculty triad. A number of tensions emerge that we hypothesize are intrinsic to undergraduate research experiences at research universities. Future studies can focus on determining the generalizability of these findings to other groups and disciplines.

At present, the curriculum and training objectives of Chinese undergraduates pay less attention to the cultivation of their literature reading ability. More attention is paid to the study of textbook knowledge. This paper has studied the importance of literature reading ability for undergraduates, graduates and employees and the status quo of undergraduate education in China. This paper has also proposed measures to improve the literature reading ability of undergraduates by setting up literature reading training classes for undergraduates, adding literature reading links after specialized courses and offering paper writing courses. The improvement of the literature reading ability of undergraduates will have a positive impact on their future. Keywords: Literature reading ability, training classes, undergraduate education.

Purpose This study aims to compare similarities and differences in library and information science (LIS) and non-LIS undergraduates’ conceptions and perceptions of smart libraries via drawing analysis. Design/methodology/approach In this study, a total of 156 undergraduate students described their perceptions of smart libraries as drawings and textual descriptions. A modified coding scheme with 8 categories and 51 subcategories was used to analyse the undergraduate students’ drawings. Findings Most of the undergraduate students’ conceptions of smart libraries still involve self-checkout and learning/reading, focusing on information appliances, technical services, activities and objects. The differences are that the LIS undergraduates’ drawings showed smart libraries with robots, interactive book borrowing with technology tools, intelligent services, location-aware services or mobile applications, whereas non-LIS undergraduates presented smart libraries as readers (learners), other activities and no smart technology services. LIS undergraduates focused on providing patron services with technologies. Non-LIS undergraduates were more likely to draw a complex space with immediate access to books or digital resources, quiet reading and the freedom to engage in library activities. Originality/value The results provide a baseline for future research on the topic and provide preliminary evidence of using the methods to discern LIS and non-LIS undergraduates’ conceptions of smart libraries.

Despite the increasing popularity of faculty-undergraduate research, a dearth of research has investigated factors that predict the professional outcomes of these collaborations. We sought to address this gap by examining a wide range of institutional (e.g., institution type, selectivity, course load) and faculty variables (e.g., rank, years of experience, enjoyment of mentoring) potentially related to coauthored undergraduate publication and conference presentation in psychology. Negative binomial regressions were used to analyze online survey data from 244 faculty members from both graduate-serving institutions (i.e., doctoral, master’s) and primarily undergraduate institutions. The results showed that, after controlling for overall research productivity, faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions were more likely to publish journal articles with undergraduates, whereas faculty at graduate-serving institutions were more likely to coauthor conference presentations with undergraduates. Institutions with higher selectivity, more support for faculty-undergraduate research, and lower course loads produced higher numbers of undergraduate publications. Faculty characteristics were even more strongly related to undergraduate research outcomes. Specifically, publication was most likely with faculty who are of higher rank, have more years of experience, spend more time on research, foster close collaborative relationships with undergraduates, and/or perceive their students as high quality and well trained. By contrast, conference presentation was most likely with faculty who work with more undergraduate students on more projects per year and/or who enjoying mentoring undergraduates. Our findings suggest ways that institutions can facilitate undergraduate publication, which we argue is an increasingly common and achievable outcome.

This study examines socio-psychological factors as determinants to information-seeking behaviour of LIS undergraduates in Kwara state. A descriptive survey method was adopted. A questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The total population for the study is 2392. From which the sample size of 333 was selected using Raosoft size calculator. The study revealed that most of LIS undergraduate have fear during information searching process. The study also revealed that LIS undergraduates are of opinions that having access to the internet improves their ability to search for information. It was also found out that most of LIS undergraduates were helped with internet to have access to various sources of information simultaneously. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between computer/internet and information-seeking behaviour of LIS undergraduates in Kwara state. This research recommends that LIS undergraduate should improve confidence in the use of internet/computer to seek information with ease and LIS undergraduate should develop a mechanism for self-confidence while seeking for information

This study compared Korean working adults' participation in drinking parties with work colleagues, with Korean undergraduates' participation in drinking parties with fellow students, to examine if being employed versus being an undergraduate had effects on alcohol consumption. Findings showed that working adults had lower levels of self-efficacy in their drinking-party participation than did undergraduates, and that working adults were less positive about their decision not to join drinking parties than were undergraduates. These findings may imply a generation difference between working adults and undergraduates and also social influence reflected in the Korean workplace culture.

We describe two exercises using undergraduates from abnormal psychology courses to act as role-play clients for graduate counselor–trainees. The first exercise involves mock counseling sessions; the second is a mock case conference. We grade graduates on their counseling and case-conceptualization skills. Undergraduates participate as ungraded volunteers. We believe that graduate students benefit from the challenge and honest feedback that undergraduate role players provide. Undergraduates reported academic benefits and increased empathy for the characters they played. The exercises seem to be educationally beneficial and may also help decrease undergraduates' negative stereotyping of persons with psychological problems.

Abstract This teacher education self-study examined music teacher and music teacher educator development through the formal and informal interactions of undergraduate and doctoral students designed to facilitate community. Research questions included: (a) how do undergraduate students describe their interactions with music education PhD students; (b) how do music education PhD students describe their interactions with music education undergraduate students; and (c) how can the researchers change their practices to better meet the needs of the undergraduate students? Data included: a questionnaire from sophomore, junior and senior undergraduate students (N = 34); PhD student journals; a teacher education faculty journal; 12 undergraduate student interviews; an undergraduate student focus group; and six "self study" team focus group meetings. Findings suggest that: (a) interactions were positive but it was sometimes difficult to navigate the interactions; (b) undergraduates specifically value the stories of recent teaching experience that the PhD students can provide; and (c) undergraduates seem to change their views of the PhD students as they (the undergraduates) mature as teachers. Other findings address development of the PhD students as teacher educators. Suggestions for teacher education and research conclude the paper.

The study completes the compilation of the questionnaire on Chinese undergraduates’ moral values from six moral values dimensions: honesty and compliance, civility and self-discipline, love, unity and be helpful, esteem and filial respect. The questionnaire has 31 questions in all, taking advantage of Likert scale. Using this scale, its alpha reliability reach 0.887 with clear internal structure. The validity is well and the model fitting index accords with statistical measurement, which covers the shortage of empirical study on Chinese undergraduate students’ moral values. The measurement, which focused undergraduate moral values, is compiled by a total of 768 valid samples from 6 colleges. Measurement results show that there are sequences of orientation on Chinese undergraduates’ moral values approval, and the order is: Honesty and compliance, civility and discipline, filial respect unity and be helpful, love and esteem; while gender differences do exist. The male undergraduates’ identity level of honesty and compliance, civility and self-discipline, love, and filial respect ranks higher than that of female undergraduates; however, the differences, between male and female undergraduates, on unity and being helpful, as well as esteem are not significant.

Abstract Objective To assess the effect of the change from the 5-year system of coursework to a 4-year system on the achievements of medical laboratory undergraduates. Methods We analyzed and then compared the topics of training and the test scores among all subject individuals in the 5-year vs the 4-year undergraduate program. Results Five-year-program undergraduates and 4-year-program undergraduates were required to complete 50 courses. The average weekly education time in the 4-year program (27.05 lesson-hours/week) was greater than that in the 5-year program (22.99 lesson-hours/week). The proportion of clinical practice in the hospital setting in the 4-year program (26.8%) was higher than that in the 5-year program (24.5%). The average, excellent, and good scores among 4-year-program undergraduates in general education courses, professional basic courses, professional courses, all courses, and common courses were lower than those scores among the 5-year-program undergraduates. Conclusions The 5-year undergraduate program should be adapted to help boost the achievements and practical skills among its students, in helping them adapt quickly to the new, 4-year training plan (which presented a serious challenge in our cohort).

Undergraduates often perceive neuroscience to be a challenging discipline. As the scope of neuroscience continues to expand, it is important to provide undergraduates with sufficient opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills with the aim of encouraging the future generation of basic and clinical neuroscientists. Through our experience of developing the National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition (NUNC), we have accrued an extensive volume of performance data and subjective insight into the delivery of undergraduate neuroanatomy education, which has the potential to inform how to better engage students within this field. More broadly, our group has implemented a technology enhanced learning platform alongside a peer-assisted teaching program. These achieve the dual purpose of compensating for the reduction in dedicated neuroanatomy teaching hours and encouraging undergraduates to develop an interest in the neurosciences. Here, we consider how improving the learning experience at an undergraduate level encourages further engagement in the neurosciences and the importance of this within the wider neuroscience community.

This incident provided an opportunity to conduct an observational study with the goal of measuring the academic effort of business undergraduate and graduate students. The observation methodology utilized total enrollment of 3804 with an undergraduate enrollment of 3298 and a graduate enrollment of 506 for the spring term of 2011 which included 969 undergraduates and 276 graduates. A stratified random sampling was used to collect enrollment data according to 8 disciplines within the business college. Findings of this study suggest graduate students outperform undergraduate students in grade improvement. In fact, the eligibility rate and successful rate for obtaining a higher grade after taking a final examination for both undergraduates and graduates were statistically insignificant. However, the participation rate for taking the final examination between undergraduates and graduates was statistically different.</p>

The social media platform is extremely popular among undergraduate students. Along with the increase in social media usage, phenomena such as the fear of missing out are also becoming more prevalent among this group. It is hypothesized that excessive usage of social media contributes to the psychological decline of undergraduate students. This study aimed to examine the relationship between social media usage and the fear of missing out among undergraduate students. In addition, this study also examined the level of social media usage and the fear of missing out. The study adopted a quantitative approach, specifically a correlational research design. Data were collected from 306 undergraduates at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia using the social networking time use scale and fear of missing out (FOMO) scale instruments to measure social media usage and fear of missing out, respectively. Descriptive analysis revealed that undergraduates have a moderate level of social media usage and a moderate level of fear of missing out. Meanwhile, the inferential analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between the usage of social media and the level of fear of missing out among undergraduates. In conclusion, the study results indicate that social media usage does influence the fear of missing out among undergraduates, although the coefficient was weak.

Undergraduate research is an experience that cultivates creative and intentional learners in and out of the classroom. Using unique data from an online survey of faculty members at three diverse colleges and universities, we investigate the individual and institutional factors that facilitate or inhibit faculty members’ willingness to provide undergraduates with research opportunities. We focus our analysis on individual and institutional explanations for faculty participation or non-participation as a research mentor to one or more undergraduates. We examine the influence of demographic (e.g., gender, race, tenure status, discipline) and institutional characteristics (e.g., type of institution, perceived institutional supports) to statistically model the likelihood that faculty members had previously mentored undergraduates in independent research projects. We draw upon these findings to discuss implications for institutions desiring to increase student (and therefore faculty) undergraduate research experience.

In this paper, we define flip teaching as a curricular platform that uses various strategies, tools, and pedagogies to engage learners in self-directed learning outside the classroom before face-to-face meetings with teachers in the classroom. With this understanding, we adopted flip teaching in the design and enactment of one Year 1 and one Year 2 undergraduate chemistry laboratory session at a higher education institution. The undergraduates viewed videos demonstrating the practical procedures and answered pre-laboratory questions posted on the institution's mobile device application before the laboratory lessons. Analyses of the lesson videos, interviews with the undergraduates and instructors, and undergraduate artefacts showed that the undergraduates had developed a better understanding of the theory undergirding the procedures before they performed the practical, and were able to decipher the complex practical procedures. They also experienced less anxiety about the complex practical steps and setup, and subsequently, improved work efficiency. The findings of this study have implications for chemistry educators looking for ways to improve on the design and enactment of the laboratory curriculum to enhance the undergraduates' self-directed learning.

Aim and Objectives: This study aimed to note the dental students perception of challenges faced by them administering first dental injection in patients when they were undergraduates and the need to introduce simulator training for dental injections for undergraduates. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 dental students participated in the study. The study was conducted in national accredited A+ dental college of India, where the participants were presently pursuing postgraduation. The participants had completed their undergraduate programs from different dental colleges of India. The participants were provided with a validated structured questionnaire to note the challenges they faced when administering their first dental injection in patients when they were undergraduates if they had undergone any dental injection simulator training in dental colleges where they had completed their undergraduate program and the need of simulator training for dental injections. The data were collected and statistically analyzed. Results: During the administration of the first dental injection on patients, 82.5% of students were anxious. Students (100%) had not undergone any training for dental injections on simulators as undergraduates. Majority (85.8%) of students agreed that there is a need to introduce an inferior alveolar nerve block simulator for dental undergraduates. Conclusion: First dental injection in patients is associated with high anxiety levels in dental students. Mastering the skill of local anesthesia administration requires practice and time. Hence, the majority of the students agreed that including simulators for dental injections, especially for technically demanding blocks such as inferior alveolar nerve blocks at the undergraduate level, will make them less anxious and more confident.

BackgroundMore breastfeeding interventions targeting female and male undergraduates before they become parents are needed to foster accurate breastfeeding knowledge, positive attitudes toward breastfeeding, and a greater intent to breastfeed. This study aimed to assess the impact of completing a lactation elective course on undergraduates' breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and intention.MethodsPre- and postcourse surveys were administered to 96 undergraduates from various majors enrolled in a lactation elective.ResultsFrom pre- to postcourse, this study found significant increases in undergraduates' breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and intent.ConclusionsBecause most undergraduates in the United States become parents only after graduation, universities have an opportunity to foster the knowledge and attitudes needed to breastfeed successfully. As breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes in men and women are strong predictors of breastfeeding intent, initiation, and duration, offering undergraduate lactation elective courses is a promising strategy to improve future parents' breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and intention, helping to normalize breastfeeding and improve breastfeeding rates.

This study uses a qualitative phenomenological study to explore the experiences of final-year nursing undergraduates pursuing their Management Module Practicum in the Surgical Ward of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Two focus group discussions with eight participants were conducted using semi-structured questions. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was performed using ATLAS.ti version 8 software. Eight reflective writing submissions were analysed for data triangulation. Two primary themes emerged in the analysis: the undergraduates’ emotions before clinical placement and their adaptability to their new roles, responsibilities and environment. Results show that the undergraduates faced difficulties at their initial placement stage. Further understanding of their emotions and adaptability can facilitate the undergraduates’ clinical learning.

Google Classroom allows teachers to spend more time with their students and less time on the paperwork, and it is now even better. This study assessed the Undergraduates’ Perceived Ease of Use and perceived usefulness of Google Classroom for Learning and the influence of gender on their perception. This research was a descriptive research method of the survey type. The population of this study was all undergraduates in Kwara state. Students were randomly selected from each of the faculties listed to bring the total number of samples to 400. Percentage, mean, and t-test were used for the analysis. The findings established that Undergraduates have a positive perception of the ease of use of Google Classroom for learning with a grand mean score of 3.50; Undergraduates have a positive perception of the usefulness of Google Classroom for learning with a grand mean score of 3.39; There was no significant difference between male and female Undergraduate Students Perceived the Ease of Use of Google Classroom for Learning and There was no significant difference between male and female Undergraduate Students’ Perceived Usefulness of Google Classroom for Learning. The study concluded that undergraduates have a positive perception of the ease of use and usefulness of Google Classroom for learning. This implies that if Google Classroom is adopted in our schools, there will be a tremendous improvement in the academic performance of undergraduates irrespective of their gender and specializations. It was however recommended that the educational authorities and the school system should encourage the use of Google Classroom for learning.

Purpose Multiple research studies show a positive correlation between library usage and student retention. At the same time, no formal research studies focusing on the effect of library usage on LGBT student persistence and retention exist. The purpose of this paper is to provide information about today’s LGBT undergraduates, their personal and academic needs, and how academic libraries may meet those needs. Design/methodology/approach The author will challenge the grand narrative perpetuated by LGBT librarians that “libraries save [LGBT] lives” through a review of existing research literature on LGBT undergraduates and their personal and academic needs, where libraries play a role in LGBT undergraduate life, and whether or not academic libraries actually meet those needs. Findings No formal research studies on how libraries play a role in the retention of LGBT undergraduates exist. While LGBT undergraduates share many similarities with their peers, they seek out resources and spaces that the library may be able to provide independently or through collaborations with other units on campus. The existence of campus LGBT resource centers may impact LGBT undergraduate use of libraries. Practical implications The author will provide suggestions for academic libraries to create appropriate resources, services, and spaces for LGBT undergraduates so that they persist at their institutions and graduate. Originality/value This is the first research paper to address the role that academic libraries play in LGBT student retention.

Abstract Introduction The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) Standard 7.3 for the initial education and training of pharmacists1 states student pharmacists and trainee pharmacists must have access to pharmacy professionals to provide professional support and guidance by acting as role models and mentors. Four mentoring programmes exist for Brighton University undergraduates, available virtually in addition to external mentoring programmes, such as Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) mentoring programme. Chang et al2 studied RPS mentoring participants and found previous positive experiences inspired participants to participate in their programme. This work investigates 2021/2022 final year Brighton University pharmacy undergraduate mentoring experience. Aim To survey final year pharmacy undergraduates’ mentorship experience. Methods An online survey consisting of 5-point Likert-scale statements and closed-ended questions, was designed, piloted, and distributed using the JISC online survey platform to final year Brighton University pharmacy undergraduates. Data collected included awareness of mentorship programmes, whether undergraduates had previous mentorship experience, and attitudes towards mentoring using 12 Likert-scale statements each for respondents who were mentors, mentees, and those with no mentoring experience. The data were quantitively analysed using Microsoft Excel version 16.58 and the JISC online survey platform. The 5-point Likert Scale questions were analysed by calculating a weighted average. Ethics approval was received from the Brighton University School of Applied Sciences Research Ethics Committee. Results 48 undergraduates completed the survey. 13 (27%) had previous experience mentoring. This sample was comprised of 8 undergraduates with mentor experience and 10 undergraduates with mentee experience. Four undergraduates had both mentor and mentee experience. In total, 63% (n=39) respondents were aware of the University’s mentoring programmes, 32 (60%) were aware of external mentoring programmes available with 45% (n=24) citing the RPS mentoring programme. A total of 75% (n=6) mentors and 70% (n=7) mentees reported that mentoring aided their professional development. All (n=8) undergraduates who were mentors and 80% (n=8) mentees reported that this was a beneficial experience. Three quarters (n=6) of those who were a mentor and 60% (n=6) who were mentees reported that this improved their employability skills. The main challenge found by mentors and mentees was the amount of time needed to undertake these roles. 16 (46%) undergraduates with no mentoring experience agreed that participating in a mentoring programme would be too much time and effort, 28 (80%) would prefer if their mentor/mentee was from or following the same professional background as them and 20 (57%) agreed they would consider signing up for a mentorship programme if offered to them. Discussion/Conclusion Limitations included a low response, but results obtained were sufficient to highlight issues. Although most undergraduates were found to be aware of benefits of a mentorship programme, these should be promoted further, with realism around time mentoring takes, and opportunities scoped to incorporate time for mentoring in undergraduates’ timetables. Many undergraduates still lack mentoring experience and are not aware of mentoring programmes. Establishing mentoring arrangements within the final year with trainee pharmacists could be a mechanism to address the undergraduate’s preference of mentoring arrangements with the same professional background.

Under the background of population aging, the development of pension industry urgently needs colleges and universities to cultivate highlevel elderly service management talents. In this paper, 513 nursing undergraduates were investigated with self-made questionnaire. The results showed that the overall willingness of nursing undergraduates to engage in elderly service management was not high, and there was a significant difference in the willingness of nursing undergraduates with different demographic characteristics (P < 0.05). On the basis of in-depth analysis of influencing factors, the article holds that we should actively promote the cultivation of senior service management personnel at undergraduate level by guiding students to establish a sense of honor, enhancing their professional cognition of pension service, and reasonably positioning the training objectives to adapt to the professional development of nursing undergraduates.

One of the greatest challenges to undergraduate social work education is helping students embrace social work values and develop professional identity. As undergraduates, students are at a developmental stage where the process of identity formation is crucial. This study explores the possibility of enhancing traditional teaching methods with computer-mediated mentoring. A section of graduate students in a second-year practice class mentored a section of undergraduates in a beginning practice class in a semester-long e-mail communication. Following the mentoring experience, the undergraduates demonstrated a measurably greater identification with social work values, marking a significant change in professional identity that was not matched by comparison groups. Those aspects of the mentoring experience that seemed most important to the undergraduates are reported and suggestions for replicating such a project are provided.

Integrating rare books into the undergraduate curriculum has been a challenging enterprise for many of us. Not too long ago undergraduates were distinctly unwelcome in many university special collections, which were considered to be the preserve of senior professors and researchers. Graduate students were carefully vetted and lucky to be admitted. But such exclusivity has become a thing of the past almost everywhere, and we are now working hard to engage both undergraduates and their instructors in making use of our collections. In the first article in this issue, Pablo Alvarez discusses several approaches to using rare books in undergraduate . . .

Behavioural economics have become hot topic in research and debate in last few decades. In the context of behavioural economics, it is possible to summarize resemblances and create a system based on predication and regularities of errors, by analysing consumer’s behaviour, which allows to solve issues of future process development. In paper “Applying behavioural economics in education: study of undergraduate practices of selecting educational institutions” the authors identify key factors which influence undergraduates to choose higher education institution. The purpose of this paper is therefore to identify key elements of the behavioural economics that can be used to influence undergraduate selection development in favour of higher education institution. Additionally, within the framework of the study are applied insights of behaviour economics, which help guidance general understanding of undergraduate decision making. Particularly focusing on heuristics, that undergraduates are using to ease the complexity of decision making, which can lead to systematic errors and bias. This study per se synopsizes the definite findings of developing behavioural economics, which allows to apply this knowledge to study undergraduate choice in selecting higher educational institution. In this study were used numerous methods, including literature review, interviews with representatives of higher education and behavioural economics experts and surveying undergraduates.

The Dept. of Agricultural Sciences currently offers degrees at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Undergraduate programs in Plant Science, Animal Science, and Rural Development were consolidated within the Dept. of Agricultural Sciences in the late 1980s due to the declining number of graduates. However, no personnel turnover or course changes occurred due to consolidation. Enrollment at the undergraduate level has doubled within the past 5 years. Student enrollment for Fall 1995 included 127 undergraduates and 31 graduate students. Graduation figures projected for 1995–96 include 26 undergraduates and 8 graduate students. Horticulture and Agronomy are now two of the concentrations available for the BS degree in Agricultural Sciences, and Plant Science is an option for the MS degree in Agricultural Sciences. Presently in the plant sciences there are approximately 30 undergraduates and 20 MS students. Faculty and professional staff affiliated with the Cooperative Agricultural Research Program are encouraged to submit teaching proposals to the 1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants Program, a USDA-funded competitive program for the agricultural sciences. Awards enable grantee institutions to attract more minority students into the agricultural sciences, expand institutional linkages, and strengthen education in targeted need areas. The Grants Program supports teaching projects related to curricula design, materials development, and faculty and student enhancement. Current teaching grants address graduate and undergraduate education in molecular biology and undergraduate education in soil sciences.

Humanistic quality refers to the research ability, knowledge level of the humanities, and the human inner quality of the humanities. The purpose of this paper was to make a research on the cultivation of humanistic literacy of nursing undergraduates in the context of the Internet era. This paper first makes a general introduction of the classification of the Internet and the definition of humanistic literacy, analyzes the results of two rounds of expert consultation method, and then obtains the current situation of nursing undergraduates through the questionnaire survey of school nursing undergraduates. The experimental results showed that in the current survey situation, the expert support rate of humanistic care is as high as 90%, indicating that humanistic care is especially important for a nursing undergraduate. The total score of humanistic nursing ability of undergraduate nursing students was 127.03, which is in the middle level higher than that of most domestic studies, but lower than that of American nursing students.

The aim of current paper is to investigate the relationships between academic performance, self-esteem, perceived social support and perceived stress among the undergraduates in both Malaysian public and private universities. Research data is gathered from a sample of 144 of undergraduates from public and private universities in Malaysia. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is employed to examine the influences of academic performance, self-esteem, perceived social support and perceived stress among the undergraduates. The results demonstrate that self-esteem and perceived social support are viewed as potential predictors of perceived stress among undergraduates. However, there is no significant relationship between academic performance and perceived stress. Future researchers are suggested to conduct similar researches in qualitative or experimental setting in order to minimize personal bias in a longitudinal design. Current paper provides new in-depth and practical implications to all parties to pay attention in efforts to improve undergraduate’s well-being and achievement in their tertiary education stage. This paper offers new insight into the predicting factors of perceived stress among undergraduates in Malaysian context.

The utilization of information resources holds significant importance in the realm of undergraduate education. However, undergraduates often encounter diverse challenges when it comes to accessing and effectively utilizing these resources. This study aims to investigate the specific challenges faced by undergraduates in their usage of information resources, focusing on the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Library as a pertinent case study. The study seeks to discern the types of information resources commonly employed by undergraduates, identify the obstacles they encounter in the process of accessing and utilizing these resources, and explore potential strategies to overcome these challenges. In pursuit of these research objectives, a total of 150 questionnaires were disseminated to a carefully selected sample of undergraduate students from the aforementioned university. The questionnaires served as the primary instrument for data collection. The obtained results shed light on various noteworthy aspects. Notably, a significant majority of undergraduate students (86%) reported visiting the library weekly. However, it was found that only a comparatively smaller proportion (36%) of students indicated frequent utilization of electronic resources, such as e-books and online journals. The most prevalent challenges included inadequate availability of resources (52%), poor Internet connectivity (46%), limited proficiency in information literacy skills (38%), and restricted access to relevant materials (34%). These findings underscore the need to address these challenges to facilitate enhanced access to and utilization of information resources among undergraduate students. In conclusion, by examining the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Library as a case study, the study provides valuable insights on how to mitigate the challenges observed such as providing Improved Library Resources and Better Internet Connectivity utilized by undergraduates.

Background: Anatomy is the most fundamental subject in undergraduate medical education and the curriculum is changing progressively for better outcomes for undergraduates. Clinical integration in learning Anatomy has been highlighted in the current curriculum. Therefore, analysis of the performance of the medical undergraduates on problem-based questions and traditional clinical objective questions on Regional Anatomy may provide an understanding of the recent teaching-learning-assessment trends in this subject and this type of research would help the teachers and curriculum planners to improve the teaching-learning-assessment pattern of Anatomy. Objective: To assess the ability of the medical undergraduates of Bangladesh to answer problem-based objective questions compared to traditional clinical objective written questions in Regional Anatomy. Methods: A total of 166 new third-year medical undergraduates participated in this research. Among them, eighty-three undergraduates participated to answer one hundred problem-based objective written questions and another eighty-three undergraduates participated to answer one hundred traditional clinical objective written questions in Regional Anatomy. The performance of the undergraduates was compared by the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The performances of the medical undergraduates answering problem-based objective written questions were significantly poorer than those answering traditional clinical objective written questions. Conclusion: The result has shown that the performances of the medical undergraduates regarding problem-based objective questions are poorer than traditional clinical ones, most likely because they are not accustomed to the problem-based question, though it is the guideline of the curriculum. For better learning and assessment methods, the integration of problem-based questions is highly recommended in Regional Anatomy. Mediscope 2023;10(2): 78-88

Nowadays, a declining interest in psychiatry as well in the professional arena is seen. This attitude is significant for Interns and an important study phase of medical UGs for extreme care of psychiatric patients. The aim was to study and compare the attitude of undergraduate students and medical interns towards psychiatry. It was a cross-sectional study done at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Thandalam, Chennai, where a comparison between medical interns and undergraduate students weremade. The study sample consisted of about 100 interns and 200 medical undergraduates who gave their consent for this study. The Attitude towards psychiatry (ATP) questionnaire consisting of 30 questions was given and from the data collected, the mean scores were calculated and analyzed using the Student t-test by SPSS version20. The medical undergraduates exhibited a more positive attitude towards psychiatry than interns (P-value estimated was 0.001). However, only 15% of interns and 7% of medical undergraduates strongly agreed and wanted to pursue psychiatry as their profession. Interns showing negative attitude in psychiatry may be due to strange stereotypic remarks made by peers, existing stigma towards psychiatry, less clinical rotations and less hours of teaching during the undergraduate days.

Abstract Objectives To determine the effectiveness of a comprehensive professional development model (CPDM) adapted for virtual instruction in its ability to improve self-efficacy related to food literacy and development of remote food literacy education. Methods Undergraduate students (n = 12) from two universities participate in a yearlong CPDM. In the first semester, undergraduates attend weekly meetings focused on online learning platforms; building community of practice; reviewing learning models, theories, and pedagogy; and building skills to support social and emotional learning. Undergraduates participate in reflective practice throughout the CPDM to advance their teaching skills. In the second semester, undergraduates develop online modules supporting remote instruction for the learner-centered curriculum Teens CAN: Comprehensive Food Literacy in Cooking, Agriculture, and Nutrition. Undergraduates develop virtual lesson procedures and content to be pilot tested with the community of practice. Results Upon project conclusion, undergraduates will complete a retrospective questionnaire measuring self-efficacy to teach nutrition. They will also participate in an in-depth interview that mirrors the reflective practice, where they reflect on what they gained and wished to change for future CPDM projects. Conclusions In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, utilizing strategies from in-person CPDMs in virtual professional development may provide an efficient, effective, and equitable methodology to connect with undergraduate students and improve their self-efficacy to teach while providing training and skills. This virtual methodology may serve two purposes; decreasing attrition in participation by removing barriers such as travel and scheduling, but also enhancing the delivery of nutrition education through utilization of modern technology. Limitations of remote instruction are numerous, but providing opportunities for undergraduates to develop skills in online education has the potential to broaden the reach of health-focused programming delivered by agencies with limited staff during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the important mechanisms in cancer cell metastasis is the cellular function of a specific cell type called myofibroblast cells. Myofibroblast cells are unique cell types that play an important role in the cancer cell microenvironment. As a step toward integrating the latest peer-reviewed cancer research findings into a general biology remote learning setting, we developed an innovative guest speaker talk to engage first-year undergraduates to develop a prediction on tumor microenvironment. In our article, we describe integrated remote approaches using Jamboard and reflective mentoring to validate and reflect on undergraduate team responses within an inclusive and equitable framework. These teaching and mentoring strategies provide a framework for senior undergraduates to be transformative role model scholars that inspire the next generation of Latinx and Native American undergraduates in important topics related to health and environment and the process of science for general biology undergraduates.

This study determined the utilization of e-resources for learning among undergraduates. The study adopted descriptive research of the survey type. The population for this study consists of all National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) undergraduates. Proportional sampling techniques were used to allocate many respondents in each NOUN centre based on their estimated population using Israel Model. The instrument for data collection was an adapted questionnaire. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were used to answer the research question and test the stated hypotheses with the aid of statistical product and service solution (SPSS) version 20.0 at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings indicated that undergraduate students had positive utilization of E-resources for learning. No significant difference exists in the undergraduate students’ utilization of E-resources for learning based on gender and digital age. The study concluded that learning can be enhanced among undergraduate students if appropriate resources are deployed for learning. Therefore, it was recommended that undergraduate students be encouraged to deploy e-resources for learning irrespective of their gender.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to highlight undergraduates as an emergent student–scholar author group and to encourage institutions to take a future-oriented view, focusing greater attention to and support of undergraduate’s publishing. Design/methodology/approach – Highlighting benefits derived from undergraduate research (UR) experiences and publishing taken from the literature and experienced through local practice (Providence College), presenting pedagogical models for transforming students into independent thinkers (students as scholars) and responding to business and non-profit leader graduate skills requests of higher education, this paper argues for the need to cultivate graduate attributes (requisite 21st century workforce skills, abilities and behaviors), especially graduate demonstrated articulation and communication (publication) skills and abilities. Findings – The conclusions drawn in this paper align with the literatures’ support of derived benefits from UR experiences and its completion through articulation and communication (publication). Final remarks reiterate that critical thinking, complex problem-solving and communication (publication) skills and abilities demonstrate graduate agency and preparedness for meeting 21st century challenges. Originality/value – This paper layers several pedagogical engagement-based teacher–learner models, highlights benefits of undergraduates’ completing the research process through communication (publication) and underscores the importance of cultivating 21st century graduate agency.

Nutritional supplements are products intended to make up for a poor diet or to support our health in the same way that nutritious food will perform. This study investigated (i) influence of ginger as a nutritional supplement on sexual performance among male Undergraduates, University of Ilorin (ii) influence of watermelon as a nutritional supplement on sexual performance among male Undergraduates, University of Ilorin (iii) influence of banana as nutritional supplement on sexual performance among male Undergraduates, University of Ilorin. A descriptive research design of survey type was employed for this study. The population consists of all male undergraduates in University of Ilorin. A multistage sampling technique was used for the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select four hundred and twenty seven (427) respondents for the study. Researcher’s designed structured questionnaire which was validated by four experts from the Department of Health Promotion and Environmental Health Education; University of Ilorin was used for data collection. A correlation co-efficient of .82r was obtained through test retest method using Pearson Product Moment Correlation .Data collection was conducted by the researcher and four trained research assistants. The three postulated null hypotheses were tested using the inferential statistics of chi-square @0.05 alpha level. The findings from this study reveal that; ginger as a nutritional supplement significantly influences sexual performance of male undergraduate with the calculated chi-square (ᵪ2) value of 311.010 is greater than the table chi-square (ᵪ2) value of 16.92 at the freedom (df) 9 @ 0.05 alpha level; Watermelon as a nutritional supplement significantly influences sexual performance of male undergraduate with the calculated chi-square (ᵪ2) value of 543.013 is greater than the table chi-square (ᵪ2) value of 21.03 at the freedom (df) 12 @ 0.05 alpha level and Banana as a nutritional supplement significantly influences sexual performance of male undergraduate in University of Ilorin with the calculated chi-square (ᵪ2) value of 629.021 is greater than the table chi-square (ᵪ2) value of 25.00 at the freedom (df) 15 @ 0.05 alpha level. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that ginger, watermelon and banana as a nutritional supplement influenced sexual performance among undergraduates, University of Ilorin. Therefore, it was recommended that male undergraduate students should be encouraged on the consumption of ginger which will serve a body building stimulant and increases the production of sperm motility, regular intake of watermelon which serves as hormone regulator and inhibitor to sexual performance should be taking more often among male undergraduate and knowledge of the consumption of banana intake as a treatment of intestinal disorders and erectile dysfunction should be intensified among male undergraduate students.

Background: The consumption of various types of fast food is increasingly germinating in all components of the world, each in developed and developing countries.Methods: A cross sectional study was done to explore the perception and knowledge regarding fast food consumption from March 2019 to June 2019 amongst the 300 undergraduate students within the ages of 18 to 20 of three established private colleges of different disciplines in Pune. Paperless data was collected by a predesigned, pretested questionnaire with the help of google forms and statistical analysis was done.Results: The prevalence of consumption of fast food was found to be maximum in the undergraduates belonging to the high-income group (socio-economic class I). Around 85% of the undergraduates consumed fast foods and out of 85% nearly 17% consumed once a day. The undergraduates from all disciplines were also perceived as fast food consumption is measure of one’s socio-economic status, 76% for medical and the lowest for engineering undergraduates (55%). A significant difference between medical, engineering and architecture undergraduates was reported regarding the perception that fast food consumption has no harmful effect on body (40, 26 and 57, p<0.001). About 37% of the students had very poor knowledge, 40% of the students had poor knowledge,13% had average and only 10% had good knowledge regarding fast food consumption leading to non-communicable diseases.Conclusions: The consequences of this study propose that a requirement for health education programs that stimulate healthy eating habits and lifestyle for undergraduate college students.

The ability of self-compassion and Confucian coping to predict anxiety and depression were examined in impoverished Chinese undergraduate students. Three hundred and thirty impoverished undergraduates completed measures of self-compassion, Confucian coping, depression, and anxiety. Results showed that higher self-compassion predicted lower depression and anxiety in impoverished undergraduates. Higher pro-setback thinking and responsibility thinking of Confucian coping were related with lower depression and anxiety. Higher fate thinking of Confucian coping was related with higher depression and anxiety. The predictive ability for depression and anxiety of self-compassion combined with fate thinking was better than self-compassion alone. Intervention to enhance self-compassion and reduce fate thinking may be beneficial to mental health in impoverished undergraduates.

Despite the social threats and devastating consequences of indecent dressing on students, female undergraduates in Universities in Anambra State still indulge in it without cognizance of acceptable dressing ethics. In view of the dangers it portends, this study examined body image and self-esteem as culpable factors which predispose undergraduates to indecent dressing. Using correlation research design for the study, two research questions were posed whereas two hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. In the method section, we utilized multi-stage sampling technique to manage the 21,532 population female undergraduates in Universities in Anambra State. After sample reduction, a sample of 1,250 female undergraduate students was selected from two public universities in Anambra State. During the survey, opinion of the female undergraduates was elicited using Body Image and Self-Esteem Questionnaire (BISEQ) and Indecent Dressing Scale (IDS). Reliability of both instruments was determined using Cronbach Alpha method and alpha coefficients of 0.71 and 0.69 were obtained for BISEQ and IDS respectively. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation for answering research questions and Regression statistical analysis for testing the hypotheses. The results indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between body image and indecent dressing among undergraduate students in universities in Anambra State. There is a positive and significant relationship between self-esteem and indecent dressing among undergraduate students in universities in Anambra State. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that policies should be made and implemented against indecent dressing in universities.
