13898. Faculty selection and use of active learning techniques in didactic courses of medical laboratory... (53:48)

Date:

Main contributors:
Spinda, Barbara
Summary:
This study utilized a survey, interviews, and artifact analysis to investigate faculty selection, use, and evaluation of active learning techniques in the didactic classroom of university-based Medical Laboratory Science programs. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that faculty favor active learning techniques that offer an interactive or collaborative learning model, encourage student engagement, and require application of knowledge. Faculty believe the use of active learning supports student learning, promotes engagement, increases motivation, embeds long-term knowledge, and improves soft skills. Despite recognizing the benefits, faculty also reported challenges related to time constraints, resource availability, and support from colleagues and administrators. Overall, while active learning presents certain complexities and challenges, faculty incorporate it across all content areas of Medical Laboratory Science education. The insights from this study highlight the significance of active learning in the classroom and aims to spark awareness, encourage dialogue, foster collaboration, and stimulate further research and publications on this pedagogical approach.

13899. Extensions to Embedding Regression: Models for Context-Specific Description and Inference (54:32)

Main contributors:
Spirling, Arthur
Summary:
Social scientists commonly seek to make statements about how word use varies over circumstances—including time, partisan identity, or some other document-level covariate. For example, researchers might wish to know how Republicans and Democrats diverge in their understanding of the term “immigration.” Building on the success of pretrained language models, we introduce the a la carte on text (conText) embedding regression model for this purpose. This fast and simple method produces valid vector representations of how words are used—and thus what words “mean”—in different contexts. We show that it outperforms slower, more complicated alternatives and works well even with very few documents. The model also allows for hypothesis testing and statements about statistical significance. We also provide extensions of the model to non-English languages and demonstrate applications for the same.
