The relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience in healthcare practitioners and students
BACKGROUND: Healthcare practitioners operate in high-pressure environments characterized by complex interpersonal dynamics, making emotional intelligence (EI) and resilience critical competencies. This meta-analysis systematically examines the association between EI and resilience among healthcare practitioners and explores potential moderating factors. METHODS: A comprehensive search of six databases (ERIC, Web of Science, Medline, PsycINFO, Pub…
Training climate matters
BACKGROUND: Medical trainee mistreatment remains a widespread challenge in graduate medical education, contributing to burnout, depression, and workforce attrition. Graduate medical education programs have sought to create safer learning environments by fostering programmatic openness-climates perceived as transparent, welcoming, and supportive. Yet it remains unclear how such programmatic conditions interact with individual experiences of belong…

However, such economic‐environmental synergies remain unclear, posing challenges to sustainable urban development. This study, using panel data from China's Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration (2006–2020), introduces the fixed effect panel regression model, mediati…
‘I don’t know what I don’t know’
INTRODUCTION: Self-assessment (SA), a crucial psychological process in education, involves learners judging whether they meet their own identified standards. SA is a multi-dimensional construct shaped by various factors, including individual, contextual, and cultural influences. This cross-sectional study aims to explore how medical students develop and enact SA across training stages within an East Asian educational context, with particular atte…
‘I too can be a good physician who still makes mistakes’
PURPOSE: Medical mistakes evoke intense emotions among trainees and are often framed through shame and distress. This study explores how medical students respond emotionally to clinical mistakes and how they regulate those emotions through reflective writing after hearing health professionals share stories of error. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study analyzing reflective essays from 21 medical students following a panel on clin…
Preferences of health professions learners
While discrete choice experiments (DCE), have increasingly been used in the medical literature, little is known about the use of these methods for eliciting preferences from and about students and trainees in health professions. The objectives of this scoping review are to (1) describe the extent to which DCEs have been used in health professions' education, (2) identify which health professionals have been studied, and (3) identify thematic area…
Responding to Contextual Change
Medical education is situated within dynamic, multilayered ecosystems that are continuously shaped by sociopolitical forces, institutional structures, and evolving learner identities. In this commentary, the authors apply ecological theories of system to synthesize this year’s Research in Medical Education articles, highlighting how contextual change reverberates across multiple levels of the medical education system, shaping identity, emotion, b…
Rethinking peer‐assisted learning in clinical education
Peer‐assisted learning boosts clinical reasoning but needs structured support. Here Zheng comments on Ruczynski et al's work, detailing how we must balance psychological safety with peer accountability, shared regulation, and reflective feedback
Fellows and medical students as tutors
BACKGROUNDS: Clinical reasoning (CR) is a foundational ability for medical students, requiring the integration of analytical and non-analytical (intuitive) approaches. While expert performing clinicians often struggle to articulate their CR, near-peer teaching (NPT) offers a promising approach to facilitate CR development. This study explores how NPT supports beginning medical students in learning CR through small group discussions. METHODS: This…
The spatial linkage mechanism
Introduction: The global spread of the COVID-19 has brought about global changes, especially in terms of economic growth. Therefore, it has become a global issue to explore the impact of public health security on the economy. Methods: Employing a dynamic spatial Durbin model, this study analyzes the spatial linkage mechanism of medical level, public health security, and economic climate in 19 countries as well as investigates the relationship bet…
Strategies to support self-regulated learning in integrated, student-centered curricula
PURPOSE: With undergraduate medical education shifting to an integrated, student-centered approach, self-regulated learning (SRL) skills are critical for student success. Educational research holds that learning strategy effectiveness is context dependent. Our study aims to explore what strategies medical students use to support SRL when engaged in the specific context of an integrated, student-centered curriculum. APPROACH: This study took place…
A Soil Moisture Prediction Model, Based on Depth and Water Balance Equation
Soil moisture plays an important role in ecology, hydrology, agriculture and climate change. This study proposes a soil moisture prediction model, based on the depth and water balance equation, which integrates the water balance equation with the seasonal ARIMA model, and introduces the depth parameter to consider the soil moisture at different depths. The experimental results showed that the model proposed in this study was able to provide a hig…
From self-regulation to co-regulation
This study's findings suggest the important role of co-regulation in supporting self-regulation, especially in online collaborative-learning environments. Learners' self-regulation skills are shaped by their social interactions and regulatory activities with others. This further implies that health-professions educators and instructional designers should create learning activities that facilitate the development of co-regulatory skills, as a mean…
Achievement Emotions of Medical Students
The results of this study suggest that achievement emotions experienced by medical students had a significant impact on their online self-regulated learning and burnout. Specifically, the experience of learning-related boredom was detrimental to the adoption of self-regulated learning strategies and increased the likelihood of burnout. However, learning-related anxiety, despite being a negative achievement emotion, was positively associated with …
The impact of learner-, instructor-, and course-level factors on online learning
Recent Contributions of Data Mining to Language Learning Research
This paper will review the role of data mining in research on second language learning. Following a general introduction to the topic, three areas of data mining research will be summarized—clustering techniques, text-mining, and social network analysis—with examples from both the broader field and studies conducted by the authors. The application of data mining in second language learning research is relatively new, and more theoretical and empi…
Self-regulated learning in a competency-based and flipped learning environment
Background : The transition from a traditional lecture-based curriculum to a competency-based curriculum poses significant challenges to both students and faculty in medical schools, especially when the curriculum is implemented in a flipped learning environment. Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been proven to be beneficial for competency-based learning and flipped classroom learning, but medical educators cannot expect our entering medical stud…
Learning in One-to-One Laptop Environments
Over the past decade, the number of one-to-one laptop programs in schools has steadily increased. Despite the growth of such programs, there is little consensus about whether they contribute to improved educational outcomes. This article reviews 65 journal articles and 31 doctoral dissertations published from January 2001 to May 2015 to examine the effect of one-to-one laptop programs on teaching and learning in K–12 schools. A meta-analysis of 1…
Cloud‐Based Collaborative Writing and the Common Core Standards
The Common Core State Standards emphasize the integration of technology skills into English Language Arts ( ELA ) instruction, recognizing the demand for technology‐based literacy skills to be college‐ and career‐ ready. This study aims to examine how collaborative cloud‐based writing is used in in a Colorado school district, where one‐to‐one computer access with netbooks and open source software is provided to all students. Specifically, this pa…
