Read More Introduction: Peer-assisted learning has been shown to be an effective teaching and learning method. However, this technique has not been proven in Thai medical school. We aimed to comparethe effectiveness of peer-assisted learning and self-study in interpreting an electrocardiogram in Thai medical students.Methods: This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial, conducted in Chonburi teaching hospital, a community hospital affiliated with Chulalongkorn University. All medical students from the fourth and fifth years, a total of eighty students, were randomly assigned to two groups of peer-assisted learning (PAL) and self-study (SS) via stratified randomization done by computer-generated randomization. The two groups were matched for sex and grade point average. In the PAL group,teaching was performed by the fourth and fifth year medical students. We conducted five weekly study sessions. Different topics of electrocardiogram interpretation were assigned to tutors for teaching. SS group would separately study the same topic on their own. Constructed response questions were used to assess the students at the beginning as a pre-test and after a five-weeksession as a post-test. Online self-assessment was delivered to students one month after the study.Results: Mean pre-test and post-test score was put into the analysis and compared across groups using t-test. No significant difference in pre-test score was observed between the two groups in the same academic year. There was a significant difference between the mean post-test score between the fourth year PAL and SS groups. Also, the mean difference score in the fourth year PAL group was higher than the fourth year SS group. However, in the fifth year group, there was no significant difference between the PAL and SS groups in the mean post-test score and mean difference score. Conclusion: In conclusion, peer-assisted learning is an interesting method to improve understanding and interpreting skills of basic ECG better than self-study in the early clinical year medical students.

Read More Introduction: Capability is built upon knowledge and wisdom, and scientific progress and development is associated with wealth production, national and international authority, andindependence. To promote scientific development, as a prerequisite to the country’s progress in other areas, there is a need for strategic planning and creating scientific capacities. Today’s world is facinga rapid growth and development in science and technology, and universities and higher education centers have an important role in the society’s development and progress in the areas of humanresources training, science and technology production, and solving different problems. Considering the Iran’s health scientific road map and communication of innovation and reform plans, andsince universities are required to identify the areas of authority, this study was conducted to determine the challenges of scientific authority promotion and proper courses of action.Methods: In this study, content analysis was used as a qualitative research method. The triangulation method was applied for data collection. Purposive sampling was done to select the participantsfor focused group discussion and data collection continued until data saturation was achieved. The participants were 19 higher education experts and MOHME policymakers. The ATLAS.ti software version 5.2 was used for analysis of data.Results: The results of the analysis of transcripts obtained from FGD with higher education experts and MOHME policymakers showed 4 themes, 10 categories and 43 sub-categories. The resultingthemes included: “Experienced perceptions of scientific authority”, “Requirements of scientific authority”, “Challenges of scientific authority”, and “Strategies for promoting scientific authority”. Conclusion: Universities and governmental sectors do not represent all the capacities, and there are much more capacities that can be exploited with participation of different sectors and institutions, especially inter-sectoral and inter-university collaborations. Many advances in new sciences have occurred in interdisciplinary majors, and these collaborations help to take solid steps towards scientific authority.
