Despite the widespread utilization of the mass media in HIV/AIDS prevention, little is known about the knowledge gap that results from disparities in mass media use. This study examined the relationship between HIV/AIDS-related mass media use and HIV/AIDS-related knowledge among urban and rural residents of northwestern Ethiopia. A hierarchical regression analysis indicated that HIV/AIDS-related mass media use has both sequestering and ...

© 2018 Human Kinetics, Inc. Purpose: We conducted a retroactive analysis of teacher and student data from two randomized group trials and one wellcontrolled quasi-experimental group trial focused on improving pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and student performance. Method: Seven teachers and 32 classes were investigated. PCK was measured using four variables: task selection, representation, adaption, and an aggregate variable called total ...

German pre-service teacher education aims to foster the concurrent formation of content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge. Accordingly, the coordination, sequencing, and prioritization of learning opportunities for the three areas of professional knowledge represent vital issues of the organization of teacher education at German universities. In this context, reanalyzing selected data of a previous experiment, ...

This research analyses preservice teachers' knowledge of fractions. Fractions are notoriously difficult for students to learn and for teachers to teach. Previous studies suggest that student learning of fractions may be limited by teacher understanding of fractions. If so, teacher education has a key role in solving the problem. We first reviewed literature regarding students' knowledge of fractions. We did so because assessments of required ...

The research aim is to develop and apply the conceptual inter-organizational knowledge transfer effectiveness (IOKTE) model to the inter-organizational transfer of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) related knowledge between public sector organizations in Flanders. The model assumes a relationship between an individual’s ability to make PPP-related decisions and the extent to which knowledge is sought after, applied and shared in an inter-organi- ...

Shulman (1986) proposed three kinds of knowledge that effective teachers should master: content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). There have been quite a number of studies focusing on CK and PCK in the domain of mathematics [4], [1], [17], however, little is known about language teachers’ PCK and CK in teaching the target language. In this article, we present a conceptualization of PCK and CK of ...

Background: There is no validated tool to assess patients' knowledge of oral anticoagulant therapy in atrial fibrillation in China. Methods: Using a standard translation program, the Jessa Atrial fibrillation Knowledge Questionnaire (JAKQ) was translated into Chinese. The reliability of the JAKQ was assessed by internal consistency (Cronbach's a coefficient), repeatability (test-retest reliability), and sensitivity tests. Effectiveness was ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a new questionnaire, the Jessa Atrial fibrillation Knowledge Questionnaire (JAKQ), to test the knowledge of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) about the arrhythmia, its treatment and their ability for self-management. Methods: The JAKQ was developed based on other questionnaires, two educational checklists and patient information support websites. The JAKQ was validated based on ...
