Research projects & supervision summary
Unlearn Vocabulary - Understanding the Language of Anatomy (UVULA) (Helen Ritchie, Elizabeth Hegedus, Hongzhi Yang) Learning anatomy is challenging for many students, especially as it involves learning complicated medicoanatomical language. This cross-faculty project aims to develop a series of workshops to introduce students to different vocabulary learning strategies and to provide opportunities for students to develop their own resources based on their individual learning needs.
Using Jigsaw and Team-Based Learning to teach neuroanatomy (Jin Huang, Elizabeth Hegedus, Helen Ritchie) Using the Jigsaw method of team-based learning to reduce 'neurophobia' in Neuroscience students.
Relationship between the time allowed for multiple choice questions and test performance. (Jin Huang, Peter Knight, Helen Ritchie, Elizabeth Hegedus) Stress is known to affect student performance in assessments. This project aims to examine the effect of differing time limits/question on student stress and their academic performance in quizzes.
Turning a virtual skeleton into a 'radiograph' (proposed Honours project; Elizabeth Hegedus, Helen Ritchie) This project aims to develop an asynchronous online learning tool, in the form of computer-based 3D visualisations of the skeleton, using an Artec 3D scanner and gaming software.
What is feedback anyway? Student perceptions of electronic feedback pre- and post-COVID19 (Elizabeth Hegedus, Helen Ritchie) This project aims to define what students consider feedback to be; and evaluate the relation between students’ expectations and perception of quality feedback, particularly electronic feedback, in ‘pre-COVID19’ and ‘post-COVID19’ cohorts.
