“…Within this context, it can be deducted that course designs which were developed and supported by visuals and theoretical information have a positive effect on pre-service teachers' knowledge levels about planning a curriculum-based field trip. These results of the research are compatible with a research in the literature which reveals that enriched elective course content makes contributions to students' knowledge levels (Cole et. al., 2016).…”

“…Considering these results, it can be stated that in addition to in-class implementations, out-of-class implementations should be carried out so that pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs about planning a curriculum-based field trip are at the highest level, because out-of-class implementations provide an opportunity for pre-service teachers to implement theoretical knowledge only and there self-efficacy was lower than the two other experimental groups. The findings of this research seem to concur with studies which indicated that enriching elective course content and using student-centred teaching methods promote students' interest and awareness of the course (Cole et. al., 2016) and develop their self-confidence positively (Gauthier, Sherman, & Unger, 2015;Hefferan, Heywood & Ritter, 2002).…”

This research examined the effect of a course designed with different content on pre-service science teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and knowledge about organizing curriculum-based trips. A pre-test post-test quasi experimental design was used in the research. One-hundred and thirty pre-service science teachers participated in the research. The research was carried out within the context of an elective course called “Informal Learning Environments in Science Education” and was conducted over 14 weeks in total for two hours per week. The research data were obtained by means of a questionnaire, self–efficacy scale for designing curriculum-based field trips (CFTSES) and semi-structured focus-group interviews. As a result of the research, it was found that the course content which included in-class and out-of-school setting practices in the 3rd group was the most effective. This was followed by the 2nd group which included only in-class implementations. The first group which was supported with visuals and theoretical related presented information was the group which was the least effected. The results of the research revealed that pre-service science teachers had mainly different concerns about safety, but that this did not deter them, as they still continued to design curriculum-based field trips for learners. Keywords: elective course, field trip, knowledge level, pre-service teachers, self-efficacy.

“…The course by Cole et al used a variety of teaching modalities, including lectures, videos, and tabletop and hands-on simulation exercises. The subject matter included biological and chemical terrorism, disaster management, mechanisms of injury, and psychiatry [45]. Pfenninger and coworkers developed a course that consisted of 14 modules and that was composed of 2-h units.…”

Background: Disasters are devastating incidents, especially when occurring suddenly and causing damage, great loss of life, or suffering. Disasters can affect health and the social and economic development of a nation. The article analyzes the knowledge (K), attitude (A), and readiness to practice (rP) of healthcare professional students in universities in Pakistan. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study using a pretested and validated self-administered disaster medicine and preparedness questionnaire. The study recruited 310 students. Responses were scored and categorized as high (75th quartile), moderate (75-25th quartiles), and low (25th quartile). Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and regression analyses were performed at an alpha level of 0.05. Results: The study found that most of the students had moderate knowledge, attitude, readiness to practice, and total KArP scores. All K, A, and rP scores were significantly correlated with overall KArP scores. Knowledge and attitude factors were significant predictors of readiness to practice. Conclusions: We strongly believe that educators and health policymakers should build a strong curriculum in disaster medicine management and preparedness to prepare competent future healthcare professionals for the nation.

Background: A Mass Casualty Incident response (MCI) full scale exercise (FSEx) assures MCI first responder (FR) competencies. Simulation and serious gaming platforms (Simulation) have been considered to achieve and maintain FR competencies. The translational science (TS) T0 question was asked: how can FRs achieve similar MCI competencies as a FSEx through the use of MCI simulation exercises? Methods: T1 stage (Scoping Review): PRISMA-ScR was conducted to develop statements for the T2 stage modified Delphi (mD) study. 1320 reference titles and abstracts were reviewed with 215 full articles progressing for full review leading to 97 undergoing data extraction. T2 stage (mD study): Selected experts were presented with 27 statements derived from T1 data with instruction to rank each statement on a 7-point linear numeric scale, where 1 = disagree and 7 = agree. Consensus amongst experts was defined as a standard deviation ≤ 1.0. Results: After 3 mD rounds, 19 statements attained consensus and 8 did not attain consensus. Conclusions: MCI simulation exercises can be developed to achieve similar competencies as FSEx by incorporating the 19 statements that attained consensus through the TS stages of a scoping review (T1) and mD study (T2), and continuing to T3 implementation, and then T4 evaluation stages.
