“…The IEPS is a validated quantitative metric which is comprised of 18 items that are measured using a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). The IEPS has exhibited acceptable internal consistency (α = 0.87) and test/re-test reliability [46]. In order to score the IEPS, the ratings obtained for each individual item are totaled with higher scores indicating increased positive perceptions and understanding of their own profession in relation to others.…”

Establishing interprofessional identity is critical in preparing health care teams to work in collaborative environments and enhance efficacy of patient care. Accreditation standards for health profession programs have been implemented to include interprofessional education (IPE), yet there remains obfuscation regarding occupational therapy’s (OT) professional identity. The purpose of this prospective pre-post test study was to assess an experiential IPE event for health profession students (n = 170 from ten health profession programs) to: (1) determine the effectiveness of role playing and team-based case discussions on students’ knowledge and perceptions toward each other’s professions, and (2) specifically assess the impact of the IPE event on students’ perceptions toward OT roles and responsibilities. Health profession students were asked to complete a survey prior to and at the conclusion of the IPE event, which included the validated Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) and non-standardized closed and open-ended questions. Quantitative analysis of responses showed a significant improvement in interdisciplinary perceptions after the experience as evidenced by higher IEPS scores. Post-test open-ended responses confirmed this finding. Health profession programs were stratified, revealing positive significant differences regarding OT. These findings suggest role-playing and team-based case discussions for IPE can have a positive impact on students’ interprofessional perceptions and understanding of OT.

Students, industry, and departments of civil engineering are engaging interdisciplinary learning techniques to promote sustainability and meet the urgent requirements of human development. However, only a few pieces of literature discussed the learning efficiency and educational feedback of this trend. This may be resulted from the difficulty in estimating subjective engagement. Hence, this study surveyed 173 data from 6 departments that provided interdisciplinary courses based on three dimensional trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and Likert scale. The questionnaire factors were modified from the useful and common scales in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Existing studies tend to estimate students' learning efficiency based on the hybrid approach of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods. However, the meaning of variables may be changed in the PCA's procedures of axis transformation. Hence, a new fuzzy DEA-Mahalanobis distance approach was proposed to solve this problem. Based on the student gains in the sustainability courses, three groups were clustered and compared. Feedback for students was suggested to improve learning strategies. The sensitivity analysis showed that ''effective teaching practice'' and ''learning from other open courses or YouTube'' are key factors in increasing learning efficiency in the sustainability courses for civil engineering students. Therefore, this paper provided a useful and easy approach to improve learning strategies for civil engineering students in sustainability education.

The civil engineering educators focused on implementing interdisciplinary learning in artificial intelligence (AI) based on a more innovative application of construction requirements. However, only a few pieces of literature discussed the educational learning efficiency and feedback for this trend. Hence, this study surveyed the 237 data from eight universities that issued the interdisciplinary courses. The factors were modified from the scales in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. Further, the descriptive analysis was used to explain this situation in Taiwan. A novel approach based on data envelopment analysis and Mahalanobis distance approaches was proposed to solve this problem. The advantages of the proposed approach were discussed and compared with traditional method. Based on the student gains in the interdisciplinary courses, three groups were clustered and compared. The feedback of a high-input and low-efficiency student group was suggested for improving learning strategies. The sensitivity analysis of this special group showed that effective teaching practice is the key factor in the artificial intelligence courses for civil engineering students. These students may increase technical efficiency by 37% by paying 21% inputs. Therefore, this paper provided a useful and easy approach to make learning strategies for non-informatics students in AI learning.
