Summary: This study investigated the innate surgical ability of 142 third-year veterinary undergraduate students to perform simulated orthopedic surgical tasks and explored whether specific factors influenced their ability. The results showed individual differences in innate ability, with previous experience in manual tasks and using drills associated with better performance in one of the tasks. Other factors such as age, gender, handedness, and desire for a surgical career did not significantly affect student performance.

Summary: Bedside teaching is a crucial element in medical education, and our study investigated the influence of teacher and structural characteristics on its perceived quality. We found that the intrinsic motivation of the teachers was positively correlated with quality, while experience had a weaker correlation. Among the structural characteristics, the number of patients and the proportion of time spent on clinical examination were significantly associated with the quality dimension of clinical teaching.

Summary: This study aims to understand the teaching and learning practices in practical classes of Computer Network Technology courses by using the Physical Laboratory as an epistemic tool to enhance learning. The results show that under certain conditions, both students and teachers use the physical laboratory as an epistemic tool, as evidenced by the physical interactions. Additionally, the study finds that the mediation patterns adopted by teachers have an impact on students' epistemic practices and the use of the laboratory. The findings highlight the importance of reducing control over students' actions and orchestrating the mediation patterns to achieve beneficial results in student learning with the use of physical laboratory artifacts.
