Summary: This research comprehensively analyzes students' Chemistry Learning Experience (CLE) during the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing online learning experiences with traditional face-to-face instruction in the post-pandemic phase. The study finds that students have a better grasp of and attitude toward chemistry in face-to-face settings. There are also gender-based patterns in CLE, with male students expressing a more favorable view of online learning during the pandemic. The research advocates for a blended learning approach and highlights the importance of gender-specific learning experiences.

Summary: The mechanisms underlying prospective entrustment decision making by entrustment or clinical competency committees are not well understood. This study conducted a realist synthesis of the literature to identify what works in making defensible prospective entrustment decisions, for whom, and under what circumstances. The findings suggest that decision making is often driven by default, and the trustworthiness of trainees and the sufficiency of data about their performance influence the decision making process. Additionally, factors such as personal knowledge and experience with trainees and the structure and processes of the committees also play a role in the decision making process.

Summary: Using the Behaviour Change Wheel framework, this qualitative study investigates the barriers and facilitators to teacher delivery of the Talk About Alcohol programme in UK secondary schools. The study identifies key enablers such as increased knowledge, confidence, and effective resource design, as well as barriers such as social pressure and the need for further training on complex issues. The findings suggest strategies for improvement, including follow-up training, notifications of new updates, training highlighting past successes, and action planning. This evaluation demonstrates the applicability of the BCW approach in improving teacher implementation in educational research.

Summary: Institutional ethnography is an approach to studying social organizations that aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationships between institutions. While it is gaining interest in health sciences research, its use in health professions education is limited. This paper serves as an introduction to the use of institutional ethnography in health profession scholarship and education, highlighting the differences and common pitfalls compared to traditional ethnographies.

Summary: Engineering students' inclusive professional engineering identities (IPEIs) have the potential to change over time, with intervention experiences playing a significant role in this process. Factors such as gender and students' levels of engineering identity also contribute to the development of IPEIs. Investigating these factors and further enhancing the positive cultivation of students' IPEIs is crucial for promoting diversity within engineering and fostering a more inclusive engineering culture.

Summary: There is a lack of formalized education on Radiation Oncology (RO) for preclinical medical students in the United States, and there are barriers to implementing it in undergraduate medical education curriculum. This study proposes a novel approach to introducing RO to second-year medical students by incorporating relevant content from the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1. The study found that students' performance on radiation side effect questions significantly improved after attending the lecture. Providing evidence of the inclusion of RO topics on the USMLE Step 1 curriculum was a powerful motivating factor in implementing the education.
