Abstract:

It is generally acknowledged that the college/university foundation programme, often instituted as a one-year course of instruction, plays a crucial role in preparing students for graduation to their various academic departments, which are usually located within the same educational institution. Foundation studies programmes in Oman are delivered to cater for the disciplinary, and almost invariably the closely related academic English language needs of the academic departments in addition to the requisite basic computer literacy and mathematical skills. The present study sought to evaluate two

Abstract:

Critical thinking is a key feature of the organizational cultures of higher education institutions, given its multiple impacts on graduates’ academic, professional and personal levels. Thus, most of these higher education institutions in the Arab Gulf region state in their strategic plans, implicitly and explicitly, objectives related to enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. Despite the apparent prevalence of such objectives, the concept of critical thinking (CT) is hardly taught in higher education institutions in the Arab Gulf region for different reasons. One of these reasons is tha

Abstract:

Centromeres are defined epigenetically in the majority of eukaryotes by the presence of chromatin containing the centromeric histone H3 variant CENP‐A. Most species have a single gene encoding a centromeric histone variant whereas C. elegans has two: HCP‐3 (also known as CeCENP‐A) and CPAR‐1. Prior RNAi replacement experiments showed that HCP‐3 is the functionally dominant isoform, consistent with CPAR‐1 not being detectable in embryos. GFP::CPAR‐1 is loaded onto meiotic chromosomes in diakinesis and is enriched on bivalents until meiosis I. Here we show that GFP::CPAR‐1 signal loss from chrom

Abstract:

Background: Choosing a medical specialization is a crucial, career-defining decision for medical students and junior doctors. Objectives: This study aimed to identify variables impacting junior postgraduate doctors' and medical students' choice of specialty in Oman. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) and the Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) in Muscat, Oman. A two-part, self-administered questionnaire was electronically distributed to 247 respondents of different positions and levels of education, including doctors enrolled in the General Foundat

Abstract:

This study aims to develop and test the validity of a module on enhancing students' collaboration, critical thinking (2Cs) and writing skills. To develop the module, the researcher used ADDIE model which incorporates five primary phases, namely Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. The study used a tryout group which incorporated 20 participants who studied English at The General Foundation Program at a private college in Oman. The study employed a pretest-posttest quasiexperimental design. Paired Samples t-Test was used to compare the mean scores of both tests. Apropos

Abstract:

Introduction The exhibition of an artist’s work is traditionally accepted as representing the final stage of the creative process (Staniszewski). This article asks, however, whether this traditional view can be reassessed so that the curatorial practice of mounting an exhibition becomes, itself, a creative outcome feeding into work that may still be in progress, and that simultaneously operates as a learning and teaching tool. To provide a preliminary examination of the issue, we use a single case study approach, taking an example of practice currently used at an Australian university. In this
