Purpose: This study was to develop the clinical competency evaluation, and to examine the effects of the developed evaluation by comparing it with existing evaluation on clinical competency, communication skill, and self-efficacy of nursing students. Methods: Design was a randomized control group post-test design. The subjects were 102 senior nursing students(Experimental group: 48, Control group: 54) at K university in seoul, Korea. The experimental group took the clinical competency evaluation using standardized patients and the control group took the existing evaluation using a doll. The clinical competency and communication skills were measured by evaluators, and self-efficacy was self reported by the nursing students. Results: The experimental group had higher scores in clinical competency, communication skills, and self-efficacy than those in the control group. Conclusion: Through these results, practice education of nursing education programs need to activate the clinical competency evaluation using standardized patients.

This study set off to explore the effect of interactive videos on developing mind mappings skills required for the common first-joint year students at Umm Al-Qura University. Towards this end, the experimental research design of a quasi-experimental of two experimental groups was adopted. The research tools consisted of an achievement test of the cognitive aspects of mind mapping skills and a product evaluation form of mind mapping skills. Results showed statistically significant differences at the significance level (α 0.05) between the mean scores of the two experimental groups who studied the educational video regardless of the type of video in the pre-post cognitive test of the mind mapping skills and the form of product evaluation. Besides, there are statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05≥α) between the mean scores of the first experimental group who studied the conventional educational video and the mean scores of the second experimental group who studied the interactive educational video. This significant difference was in the posttest of mind mapping skills and in favor of the group who studied the interactive educational video. Nevertheless, there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05≥α) between the mean scores of the first and second experimental groups in the post-application of the product evaluation form of mind mapping skills. The researcher recommended using the interactive video in teaching courses to common first-year students. It also recommends organizing courses for the faculty members to train them on using interactive videos in their teaching.

The objective of this study was to experimentally investigate the structural behavior of steel plate concrete walls with vertical ribs (SSC walls), to compare the experimental results with the currently applied evaluation equations, and to obtain information that would be useful in the development of design equations for SSC walls. SSC test specimens that were subjected to in plane shear forces and bending moments were fabricated and tested. The experimental results show that the effect of vertical ribs on the structural behavior of SSC walls may be neglected, and that the confinement effect of concrete on the steel plates on both sides of the walls was negligible. The comparison of the experimental results with the evaluation equations showed that the structural behavior of SSC walls under shear control is close to that of the evaluation equations, but that the behavior of SSC walls under larger bending moments is not very close to that of the evaluation equations. The current evaluation equations for USC walls may be applied to the design of SSC walls because the structural walls of nuclear power plants are not subjected to large in plane bending moments.

In network-based control system, measurement and control information is delivered by the network messages. Therefore, the performance of control system is directly affected by the performance of network system. System engineers need to evaluate the performance of network system to maintain the entire system in stable condition. BACnet is an international standard data communication protocol especially designed for building automation and control systems. In this study, experimental performance evaluation methodologies of BACnet MS/TP protocol and their practical evaluation results are presented.

To restore an earthquake damaged community as quickly as possible, well-prepared reconstruction strategy is most essential. This paper reports experimental data on the seismic capacity of diagonal reinforced HPFRCC coupling beams with the Japanese Standard for Seismic Evaluation of Existing RC Buildings. Precast Based on the experimental results, HPFRCC specimen have more residual seismic capacity than RC specimen, but much study is necessary to improve the accuracy of the damage evaluation.

This study presents the alternative evaluation technique for the high-rise building structural system. The alternative evaluation of the structural system is performed in three steps, that is, preliminary evaluation, main evaluation and detailed evaluation. The evaluation categories are composed of structural performance, economic feasibility and term of work. Each categories are composed of detailed items to evaluate of its own. In preliminary evaluation, qualitative evaluation based on experimental knowledge is performed. In main and detailed evaluations, quantitative evaluations based on numeric data are performed. The weighted-sum method is applied to integrate the evaluated results of each items and its importance. The applicability of the proposed method was verified by applying it to the practical buildings and simulate the procedures.

In this study, a questionnaire was compiled by conducting interviews and preliminary surveys, and then handed out to a total of 270 welders working in shipyards to investigate their opinions on welding clothes. By which investigation, it was intended to understand their dissatisfactions and issues with conventional welding clothes and then propose of such welding clothes as may offer better fit and suitability. A total of twenty welding suits were collected to find the locations and degrees of wear and tear. Due to too large differences in the locations and degrees of wear and tear among the clothes, the evaluation was focused on ten suits out of the twenty suits collected. The researcher’s subjective judgment was used to select the nineteen most severely damaged parts, which were then photographed in a uniform distance and evaluated by a group of experts in terms of the degree of damage in order to locate most severely damaged parts and select adequate materials for those parts in designing an experimental suit. Based on two above evaluations, the experimental welding suit was produced in consideration of the design, materials and patterns. A lab evaluation and a site evaluation were conducted to compare the experimental suit and other conventional suits, a lab evaluation and a field evaluation were performed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify effects of self-evaluation using smartphone recording on competency in nursing skills, satisfaction and learning motivations in nursing students'. The setting was the open laboratory hours. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre/post-test design was conducted in September 2015. The participants were 82 sophomore nursing students from one University. The experimental group did self-evaluation by watching recorded video clips of their performance. The control group did not have any self-evaluation. The primary outcomes were scores from the foley catheterization checklist, scores from a student satisfaction tool, and scores from a learning motivation tool. Data were analyzed using ${\chi}^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, independent t-test, and paired t-test. Results: There was a significant higher mean score in levels of satisfaction by students in the experimental group compared to the control group (t=2.26, p=.027). In addition, improvement in communication skills by the experimental group was significantly higher than improvement in the control group (t=3.96, p<.001). Conclusion: Findings show that self-evaluation using smartphone recordings has positive effects on increasing both communication skills and satisfaction with practice during open laboratory hours. These results indicate that, self-evaluation using smartphone recording is useful as a supplement to traditional open laboratory education.
