Item Restricted Investigating the Effects of Augmented Reality and Interactive Technologies on Learning and Engagement in Preschool Education(University of Dayton, 2024-05-03) Alnfisah, Moneera; Adams, ShaunaIn this qualitative study, we examined the effects of augmented reality (AR) and physical-digital interaction in educational applications on preschoolers' engagement, skill development, and collaborative learning in the classroom. Drawing on Creswell's (2018) systematic method, the research design included immersive participant observation and semi-structured interviews to document the lived experiences of young learners using the Osmo Genius Kit. The study, conducted across three varied preschool classrooms affiliated with a Midwestern university, included a representative sample of children aged 3 to 5 years, allowing for a thorough examination of AR's complex influence in early childhood education. This methodology allows us to address the research questions and gain a thorough grasp of how AR technology can be used to improve education in preschool settings.46 0Item Restricted Knowledge of Molar Incisor Hypomineralization among Physicians and Dentists(Saudi Digital Library, 2023) Ghazal, Ebtehal; Kulkarni, GajananObjectives: To assess the knowledge of physicians and dentists on Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) and its association with antibiotic exposure during early childhood. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was utilized. The study was electronically advertised through professional organizations with a hyperlink provided to the questionnaire. Chi-square test was used to compare differences in levels of knowledge between the study groups. Results: There were 335 participants in the study; general physicians (n=79), pediatricians (n=98) and dentists (n=158). A significantly lower proportion of general physicians (19%) and pediatricians (18%) had knowledge of molar incisor hypomineralization compared to dentists (82%, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the association between antibiotics prescribed during the first years of life and MIH development (P=0.07). Conclusions: Physicians lacked knowledge about the MIH dental condition. Most study respondents did not know the potential association between MIH and frequent antibiotic intake during early childhood.47 0
