Flourishing through adventure learning: A (semi)cautionary tale

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies suggest that adventure learning can develop children's cognitive skills and promote social and emotional learning. However, evidence is needed as to whether the design of adventure learning—school‐based or external/residential—plays a role in that development/promotion, and whether learning gains are maintained.

Innovation in the Face of Necessity: A Mixed‐Method Study of Student's Experience From an Anatomy Education Program Focused on a Near‐Peer Tutoring Module

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following institutional changes that reduced access to cadaveric dissection, Paris‐Saclay University developed a two‐year elective anatomy pathway serving as a longitudinal progression toward near‐peer tutoring (NPT). Designed as a complement to the core curriculum, the program preserves engagement with human dissection while promoting ...

Reconsideration of the So‐Called “Someya's Sinew String”: An Anatomical Structure or a Postoperative Scar?

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The so‐called Someya's sinew string is a linear structure observed in the buccal mucosa distal to the mandibular second molar and is primarily recognized in Japanese prosthodontic practice. Although previous studies have described its prevalence and clinical importance, particularly during impression procedures for removable prostheses, its ...
