Semantic profiling in South African medical rescue education.

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

Brief description of the contribution:
In this study the semantic codes of medical rescue-related subjects were profiled to evaluate knowledge building over time. Theory and practice co-exist within the Bachelor of Emergency Medical Care with each having a particular strength through which knowledge building could be analysed. The emergent wave pattern suggests the presence of segmentalism in knowledge building in medical rescue education. The segmentalism found may constrain transference of knowledge across core subjects. The pattern also suggests incoherence in structure and poor articulation of design of the medical rescue curricula. The Semantic code profile of the Physics and Extrication subject guides units of study reveals that waving occurs over time as the units of study is not covered in a linear manner. The waving pattern is an indication that the study themes have erratically strong or weak gravity or density.
