    AN INVESTIGATION OF THE DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECT IN FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS DURING DISTANCE EDUCATION
    (Grand Canyon University, 2023) Doğan E.; Güven Ş.; Dal N.; Tok S.; Işık U.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect refers to low performing individuals’ tendency to overestimate their performance. The metacognitive deficit is thought to be responsible for this inflated self-assessment observed among the low performers. The present study investigated whether the Dunning–Kruger effect occurs in college students during online distance education. A total of 41 college students enrolled in a Learning Psychology course took four online multiple-choice tests immediately following 1-hour online Learning Psychology courses. After each exam, participants estimated their grade points and also rated confidence in their grade point estimations. We performed a series of independent sample t-tests after we had grouped the students as higher and lower performers based on a median split of the actual exam grade points. The analysis demonstrated that lower performing students’ deviation of self-estimated grade points from real grade points was significantly greater than higher performing students. Confidence in grade point estimation did not differ between high performers and low performers. Overall, the results indicated that lower performing students overestimated their grade points by an average of 13.5%. On the other hand, lower performing students were as confident in their grade point prediction as higher performing students. © 2023, Grand Canyon University. All rights reserved.

    Background: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is one of the most frequent side effects of antimicrobial therapy. We assessed the epidemiological data of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in pediatric patients in our region. Methods: The prospective multi-center study included pediatric patients who were initiated an oral antibiotic course in outpatient clinics and followed in a well-established surveillance system. This follow-up system constituded inclusion of patient by the primary physician, supply of family follow-up charts to the family, passing the demographics and clinical information of patient to the Primary Investigator Centre, and a close telephone follow-up of patients for a period of eight weeks by the Primary Investigator Centre. Results: A result of 758 cases were recruited in the analysis which had a frequency of 10.4% antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Among the cases treated with amoxicillin-clavulanate 10.4%, and cephalosporins 14.4% presented with antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In the analysis of antibiotic-associated diarrhea occurrence according to different geographical regions of Turkey, antibiotic-associated diarrhea episodes differed significantly (p = 0.014), particularly higher in The Eastern Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia. Though most commonly encountered with cephalosporin use, antibiotic-associated diarrhea is not a frequent side effect. Conclusion: This study on pediatric antibiotic-associated diarrhea displayed epidemiological data and the differences geographically in our region. © 2023, The Author(s).
