RESUMO
Este trabalho teve como o objetivo comparar dois Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos, descrever e analisar o desenvolvimento da visão humanística no curso de graduação em Odontologia da Universidade Federal Fluminense, a partir da ótica dos acadêmicos do referido curso. Realizou-se uma pesquisa descritivo-exploratória com enfoque quanti-qualitativo. A coleta de dados deu-se em 03 etapas, as duas primeiras por meio de categorização dos fatores selecionados pelos alunos e a terceira pelo método denominado grupo focal. As estratégias de análises utilizadas foram a categorização, operações estatísticas simples, análise temática e análise crítica com a literatura revisada. Entre os resultados da pesquisa têm-se: não existe diferença entre a visão humanística dos alunos no período inicial quando comparada com as dos alunos no final do período do ciclo profissional no Projeto Pedagógico Antigo, no Projeto Pedagógico Novo, em curso, os alunos demonstram em sua maioria estar voltados para uma visão mais humanística. Conclui-se que a humanização, do processo ensino-aprendizagem no contexto acadêmico pesquisado, apresenta ainda deficiências, constituindo-se, portanto, em um caminho a perseguir, onde o comprometimento de todos os envolvidos neste processo de transformação e formação tem um papel fundamental.
The aim of this paper was to compare two Pedagogical Political Projects, to describe and analyze the development of humanistic vision in the undergraduate course in Dentistry of the Federal University of Fluminense, from the perspective of the academics of this course. A descriptive-exploratory research with quantitative-qualitative approach was carried out. The data collection took place in 03 stages; the first two by categorizing the factors selected by the students and the third by the method called the focal group. The analysis strategies used were categorization, simple statistical operations, thematic analysis and critical analysis with the reviewed literature. The results of the research are: there is no difference between the humanistic view of the students in the initial period when compared to the students at the end of the professional cycle in the Pedagogical Project. In the New Pedagogical Project, in progress, students demonstrate, in majority, aimed at a more humanistic view. It is concluded that the humanization of the teaching-learning process in the researched academic context still presents deficiencies, constituting, therefore, a path to be pursued, where the commitment of all those involved in this process of transformation and formation plays a fundamental role.

Com as universidades fechadas e a implementação do Ensino Remoto Emergencial, as atividades curriculares ocorreram através de plataformas digitais. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a percepção de aprendizagem on-line na disciplina de Biomateriais da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal Fluminense no período da pandemia. O questionário COLLES (Constructivist OnLine Learning Environment Survey) foi enviado individualmente por e-mail aos cinquenta alunos, apresentando 24 declarações divididas em seis quesitos: relevância, reflexão crítica, interatividade, apoio dos tutores, apoio entre os colegas e compreensão; e para cada declaração cinco opções de resposta: quase sempre, frequentemente, algumas vezes, raramente e quase nunca. Quarenta e um alunos responderam. A soma das médias obtidas em quase sempre e frequentemente foi de 87,2% para relevância, 70% para reflexão crítica, 33,9% para interatividade, 47,6% para apoio dos tutores, 44,2% para apoio dos colegas e 89,5% para compreensão. Concluiu-se que a relevância, a reflexão crítica e a compreensão apresentaram melhores resultados, enquanto a interatividade, o apoio entre os colegas e o apoio dos tutores demonstraram necessidade de aprimoramento. E apesar das limitações do ERE, a avaliação positiva dos alunos evidenciou esta modalidade de educação on-line como uma solução plausível.
With universities closed and the implementation of Emergency Remote Teaching, curricular activities took place through digital platforms. The objective of this study was to assess the perception of online learning in the Biomaterials course at the Dental School of the Federal Fluminense University during the pandemic. The COLLES questionnaire (Constructivist OnLine Learning Environment Survey) was individually sent via email to fifty students, presenting 24 statements divided into six aspects: relevance, critical reflection, interactivity, tutor support, peer support, and comprehension. For each statement, there were five response options: almost always, often, sometimes, rarely, and almost never. Forty-one students responded. The sum of the averages obtained for almost always and often was 87.2% for relevance, 70% for critical reflection, 33.9% for interactivity, 47.6% for tutor support, 44.2% for peer support, and 89.5% for comprehension. It was concluded that relevance, critical reflection, and comprehension showed better results, while interactivity, peer support, and tutor support demonstrated a need for improvement. Despite the limitations of Emergency Remote Teaching, the positive evaluation from the students highlighted this mode of online education as a plausible solution.

Implicit statistical learning (ISL) is non-conscious learning where participants identify patterns in their environment after repeated exposures. This study verified whether Brazilian children with DD present disturbances in the ISL mechanism and if these disturbances may be related to the difficulties associated with DD through artificial grammar learning (AGL) and reaction time in serial tasks (SRT Task). It also intended to verify which of the paradigms proves to be the most sensitive to assess ISL and which is most associated with participants' learning to read and write. Two groups of children with and without DD from the end of the first cycle and the beginning of the second cycle of the elementary school participated in this study, paired according to socioeconomic level, education network, schooling, gender and age. Children with DD showed no disturbances in the ISL process; the AGL paradigm exhibited the most significant association with performance on reading/writing tasks. When compared to the SRT Task, the AGL paradigm proved to be more sensitive in assessing implicit processes and effectively distinguishing between the groups with and without DD. The results of the SRT Task emphasise the importance of task practice and structure for implicit learning in children with developmental dyslexia. These findings have important implications for understanding ISL and its relevance to reading and writing skills in children with developmental dyslexia.

The pivotal importance of workplace learning (WPL) within health professions education has elevated its understanding and improvement to a major research priority. From a sociocultural learning theory perspective, WPL is inherently situated and context-specific. This means that the health care settings in which (future) health care professionals are trained will impact how and what is learned. However, to what extent is the research performed thus far transferable across professional contexts, cultures and borders? To what extent has WPL research sufficiently addressed the contextual characteristics of WPL to enable the evaluation of its transferability? To what extent have methodological and theoretical approaches enabled the building of understanding across contexts? We propose that heightening the transferability of WPL research as well as opening up the conversation to more diverse WPL contexts, settings and cultures will require mapping context and theoretical engagement. To explore what theoretical engagement may afford to our understanding of the influence of context on WPL, we use two theories: Landscapes of Practice and Figured Worlds. These theories with sociocultural groundings provide concrete lenses to understand the interplay between the individual and the context. We conclude with implications for research and practice and advocate for more attention to research practices that may deepen our understanding and heighten the transferability of workplace learning research.

Para afrontar los retos planteados en la medicina actual, se requiere de estudiantes con actitud reflexiva, crítica, y con formación en bioética, la cual no se ha incorporado aún al plan de estudios, por lo que se proponen estrategias de enseñanza extracurriculares. Objetivo: Elaborar una propuesta de enseñanza de la Bioética para los alumnos de Medicina de la Escuela Vargas, basada en estrategias extracurriculares. Métodos: El diseño metodológico corresponde a un estudio, descriptivo, con abordaje cuasi experimental. Se conformó un grupo piloto de 50 estudiantes voluntarios de la Escuela de Medicina Vargas, al cual se le realizó una evaluación diagnóstica de competencias en bioética mediante un cuestionario estructurado para evaluar conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes. El grupo, con la orientación del autor principal, elaboró un plan extracurricular de actividades de formación en bioética, a cumplirse en un lapso de cinco meses, y al finalizar el plan se evaluaron los cambios logrados. Se realizó análisis de frecuencia y métodos estadísticos no paramétricos mediante la prueba de Wilcoxon, utilizando programa SPSS V25.0. Resultados: Se evidenció un incremento de 35% en las respuestas consideradas correctas en el cuestionario, al pasar de 55% a 90%, con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en las respuestas de los estudiantes antes y después de recibir la inducción en Bioética. Las actividades que generaron mayor participación, fueron las deliberativas virtuales mediante las redes sociales, a las cuales se incorporaron espontáneamente otros miembros de la comunidad académica. El grupo piloto creó una sociedad estudiantil de carácter permanente denominada Biomética UCV, cuyo propósito es promover la formación en bioética de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Medicina. En función de los resultados obtenidos, se hicieron cambios para optimizar el plan de formación y elaborar la propuesta definitiva de la actividad de extensión. Conclusión: El programa de bioética basado en actividades extracurriculares, de un grupo de extensión, demostró un aumento en el aprendizaje de la Bioética, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas, antes y después de las actividades de formación, permitiéndoles la participación en la construcción de su propio aprendizaje.
To face the challenges posed in current medicine, students with a reflective, critical attitude and training in bioethics are required, which has not yet been incorporated into the curriculum, which is why extracurricular teaching strategies are proposed. Objective: Prepare a proposal for teaching Bioethics for medical students at the Vargas School, based on extracurricular strategies. Methods: The methodological design corresponds to a descriptive study, with a quasi-experimental approach. A pilot group of50 volunteer students from the Vargas School of Medicine was formed, to whom a diagnostic evaluation of bioethics competencies was carried out using a structured questionnaire to evaluate knowledge, skills and attitudes. The group, with the guidance of the main author, developed an extracurricular plan of training activities in bioethics, to be completed within a period of five months, and at the end of the plan the changes achieved were evaluated. Frequency analysis and non-parametric statistical methods were performed using the Wilcoxon test, using SPSS V25.0 software. Results: There was an increase of 35% in the answers considered correct in the questionnaire, going from 55% to 90%, with a statistically significant difference in the students' answers before and after receiving the induction in Bioethics. The activities that generated the greatest participation were the virtual deliberative ones through social networks, to which other members of the academic community spontaneously joined. The pilot group created a permanent student society called UCV Biometics, whose purpose is to promote bioethics training for students of the Faculty of Medicine. Based on the results obtained, changes were made to optimize the training plan and prepare the final proposal for the extension activity. Conclusion: The bioethics program based on extracurricular activities, of an extension group, demonstrated an increase in the learning of Bioethics, with statistically significant differences, before and after the training activities, allowing them to participate in the construction of their own learning.

Introducción: El estudio fue diseñado como una simulación, basada en el aprendizaje experiencial, orientada a sensibilizar a los participantes del Diplomado Multidisciplinario en Educación en Diabetes de la Universidad Central de Venezuela y a tomar conciencia de las barreras que enfrentan y deben superar las personas con diabetes al intentar adquirir hábitos de vida saludable. Método: La undécima cohorte del Diplomado se distribuyó en cuatro grupos y a cada participante se le pidió que se fijara una meta de actividad física a alcanzar en un mes, así como dar apoyo a sus compañeros en su esfuerzo individual. Toda la interacción dentro del grupo se llevó a cabo de manera virtual. Al final de la actividad, se les pidió que escribieran una reflexión sobre la experiencia. Se trató de una investigación aplicada de tipo cualitativo en el cual serealizó un muestreo por conveniencia y todas las reflexiones fueron analizadas cualitativamente, utilizando un análisis de contenido convencional que permitió la creación de categorías y subcategorías. Resultados: Se distinguen 4 categorías: 1) Impacto personal (3 subcategorías), 2) Reforzamiento por el grupo, 3) Empatía hacia los pacientes y 4) Conocimiento práctico (2 subcategorías). Conclusión: El análisis de las reflexiones de los participantes mostró que se involucraron emocionalmente en la actividad,lo que los llevó a comprender de manera empática las dificultades que experimentan los pacientes con diabetes al intentar cambiar sus hábitos. Además, la experiencia los llevó a sugerir formas de superar estas dificultades, consecuencia de las que ellos mismos pusieron en práctica sobre las suyas.
ntroduction: Participants of the Multidisciplinary Diploma in Diabetes Education at the Central University of Venezuela were subject of the study. It was designed as a stratagem, based on experiential learning, aimed at raising awareness of the barriers that diabetes patients face and must overcome when trying to acquire healthy lifestyle habits. Method: The eleventh cohort of the Diploma were distributed into four groups and each participant was asked to set a goal to achieve within a month regarding physical activity, as well as trying to support their peers. All interactions within the group were carried out virtually. At the end of the activity, they were asked to write a reflection on the experience. A convenience sampling was carried out and all thereflections were analyzed qualitatively, using a conventional content-analysis that allowed the creation of categories and subcategories. Results: Four categories were obtained: 1) Personal impact (3 subcategories), 2) Reinforcement by the group, 3) Empathy towards patients and 4) Practical knowledge (2 subcategories). Conclusion: Analysis of the participants' reflections showed that they were emotionally involved in the activity, leading them to an empathetic understanding of the difficulties experienced by diabetics when trying to change their habits. In addition, the experience led them to suggest ways to overcome these difficulties, consequential to those they themselves put into practice over their own.

OBJECTIVE: This scoping review explores the existing literature related to post-pandemic face-to-face learning environments for undergraduate students following their participation in virtual classes during the Covid-19 pandemic. The secondary objectives are focused to identify the cognitive; emotional, or communicative demands that characterize students; changes in pedagogical strategies; and primary recommendations regarding post-pandemic face-to-face education in the context of Covid-19. INTRODUCTION: The global emergency created by the presence of COVID-19 has led to significant change in the daily lives of people worldwide, ranging from lockdowns to the proliferation of virtual channels for social interaction and learning. Interest in its effects remains relevant in various fields including social, economic, health, technological, and educational studies. The transition back to face-to-face studies in university settings requires new adjustment processes for both students and teachers, necessitating pedagogical transformations and addressing cognitive, emotional, communicative, and habituation demands. Studies on the return to face-to-face studies in university settings are relatively scarce and warrant in-depth research. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will include studies completed and published in calendar years 2022 and 2024 that involve post-pandemic face-to-face learning environments for undergraduate students from any geographical area. METHODOLOGY: This scoping review will follow the JBI methodology for conducting scoping reviews. The following databases will be used: Academic Search Complete, Inter-American Development Bank, CLACSO, and The UNESCO Institute for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (IESALC), Dimensions, DOAB, DOAJ, ERIC, LILACS, Psicodoc, Redalyc, Redib, Scielo, Scopus, Dialnet, Web Of Science, Latindex, Google Scholar, SocArXiv. The search will aim to locate publications without language restrictions from any geographic location, including peer-reviewed articles, grey literature, preprints, technical notes, and policy reports. Three independent reviewers will screen, retrieve and review full-text studies and extract data. Consensus will be sought in the event of disagreement. The search results will be presented in the PRISMA-ScR flowchart. A narrative summary will also be included (Tricco AC 2018). TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registration of systematic reviews: Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/6P9QB).

Learning alterations in the child population may be linked to gestational diabetes as a causal factor, though this remains an open and highly controversial question. In that sense, it has been reported that maternal hyperglycemia generates a threatening condition that affects hippocampal development in offspring. The pyramidal cells of the CA3 subfield, a key structure in learning and memory processes, are particularly important in cognitive deficiencies. We evaluate the effect of the hyperglycemic intrauterine environment on hippocampal histomorphometry in offspring, correlating it with spatial learning and memory, as well as the morphology of dendrites and spines in 30-day-old pups (P30). The maternal hyperglycemia affected the body weight, height, and brain size of fetuses at 21 days of gestation (F21), newborn pups (P0) and P30 pups from diabetic rats, which were smaller compared to the control group. Consequently, this resulted in a decrease in hippocampal size, lower neuronal density and cytoarchitectural disorganization in the CA3 region of the hippocampus in the offspring at the three ages studied. The behavioral tests performed showed a direct relationship between morpho-histological alterations and deficiencies in learning and memory, as well as alterations in the morphology of the dendrites and spines. Therefore, knowing the harmful effects caused by gestational diabetes can be of great help to establish therapeutic and educational strategies that can help to improve learning and memory in children.

This study aims to identify and analyze innovative and transformative pedagogical practices constructed for, and by, a school community in Chile through the implementation of an annual carnival to face emerging social challenges in their communities. To this end, we take on an ethnographic approach to the data collection process through participant observation, which encompassed observations of the planning and design process of the carnival, interviews and questionnaires to relevant social actors of the school community, and document analysis. Results suggest that the carnival favors the construction, maintenance, and resignification of a symbolic relationship across the school community in which it is possible to identify the ideas, expectations, and valuations of the community in their pursuit of social well-being and social change through quality and meaningful teaching and learning experiences. Consequently, the empirical findings in this study provide a new understanding of how learning and teaching practices can, in fact, challenge and overcome structural and institutional constraints in the construction and legitimation of meaningful socio-educational ecologies.

BACKGROUND: Learning styles are biological and developmental configurations of personal characteristics that make the same teaching method effective for some and ineffective for others. Studies support a relationship between learning style and career choices in medicine, resulting in learning style patterns being observed in different residency programs, including in general surgery, from medical school to the last stages of training. The methodologies, populations, and contexts of the few studies pertinent to the matter are very different from one another, and a scoping review on this theme will enhance and organize what is already known. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study is to identify and map out data from studies on the learning styles of medical students, surgical residents, medical staff, and surgical teachers. METHODS: The review will consider studies on the learning styles of medical students in a clinical cycle or internship, surgical residents with no restriction on year of residency, medical staff in general surgery, or general surgery's medical faculty. Primary studies published in English, with no specific time frame, will be considered. The search will be carried out in four databases, and reference lists will be searched for additional studies. Duplicates will be removed, and two independent reviewers will screen the titles, abstracts, and full texts of the selected studies. Data collection will be performed using a tool developed by the researchers. A results summary will be presented with figures, narratives, and tables. A quantitative and qualitative analysis will be carried out and further results will be shared. RESULTS: The search was funded on September 25, 2023. Data collection was performed in the two following months. Of the 213 articles found, 135 were excluded due to duplication. The remaining 78 articles will have their titles and abstracts analyzed by three of the researchers independently to select those that meet the eligibility criteria. This data is expected to be published in the first semester of 2025. CONCLUSIONS: Conducting a scoping review is the best way to map what is known about a subject. Understanding how students, residents, staff, and even teachers prefer to learn surgery is key to staying up to date and knowing how to best educate those pursuing a surgical career.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze sociodemographic variables, quality of life, self-perceived health, learning motivation and behavior of adolescents in 2018 and 2021. METHOD: observational cross-sectional study with 124 adolescents in 2018, and 68 in 2021. A Form for sociodemographic variables, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, Self-Perceived Health instrument, Learning Motivation Scale and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire were used to collect data. Data collection was carried out using forms on Google Forms. For the analysis, descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used. RESULTS: the majority of participants belonged to class A. In the comparison between 2018 and 2021, there was a worsening in the assessment of self-perceived health. In the assessment of QoL by parents, there was a statistically significant difference between the scores of the social and psychosocial dimensions. Among adolescents, there were differences between QoL scores in the physical and psychosocial dimensions. CONCLUSION: the adolescent with a better mental health assessment had a greater chance of having a better quality of life in the periods investigated (OR=5.35 and OR=5.51). Younger students showed greater motivation to learn, increasing the chance of improving their quality of life by up to 9.75 and 5.02 times in the two periods, respectively. BACKGROUND: (1) The school environment is a space favorable to promoting physical, mental and social health. BACKGROUND: (2) Awareness about healthy lifestyle habits should be carried out during adolescence. BACKGROUND: (3) Aspects related to health can influence behavior and learning. BACKGROUND: (4) Quality of life (QoL) and its dimensions are related to the motivation to learn. BACKGROUND: (5) Adolescent mental health is related to self-perception of QoL.

Teaching requires the incorporation of communication skills, and these potentials may affect the outcomes of the learning process. This study evaluated the quality of communication between professors and students during the process of learning Dentistry. A questionnaire was developed and applied to evaluate their perceptions about their communications in an undergraduate Dentistry course. The questionnaire had ten items to analyze professors' self-perception and ten for students' perceptions, using a Likert-like scale and a final open question. During its construction, it was sent to five specialists to analyze content validity. The open question gathered suggestions to improve and intensify communications effectively and to identify vulnerabilities. Total scores ranged from 10 to 50, with 10 as the worst perception, and 50, as the best. The scores were calculated by adding all answers and then dividing that sum by the total number of items. Cronbach's alpha was calculated to evaluate the instrument's internal consistency. The level of significance was set at 0.05%. The Student t-test was used to determine differences between groups. Professors' self-perceptions and students' perceptions of the quality of communication of the university teaching staff during the student's learning process had statistically significant differences. Professors classified their ability to communicate when emitting and receiving information as satisfactory. Students, however, did not fully agree with them, particularly on the items about receiving information. The perceptions identified in this study may lead to a new direction in the communicative behavior of professors and students.

Multimodal integration is a core neural process with a keen relevance during ecological tasks requiring learning and memory, such as foraging. The benefits of learning multimodal signals imply solving whether the components come from a single event. This challenge presumably depends on the timing and intensity of the stimuli. Here, we used simultaneous and alternate presentations of olfactory and visual stimuli, at low and high intensities, to understand how temporal and intensity variations affect the learning of a bimodal stimulus and its components. We relied on the conditioning of the proboscis extension response (PER) to train honey bees to an appetitive learning task with bimodal stimuli precisely controlled. We trained bees to stimuli with different synchronicity and intensity levels. We found that synchronicity, order of presentation, and intensity significantly impacted the probability of exhibiting conditioned PER responses and the latency of the conditioned responses. At low intensities, synchronous bimodal inputs produced maximal multisensory enhancement, while asynchronous temporal orders led to lower performances. At high intensities, the relative advantage of the synchronous stimulation diminished, and asynchronous stimuli produced similar performances. Memory retention was higher for the olfactory component and bimodal stimuli compared to the visual component, irrespective of the training's temporal configuration. Bees retained the asynchronous bimodal configuration to a lesser extent than the synchronous one, depending on the stimulus intensity. We conclude that time (synchrony), order of presentation, and intensity have interdependent effects on bee learning and memory performance. This suggests caution when assessing the independent effects of each factor.

BACKGROUND: Neuromyths may negatively influence teacher practice. Knowing where people learned misinformation can prevent its propagation and improve teacher training. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of neuromyths, their sources, and whether they influence teacher practice. METHOD: 157 participants (teachers, pre-service teachers, and the general public), assessed four neuromyths statements on a 4-point Likert scale. They indicate their sources, and if they were educators, whether they influenced their teacher practice. RESULTS: Participants showed over 50 % agreement in neuromyths, and approximately 30 % of teachers reported using teaching strategies based on these misconceptions. Information sources included social media, instructional materials, books, as well as interactions with peers. CONCLUSION: These results underscore the need to avoid the spread of neuromyths, especially the learning styles myth, targeting training courses and educational materials. Most teachers remember where they learned about neuromyths, which may help to identify the sources.

Background: Workplace-based assessments (WPBA) have become integral to learner-centred medical education. As previous research has linked learner engagement to WPBA implementation, this study explores residents' and faculty members' experiences with learner engagement in the normalisation of WPBA practice. Methods: Transcendental phenomenology was used as the qualitative approach, focusing on the participants' lived experiences. A semi-structured interview guide was used to interview five faculty members and five residents who had conducted WPBA. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using phenomenological data analysis. Results: Three themes were identified between learner engagement and WPBA conduct: (a) work environment, (b) roles and relationships, and (c) mutually beneficial teaching and learning. WPBA learner engagement occurred when participants interacted with each other and with the clinical setting to facilitate teaching and learning. Both participant groups reported a desire to participate in WPBA, but time constraints at times hindered participation. The residents indicated that WPBA improved their knowledge and admitted to experiencing negative emotions during the assessment. Overall, participants recognised the reciprocal benefits of WPBA participation for their professional development. Conclusion: The findings of the study suggest that learner engagement influences the use of WPBA. Consequently, it may be beneficial to consider the role of learner engagement to normalise WPBA application for teaching and learning in the clinical context.
Contexte: Les évaluations en milieu de travail (EMT) font désormais partie intégrante de l'enseignement médical centré sur l'apprenant. Des recherches antérieures ayant établi un lien entre l'engagement de l'apprenant et la mise en Åuvre de l'EMT, cette étude explore les expériences des résidents et des membres du corps professoral en matière d'engagement de l'apprenant dans la normalisation de la pratique de l'EMT. Méthodes: La phénoménologie transcendantale a été utilisée comme approche qualitative, en portant une attention particulière aux expériences vécues des participants. Un guide d'entrevue semi-structurée a été utilisé pour interroger cinq membres du corps professoral et cinq résidents qui avaient pratiqué l'EMT. Les entrevues ont été transcrites et analysées à l'aide d'une analyse phénoménologique des données. Résultats: Trois thèmes ont été identifiés entre l'engagement de l'apprenant et la conduite des EMT : (a) l'environnement de travail, (b) les rôles et les relations, et (c) l'enseignement et l'apprentissage mutuellement bénéfiques. L'engagement de l'apprenant dans le cadre de l'EMT s'est produit lorsque les participants ont interagi entre eux et avec le milieu clinique pour faciliter l'enseignement et l'apprentissage. Les deux groupes de participants ont fait part de leur désir de participer à l'EMT, mais des contraintes de temps ont parfois entravé leur participation. Les résidents ont indiqué que l'EMT avait amélioré leurs connaissances et ont admis avoir ressenti des émotions négatives lors de l'évaluation. Dans l'ensemble, les participants ont reconnu les avantages réciproques de la participation à l'EMT pour leur développement professionnel. Conclusion: Les résultats de l'étude suggèrent que l'engagement de l'apprenant influence l'utilisation de l'EMT. Par conséquent, il peut être bénéfique de considérer le rôle de l'engagement de l'apprenant pour normaliser l'application de l'EMT pour l'enseignement et l'apprentissage dans le contexte clinique.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze reflective practice in the teaching-learning process of nurses in residency programs in teaching hospitals in Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: Case study, based on the reflective practice framework, conducted in two teaching hospitals. Observation and interviews were conducted with first and second-year residents, and five participants were included for in-depth analysis, with their data subjected to frequency distribution analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis. RESULTS: In 519 observed activities, elements of reflection were identified in 22.2%, especially active listening and expression of doubts. Discourses indicated practice as the best moment for teaching-learning due to its potential to generate reflections. Learning by doing and case discussion were considered potential strategies for reflective learning. CONCLUSION: Know-in-action reflection was evidenced as the predominant formative aspect for residents, with few opportunities for reflection on reflection-in-action.

BACKGROUND: Evidence shows that motivational practices focused on utility, importance, and autonomy shape university students' motivational orientation toward learning. On the other hand, the relationship between these variables and motivational orientation toward learning is not linear and requires models that describe their behavior over time. METHOD: In this study, mathematical modeling based on system dynamics methodology is used to simulate in health students the temporal dynamics of the motivational orientation toward learning based on the behavior of these variables in different scenarios. RESULTS: The results indicate that a) Mastery is sensitive to changes in frequency when importance and autonomy practices are performed; b) the development of Mastery is critical in the first three semesters of academic life, but its loss is hardly recoverable even when practices are incorporated in subsequent semesters; c) Utility-focused motivational practices have no significant effect on the development of learning-oriented motivation. CONCLUSION: These findings have significant practical implications for higher education. Understanding the critical role of Mastery in the early stages of academic life and the limited potential for recovery if lost can help raise awareness of the importance of early implementation of motivational practices focused on relevance and autonomy.

BACKGROUND: Currently, multiple tools exist to teach and learn anatomy, but finding an adequate activity is challenging. However, it can be achieved through haptic experiences, where motivation is the means of a significant learning process. This study aimed to evaluate a haptic experience to determine if a tactile and painting with color marker interactive experience, established a better learning process in comparison to the traditional 2D workshop on printed paper with photographs. METHODS: Plaster bone models of the scapulae, humerus and clavicle were elaborated from a computerized scan tomography. Second year undergraduate medical students were invited to participate, where subjects were randomly assigned to the traditional 2D method or the 3D plaster bone model. A third group decided not to join any workshop. Following, all three groups were evaluated on bone landmarks and view, laterality, muscle insertions and functions. 2D and 3D workshop students were asked their opinion in a focus group and answered a survey regarding the overall perception and learning experience. Evaluation grades are presented as mean ± standard deviation, and answers from the survey are presented as percentages. RESULTS: The survey demonstrated the students in the 3D model graded the experience as outstanding, and in five out of the six questions, answers were very good or excellent. In contrast, for students participating in the 2D workshop the most common answers were fair or good. The exception was the answer regarding the quiz, where both groups considered it good, despite the average among all groups not being a passing grade. CONCLUSIONS: To learn the anatomy of the shoulder, the conventional methodology was compared with a haptic experience, where plaster bone models were used, enabling students to touch and paint on them. Based on the focus group and survey this study revealed the 3D workshop was an interactive experience where, the sense of touch and painting greatly contributed to their learning process. Even though this activity was useful in terms of learning bone landmarks, view muscle insertions, and establish relations, further activities must be developed to increase their understanding regarding their function, and its relevance in a clinical setting.

BACKGROUND: In nursing education, contact with real scenarios implies the design of favorable experiences to develop prioritization, reasoning, critical thinking, and management skills that support future practice. In the context of the teaching-learning process, simulation emerges as a support strategy, but its use and management require the knowledge and appropriation of teachers. Clinical simulation during education promotes growth in technical skills and aptitudes such as critical thinking, emotional management, organization, delegation, and teamwork. The culmination positively impacts the student, reflecting on their confidence, security, and adaptability to unexpected or unknown situations and risks. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this scoping review is to determine the socioemotional skills described during the teaching-learning process mediated by medium- and high-fidelity clinical simulation in nursing students. METHODS: The main concepts and limits of the research area will be determined according to the 5 phases of a scoping review proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Research articles and postgraduate theses published between 2010 and 2023 in English and Spanish will be considered. Dissertation-type documents, book chapters, editorials, abstracts, and articles focused on clinical simulation among nursing professionals will be excluded. The articles will be retrieved from databases available at the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, along with CINAHL, Scielo, and PubMed. The search strategy will be based on the Population-Concept-Context framework. Article selection will be carried out by 2 independent evaluators who will review titles and abstracts in stage 1 and the full text in stage 2. A database of retrieved articles will be built with the variables of interest. A qualitative thematic analysis will be conducted by 5 independent reviewers to provide an overview of the literature, focusing on identifying similarities and contrasts between studies and contributions related to the aspects of social skills described in nursing students. RESULTS: The investigation has not yet started. The findings aim to focus on variables within the academic environment that, when correlated with the clinical simulation experience, may determine student learning. The working hypothesis is that students who experience greater satisfaction or possess better communication skills also demonstrate superior performance during high-fidelity simulation activities. The most relevant results will be contrasted considering the stated objective and knowledge gaps. Key aspects will also be compared with other reviews addressing related topics such as communication, self-efficacy, and self-confidence. Skills described by other authors that were not considered in the initial literature review will also be mentioned. CONCLUSIONS: Educational institutions are responsible for including learning experiences in controlled environments such as medium- and high-fidelity simulation to ensure the acquisition of technical capabilities and additional socioemotional skills. Recognizing and managing emotions is necessary to provide adequate care for users of health care services and for the increased effectiveness of professionals.

El propósito de esta investigación fue comprender las dificultades y necesidades para el aprendizaje de las ideas principales de la Anatomía Macroscópica Humana AMH. Se investigó un grupo de 90 estudiantes de segundo semestre del programa académico de Medicina y Cirugía de una Universidad pública, quienes se encontraban cursando la asignatura de Anatomía Macroscópica Humana I, para ello se tuvo en cuenta el modelo del conocimiento pedagógico del contenido PCK que incluye el conocimiento de los estudiantes, de su comprensión de la AMH, se realizó una observación participante de las clases teóricas y prácticas durante 16 semanas, llevando a cabo los registros de la observación en diario de campo y se obtuvo material audiovisual. Posteriormente se elaboró un índice analítico, se transcribió la información, todos los documentos fueron analizados por medio del software para análisis ATLAS.ti. Se encontraron aspectos de la enseñanza que dificultan el aprendizaje, como son la metodología de enseñanza, la gran cantidad de contenido abordado en la asignatura, la dificultad en la comprensión de las descripciones y complejidad de la ubicación espacial de las piezas anatómicas, la dificultad para encontrar una metodología de estudio apropiada y la falta de concentración durante las clases. El comprender la complejidad del proceso de aprendizaje puede favorecer la planeación y desarrollo de la enseñanza y la evaluación.
SUMMARY: The purpose of this research was to understand the difficulties and needs for learning the main ideas of Human Macroscopic Anatomy AMH. A group of 90 students from the second semester of the academic program of Medicine and Surgery of a public University were investigated, who were studying the subject of Human Macroscopic Anatomy I, for this the model of pedagogical knowledge of the PCK content that includes the knowledge of the students, their understanding of the AMH, a participant observation of the theoretical and practical classes was carried out for 16 weeks, keeping records of the observation in a field diary, and audiovisual material was obtained. Subsequently, an analytical index was prepared, the information was transcribed, all documents were analyzed using the ATLAS.ti analysis software. Aspects of teaching that hinder learning were found, such as the teaching methodology, the great amount of content addressed in the subject, the difficulty in understanding the descriptions and complexity of the spatial location of the anatomical pieces, the difficulty in finding an appropriate study methodology and the lack of concentration during classes. Understanding the complexity of the learning process can favor the planning and development of teaching and assessment.
