Therapeutic patient education in oncology: pedagogical notions for women's health and prevention.

Therapeutic patient education has been defined by the World Health Organization as a comprehensive approach to support patients and their families to better understanding of their diseases. In oncology, the contribution of therapeutic education may enable the patients to have adequate information of the illness, to actively participate in the management of the disease, to understand how to live with the illness, to learn how to face the critical moments of the clinical course, and to live in harmony with all health professionals. In addition, there may be several advantages for health professionals: a reduction in emotional labour, increased professional satisfaction, and a reduction in the potential tensions and conflicts with patients and their relatives. We suggest that therapeutic patient education in oncology may be useful for both patients and health professionals and probably lead to a reduction in the costs of healthcare delivery.

Pedagogical underpinnings of computer-based learning.

BACKGROUND: E-learning is becoming increasingly incorporated into educational programmes. Digital materials usually require a lot of investment in terms of time, money and human resources. With advances in technology, delivery of content has much improved in terms of multimedia elements. However, often only low-level learning is achieved as a result of using these materials. AIM: The purpose of this article is to give a comprehensive overview of some of the most important issues to consider when incorporating e-learning into educational programmes. DISCUSSION: Computer-based learning has three components: hardware, software and 'underware', the pedagogy that underpins its development. The latter is the most important, as the approach adopted will influence the creation of computer-based learning materials and determine the way in which students engage with subject matter. Teachers are responsible for the quality of their courses and have a vital role in helping to develop the most appropriate electronic learning activities that will facilitate students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for clinical practice. Therefore, they need to have an awareness of what contributes to educationally effective, computer-based learning materials.

Pedagogical integrity in the knowledge economy.

Abstract In pedagogy, as in life generally, there are moral complexities and ambiguities intrinsic to the teaching-learning process. Within the context of the knowledge economy and globalization those complexities and ambiguities are proliferating. How we as educators address the interface between these complexities is critical to how well we and those we serve fare in the educational and practice environment. With the emergent corporate university culture it would seem that the major goal is to become a 'knowledge factory' or a site of knowledge creation. Increasingly its scientific and technological agenda is to focus on generating knowledge that would further the means and ends of economic growth and public policy. Traditionally, however, education has meant much more than this. Indeed, the original purpose of university education was designed to foster a desire for right conduct and good things which ultimately cannot be neatly packaged and delivered. Within this view, university educators would thus be expected to cultivate a climate of self-reflection in which learning can be fulfilling in itself. This paper explores the notion of globalization and its hegemonic influence on the university agenda and addresses how corporatism, a key dimension of globalization, is in effect usurping the very essence of the teaching-learning process.

Cross-cultural health education: a pedagogical challenge.

Multicultural education is a necessary ingredient for promoting cultural diversity in the U.S. educational system. School health curricula should incorporate instruction about health problems among ethnic minorities. If we are to educate youth for what we want the future of society to be, educators must encourage and promote diversity. In school health curricula, diversity is critical to adequately promote health for all.

Pedagogical effectiveness of innovative teaching methods initiated at the Department of Physiology, Government Medical College, Chandigarh.

Modern teaching trends in medical education exhibit a paradigm shift from the conventional classroom teaching methods adopted in the past to nonconventional teaching aids so as to encourage interactive forms of learning in medical students through active participation and integrative reasoning where the relationship of the teacher and the taught has undergone tremendous transformation. Some of the nonconventional teaching methods adopted at our department are learning through active participation by the students through computer-assisted learning (CD-ROMs), Web-based learning (undergraduate projects), virtual laboratories, seminars, audiovisual aids (video-based demonstrations), and "physioquiz."
