Medical teacher and his pedagogical training (experience with Bratislavian system of training the assistants for pedagogical activity in postgraduate education of physicians and pharmacists).

System of training the medical teachers for pedagogical activity, used in the Institute for Postgraduate Education of Physicians and Pharmacists (IPEPP) in Bratislava, have not had long tradition as yet. We do not want this training to be understood as universal instruction to prepare the assistants for pedagogical activity, which is in a final consequence always dependent on the concrete conditions and social needs. It should serve as information on one of the possibilities to secure the systematic training of medical teachers for pedagogical activity in postgraduate education of physicians and pharmacists.

Pedagogical encounters between nurses and patients in a medical ward--a field study.

BACKGROUND: Patient teaching is regarded as an important aspect of nursing care as well as an essential part of the nursing profession. In nursing practice, a distinction can be made between formal (planned) and informal (spontaneous) patient teaching. The major part of patient teaching research is within the area of formal teaching. In spite of the fact that spontaneous teaching occurs in everyday nursing practice, there is a lack of knowledge in this area. OBJECTIVES: The aim was to illuminate pedagogical dimensions in nursing situations and informal teaching. DESIGN: The study is a fieldwork study within the frames of a life-world phenomenological tradition. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: Fifteen registered nurses in a general medical ward of a university hospital in Sweden were followed in their daily work with patients. Twelve patients suffering from various chronic diseases were interviewed. METHODS: The observations comprised a total of 173 h on 34 separate occasions. Informal dialogues with nurses were carried through. Further, formal interviews were conducted with 12 of the observed patients. The data were analysed by means of a life-world phenomenological approach. RESULTS: Two different pedagogical encounters are presented: "Players in different field pedagogical encounters", in which there is a breakdown in the pedagogical dialogue, and "Players in same field pedagogical encounters", in which the pedagogical dialogue develops. Patients' experiences of seeking and acquiring knowledge within these two types of encounter are characterised as "worry" versus "preparedness". Patients' dignity is either threatened or supported, depending on the type of encounter. CONCLUSIONS: Health care organisations have to create a pedagogical climate where "Same field pedagogical encounters" can be created. The nurse has to view the patient as a learning person in order to help the patient to achieve "preparedness". "Preparedness" is described as a cognitive-emotive-existential state and emphasised as an important goal of patient teaching.

A Pathfinder analysis of pedagogical knowledge structures: a follow-up investigation.

This study is an extension of an earlier investigation of undergraduate students' acquisition of key pedagogical concepts in a physical education teaching methodology course. In that study, Pathfinder, a method for eliciting associative memory networks, was used to describe and compare the pedagogical knowledge structures of students to that of the course instructor. After the course, students' pedagogical knowledge structures corresponded more closely with that of the instructor, and students who corresponded the closest performed better in the course. The results raised an interesting issue regarding the acquisition of knowledge in undergraduate students. Did students acquire a generalizable body of pedagogical knowledge applicable beyond the context of the teaching methodology course or a highly contextualized reflection of their course instructor's knowledge base? In the present study the external validity of the pedagogical knowledge base was examined by using Pathfinder to compare the knowledge structures of students from the initial investigation with knowledge structures of five experienced teacher educators from five different teacher education programs. The findings indicated that students' knowledge structures became significantly more correspondent with that of the experienced teachers' structures from the beginning to the end of the course. Also, students' correspondence with teacher educators' structures following instruction was found to be significantly correlated with academic and teaching performance. The findings point to the external validity of the domain of knowledge under study and the robustness of Pathfinder for capturing pedagogical knowledge.

Teaching within a curricular zone of safety: school culture and the situated nature of student teachers' pedagogical content knowledge.

The purpose of this paper is to continue the theoretical delineation of the nature of pedagogical content knowledge. Two student teachers were observed teaching an elementary games and high school sport unit and interviewed in depth about their lessons, biography, pedagogical content knowledge, and aspects of the school culture. Data were analyzed by constant comparison and analytic induction. Trustworthiness was established through member checks and triangulation. In the high school, both student teachers tried to use extending and refining tasks, as they had in the elementary school. But, when confronted with aspects of the high school culture, both retreated to a curricular zone of safety relying on application tasks. This zone, the defining aspect of their pedagogical content knowledge of teaching sports, emerged from and was constituted by the relations among goals, capabilities, teaching, inadequate pedagogical content knowledge, and aspects of the school culture. It is argued that situated and cultural orientations contribute to psychological orientations currently used to delineate pedagogical content knowledge. A curricular zone of safety is offered as a concept that helped account for the emergence and persistence of particular ways of knowing content.

The pedagogic characteristics of a clinical conference for senior residents and faculty.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the pedagogic characteristics of a clinical conference for senior pediatric residents and selected faculty. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: Nineteen senior pediatric residents and 14 selected faculty members participated in a daily clinical conference at Children's Hospital, Boston, Mass. DESIGN: Qualitative research design using videotapes of nine consecutive hour-long sessions to generate pedagogic topics to be investigated using a questionnaire administered to participating residents and faculty. Narrative responses were analyzed to find pedagogic themes. RESULTS: Analysis of videotapes generated the following three topics: What facilitated learning? What was learned? What makes the process of teaching and learning effective? In the questionnaire residents indicated that learning was facilitated by resident-faculty interactions (19/19), faculty participation (19/19), and information resources (12/19). Content learned included information (16/19), approach to diagnosis (11/19), management strategies (14/19), and different perspective (14/19). An effective process of teaching and learning was attributed to case-based resident initiated discussion (19/19), facilitation by the chief resident (16/19), and non-competitive discussions in which expert faculty played a nondominant role (19/19). Faculty identified identical factors relating to all three themes. The mean rating of the conference was 4.5/5 (SD, +/- 0.50) and 4.7/5 (SD, +/- 0.45) by residents and faculty, respectively (Likert scale, 1 to 5). CONCLUSIONS: The pedagogic effectiveness of this conference was attributed to a resident-centered, case-based learning format and a discussion process characterized by noncompetitive interactions among faculty and residents, strong group facilitation by the chief resident, and participation of faculty experts in a nondominant role.

[From the creation to the appreciation of a pedagogic Internet site in anaesthesia and intensive care].

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to conceive, create, validate and assess a pedagogic site to teach students. STUDY DESIGN: Survey with questionnaires. METHODS: First, we performed an educational need assessment in that field, conducting a review of legal regulations and international guidelines and a survey of 91 students. Afterwards, we drew up a reference document based on proven scientific data, with selected bibliography and we wrote a list of specific teaching objectives. We then created a pedagogic Web site including illustrated references, documents, a selected bibliography and useful Internet links. These pedagogic Web sites could be associated to well-conducted tutorial sites by qualified senior physicians in an academic process to improve procedural skill teaching. After internal and external validation, this educational Web site was evaluated by students. This evaluation used the questionnaire proposed by "Régie Régionale de la Santé et des Services Sociaux de Montréal" (regional authority control of health and social services of Montreal). Our pedagogic Web site obtained 76 out of 100 and can be considered satisfactory. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that adapted multimedia tools can improve procedural skill teaching in anaesthesia and intensive care.

Clinical teachers' tacit knowledge of basic pedagogic principles.

Academic faculty members in medical schools rarely receive formal instruction in basic pedagogic principles; nevertheless many develop into competent teachers. Perhaps they acquire tacit knowledge of these principles with teaching experience. This study was designed to assess clinical teachers' tacit knowledge of basic pedagogic principles and concepts. The authors developed a multiple-choice question (MCQ) exam based on 20 pedagogic principles judged by a panel of education experts to be important for clinical teaching. Three groups of clinician-educators sat the test: (1) clinicians with advanced education training and experience; (2) internal medicine specialists; (3) surgical specialists. All four groups of clinicians-educators passed the test, indicating that they possess a reasonable tacit knowledge of basic pedagogic principles. Those with advanced education training performed much better than members of the other two groups while specialists and residents working in teaching hospitals outperformed specialists from non-teaching hospitals. It is possible that converting this tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge may improve individual teaching effectiveness.

Pedagogical knowledge structures in prospective teachers: relationships to performance in a teaching methodology course.

The purpose of the article is to describe the relationships of prospective teachers' pedagogical knowledge structures to performance in a physical education teaching methods class. The Pathfinder network scaling algorithm was used to elicit knowledge structures prior to and after the prospective teachers completed the class. The findings indicated that their knowledge of key pedagogical concepts was more coherent and corresponded more closely to the instructor's following the courses. Student measures of correspondence and coherence before the class were not significantly correlated with course performance; however, following the class, correlations between these measures and course performance were significant. Additionally, university grade point average (GPA) was highly related to course performance variables and knowledge measures, whereas American College Test (ACT) scores were not. A follow-up investigation of a subset of students indicated that key pedagogical concepts were retained over a 6-month period of time. However, performance on a semantic classification task provided little evidence that students with knowledge structures similar to that of the instructor organized knowledge at a more semantic level than students who were less similar. Future directions for the study of pedagogical knowledge acquisition in physical education are discussed.

[Problems and aspects of cooperation between pedagogs, youth health professionals and pediatric neuropsychiatrists in rehabilitation of behavior and achievement disorders in children with normal intelligence].

In those cases where the subjects involved tend to show pathological psychophysical reactions, it is necessary for a cooperative effort to be made by pedagogs, psychologists, and medical experts (pediatricians and pedoneuropsychiatrists). This may be realized by patient-related corrdinative consultations or psychotherapeutic treatment and subsequent individual pedagogic promotion and encouragement depending upon the degree of manifestation and generalization of the disorders. The use of various methods (modified but predominantly pedagogic and directive approaches and chiefly psychological and nondirective methods of treatment, respectively) involve different responsibilities of experts for the process of rehabilitation (in regard to both time and content). Also, the authors show that this is not in contradiction to general objectives of education and training and that every effort is made to reconcile medical and psychological objects with pedagogic requirements.

Pedagogic Strategies Perceived to Enhance Student Learning in Athletic Training Education.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate students' and instructors' educational experiences in Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP)-accredited athletic training education programs and specifically to determine to what extent pedagogic strategies were reflected in students' perceptions of their learning experiences, instructors' perceptions of their teaching, and athletic training course syllabi. DESIGN AND SETTING: Students and instructors currently enrolled in or teaching in 5 university athletic training programs accredited by CAAHEP provided in-depth interviews pertaining to students' educational experiences. Students' educational experiences in CAAHEP-accredited athletic training programs were also examined through current athletic training education course syllabi. SUBJECTS: Twenty-one students (9 males, 12 females) and 12 instructors (7 males, 5 females) were interviewed to examine their perceptions of teaching and learning experiences within their program. MEASUREMENTS: Students' and instructors' perceptions of their educational experiences in CAAHEP-accredited athletic training education programs were analyzed qualitatively using the data-analysis software program NUD*IST. Data from all 3 sources (students' interviews, instructors' interviews, course syllabi) were coded into categories within the NUD*IST program and then triangulated to ensure the authenticity of the findings. RESULTS: Based on the analysis of students' and instructors' interviews and course syllabi, 3 pedagogic strategies were identified that appeared to facilitate athletic training education in CAAHEP-accredited programs: use of scenarios and case studies, authentic experiences, and a positive educational environment. CONCLUSIONS: Students and instructors in CAAHEP-accredited athletic training education programs recognize and value specific pedagogic theories of teaching and learning and achievement motivation in students' educational experiences. Specific educational themes identified across athletic training instructors, students, and programs are outlined. All athletic training educators should take an interest in understanding what students and instructors in CAAHEP-accredited athletic training programs view as helpful pedagogic practices within their educational experiences.

A follow-up study of EEG coherences in children with different pedagogical evaluations.

A follow-up study on EEG coherence values was carried out with 46 school-age children divided into three pedagogical groups considering their reading and writing abilities (normal subject and children with mild and with serious reading-writing problems). EEGs were recorded at rest, with eyes closed in 15 referential derivations that gave 105 possible coherence values. Coherence was calculated after the elimination of the average reference. Repeated Measure ANOVAs were calculated to evaluate the effects of time, sex, reading-writing problems and their interactions. The second EEG recordings were taken 2-3 years after the first. The results revealed significant increase of coherence values during the time lapse studied, consisting of an increase of frontal coherences in all bands, with the exception of the theta band. The most numerous changes occurred in the alpha band. Very few differences in coherence values were observed between the two EEG recordings by pedagogical groups and by sex suggesting a similar but not igual maturation of coherences of boys and girls and of the three pedagogical groups, in this age range studied. These findings suggests an abnormal coherence development for the reading disabled group, as well as different coherence maturation for boys and girls in this time lapse studied.

Teaching physiology by combined passive (pedagogical) and active (andragogical) methods.

Pedagogy and andragogy are models of education based, respectively, on passive and active learning. This project compared two balanced sections of an undergraduate course in physiology. Both sections used the pedagogical method of didactic lectures to present basic material. Students in section 01 were given multiple-choice examinations, a pedagogical procedure, over the lecture content for the purpose of performance evaluation. In section 02 the lectures were used as an information source, which students combined with other information researched in the library to draft essays on assigned topics, i.e., an andragogical approach. Grading of the essays constituted 75% of a student's performance evaluation, with participation in class discussions making up the remaining 25%. There was no significant difference in overall performance outcome between the two sections (P > 0.47). Students from both sections valued the lectures, even though they served a different purpose in each section. However, overall the student rating of section 02 was significantly higher than that of section 01 (P < or = 0.05). This reflected different teaching methods rather than different teachers, because the ratings of the two instructors were virtually identical (P > 0.98). These results suggest that a combined pedagogical and andragogical approach is an acceptable model for teaching introductory physiology.

[Evaluation and design of a political-pedagogical project for nursing undergraduate programs].

This work presents the results of an experience which aimed primarily at the evaluation of the Political-Pedagogical Project--PPP of the nursing undergraduate program from UNIOESTE (Cascavel town Campus) and at pondering on a new curricular proposal for that program. Thus, a research project was designed to be used by all professors teaching that program, with the participation of students, former students, and professionals working on the health care delivery network, where field work can be carried out through practical activities and training periods for the students. The data gathered by them have been used as subsidies for a proposal to build a new political-pedagogical project, that was took effect in the year 2003. Besides designing a new pedagogical proposal, strategies for a continued evaluation of the PPP implantation process have been defined. This evaluation is to be performed at the end of each term.

[Integral analysis of the pedagogical practices of an educational program in Colombia].

OBJECTIVE: To present a portion of a study aimed at evaluating the effects and impact of education and processes explained from the actors' point of view and relating to an educative proposal that is based on knowledge dialogues from the Growth and Development Program in the city of Medellin, Colombia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An evaluative, multiple case research study was carried out. RESULTS: Among the study results is the finding that, even though health educators were familiar with and committed to the educative process, they applied pedagogical practices that were related to the pedagogical model they wanted to change. This constitutes the theme of this article. CONCLUSIONS: These results are explained using an ecological model that contains three levels: context, rationality and pedagogical practices. The transformation of the educator is identified as a central element in health education based on a different paradigm, as well as the complexity of such transformation.

[A participating study on the didactic-pedagogical education of nursing teachers].

Through the participant-research framework, this collective study was carried out by a group of faculty nurses responsible for the course of Nursing Fundamentals at Londrina State University. Considering the discussion that emerged from the participative process and based on the Historical-Critical Pedagogy, the most relevant concepts and pedagogic practices were selected, through the presentation and discussion of the following categories: Goals, Contents, Methodology and Evaluation. Authors concluded that the reflections emerged by and with the group about pedagogic aspects effected the performance of the involved faculty as well as that the collective process must be continuous in order to support the pedagogic development of these professionals, who are educational agents concerned with the improvement of nurses' formation.
