The development of reflective learning in the context of health counselling and health promotion during nurse education.
2001
The development of reflective learning in the context of health counselling and health promotion during nurse education Aims and background. The purpose of this follow-up study was to describe the development of reflective learning of 16 student nurses in the context of health counselling and promotion during clinical training of a 3-year nursing education programme in two Finnish polytechnics. The first aim was to analyse the levels of reflectivity in the student nurses’ reflections on their videotaped counselling situations. The second aim was to explore the qualitative features of the reflective health counselling learning process in the context of health promotion. The theoretical backg…
Ecosistemas locales de aprendizaje ante la globalización tecnológica. Retos de los modelos educativos digitales pospandemia
2021
La educación frente a la covid-19 ha puesto en práctica una infinidad de respuestas, todas urgentes, tentativas, generadas por ensayo y por error, y todavía pendientes de validación. Para comprender mejor el impacto de estas respuestas, el presente artículo defiende, partiendo de la teoría de los ecosistemas de aprendizaje, la necesidad de investigar cómo han influido las tecnologías de ámbito global en la construcción de experiencias locales de aprendizaje. Además, pone de manifiesto la necesidad de estudiar qué tipo de apoyo tanto teórico como práctico se requiere para reconducir los posibles efectos nocivos de la introducción de la tecnología de emergencia. A tal efecto, se describen las…
Non-naturalistic Neuroethics for Moral Neuroeducation
2019
The aim of this chapter is to examine a series of key approaches towards identifying an appropriate neuroethics for moral neuroeducation. I begin by highlighting the shortcomings of neuroeducation models that side-line ethical issues. Neuroscience has contributed decisively to the knowledge of the brain mechanisms involved in teaching and learning processes. However, often only one form of learning, that based on instrumental subjects (mathematical calculation or reading), is taken into account. Undoubtedly, neuroeducational advances in this area have been very beneficial, but by focusing on education in strictly instrumental terms, the principles and ethical values that should structure ed…
Everyday Discourses on Disability: A barrier to successful disability policy?
2006
Concerning the role of everyday discourses on disability in the realiza- tion of disability policy, this qualitative study focuses on the problematic meanings of disability and of being disabled in 45 fictional texts about a disabled woman and man (21/24) written by non-disabled graduate students and welfare professionals. The traditional individualising un- derstanding of disability was dominant in the discourses of the texts, especially in those about the disabled women which also repeated oth- ering discourses. The socio-environmental understanding was echoed as well, but mainly in the texts about the disabled men. I discuss the possible practical consequences of the polarised and gender…
The Pedagogical Solution: Freire’s Critical Pedagogy and Social Democracy
2016
‘A critical [educational] process is driven and justified by mutuality. This ethic of mutual development’, argued Ira Shor (2009) in the context of his analysis of Freire’s dialogic pedagogy, ‘can be thought as of a Freirean addition to the Vygotskyan one’ (p. 291). As this quote suggests, the aim of this chapter is to describe the essential feature of Paulo Freire’s solution to the conundrum that Lev Vygotsky’s framework stumbled upon. While Shor’s sentence hits the target, it relies on a widespread opinion among education scholars, who tend to emphasize the ethical component of critical pedagogy in general and Freire’s project in particular (Darder, 2009; Flores-Kastaris et al., 2009). In…
