DEVELOPMENT OF CAREER MANAGEMENT SKILLS OF NEW PODOLOGISTS FOR WORK IN A MULTICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
2017
Because of the affections of globalization process and because of the changes in social-political situation in world, multicultural environment in Latvia is also changing. Latvia becomes more and more attractive for foreign citizens from Europe the same as for citizens from elsewhere, that choose to settle down here permanently or only for a period of time. That is considerable challenge for education and healthcare.
 Workers in field of medicine, and podologs as well, must guide their professional carreer development in mutable multicultural environment. That is why needs of joung specialists are changing too-with knowledge, skills and competencies necessary in proffession, specialist…
Encouraging and verifying critical thinking skills through the reading process
2017
La competenza di lettura è un punto di partenza imprescindibile per migliorare abilità di analisi, valutazione, sintesi, interessate pure nella promozione della competenza digitale. Questo lavoro si propone di accertare la validità di un percorso formativo incentrato sull’uso di strategie di lettura per lo sviluppo del pensiero critico. Ci si chiede soprattutto se e come leggere testi usando il formato elettronico favorisca nello studente attività di interpretazione, formulazione di giudizi ed espressione di idee originali. Nella prima parte del lavoro è presentato l’oggetto di studio. Nella seconda parte è descritta la metodologia di ricerca, che mette in pratica le risultanze scientifiche…
Using Multi-touch Multi-user Interactive Walls for Collaborative Active Learning
2019
Active learning has been advocated for enhancing students’ higher order cognition in social constructivist learning settings. However, with the increasing use of student-owned computing devices in face-to-face classrooms, there are risks of limited student-student interactions. Students are likely to be distracted by non-academic activities, hence becoming inactive with regards to the learning tasks. This article presents a technology enhanced learning approach, in which students perform group learning tasks using shared digital workspace while in a physical classroom. The workspace comprises of a 9-m wide screen wall with multi-touch, multi-user interfaces supporting multimodal interaction…
Developing education students' conceptions of the learning process in different learning environments
1997
Abstract Changes in conceptions of the learning process of 31 educational psychology students were examined in a constructivist and in a traditional learning environment. The study was carried out in a course which dealt with theories of learning and development and consisted of three text books. At the beginning of the course all students wrote a short essay, “My conception of learning”, after which the participants were divided in two groups. The traditional learning group studied the books individually, listened to the lectures and took an exam while the constructive learning group worked with different writing assignments, discussed the topics in groups and wrote an extensive essay inst…
High-fidelity simulation among bachelor students in simulation groups and use of different roles.
2013
Cost limitations might challenge the use of high-fidelity simulation as a teaching-learning method. This article presents the results of a Norwegian project including two simulation studies in which simulation teaching and learning were studied among students in the second year of a three-year bachelor nursing programme. The students were organised into small simulation groups with different roles; nurse, physician, family member and observer. Based on experiences in different roles, the students evaluated the simulation design characteristics and educational practices used in the simulation. In addition, three simulation outcomes were measured; knowledge (learning), Student Satisfaction an…
Violence Through Words: Cultural Aspects and Performative Agency
2020
This chapter aims at describing the ways and ploys used by words (in the various public and private contexts where they define relations) conveying a form of symbolic violence aimed at classifying genders as they play out their respective identity roles. To this end, the author refers to “euphemized discourse” (Bourdieu, 1993) and the concept of “agency” (Duranti, Etnopragmatica. La forza nel parlare. Carocci Editore, Rome, Italy, 2007) in order to describe the process of naturalization of discursive practices geared towards affirmation of the androcentric system of language. Here, a variant of Mediterranean culture which remains patriarchal and sexist is examined by means of discourse anal…
2020
Critical evaluation skills when using online information are considered important in many research and education frameworks; critical thinking and information literacy are cited as key twenty-first century skills for students. Higher education may play a special role in promoting students' skills in critically evaluating (online) sources. Today, higher education students are more likely to use the Internet instead of offline sources such as textbooks when studying for exams. However, far from being a value-neutral, curated learning environment, the Internet poses various challenges, including a large amount of incomplete, contradictory, erroneous, and biased information. With low barriers t…
EXCERCISING CRITICAL THINKING THROUGH READING: AN EDUCATIONAL USE OF DIGITAL TEXTS
2016
Questo lavoro si propone di accertare la validità di un percorso formativo incentrato sull’uso della lettura del testo digitale in rapporto allo sviluppo del pensiero critico. Un obiettivo fondamentale da tenere presente nella scuola, a vari livelli, riguarda l’esercizio della capacità critica. La diffusione delle tecnologie tra i nostri giovani provoca una cospicua quantità di stimoli conoscitivi che necessitano di decodifica, attribuzione di senso ed elaborazione costruttiva delle informazioni; i ragazzi devono potenziare abilità che non riguardano soltanto l'uso degli strumenti digitali, ma devono imparare a selezionare ed interpretare i dati, a gestire e valutare le informazioni trovate…
Escritura y ciudad en María Zambrano : reencuentro de una amistad perdida tras la derrota sufrida
2015
En este trabajo abordamos la reflexión que sobre el acto del escribir y la escritura realiza María Zambrano en sus escritos "Del escribir" y "Por qué se escribe", para relacionarlos con uno de los espacios más importantes para la pensadora: la ciudad. Aunque Zambrano no desarrolló una "teoría" sobre la ciudad propiamente dicha, su significado e imagen se encuentran en gran parte de su obra. La escritura, como logos que existe físicamente en el mundo, construye la ciudad: ese lugar de la palabra y de la libre expresión que nos protege. Una ciudad que parece derrotada ante la desaparición del pensamiento creativo, no instrumental, en el espacio público y que exige su reencuentro.
Technology-Supported Guidance Models Stimulating the Development of Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Systematic R…
2020
BackgroundCritical thinking is an essential skill that nursing students need to develop. Technological tools have opened new avenues for technology-supported guidance models, but the challenges and facilitators of such guidance models, as well as how they stimulate the development of critical thinking, remain unclear.ObjectiveWe developed a protocol for a mixed methods systematic review to investigate the use of technology-supported guidance models that stimulate the development of critical thinking in nursing education clinical practice.MethodsA convergent integrated design following the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Evidence Synthesis will be employed. A pair of authors will select t…
