Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: to construct an item bank to measure risk self-medication and assess its content validity. Method: this is a methodological study carried out from May to October 2022, with two phases: 1) item bank elaboration in the light of medication literacy and Theory of Planned Behavior based on a scoping review; and 2) content validity by twenty-two health experts. The Content Validity Index, Content Validity Ratio, binomial exact test for small samples and intraclass correlation coefficient were calculated. Results: Risk Self-Medication construct item elaboration was based on a broad review of solidified national and international publications in the health area. The definitions were approved by judges, with their respective domains. In the first version, the bank contained 136 items. Two rounds of analysis were carried out with judges, which resulted in the removal of 87 items. The final version presented 49 items, distributed across three domains: Medication literacy; Behavioral intention; and Behavior. The total Content Validity Index was 0.89, with excellent reliability (0.964). There was significant disagreement in the attribution of scores among judges (p>0.05) in some items. Conclusion: the item bank has satisfactory content. It is recommended to undergo semantic analysis and subsequent structure validity.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: to verify the impact of digital educational strategies on nursing professionals’ adherence to patient identification as well as the acceptance of these strategies by professionals. Method: this is a pre and post-intervention pilot study developed in a public teaching hospital in a city in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, carried out between March and September 2022, in three phases: 1) pre-intervention - audits of identification wristband at the bedside, elaboration and planning of educational strategies; 2) intervention - short-term online training offered to nursing professionals; 3) post-intervention - repeat audits. For comparative analysis between phases, Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used with a significance level of 5%. Results: a total of 166 beds were audited with a high rate of adherence to the use of identification wristbands, in accordance with standards, and the presence of identification plates (> 80%) both in the pre- and post-intervention period, with a significant increase in patients who identified that professionals checked wristband (p=0.0410) during care. Participants positively assessed the strategies used, although low adherence to training was recorded. Conclusion: there was a positive impact on adherence to patient identification, but management and motivational strategies will be necessary to enable future actions to implement online training.

Published: April 2024

Abstract Introduction: It is a fact that the pedagogical advancements in professional healthcare education have not resulted in better quality of care. However, healthcare work as a source for a preceptor’s education and awareness as an educator-healthcare provider rises as a path to follow. Design: Based on the involvement in daily work activities, a preceptor offers teaching opportunities; plans, controls and guides the process; stimulates the student’s reasoning and active attitude; performs technical procedures; moderates case discussions; observes, assesses a student performing their activities and analyzes their performance; advises and supervises a student’s professional and personal growth; collaborates in the identification of ethical problems and their possible solutions; and sets limits and creates possibilities for the use of artificial intelligence. Conclusion: A preceptor - a clinical teacher - turns the work environment into appropriate educational moments to provide better healthcare to the population.

Authors: Reis Bruna Mendanha , Coelho Beatriz de Castro Carvalho , Cortez Paulo José Oliveira
Published: April 2024

Resumo Introdução: Uma significativa parcela dos estudantes de Medicina considera a neuroanatomia um conteúdo de difícil compreensão, muitas vezes desprovido de aplicações práticas devido à sua extensa e monótona apresentação. Além disso, ao longo das últimas décadas, houve uma redução no tempo dedicado à apresentação teórica da neuroanatomia. Corroborando tal afirmativa, durante a pandemia de Covid-19, observou-se um distanciamento crescente entre professores e alunos, o que, por sua vez, agravou ainda mais os desafios no ensino da disciplina. Objetivo: Este estudo possui como objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura no intuito de explorar estratégias para aperfeiçoamento do ensino da neuroanatomia no curso superior de Medicina. Método: Para atingir esse objetivo, os subscritores efetivaram uma pesquisa integrativa de artigos publicados sobre estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem de neuroanatomia para estudantes de Medicina no período entre 1º de janeiro de 2000 e 26 de maio de 2023. Para obtenção de tais dados, os autores utilizaram três bases de dados - PubMed, SciELO e BVS -, empregando os seguintes descritores e o operador booleano “AND” em ambos os idiomas (português e inglês): “ensino”, “aprendizagem”, “neuroanatomia”, “estudantes de medicina”, “learning”, “teaching”, “neuroanatomy” e “medical students”. Resultado: A revisão da literatura revelou uma crescente exploração de novas abordagens de ensino e aprendizado em neuroanatomia, destacando-se o uso de tecnologias como realidade virtual, cursos de neuroanatomia assistidos por computadores, modelos anatômicos de argila e a aplicação de estudos de casos clínicos. Conclusão: Nota-se nos últimos anos um notável surgimento de novas estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem no cenário acadêmico, que, por sua vez, visam aprimorar o conhecimento e a experiência dos alunos nos mais variados campos, inclusive na neuroanatomia.

Published: April 2024

RESUMO Scripts de Gênero e as Performances das Crianças que Reverberam no Contexto da Educação Infantil – A partir dos Estudos de Gênero e da Sociologia da Infância, o artigo busca compreender e analisar as estratégias que as crianças estabelecem para lidar com os scripts de gênero que lhes são endereçados no cotidiano da educação infantil. Os resultados da análise mostram que elas buscam modos mais plurais de vivenciar suas experiências como meninas e meninos, ainda que sejam educadas a partir de concepções binárias que tentam impor um reiterado governo dos corpos infantis. A pesquisa, de inspiração etnográfica, foi desenvolvida a partir da observação participante com crianças de quatro anos de idade em uma escola pública de educação infantil na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre/RS/Brasil.

Published: April 2024

Resumo Interessada na compreensão do reconhecimento artístico de Maurício de Sousa, parto da análise da cidade de São Paulo como um locus de produção artística importante para o desenvolvimento de uma comunidade de artistas dedicados aos quadrinhos. O mapeamento urbano da atuação de Maurício de Sousa matiza as formas com as quais a sua atuação dentro da imprensa paulista foi enriquecida pelo convívio com jovens profissionais que, engajados na ampla defesa dos quadrinhos como forma de arte, encabeçaram iniciativas de incentivo à produção de quadrinhos brasileira. Nesse sentido, também tenho como enfoque a forma com a qual os círculos sociais de Maurício de Sousa deram novo sentido à cidade de São Paulo, animando o estabelecimento de uma vivência artística coletiva.
PERSONALIDADES EXTRAORDINÁRIAS NAS CRÍTICAS TEATRAIS DE DECIO DE ALMEIDA PRADO
Authors: Santos Kelly Pedroza
Published: April 2024

Resumo Decio de Almeida Prado foi um dos mais importantes críticos teatrais brasileiros e figura relevante da modernização do teatro no país. O tema das personalidades se vincula à posição de Prado acerca do anacronismo do “velho teatro”, caracterizado por diversas ausências, como direção e cenografia enquanto atividades especializadas, as quais conviviam com um excesso de presença: os grandes atores, que dotados de talento e personalidade marcantes sobrepunham-se a todo o resto e, principalmente, ao elemento central para Prado, o texto da peça. Destacaremos as análises de Prado sobre os atores, ora associando-os a um talento inato, ora acusando-os de acomodação. Essas considerações estendem-se, ainda, a figuras da modernização como Cacilda Becker e Ziembinski. No caso dos atores, Prado mobiliza um expediente que demonstra afinidade com o ideal de Bildung . Já nas análises sobre Ziembinski, é possível uma aproximação com a noção de artista individualista desenvolvida por Mário de Andrade.
A captura da subjetividade de bancários como tecnologia gerencial: estudo de um instrumento de avaliação de desempenho
Authors: Guerra André
Published: April 2024

Resumo Introdução: a dominação sobre os trabalhadores na fase neoliberal do capitalismo se desloca da sujeição dos corpos para o controle da subjetividade. Entre as tecnologias gerenciais que auxiliam esse processo, estão os instrumentos de avaliação de desempenho. Pela centralidade do sistema financeiro na sociedade capitalista, é em empresas desse ramo que costumam ocorrer inovações tecnológicas com maior potencial para se disseminar por toda a sociedade. Objetivo: para identificar a racionalidade subjacente a essas tecnologias, neste artigo estudamos o instrumento de avaliação de desempenho utilizado por um banco privado brasileiro. Métodos: foi realizada uma análise documental do manual explicativo do instrumento. Resultados: o instrumento, por meio de um algoritmo matemático e do uso de avaliação 360 graus, por um lado, determina um percentual mínimo de trabalhadores com desempenho insatisfatório, e, por outro, limita a porcentagem máxima de trabalhadores que poderão atingir o mais alto desempenho. Desse modo, os trabalhadores são estimulados permanentemente a concorrerem entre si para ocuparem posições predeterminadas. Conclusão: identificamos no instrumento um paradigma ilustrativo da racionalidade gerencial subjacente às mais diversas tecnologias gerenciais que, por meio do fomento à concorrência generalizada entre os trabalhadores, contribuem para um ambiente de trabalho adoecedor.
O coração no yoga: um estudo hermenêutico sobre a ontologia das upaniṣad’s
Authors: Pereira Léo Fernandes , Tesser Charles Dalcanale
Published: April 2024

RESUMO O yoga vem passando por um processo de transformações e conformação à racionalidade médico-científica chamado ‘medicalização do yoga’, com afastamento das reflexões acerca do ser presentes na sua fonte védica. Orientado por uma tradição hermenêutica indiana, este ensaio investigou sentidos para os termos hṛdayam (‘coração’) e yoga, frente à atual inserção desta última no âmbito da prevenção cardiovascular. Na tradição védica, o coração possui significado distinto do órgão médico: o termo também é utilizado para se referir ao 1) intelecto e ao 2) locus do Eu (ātmā). Entre outros significados, yoga é visto como um artifício cognitivo que visa à discriminação entre o real e o aparente. Nessa tradição, a saúde do coração aponta mais para uma condição existencial – da ignorância do Eu – e seus efeitos (egotismo, aversões, desejos etc.) do que para os fatores de risco cardiovascular explorados nas pesquisas e nos cuidados clínicos. Tal visão poderia servir como prevenção quaternária aos efeitos adversos da introjeção e reificação dos fatores de risco, e aponta para outra direção na compreensão e atuação do yoga nos serviços de saúde, destacando a importância de aprofundar reflexões filosóficas sobre o yoga e outras práticas integrativas e complementares presentes no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).
Intellectuals and language games: the discourse on Primary Education at the First National Education Conference (1927)
Authors: Vieira Carlos Eduardo
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT This article has as its object the educational discourse enunciated in the First National Conference on Education (I CNE), organized by the Brazilian Association of Education (BAE), whose central theme was primary education. We start from the premise that BAE and its conferences were privileged places to project an intelligentsia authorized to talk about the problems of national education. The sources used refer to documents related to BAE and the I CNE, with emphasis on the 113 theses presented and discussed at the event. Regarding methodology, we have opted for an interlocution with the history of intellectuals and intellectual history, especially the contributions of linguistic contextualism to understand the language practiced in the I CNE. In the conclusions, we characterize educational discourse as a complex language, which has at its horizon the combination of concepts derived from the medical-sanitarian, civic-nationalist and religious discourses.
La secundaria rural en debate: un análisis de implementación del PROMERII en Entre Ríos (Argentina)
Authors: Schmuck María Emilia
Published: April 2024

Resumen Analizamos el Proyecto de Mejoramiento de la Educación Rural (PROMER) en el contexto de extensión del nivel medio en espacios rurales en Argentina, considerando especialmente la implementación de los Proyectos de Base Local en la provincia de Entre Ríos a partir del funcionamiento del PROMER II entre 2016 y 2020. Partimos de reconocer diferentes escalas –internacional, nacional, provincial, local– de conformación de la política y desde un enfoque etnográfico analizamos documentos, realizamos entrevistas a trabajadoras estatales, participamos de reuniones de trabajo y realizamos trabajo de campo en la cotidianeidad de escuelas del norte entrerriano. Identificamos tensiones entre el origen de la política con financiamiento internacional –vinculado con programas compensatorios a nivel global que dieron origen a políticas nacionales desde la década de 1990–, la posterior consolidación de políticas educativas universales en el marco de las cuales se inicia la implementación del PROMER en Argentina y demandas provinciales y locales de políticas y referentes específicos para atender las particularidades de las escuelas secundarias rurales en Entre Ríos. A su vez, a partir de esta demanda local de políticas que atiendan a la especificidad de las instituciones, identificamos que la definición de escuela secundaria rural y, con ello, de ruralidad, se encuentra en discusión.
Da interrupção à experimentação e transformação: formação pedagógica de professores do ensino superior em Portugal
Authors: Gonçalves Teresa N. R. , Alves Mariana Gaio
Published: April 2024

Resumo Neste artigo, apresentamos uma pesquisa que discute a pluralidade de significados que podem caracterizar a pedagogia e o trabalho docente no ensino superior, explorando os possíveis efeitos de uma modalidade específica de formação de professores de ensino superior em Portugal. Ao reconhecer que a pedagogia não pode ser entendida como uma questão meramente técnica, implicando uma reflexão mais geral e ampla sobre o ensino superior, entendemos a ação docente no seu sentido ético, político e estético, explorando o sentido (ou falta dele) do que acontece em educação em detrimento de uma visão explicativa e normativa. Na análise dos portfólios individuais desenvolvidos pelos formandos no decorrer do curso, identificamos dois eixos que foram se configurando como fundamentais para pensar a forma como a proposta de formação impactou nos seus participantes no que diz respeito às questões pedagógicas: movimentos de transformação ao nível das concepções e das práticas; e a criação de dinâmicas de experimentação tanto no âmbito da formação como no contexto das práticas desenvolvidas nas instituições e nos quotidianos profissionais de cada um dos participantes. Cabe destacar que um dos aspectos mais interessantes da leitura e análise dos exercícios de escrita presentes nos portfólios reside, precisamente, na possibilidade de acompanhar esses movimentos de transformação e experimentação, e ainda o modo como a partir deles se constitui um espaço de estudo coletivo, uma comunidade de estudo. A partir da análise dos dois eixos referidos, damos conta da forma como essa dimensão coletiva da proposta de formação emerge dos relatos dos seus participantes.
Escola pública e discurso meritocrático: propostas da reforma do ensino médio e expectativas dos estudantes
Authors: Gonçalves Danyelle Nilin , Lima Filho Irapuan Peixoto , Santos Harlon Romariz Rabelo
Published: April 2024

Resumo Este artigo propõe fazer uma discussão geral sobre a reforma do ensino médio, refletindo em que medida alguns conteúdos e algumas práticas propostas convergem para conceitos e discursos de base individualista e meritocrática, já presentes no ambiente da escola pública, mas reforçados por essas mudanças. A partir de um conjunto amplo de pesquisas realizadas entre 2019 e 2022, busca-se captar percepções meritocráticas para estudantes e egressos de escolas públicas cearenses. Os dados e a discussão sobre a reflexividade permitem verificar que há entre os jovens estudantes da escola média uma considerável expectativa por uma vida educacional e futura que proporcione estabilidade e condições sociais desejáveis. Essa expectativa, no entanto, caminha junto a uma massificada adesão ao discurso meritocrático e individualista em geral, com baixa reflexão sobre os condicionantes sociais. Os relatos e dados indicam que os agentes desse universo – professores e colegas – são atores significativos no processo de construção dessa visão. Contudo, faz-se necessário pensar sobre um possível descompasso entre expectativas dos jovens e realidade formativa proporcionada pelo novo ensino médio. Em um momento de expansão do ensino superior e da intensificação das dinâmicas econômicas baseadas no conhecimento, o papel da escola torna-se ainda mais central para garantir uma formação adequada, completa e que não produza ainda maiores distâncias educacionais entre diferentes grupos sociais, sobretudo no já grave contexto brasileiro de desigualdades sociais e educacionais.

Abstract— India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is the lighthouse whose luminance guides our unrevealed paths, and it is ‘Philosophy’ who acts like the backbone who holds the entire structure of NEP 2020 in a single unit. Critical thinking will make its presence felt when it has a ‘philosophical backing’. Understanding the views of our contemporary Indian philosophers like Sri Aurobindo, the process of holistic learning is of utmost importance. This study focuses on the process of experiential learning rather than only targeting the achievement of the goal using a game-based approach. A traditional Brainvita game is modified using priority called ‘Priority based Brainvita’ to increase the complexity level of the gaming rules but maintain simplicity in the execution. The analysis of the activities in the study showcases how ‘expert’ versus ‘beginner’ Brainvita players show different attitudes, behavior and skill learning as dynamic situations arise on the game board. After the game-based development of critical thinking, a maze creation activity performed by the students which display how rules in algorithms and tasks can be generated. From the Artificial Intelligence perspective, Priority based Brainvita will enhance the ‘algorithm generation’ capacity in the students along with identifying rules in a game and correct strategies to achieve winning outcomes. Keywords— Algorithm; Brainvita; Critical-thinking; NEP 2020; Philosophy; Priority.

Abstract—Contemporary engineering education faces multifaceted challenges, stemming from the dynamic essence of the discipline, the expanse of knowledge acquisition demanded of students, and the inundation of information availability. Nurturing well-rounded graduates necessitates not only a profound grasp of their chosen domain but also adeptness in troubleshooting complex issues. Synthesizing theoretical erudition, hands-on proficiencies, and computerized applications tailored to bolster diverse facets of projects—encompassing drafting, designing, tridimensional visualization, and analysis—constitutes a pivotal facet of the engineering curriculum. Noteworthy achievements have been recorded by individuals irrespective of their formal educational background, underscoring the potentiality of knowledge garnered from conventional schooling or alternative avenues. While the knowledge drawn from textbooks and didactic sessions falls under the aegis of theoretical comprehension, practical acumen is honed through immersive engagement with real-world predicaments. Both realms of knowledge bear significance, necessitating holistic appreciation. The principal objective herein resides in fortifying engineering students' grasp of their specialized subjects, achieved through hands-on pedagogical interventions. This endeavor probes the import of infusing interactive classroom engagements and pragmatic on-site sojourns into engineering training regimens, synergistically empowered by software aids. The vantage point embraced is that of the students, examining the perceived value of such integrated approaches.

Abstract— Educational institutions must manually evaluate student's performance, which requires a significant amount of faculty time and effort. Teachers can easily monitor and document student's learning behavior if they utilize a learning management system (LMS). It can be utilized by coaching sessions or educational institutions to quickly analyze student's performance. Due to the enormous number of pupils, huge data must be analyzed; teachers frequently encounter challenges. The qualities of learners who are students are described analytically in this analysis. In this work, student's cognitive and psychomotor skills are predicted and visualized using Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and Machine Learning techniques like KNN and Multiple Regressions. The maximum accuracy of 99% has been obtained in Multiple Regression. Keywords—Analytics; Education; Learning Management System; Performance; Students;

Abstract— The scope of the Conceive, Design, Implement, and Operate (CDIO) framework is to help the learner attain higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in their courses. But most of the theory and practical courses offered in academic institutions are of a low-order thinking level. In outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL), in order to achieve the graduate attribute of critical thinking, the learner needs to design and do the experiment and also be able to analyze and provide inferences about the data. Most laboratory courses offered in engineering colleges have an application level. To improve the course outcome from apply to analyze level, integrating a component of experiment analysis is required in the laboratory courses, which helps the students achieve higher-order thinking skills. An electrical laboratory course is given to the second semester students with the conventional experiments of machines at the application level. In order to inculcate analyzing skills, a case study of introducing a simple statistical analyzing tool based on MS-Excel in an experiment called ‘load test on a 3-phase induction motor using variable frequency drive (VFD)’ is presented in this paper. It was found from the laboratory assessment that the students using this analysis and visualization tool for interpreting the results scored well compared to the previous year's students. Keywords— Higher order thinking skills (HOTS); outcome based teaching and learning (OBTL); variable frequency Drive (VFD); ANOVA.

Abstract— Data visualization is a powerful tool for communicating complex and multidimensional information in an effective and engaging way. However, creating effective data visualizations requires not only technical skills, but also critical thinking skills to select, analyze, and interpret data. In this paper, we propose an inquiry-based active learning pedagogy approach to heighten learners’ critical thinking skills for the course Data Visualization Analytics. We describe the design and implementation of a series of learning activities that involve learners in posing questions, collecting and exploring data, creating and presenting visualizations, and reflecting on their learning outcomes by collecting survey questions from 76 students. We also present the results of a mixed-methods evaluation of the approach, which involved all 76 undergraduate students from Kalasalingam Academy of Research and Education (Deemed to be University) in Tamilnadu, India. The evaluation showed that the approach improved learners’ critical thinking skills, as measured by a pre-and post-test, and enhanced their engagement and satisfaction with the course, as indicated by a survey and interviews with four input parameters and one output parameter. We discuss the implications of our findings for the data visualization analytics course and suggest directions for students' efficacy by applying regression and correlation analysis.

Abstract— In Outcome-Based Education (OBE) use of active learning (AL) techniques is the need of time to engage students and to ensure achievement of course outcomes. AL is a teaching technique in which the students' learning remains at its center and focuses on how students learn rather than what they learn. Several AL techniques like think-pair-share, flipped classroom, jigsaw, gallery walk, poster presentation etc. are being practiced for achieving effective learning and enhancing students’ performance. However, no much study has been reported in the literature on learning strategies that facilitate students learning effectively. In view of this, in the present paper an attempt is done to carry out a comparative study on using two different AL techniques viz. gallery walk (GW) and poster presentation (PP) to know their effectiveness with regard to the performance of First Year B.Tech. students in End Semester Examination (ESE) of the course ‘Basics of Civil Engineering’ (BCE). Specific topics that were difficult for understanding were taught by implementing GW and PP methods and the CO attainment results are compared with the traditional (TRAD) method. Results indicate that by implementing AL techniques (GW and PP), CO attainment gets increased by approximately more than 2.72 times the CO attainment achieved by TRAD method. However, implementing PP technique causes a little increase (~4.60%) in CO attainment over GW technique. Study concludes that GW and PP techniques contributes in improving students’ performance, encourages them for active engagement and also increases the retention levels in their learning.
