Comparison of Faculty and Student Perceptions of Videos in the Online Classroom
Authors: Valenti Elizabeth , Feldbush Tennille , Mandernach Jean
Published: August 2021

While instructors and students generally value the integration of videos in the online classroom, there are a number of practical considerations that may mediate the utility of videos as a teaching and learning tool. The current survey examines faculty and student perceptions of videos in the online classroom with an emphasis on the practical factors that influence video integration. Results indicate differences in faculty and student acceptance and endorsements of videos for content presentation compared to assignment feedback. Faculty desire more opportunities to interact with their students (i.e., video-based discussions, video-conferencing, and student-generated videos) and highlighted efficiency as a key consideration. Students emphasized a desire for multiple opportunities to engage with course material; while students value text-based resources, they also want to have options to learn and interact via video and audio. Key to student recommendations is an awareness of the time involved to engage with online videos. Discussion highlights practical approaches to maximize the value and utility of videos in the online classroom.

Published: August 2021

The aim of this study was to examine pharmacy students’ experiences of a small ACT-based intervention that was implemented as a 7-week course with weekly online modules. Students’ well-being, experiences of stress, organised studying and psychological flexibility were measured with questionnaires at the beginning and end of the course. Students’ experiences of how the course affected their studying were analysed from open-ended responses and a reflective journal. The results show that students’ well-being and time and effort management increased during the course. Students experienced that the course affected their studying in various ways. This study showed that it is possible to foster students’ well-being and study skills with an online intervention course. More research is needed to identify the long-lasting effects of these kind of interventions.
Developing a peer supported feedback model that enhances oral proficiency in French
Authors: Bedford Simon , Bissoonauth Anu , James Klem , Stace Ray
Published: August 2021

This article investigates the process of development for a novel online peer-supported approach that enhances oral proficiency in French at an Australian university to cope with ever more complex challenges. These challenges include students with mixed ability in the same class, reduced teaching resources and student surveys identifying a lack of speaking practice affecting confidence and performance in oral assessments. A related aim of the present study was to facilitate assessment literacy of our students by encouraging them to make links between the skills practised in class and the requirements for the final oral summative assessment. Methodology draws on educational practice influenced by a social constructivist approach to develop a learning model using online peer feedback, where more advanced learners support less experienced peers outside the formal classroom. Preliminary results reveal that although the model was deemed to be ‘generally effective’ in enhancing speaking skills and developing a better understanding of assessment literacy, it needs to enable learners to build their meta-skills across the three-year degree program to be truly effective. The conclusion explores further development and expansion of the learning approach across the French undergraduate program and makes future recommendations.

Published: August 2021

This study aimed to investigate the impact of the flipped classroom model on students’ self-efficacy and the difference in self-efficacy between males and females using this model. In order to accomplish this, 66 advanced participants were selected from a private English language institute. They were divided into two equal groups, namely experimental (flipped classroom) and control (traditional) group. The students’ self-efficacy was scored before and after the intervention with the Self-Efficacy Survey. The results indicated an increase in their average self-efficacy score with the flipped classroom while the traditional classroom decreased their average score. When the genders were analyzed separately, the males demonstrated a decrease in self-efficacy while the females indicated an increase while utilizing the flipped classroom. In light of these results, some recommendations have been made.

Authors: Sarmiento Celina , Morales Marie Paz , Elipane Levi , Palomar Brando
Published: August 2021

The study explored practices of the sampled higher education Philippine STEAM educators in assessing learners. Data sourced from the database of a state-funded research on Philippine STEAM education using a Classroom Observation Protocol, included 106 STEAM teachers from purposely selected institutions drawn from 14 regions. Systematic data analysis (through data condensation, data display, and drawing and verifying conclusions) revealed that STEAM teachers used both appropriate traditional and authentic assessment tools and strategies with inclusive integration of technology. Furthermore, results showed that STEAM teachers’ best assessment practices may be categorised as: 1) assessment for career or industry readiness, 2) mounting assessment system to support instruction, and 3) collective and reflective assessment process. COVID-19 pandemic implications and policy recommendations are also offered, which may enhance assessment practices and suggest a perspective in crafting and recommending national and international standards and guidelines on assessment literacy among higher STEAM educators.
Addressing academic rejection: Recommendations for reform

Published: August 2021

The aim of this paper is to provide a number of reasoned and evidence-supported arguments and a list of recommendations for reducing the impact of academic rejection. A brief literature review examined the prevalence and negative impacts of academic rejection including its purported purposes, predictors, and consequences. Findings revealed that the topic of academic rejection is largely under-studied, with very few empirical investigations. The extant literature typically places the onus on the individual academic to deal with rejection. Few articles have recommended institutional changes to ameliorate the known mental health impacts of rejection. We propose that the discovery and dissemination of knowledge are among the core purposes of academia, and that scholars are far more likely to contribute through institutional and systemic support. Several elements of the current approaches are contraindicated, thus, we recommend several changes, at both the individual and institutional levels to reduce opportunity costs for grants and funding, improve the publication process, and promote academics’ mental health and wellbeing. When examining academic rejection through the lens of effective learning, the vast literature of feedback can support important changes to how publications are accepted and rejected. Considering the limited literature pertaining to academic rejection, we present recommendations for changes in how academic performance can be evaluated, for the benefit of both the academy and the mental health of its members.
Developing our students’ level of mindfulness during these unprecedented times
Authors: Reilly Peter
Published: August 2021

The pandemic has provoked disruptions in students' lives and studies worldwide, which has caused them to feel moderate to high levels of anxiety and stress. Universities have responded by offering online counseling and communicating self-help recommendations via their websites. Curiously, the role that professors could play to reduce this emotional hardship has been ignored in the literature. This instructional paper describes how and why three professors in Mexico include a brief, daily mindful practice in class to help their students cope with the negative emotions that may arise. Psychological and educational research has indicated that the development of mindfulness reduces emotional pain and increases one’s sense of well-being. Importantly, the focused-attention meditation described herein does not require an experienced mediator. A script to guide the practice is being used by the three professors, and could serve as a starting point for willing professors. Educators may also discover that the practice improves academic achievement because it activates executive functions (e.g. inhibitory control; working memory), thereby enhancing cognitive functioning. The paper also presents several practical implications involved with the practice, as well as initial reactions from professors and students.

Published: August 2021

Higher education learning and teaching has faced a significant challenge in 2020. The novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has required institutions to engage in emergency response teaching and deliver distance, online, or socially distanced delivery in most jurisdictions globally. The literature to date has focused on understanding this from the perspective of the institutions and academics primarily. For example, institutional case studies and staff critical reflections. There has been literature published on student learning, student experience, and student wellbeing during COVID-19, but these are typically constructed through an academic lens (e.g. a student satisfaction survey). This research offers a co-constructed account developed adopting a students as partners philosophy. Our research team includes four students from two countries (Australia and Singapore) to independently reflect on their experience and collectively consolidate their learning journey through the pandemic, and be mentored and supported by two academics. Our findings indicate that students feel generally disconnected from their experience. Students felt their agency was important, self-awareness and accountability enabled this. Students also reflected that changes to their learning environment had made it more difficult to create social connections. They also include opportunities to change our teaching practice to be more supportive of our students’ collective learning during COVID-19.
Pedagogical practice preferences among generational groups of learners: Towards effective twenty-first century higher education
Authors: Ortega-Dela Cruz Ruth
Published: August 2021

Facilitating learning for the students nowadays demands so much from the educators. This makes the role of higher education institutions (HEIs) more challenging as they look upon the needs of the present generation. This study sought answer to that need by determining the most preferred pedagogical practices that have impact on the students’ ability to stay motivated and learn effectively. Randomly selected higher education students including bachelor, masters’ and doctorate students were surveyed. Majority of the students belong to the so-called Net Generation. They prefer pedagogical practices that engage multiple channels of learning and on ways of assessing the learning outcomes. They thrive more on relevant, applicable, active learning and project-based tasks while working with their learning partners including faculty and students of shared interests. Results of correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between students’ demographics, and their preferences for pedagogical practices. Analysis of Variance indicated highly significant difference in the preferences for pedagogical practices across generational groups of students. Higher education is indeed changing and thus requires continuous change and improvement on the part of educators who find comfort in utilizing the twentieth century pedagogical practices. Now that innovations and technological breakthroughs are inevitable, educators must take a stand and set the bar in promoting effective twenty-first century higher education.
Escape rooms' pedagogical potential from female future teachers’ perspectives
Authors: Hunt-Gómez Coral , Moreno_Fernández Olga , Moreno-Crespo Pilar , Ferreras-Listán Mario
Published: August 2021

Fast and easy Internet and knowledge access by just a click are some of the characteristics of the twenty first century. This means that this knowledge has been acquired fast and superficially. Thus, discernment turns into something ephemeral, because there is not a profound examination of the aspects dealt with. This is caused by the enormous quantity of information found that, in many cases, does not reflect reality. In this sense, teachers can find multitasking students that can perform many activities but without reflexively undertaking them. Education tries to solve these type of problems so the learning-teaching process is as significant as possible. Therefore, future teachers should always have tools for keeping students’ attention, as well as to raise interest in the studied subjects. Within these new tools, escape rooms are, because they not only increase students’ motivation but also encourage teamwork and reflexive learning, as the tasks to be solved are complex. However, as male and female present different perspectives towards gamification, in this work, escape rooms have been studied applying a gender perspective. In the University of Seville, Spain, a descriptive-interpretative exploratory study took place intending to analyse future female teachers’ conceptions about escape rooms. A 17-item questionnaire was applied to 99 female students of the Degree in Primary Education. Results show that subjects highly valued the ludic part of the escape rooms as a didactic activity, which fosters significant learning. Students also appreciated that the activity was close to their reality and that it was integrating students’ interests in the Primary Education classroom. The main conclusion of the study is that, even if there is room for improvement and there is a need to make them more appealing to female students, escape rooms are considered an excellent educative resource as well as an adequate alternative teaching methodology.

Encontrou-se também relação entre eventos climáticos extremos e o aumento do desmatamento e dos casos de morbimortalidade, sobretudo por doenças respiratórias. Conclusão: O fogo sobre a biomassa florestal oriunda do desmate é posto como uma das principais causas das mudanças climáticas e o MP2,5 foi o poluente atmosférico que mais se associou aos agravos à saúde, principalmente nos grupos mais vulneráveis.
ANÁLISE DA ASSOCIAÇÃO ENTRE MAPAS DO MONITOR DE SECAS E DADOS CLIMÁTICOS DE SERGIPE
Authors: Silva Santos Kelly Marina , Almeida Albuquerque Tatiana Máximo , Abritta Mendes Ludmilson
Published: August 2021

A seca é um fenômeno natural recorrente em diversas regiões do planeta e provoca sérios impactos sobre o meio ambiente e a população. O histórico da gestão de secas no Brasil revela o caráter emergencial e reativo das medidas comumente adotadas. Contudo, a implementação do Monitor de Secas (MSB) no país evidencia o início da transição para gestão de riscos. Essa ferramenta consiste em um produto de monitoramento baseado em diversos índices e dados observados, através de um processo participativo entre instituições federais e estaduais. Dada a importância da consolidação do Monitor como meio de suporte à decisão para políticas públicas, esta pesquisa buscou avaliar a existência de associação entre as categorias de seca do MSB e dados climáticos para o estado de Sergipe. Foram utilizadas as ferramentas estatísticas do teste de independência do Qui-Quadrado e do coeficiente de correlação  de Cramer. O teste de independência mostrou que há associação entre os mapas do MSB e as precipitações mensais, trimestrais e semestrais; anomalias mensais, trimestrais e semestrais; e o Índice de Vegetação da Diferença Normalizada (NDVI). Contudo, o cálculo do coeficiente de Cramer identificou fraqueza na associação com os dados de precipitação e anomalias, com melhores resultados à medida que o período considerado foi maior. O NDVI foi a variável climática com maior correlação com as categorias do Monitor, refletindo características agrícolas da seca. De modo geral, pode-se afirmar que o Monitor tem representado o estado de Sergipe com baixa eficiência, necessitando de ajustes e melhorias, devido à sua crescente importância como ferramenta de suporte à decisão.

A intensa variabilidade climática na Amazônia provoca alguns desastres naturais como a erosão hídrica do solo. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o quanto espacialmente as variabilidades climáticas afetam, através da precipitação, a erosão do solo na bacia hidrográfica do médio-baixo rio Madeira. Utilizou-se o Índice Oscilação Sul e o Índice Oceânico Niño para identificação dos fenômenos climáticos; e as categorias de: declividade, pluviometria, uso e ocupação da terra e tipos de solo no processo de álgebra de mapas. Os anos extremos (2009-La Niña; 2015-El Niño) ultrapassaram o desvio padrão pluvial. A áreas próximas a foz apresentaram a maior extensão de estabilidade a erosão, sendo esta condição localmente alterada pela ação da pluviosidade, enquanto a parte sul possui os setores críticos relacionadas ao uso da terra, em regiões naturalmente instáveis. O monitoramento das ações antrópicas nessas áreas de alerta é a maneira mais viável de contingência do avanço da erosão do solo.

A Amazônia legal obteve uma média de 126.938 focos de calor entre os anos de 1998-2018, destes cerca de 32.934 se concentram no estado do Pará. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar a dinâmica espaço-temporal dos focos de calor na microrregião de Paragominas. Os dados de focos de calor foram adquiridos no banco de dados do INPE, estes foram analisados num período de 15 anos, englobando os anos de 2002 a 2017. Estes dados foram comparados com a precipitação, desmatamento e expansão agrícola. A maior incidência dos focos de calor é no período seco, com incremento médio de 2830,63% em relação ao chuvoso. A precipitação reduz cerca de 68% entre esses períodos. Há redução de 94% do desmatamento e crescimento de 599131,76% da agricultura. A concentração dos focos de calor obedece a orientação Norte/Sul da microrregião, nos entornos das rodovias, áreas desmatadas e de agricultura, bem como programas de assentamento. O padrão espacial dos focos de calor da microrregião de Paragominas é influenciado pela sazonalidade da precipitação, havendo uma maior concentração destes nas áreas de menor precipitação da microrregião. O padrão temporal e a intensidade dos focos são influenciados pela ação antrópica, coincidindo com as áreas de menor precipitação.
UMA EXPERIÊNCIA NO ENSINO DE CLIMATOLOGIA ESCOLAR.
Authors: Allocca Rodson De Andrade , Fialho Edson Soares
Published: August 2021

No Ensino Médio, o conteúdo de climatologia, que é denso e complexo, muitas vezes, não é apresentado de forma articulada com a rotina cotidiana e vivências dos discentes, acarretando um distanciamento e um desinteresse sobre a temática, transformando a imagem do conteúdo em algo inacessível e difícil. Nesse sentido, a utilização de novas práticas educativas se faz necessária para viabilizar e potencializar o interesse dos discentes no âmbito da ciência geográfica. Para isso, utilizou-se a prática do trabalho de campo como uma opção metodológica e nessa proposta os conhecimentos dos alunos sobre a localização da escola e seu entorno imediato puderam ser relacionados com o comportamento do campo térmico local e seus possíveis condicionantes. Essa experiência permitiu aos discentes ter contato com o fazer científico e, sob esse prisma, um novo olhar sobre a aplicabilidade dos conhecimentos geográficos. Para tanto, após a apresentação dos conteúdos sobre climatologia em sala de aula, os discentes tiveram que planejar, projetar, coletar e analisar os dados que serviram de base para a espacialização das informações produzidas. Os resultados obtidos por meio dos registros térmicos puderam ser comparados aos resultados das entrevistas aplicadas junto aos alunos sobre a percepção do campo térmico local. Apesar de discordantes quando comparados, os resultados obtidos serviram como base para a discussão sobre espacialização da temperatura do ar nos arredores do Instituto Montessori de Ponte Nova-MG.
MODELAGEM DA ILHA DE CALOR URBANA DE SUPERFÍCIE UTILIZANDO REGRESSÃO GEOGRAFICAMENTE PONDERADA (GWR)

Published: August 2021

A ilha de calor urbana de superfície (ICUS) é o fenômeno urbano mais evidente das transformações provocadas pela ação humana, e, por conseguinte, das alterações climáticas em escala local. Diante disso, essa pesquisa teve como objetivo modelar a ICUS por meio de modelos estacionários (MQO) e não estacionários (GWR) utilizando variáveis naturais e antrópicas (Altitude, Índice de Posição Topográfica - IPT, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index - NDVI, Índice da Diferença Normalizada de Água - NDWI e Índice de Urbanização - IU) da cidade de São Carlos, São Paulo, Brasil. Os resultados evidenciaram que o modelo GWR explicou mais satisfatoriamente a variabilidade da ICUS que o modelo MQO, explicando 90% da variação da ICUS no verão, enquanto que o MQO explicou 79%. Os valores de AICc indicaram, também, superioridade do modelo GWR. As informações obtidas pelo modelo não estacionário poderão facilitar a implementação de medidas mitigadoras da ICUS. O modelo GWR mostrou-se ser eficiente para modelar a ICUS em cidade média, portanto, sugere-se que esse modelo seja utilizado em pequenas e grandes cidades brasileiras para que possa ser validado em cidades com diferentes características espaciais.

In recent years, there has been a significant complication of the clinical picture of somatoneurological and mental status of patients with intoxicated forms of alcohol dependence. The aim of the study was to clinically evaluate the effectiveness of the innovative complex in the complex and the development of a therapeutic algorithm for its use in drug practice. The object of our scientific and practical interests in recent years has been modeling, testing and implementation of a new generation of non-drug and pharmacological methods of treatment of acute and urgent drug pathology, and its consequences, creating a set of innovative laser treatment and rehabilitation programs. The therapeutic efficacy of the laser infusion therapeutic complex was evaluated using pre-treatment rating scales, first, third and fifth days of treatment. In the course of therapy a clinical and laboratory study, general blood and urine tests, biochemical blood test were performed. Based on the data, we can conclude about the high efficiency of laser infusion detoxification as a means of alleviating the drunken form of alcohol dependence. The rate of reduction of somatoneurological and psychopathological disorders was significantly higher in the case of using an innovative treatment module based on laser technology than in the process of therapy with traditional drugs. Clinical interpretation of the obtained results in the main group allowed recording the tendency to a more pronounced positive dynamics, which manifested in a smoother disappearance of post-intoxication symptoms. In our opinion, the main clinical feature of the laser complex is the differences in the intensity of the positive therapeutic effect, indicating the presence of pronounced detoxifying properties. Thus, the therapeutic effects of the proposed laser detoxification program are extremely necessary to alleviate the drunken form of alcohol dependence in drug practice. The obtained results expand the current possibilities of etiopathogenetic therapy and allow recommending the inclusion of the developed method in complex therapeutic and rehabilitation programs for the treatment of drug addicts.

The existence of overlapping laws and regulations in the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) sector creates conflicts in their implementation. For example, the obligation to mediate as a condition for carrying out criminal charges for copyright infringement is based on Article 95 paragraph (4) of Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. Mediation provisions in Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration are a way of settling civil disputes outside the court to settle by deliberation and consensus with the help of a mediator. Meanwhile, mediation based on Perma Number 1 of 2008 is intended as an obligation for judges at the first level court in the District Court and Religious Courts in the context of resolving civil disputes. Settlement of copyright disputes is the authority of the Commercial Court, as a special court within the general court environment. However, the Commercial Court does not apply the obligation of mediation. The study results indicate that the simplification of legislation in the intellectual property sector will result in quality, simple, orderly legislation that will also increase investment, create employment opportunities, reduce the burden on society and the efficiency of the state budget.Keywords: Simplification; Copyright; Criminal Act Settlement

Bauhinia scandens has potential importance as an ornamental and medicinal plant. Researchers have isolated and identified 1-O-alkylglycerol in the leaves of the B. scandens plant, and established antitumor properties using the Brine Shrimp toxicity test, an internationally accepted bioassay. Although this species has high potential, little is known about the viability of seedling production and the morphology of these plants, particularly in terms of seed characteristics and initial stages of germination. The objective of this study was to characterize the seed morphology, germination, and seedlings of B. scandens. Seed water content, weight, and coloration were evaluated. This study also included a description of seed biometrics, external and internal structures, germination, and seedling morphology. Internal seed morphology was evaluated by the anatomical sectioning and X-ray methods. The morphology data obtained were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and germination data were determined using Cramér’s V. B. scandens seeds have a coloration ranging from very dark grayish-red to dark reddish-brown, flat oblong shapes, and rounded bases and apexes with full or slightly undulating margins. Healthy seedlings are produced mainly by seeds with well-formed internal structures. The reddish petiole of the seedling leaves is a taxonomic character for B. scandens identification. The non-domestication and genetic variability of this species reflect on the seed and seedling color and size variation.

Physiological information about native species, make it possible to know their potential for use in programs to recovery degraded areas. Nowadays climate changes are severe and factors as water and light are involved with plant development and growth. We hypothesized that shading may contribute to adjusting the characteristics of photosynthetic metabolism of Campomanesia xanthocarpa seedlings under flooding. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the flooding times and shading levels for gas exchanges and the maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) in C. xanthocarpa seedlings. Seedlings were grown under two water regimes (control and flooding), three levels of shading (0, 30, and 70%) and 4 evaluation periods (0, 15, 30, and 45 days). We verified damages to the photosynthetic apparatus and reductions in the efficiency of the photochemical process under flooding and at a high level of shading (70%) in a short period (15 days). However, seedlings showed favourable responses to the adjustment over the 45 days of exposure to those conditions. According to the multivariate analysis, it was possible to identify the relation between photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance as the main factor of metabolic adjustments in the tolerance of C. xanthocarpa to flooding and high shading intensity. C. xanthocarpa was more sensitive to short periods of flooding conditions and full sun and high level of shading (70%), however, it presented better adjustment responses to flooding periods when associated with 30% shade.

Glycinebetaine (GB) plays an imperative role to mitigate the opposing impact of several environmental stresses in various crops. The objective of this investigation was to scrutinize the response of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) to the foliar application of GB. Diverse levels of GB (0, 10, 20 and 30 mM) were applied three times with fifteen days interval to grape cv. King’s Ruby. All levels of GB improved the physiological, biochemical and growth attributes of the grape. As compared to control treatment, foliar spray of GB applied at 30 mM increased the number of leaves/vine, leaf area and number of newly emerged branches/plant by 20.55%, 12.28% and 48.13%, respectively. The pH of grape juice was decreased by increasing GB levels. However, total soluble solids, total chlorophyll contents, grape yield and photosynthesis rate was recorded maximum with foliar spray of GB applied at 30 mM. The regression model predicted that each increment in GB level enhanced the number of leaves/plant and the number of newly emerged branches/plant by 1.8 and 0.7, respectively. Thus, it is concluded that exogenous application GB applied at 30 mM might be more useful to obtain the optimum growth and quality of grapes.

The use of saline water is one of the major challenges of agriculture, as it can cause nutritional imbalances and thus reduce crop yield. This study proposes to examine the efficiency of potassium nutrition as a salt stress-mitigating agent in melon grown in a protected environment. The experiment was laid out in a randomized-block design with ten treatments in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement represented by two melon cultivars (McLaren and SV1044MF) and four nutrient solutions (S1 - standard nutrient solution, 2.5 dS m-1; S2 - nutrient solution salinized with NaCl, 5.0 dS m-1; S3 - nutrient solution salinized with NaCl + 50% K, 6.5 dS m-1; and S4 - nutrient solution salinized with NaCl + 100% K, 7.5 dS m-1). Yield (average fruit weight, production, fruit diameter, internal cavity, and pulp thickness), quality (pulp firmness, total sugars, soluble solids [SS], vitamin C, pH, titratable acidity [TA] and SS/TA ratio) and nutritional (K, Na and K/Na ratio) variables were evaluated. Plants fertigated with standard nutrient solution showed the highest values for fruit weight (1,190.6 g), production (2,381.3 g per plant), fruit diameter (13.6 cm) and pulp thickness (2.6 cm). Cultivar McLaren produced heavier fruits (931.4 g) with larger diameter (12.4 cm) and pulp thickness (2.4 cm). The addition of NaCl to nutrient solution induced a reduction in the yield variables but did not influence fruit quality. The addition of extra K to salinized nutrient solution did not mitigate the deleterious effect of salinity on the yield of melon.

After the growth-promoting antibiotics prohibition, intestinal health became an increasing concern worldwide in poultry farming. The intestinal histological evaluation is an inexpensive technique that brings relevant information, but in poultry, the immediate process of intestinal post-mortem autolysis interferes directly on the samples quality for histological analysis hindering a precise diagnosis. This study aimed to standardize a technique for broilers’ intestines sample collection and fixation for histological analysis. Seven broiler chickens received a standard diet until 23 days of age when they were euthanized. Fragments of duodenum, jejunum, and ileum were collected using three methods: intestine strips, transverse section, and Swiss roll and posteriorly fixed in 10% buffered formalin and bouin solution. Tissue samples were submitted for histological (number of villi and viable villi per field) and morphometrical (villi height, crypt depth and villi:crypt ratio) evaluations and the results analyzed statistically. A significant high number of villi and viable villi per field in all regions was observed in the Swiss roll method. In the duodenum (p= 0.0066) and jejunum (p= 0.0058) an interaction between the Swiss roll method and the fixative buffered formalin was observed in the viable and number of villi per field, respectively. Regarding the morphometrical analysis significant differences were observed, in the jejunum villi height sampling by the methods Swiss roll (1,157.66 ± 148.25 μm, p= 0.0015) that showed the highest mean. Deeper crypt depths were observed in the jejunum (156.59 ± 15.68 μm, p= 0.0002) and ileum (131.13 ± 15.01 μm, p= 0.0006) collect by the Swiss roll method. An interaction between the bouin fixative was also observed in the jejunum (p= 0.0223) for this variable. Duodenum sampling by transversal section (12.68 ± 1.45 μm, p= 0.0076) was the only segment that had a significant difference for villi:crypt ratio, showing the highest mean. It can be concluded that the Swiss roll technique was the best method for morphometrical evaluation of the chickens’ intestines, since the highest counts of villi per field and viable villi per field were obtained, while buffered formalin was considered as the best fixative.
