The weaving in teaching: content-articulating expressions in teacher-student interaction

Este estudio busca ser un aporte a la pedagogía general al indagar un tipo particular de intervenciones pedagógicas denominadas expresiones articuladoras, caracterizadas por introducir conexiones entre diferentes asuntos técnicos o temas asociados a una disciplina que emergen durante una clase. Se determinaron dos tipos de expresiones articuladoras: de carácter local o global. En particular, se realizó un análisis de videos de clases de matemáticas con dos jueces expertos, quienes llevaron a cabo la codificación de la frecuencia y tipo de las expresiones articuladoras. El material seleccionado correspondió a videos de clases de matemáticas de 138 profesores de segundo ciclo de Enseñanza Básica en Chile. Posteriormente, las expresiones articuladoras identificadas fueron correlacionadas con el desempeño docente global de los 138 profesores, de acuerdo al Sistema Nacional Chileno de Evaluación de Desempeño Docente. Los resultados muestran que las expresiones articuladoras, en particular las de carácter local, correlacionan de forma positiva, pero con un efecto reducido, con distintas dimensiones del desempeño docente, tales como la capacidad del profesor de dar estructura a la clase o la promoción de la interacción pedagógica. Las expresiones articuladoras corresponderían a un recurso pedagógico importante del docente para el aprendizaje, en tanto facilitan la enseñanza del lenguaje técnico de cada disciplina. Lo anterior se logra al establecer relaciones con asuntos tratados durante la clase, pero también con contenidos enseñados previamente o incluso con futuros asuntos disciplinares.This research seeks to be a contribution to general pedagogy by studying a particular type of pedagogical intervention called articulating expressions, which are characterized as connections between different technical topics or topics associated with a discipline that emerge during a class. Two types of articulating expressions were determined: local and global. We conducted a video analysis of math classes with two expert judges, who carried out the coding of the frequency and type of articulating expressions. The selected material corresponded to videos of math classes from 138 teachers of second cycle of Elementary Education in Chile. Following this, the identified articulating expressions were correlated to the overall teaching performance of the 138 teachers, according to the Chilean National System of Teacher Performance Evaluation. The results show that articulating expressions, particularly those of a local nature, correlate positively but with a reduced effect, to different dimensions of teaching performance, such as the teacher’s ability to structure the class or promote pedagogical interaction. Articulating expressions would correspond to an important pedagogical resource for the teacher to enhance learning, while facilitating the teaching of the technical language of each discipline. The latter is achieved by establishing relationships with topics discussed during class, but also with content that was previously taught, and even with future content related to the discipline

A Student Assessment Tool for Standardized Patient Simulations (SAT-SPS): Psychometric analysis

Background: The evaluation of the level of clinical competence acquired by the student is a complex process that must meet various requirements to ensure its quality. The psychometric analysis of the data collected by the assessment tools used is a fundamental aspect to guarantee the student's competence level. Aim: To conduct a psychometric analysis of an instrument which assesses clinical competence in nursing students at simulation stations with standardized patients in OSCE-format tests. Method: The construct of clinical competence was operationalized as a set of observable and measurable behaviors, measured by the newly-created Student Assessment Tool for Standardized Patient Simulations (SATSPS), which was comprised of 27 items. The categories assigned to the items were ‘incorrect or not performed’ (0), ‘acceptable’ (1), and ‘correct’ (2). Participants: 499 nursing students. Data were collected by two independent observers during the assessment of the students' performance at a four-station OSCE with standardized patients. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the variables. The difficulty levels and floor and ceiling effects were determined for each item. Reliability was analyzed using internal consistency and inter-observer reliability. The validity analysis was performed considering face validity, content and construct validity (through exploratory factor analysis), and criterion validity. Results: Internal reliability and inter-observer reliability were higher than 0.80. The construct validity analysis suggested a three-factor model accounting for 37.1% of the variance. These three factors were named ‘Nursing process’, ‘Communication skills’, and ‘Safe practice’. A significant correlation was found between the scores obtained and the students' grades in general, as well as with the grades obtained in subjects with clinical content. Conclusions: The assessment tool has proven to be sufficiently reliable and valid for the assessment of the clinical competence of nursing students using standardized patients. This tool has three main components: the nursing process, communication skills, and safety management

Teaching empathy to nursing students: A randomised controlled trial

Background: Empathy has been reported to produce a positive effect on improving patient health outcomes, becoming a fundamental skill in any health personnel-patient relationship. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention designed to improve the nursing students' empathy, the learning perception, the improvement of the perception in the understanding of the content, and in the degree of difficulty as well as the acquisition of skills. Design: Multicentre randomised controlled trial. Setting: This research was conducted at two schools of nursing at a public university in the Southwest of Spain. Participants: 116 nursing students were randomly assigned to an experimental ora control group (delayed intervention group once the post-training analysis was completed) during the second semester of the 2015/ 2016 academic year. Methods: Pre-test, post-test, and follow-up data were obtained for each group using a simulated clinical interview. Empathy was the primary outcome (The Consultation and Relational Empathy Measure, Jefferson Scale of Empathy student version, Reynolds Empathy Scale, and Carkhuff Scale). The students' perceived knowledge, the learning perception, the self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale) and the understanding of the content and acquisition of skills (ad-hoc questions) were also analysed. Results: The results were improved in ali the measures conducted in the experimental groups at the different centres after the intervention. The mean post-test simulation seores were higher than the pre-test with statistically significan! differences. The results were maintained in the follow-up. The student's perception of learning and the perception of understanding of the content and the acquisition of ski lls were improved as well. Conclusion: The study support that training in empathic competence is effective

To a paradigm shift to the evaluation of scientific activity into Higher Education

La evaluación actual de la actividad científica se lleva a cabo mediante un mismo patrón internacional. Esta circunstancia ha estimulado un notable número de investigaciones críticas. Sin embargo, la abundancia de críticas contrasta con la falta de propuestas alternativas. En este trabajo se presenta una síntesis de los inconvenientes observados en las prácticas de evaluación, identificando consecuencias negativas para la propia ciencia, sus miembros y su utilidad pública respecto a las Instituciones de Educación Superior. También se añade una revisión de voces alternativas. Finalmente, se propone un conjunto de ocho principios para ayudar a promover un cambio de paradigma.The current assessment of scientific activity is performed by the same international pattern. This has stimulated a remarkable number of critical researches. However, the abundance of critical publications contrasts with the lack of alternative proposals. This paper presents a synthesis of the drawbacks observed in assessment practices, identifying negative consequences for science itself, its members and its public utility, in reference to Higher Education Institutions. A review of alternative voices is also added. Finally, this paper proposes a set of eight principles to assist in promoting a paradigm shift
