How dental students’ course experiences and satisfaction of their basic psychological needs influence passion for studying in Chile

Purpose: This study aimed to determine how the general course experiences of dental students in Chile and the satisfaction or frustration of their basic psychological needs influenced their passion for studying, and how passion influenced students’ study strategies. Methods: A correlational cross-sectional study was conducted at 3 Chilean dental schools between April and June 2018, in which 935 undergraduate students participated. Students responded to Spanish-language versions of 4 psychological scale tools: the Course Experience Questionnaire, the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfac¬tion and Frustration Scale, the Passion Scale, and the Revised Study Process Questionnaire. Data were analysed with bivariate correlations and structural equation modelling, controlling for age, gender, year of study, and type of university. Results: Students’ general course experiences (i.e., good teaching, clear goals and standards, appropriate assessment, and appropriate workload) positively predicted basic need satisfaction and negatively predicted need frustration. Need satisfaction positively predicted passion in students, with stronger scores for harmonious passion. Basic need frustration positively predicted obsessive passion and negatively predicted harmonious passion. Harmonious passion positively predicted deep study strategies and negatively predicted surface study strategies, while obsessive passion positively predicted both deep and surface study strategies. Conclusion: Dental students’ optimal course experiences positively influenced the satisfaction of their basic psychological needs, which favoured harmonious over obsessive passion. In turn, harmonious over obsessive passion positively influenced deep study strategies. Therefore, efforts should be made to provide course experiences that support students’ basic needs and harmonious passion for studying, both in classroom and chair-side teaching

Juana I de princesa a reina de Castilla, 1502-1509

The behaviour of Juana I de Castilla had experienced manipulations and had been used in many cases without respecting the historical facts. In this study we analyse some important years of her life: the period starting with her mother’s dead (Isabella I) and finalising when her father (Ferdinand the Catholic) takes the government of Castilla. The hystoriographical treatment of Juana is taken into account in this study and the madness signs attributed to her are assessed

Historia ecofeminista

La Historia, hasta tiempos muy recientes, no se ha preocupado de las relaciones que las personas mantienen con el medio físico en el que viven. Estas relaciones pueden ser de respeto o de agresión. Aquí se estable una base teórica, un método de trabajo y una metodología. También se analiza las posibilidades de las fuentes históricas para hacer una Historia en la que se tengan en cuenta este tipo de relaciones. Se acaba con una valoración general sobre la situación en la Edad Media como ejemplo.It is possible a History of the Environment? History, until very recent times, was not concerned about the relationship that persons keep with the physical environment where they live. These relationships can be respectful or damaging. The aim of the study is to establish a theoretical basis, a work approach and a study methodology. The possibilities of the historical sources are also analysed in order to present a History where these relationships are taken into account. At the end of the study a general assessment is made about the situation in the Middle Ages as an example
