VERVE: Template-based ReflectiVE Rewriting for MotiVational IntErviewing
Reflective listening is a fundamental skill that counselors must acquire to
achieve proficiency in motivational interviewing (MI). It involves responding
in a manner that acknowledges and explores the meaning of what the client has
expressed in the conversation. In this work, we introduce the task of
counseling response rewriting, which transforms non-reflective statements into
reflective responses. We introduce VERVE, a template-based rewriting system
with paraphrase-augmented training and adaptive template updating. VERVE first
creates a template by identifying and filtering out tokens that are not
relevant to reflections and constructs a reflective response using the
template. Paraphrase-augmented training allows the model to learn less-strict
fillings of masked spans, and adaptive template updating helps discover
effective templates for rewriting without significantly removing the original
content. Using both automatic and human evaluations, we compare our method
against text rewriting baselines and show that our framework is effective in
turning non-reflective statements into more reflective responses while
achieving a good content preservation-reflection style trade-off
Assessment of interests and cognitive styles of learning in science in students 7th and 8th years of teaching basic and 1st and 2nd of teaching secondary in the province of Llanquihue
El interés por estudiar ciencia en nuestro país debe ser abordado bajo nuevos modelos didácticos curriculares, que estén relacionados con el entorno y con el desarrollo económico social de la región, de tal forma que los estudiantes se puedan ver más motivados y encuentren el sentido de vida que tiene la ciencia. Se evaluaron los intereses y estilos cognitivos de aprendizaje en ciencia en alumnos de séptimo y octavo Básico y primero y segundo año de Educación Media de la Provincia de Llanquihue, Región de los Lagos, Chile. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 80 alumnos seleccionados de un colegio Particular, uno Particular Subvencionado, uno de Educación General Básica Municipalizado y un colegio Técnico Profesional Municipalizado. Se evaluaron los intereses vocacionales a través del test de Kuder y los estilos de aprendizaje con el test de Honey –Alonso. Todos los colegios están sobre el 60% de actitud positiva hacia el aprendizaje de la ciencia, pero la contextualización no se ve inserta en el tratamiento de los contenidos.The interest for studying science in our country should considerate a new didactic approach and a new curricular model, related to the environment and to the regional social economical development, in order to motivate students and help them to find the sense of life through science.
