Abstract

RESUMO Objetivo Desenvolver e avaliar um software educacional com base em imagens parasitológicas de helmintos, abordando de forma ilustrativa e interativa os nematelmintos de transmissão passiva, o que poderá ser útil a professores, profissionais e alunos de graduação das diferentes profissões da saúde na compreensão e identificação dessas verminoses, aproximando-os também da prática profissional. Metodologia O software foi construído com base em um banco de imagens do próprio autor, utilizando o multimídia Flashâ, que permite elaborar animações e simulações em linguagem vetorial, resultando em arquivos pequenos, que podem ser disponibilizados através da web ou em mídias ópticas e magnéticas. A avaliação do produto final foi feita por estudantes de Medicina. Resultados O software foi concluído e bem avaliado pelos estudantes do curso de Medicina (n=97) da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas e da Saúde (FCMS) da PUC/SP. Os pré e pós-testes do material mostraram consistente crescimento do conhecimento, seja por autoavaliação ou por questões objetivas fechadas. Conclusão Os resultados atuais permitem concluir que o software é de grande interesse educacional e poderá ser útil a estudantes, profissionais e docentes da área da saúde.

ABSTRACT Object The main objective of this project is to evaluate and develop educational software utilizing Helminth parasitological images to interactively illustrate the passive transmission of roundworms. This can be useful to teachers, professionals and graduate students from various health professions understand and identify these worms as well as for use by professionals in their practice. Methodology The software was built using Multimedia Flashâ and a database of images. This enabled the creation of animations and simulations in vector language, resulting in smaller files that can be made available through the web or provided on other storage media. The final product was evaluated by medical students. Results The software has been completed and has been favorably evaluated by medicine students (n = 97) of the PUC/SP Medical Science and Health School. Their tests compared results before use of the software with results obtained after using the software. A consistent growth of knowledge was demonstrated either by self-assessment or closed objective questions. Conclusion The results obtained allow us to conclude that the software is of great educational interest and should be useful to students, teachers and professionals in the health field.

As tendências pedagógicas e a prática educativa nas ciências da saúde

Adriana Lenho de Figueiredo Pereira (2003)

As práticas educativas são amplamente utilizadas na área da saúde, tanto na formação contínua dos profissionais que atuam nesta área quanto no campo da educação em saúde para a população em geral. A interseção destes dois campos de conhecimento humano se dá através do desenvolvimento de práticas educativas norteadas por um conjunto de representações de homem e de sociedade que se quer efetivar. Essas representações são demonstradas através da discussão dos processos de ensino-aprendizagem utilizados nas tendências pedagógicas mais dominantes em nosso meio: a pedagogia tradicional, renovada, por condicionamento e a libertadora. A partir dos princípios, métodos e conseqüências ao nível individual e social de cada pedagogia apresentada, concluímos que a pedagogia libertadora pode produzir melhores resultados que as demais correntes pedagógicas estudadas, por possibilitar a participação ativa do educando no processo da aprendizagem, propiciando o desenvolvimento contínuo das habilidades humanas tanto da clientela quanto dos trabalhadores da área de saúde.

Prevention, control, and elimination of neglected diseases in the Americas: Pathways to integrated, inter-programmatic, inter-sectoral action for health and development

John Holveck, John Ehrenberg, Steven K Ault … (2007)

Background In the Latin America and Caribbean region over 210 million people live below the poverty line. These impoverished and marginalized populations are heavily burdened with neglected communicable diseases. These diseases continue to enact a toll, not only on families and communities, but on the economically constrained countries themselves. Discussion As national public health priorities, neglected communicable diseases typically maintain a low profile and are often left out when public health agendas are formulated. While many of the neglected diseases do not directly cause high rates of mortality, they contribute to an enormous rate of morbidity and a drastic reduction in income for the most poverty-stricken families and communities. The persistence of this "vicious cycle" between poverty and poor health demonstrates the importance of linking the activities of the health sector with those of other sectors such as education, housing, water and sanitation, labor, public works, transportation, agriculture, industry, and economic development. Summary The purpose of this paper is three fold. First, it focuses on a need for integrated "pro-poor" approaches and policies to be developed in order to more adequately address the multi-faceted nature of neglected diseases. This represents a move away from traditional disease-centered approaches to a holistic approach that looks at the overarching causes and mechanisms that influence the health and well being of communities. The second objective of the paper outlines the need for a specific strategy for addressing these diseases and offers several programmatic entry points in the context of broad public health measures involving multiple sectors. Finally, the paper presents several current Pan American Health Organization and other institutional initiatives that already document the importance of integrated, inter-programmatic, and inter-sectoral approaches. They provide the framework for a renewed effort toward the efficient use of resources and the development of a comprehensive integrated solution to neglected communicable diseases found in the context of poverty, and tailored to the needs of local communities.

What does it mean to be a good teacher and clinical supervisor in medical education?

L Dahlgren, Terese Stenfors-Hayes, Håkan Hult (2011)

The aim of this study was to describe the different ways medical teachers understand what constitutes a good teacher and a good clinical supervisor and what similarities and differences they report between them. Data was gathered through interviews with 39 undergraduate teachers at a medical university. The transcripts were analysed using a phenomenographic approach. Three categories regarding what it means to be a good teacher and clinical supervisor respectively were identified. Similarities between the two hierarchies were seen with the most inclusive categories of understanding what it means to be a good teacher or supervisor focuses on students' learning or growth. In the third category a good teacher and supervisor is seen as someone who conveys knowledge or shows how things are done. However, the role of being a clinical supervisor was perceived as containing a clearer focus on professional development and role modelling than the teacher role did. This is shown in the middle category where a good clinical supervisor is understood as a role model and someone who shares what it is like to be a doctor. The middle category of understanding what it means to be a good teacher instead focussing on the teacher as someone who responds to students' content requests in a partially student-centred perspective. In comparing the ways individual respondents understood the two roles, this study also implies that teachers appear to compartmentalise their roles as teachers and clinical supervisors respectively.
