Competencias necesarias para las competencias b??sicas : lo que el profesorado deber??a saber, saber hacer y saber ser

Se presenta un art??culo que aborda la vieja lucha de creencias entre el aprendizaje de saberes (saberes declarativos, es decir, saberes cuya validez s??lo se comprueba mediante su mera reproducci??n) y el nuevo paradigma competencial en el que lo importante es, adem??s, su aplicaci??n funcional y efectiva en un contexto significativo. Se propone centrar la atenci??n en aspectos m??s cercanos a la acci??n y a las necesidades formativas del profesorado para intentar generar un panorama de seguridad y satisfacci??n en su pr??ctica educativa. Es urgente un desarrollo de las competencias docentes, y la revisi??n de los dise??os instructivos de los modelos presenciales y no presenciales de la formaci??n del profesorado.

Calidad educativa y competencias b??sicas

Se definen las competencias b??sicas como las habilidades o destrezas que ha de desarrollar el alumnado para realizar determinadas actividades en contextos concretos. Se incide en el proceso de formaci??n integral del alumnado, que lo capacita para resolver de manera sencilla problemas de la vida cotidiana, y que requiere del profesorado mucha improvisaci??n, mediante una buena formaci??n y lectura. Adem??s, para lograr un buen desarrollo de las competencias b??sicas es necesario dedicar m??s atenci??n al aspecto personal de cada alumno y alumna.

C??mo llevar a cabo la evoluci??n de las habilidades motrices b??sicas a las habilidades motrices espec??ficas

Se persigue que los alumnos y alumnas se conviertan en grandes amantes de la actividad f??sica y que aprendan las habilidades que les permitan desarrollar sus capacidades con la mayor transparencia posible. Se presenta una evoluci??n de trabajo para que el alumnado acceda a la siguiente etapa educativa sin que le cueste tanto trabajo realizar las tareas motrices. Se trata de consolidar las habilidades para progresar hacia una mayor complejidad y especificidad.

The S.T.A.B. Trial - Standardised Testing of Artificial Blood. A comparative study of various products that may be used as artificial blood for high fidelity simulation training in the critical care setting

Aim: In the current climate of medical education, there is an ever-increasing demand for and emphasis on simulation as both a teaching and training tool. The objective of our study was to compare the realism and practicality of a number of artificial blood products that could be used for high-fidelity simulation. Method: A literature and internet search was performed and 15 artificial blood products were identified from a variety of sources. One product was excluded due to its potential toxicity risks. Five observers, blinded to the products, performed two assessments on each product using an evaluation tool with 14 predefined criteria including color, consistency, clotting, and staining potential to manikin skin and clothing. Each criterion was rated using a five-point Likert scale. The products were left for 24 hours, both refrigerated and at room temperature, and then reassessed. Statistical analysis was performed to identify the most suitable products, and both inter- and intra-rater variability were examined. Results: Three products scored consistently well with all five assessors, with one product in particular scoring well in almost every criterion. This highest-rated product had a mean rating of 3.6 of 5.0 (95% posterior Interval 3.4-3.7). Inter-rater variability was minor with average ratings varying from 3.0 to 3.4 between the highest and lowest scorer. Intrarater variability was negligible with good agreement between first and second rating as per weighted kappa scores (K = 0.67). Conclusion: The most realistic and practical form of artificial blood identified was a commercial product called KD151 Flowing Blood Syrup. It was found to be not only realistic in appearance but practical in terms of storage and stain removal.
