There are times when people feel compelled to stand up and articulate their group's shortcomings, an act that carries with it enormous social risks. Indeed, a mechanistic reading of social identity theory might lead one to believe that ingroup critics are doomed to face hostility because they are attacking a fundamental part of people's self-concept. But often ingroup critics are doing more than attacking their group — they are trying to incite positive change. Criticism is the cornerstone of protest, and it is difficult to imagine how a group can be reinvigorated, reinvented, or reformed without some process of critical self-reflection. Thus, although the ingroup critic might create tension within the group, it is possible that internal criticism could be seen by other group members as beneficial in terms of promoting positive change and stimulating innovation, creativity, and flexibility in decision making. In this talk I examine the 'identity rules' that ingroup critics need to follow to avoid defensiveness, and look at empirical evidence of how factors such as language, the intergroup context, and choice of audience shape people's attributions regarding criticism and their subsequent evaluations of critics.

Objective: This study evaluates whether a course that was designed for first-year psychiatric residents and that specifically addressed psychodynamic principles fostered residents` progress in knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding these concepts. Methods: The course was given in the 2005 academic year to all residents (N = 18) in their first psychiatric postgraduate year at the Department and Institute of Psychiatry, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The residents were assessed in the first and last sessions of the course through a written test that was blindly rated by two independent judges. Residents were also interviewed to observe whether psychodynamic concepts had been integrated into actual practice. Their responses were subjected to content analysis. Significance was tested using analysis of variance or nonparametric tests when necessary. Agreement between the judges was tested using intraclass correlation coefficients. Results: The judges demonstrated a high level of agreement. The difference in mean scores before and after the course was such that the total score increased by a mean of 2.5 points (total test score was 10 points). Additionally, residents started to undergo personal psychotherapy after the course. They reported that this course had markedly improved their relationship with patients. They emphasized the opportunities for self-reflection and gaining insights into themselves and patient treatment issues. Conclusion: This initial study indicates that this educational method can effectively promote psychodynamic knowledge, skills, and appropriate attitudes for managing psychiatric outpatients among residents. The course was very well received by the residents, and a similar method can easily be instituted within other residency programs that pursue integrated teaching methods.

This project aimed to develop a systematic framework for understanding the relationship between social science research and public policy, and to build more effective linkages between social researchers and policy practitioners in the Australian housing system, particularly through AHURI. The project is explicitly applied and solution-focused. It was undertaken in close collaboration with AHURI and has contributed to AHURI's overall mission and strategy to enhancing research-based housing policy. It provided an opportunity for the AHURI policy community to engage in a process of action-oriented, self-reflection around its core business of applied housing policy research.

Na atualidade, face à emergência de políticas educacionais influenciadas pela globalização, a avaliação das instituições escolares tem vindo a constituir-se como um instrumento para regular, garantir e acompanhar a melhoria da qualidade nos sistemas de ensino. A Lei nº31/2002 de 20 de dezembro implicou nas escolas o desenvolvimento de dispositivos, instrumentos e processos diversos de avaliação tendo como um dos seus objetivos a promoção da melhoria de qualidade do sistema educativo. Não é qualquer forma ou modalidade de avaliação institucional e de autoavaliação que pode responder à multidimensionalidade e complexidade das escolas públicas enquanto organizações educativas específicas. Pelo facto de não existirem escolas iguais, a avaliação da escola deverá ser diferenciada e ajustada às realidades organizacionais para constituir um efetivo instrumento de desenvolvimento. O estudo empírico realizado no agrupamento X pretendeu recolher as perceções dos docentes do agrupamento em relação aos mecanismos de autoavaliação para a posterior elaboração de um dispositivo de autoavaliação. Este estudo permitiu reconhecer a importância atribuída aos processos de autoavaliação na promoção da melhoria da organização e do sucesso educativo dos alunos, bem como os constrangimentos associados a estes processos, sendo também apresentadas propostas para que este instrumento seja eficaz. Os resultados deste estudo foram as linhas orientadoras para a construção de um dispositivo de autoavaliação para o agrupamento X com a colaboração dos docentes, desenvolvendo um plano de ação com atividades definidas. Espera-se dar um contributo para implementar mudanças significativas, com vista à promoção de uma cultura de autorreflexão, de autoavaliação e de desenvolvimento sustentado da escola.

The questioning of fictional identities is central in both texts. Their structure illustrates the Bakhtinian notions of heteroglossia and dialogism and one of their main themes is the structuring and restructuring of social and personal history. Together with the use of irony and humour, the parody of social context, the use of intertextuality and metafiction, the exploration of fragment and of discontinuity, the development of self reflection and the interrogation of the author before the condition of his work, the focusing on the presence of a reader lost in the interpretation of the text, this problematisation of fictional identities places these two novels between the acts of modernism and postmodernism.

The mental ability to take the perspective of another person may depend on one's own bodily awareness and experience. In the present study, the former was defined as having a history of an eating disorder, and the latter variable was defined as formal experience with dance. The study used a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design in which reaction times in two mental perspective taking tasks were compared between female dancers and non-dancers with and without a former eating disorder. Participants were asked to imagine two perspectives: i) the position of front-facing and back-facing figures (3rd person perspective taking task) and ii) that these same figures are a self reflection in a mirror (1st person perspective taking task). In both tasks, a particular hand was indicated in the presented figures, and the participants had to decide whether the hand represented their own left or right hand. Overall, responses were slower for front-facing than back-facing figures in the 3rd person perspective taking task, and for back-facing than front-facing figures in the 1st person perspective taking task. Importantly, having a former history of an eating disorder related to a decreased performance in the 3rd person perspective taking task, but only in participants without dance experience. Results from an additional control group (a history of exercise but no dance experience) indicated that dance is particularly beneficial for mental bodily perspective taking. Dance experience, more so than exercise in general, can benefit 3rd person or extrapersonal perspective taking, supporting the favourable impact this exercise has on own body processing

BACKGROUND: In the past, implementation of effective palliative care curricula has emerged as a priority in medical education. In order to gain insight into medical students' needs and expectations, we conducted a survey before mandatory palliative care education was introduced in our faculty. METHODS: Seven hundred nine students answered a questionnaire mainly consisting of numeric rating scales (0-10). RESULTS: Participants attributed a high importance to palliative care for their future professional life (mean, 7.51 ± 2.2). For most students, symptom control was crucial (7.72 ± 2.2). However, even higher importance was assigned to ethical and legal issues (8.16 ± 1.9). "Self-reflection regarding their own role as a physician caring for the terminally ill along with psychological support" was also regarded as highly important (7.25 ± 2.4). Most students were moderately concerned at the prospect of being confronted with suffering and death (5.13 ± 2.4). This emotional distress was rated significantly higher by female students (5.4 ± 2.4 versus 4.6 ± 2.4; p < 0.001). Seventeen percent of all students rated their distress as being 7 of 10 or higher, which indicates a considerable psychological strain in terms of dealing with end-of-life issues in the future. Professional or personal experience with terminally ill persons lowered these anxieties significantly (4.99 ± 2.34 versus 5.47 ± 2.5, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Medical students stated a remarkably high interest in learning palliative care competencies. Responding to their specific concerns and needs-especially with regard to the acquisition of emotional coping skills-may be key for the development of successful palliative care curricula.

A descriptive, exploratory study is presented based on a questionnaire regarding the following aspects of reflective learning: a) self-knowledge, b) relating experience to knowledge, c) self-reflection, and d) self-regulation of the learning processes. The questionnaire was completed by students studying four different degree courses (social education, environmental sciences, nursing, and psychology). Specifically, the objectives of a self-reported reflective learning questionnaire are: i) to determine students’ appraisal of reflective learning methodology with regard to their reflective learning processes, ii) to obtain evidence of the main difficulties encountered by students in integrating reflective learning methodologies into their reflective learning processes, and iii) to collect students’ perceptions regarding the main contributions of the reflective learning processes they have experienced

Tutkimuksessani tarkastelin, miten ammatillinen kasvu ilmenee saksan opetusharjoittelijoiden näkemyksissä ja toiminnassa opettajan pedagogisiin opintoihin kuuluvan ohjatun harjoittelun aikana. Keräsin tutkimusaineiston lukuvuosina 2007–2010 kaikilta saksan opetusharjoittelijoilta, jotka suorittivat ohjatussa harjoittelussa vähintään 15 op Turun normaalikoulussa. Tutkimusaineistona käytin henkilökohtaisia harjoittelusuunnitelmia (HOPS) ja reflektiovihkoja, jotka ovat ohjatun harjoittelun normaaleja työvälineitä. Täydensin aineistoa ohjatun harjoittelun alussa toteutetulla kyselyllä ja harjoittelun päätteeksi tehdyllä puolistrukturoidulla teemahaastattelulla. Toimin tutkimuksen aikana Turun normaalikoulussa saksan opettajana ja aineryhmän harjoittelusta vastaavana opettajana. Tutkimuskysymykset tarkentuivat aineistolähtöisesti. Ensimmäinen tutkimuskysymys liittyi siihen, miten harjoittelijoiden ideaalit hyvästä vieraan kielen opetuksesta ja henkilökohtaiset tavoitteet toteutuivat ohjatun harjoittelun aikana. Alkukyselyn pohjalta ideaaleiksi nousivat vuorovaikutus ja monipuoliset työtavat, kulttuurin opettaminen, tavoitekielen käyttö luokkakielenä sekä selkeä kieliopin opetus. Tutkimuksessa kävi ilmi, että alkukyselyssä esiin tullut hyvän opettajan tai vieraan kielen opetuksen ideaali ei välttämättä näy opettajaksi opiskelevan HOPSeihin kirjatuissa henkilökohtaisissa tavoitteissa tai toteudu hänen harjoitustunneillaan. Parhaiten opetusharjoittelijat kokivat onnistuneensa vuorovaikutuksen luomisessa oppilaisiin ja opiskelijoihin sekä monipuolisten työtapojen käytössä. Eriyttäminen ja oppimaan oppimisen ohjaaminen koettiin hankalina. Suurin osa harjoittelijoista oli tyytyväisiä siihen, miten he onnistuivat tuomaan kulttuuria opetukseensa, kun taas tavoitekielen käyttö luokkakielenä ja kieliopin opetus koettiin haasteellisiksi. Toisessa tutkimuskysymyksessä tarkasteltiin, millainen ammatillinen näkemys vieraan kielen opiskelijalla on ohjatun harjoittelun jälkeen. Opetusharjoittelijat korostivat opettajan kasvatustyötä ja opettajien välistä yhteistyötä. Ajatus toimia saksan tai vieraan kielen opettajana oli vahvistunut pedagogisten opintojen aikana. Kolmas tutkimuskysymys kohdistui sen selvittämiseen, miten HOPS ja reflektiovihko toimivat harjoittelijoiden kasvun tukena. Harjoittelijoiden kirjallinen itsereflektio vaihteli syvällisistä pohdinnoista niukkiin merkintöihin. Suurimmassa osassa reflektiovihoista harjoittelijat olivat miettineet palautteissa esille tulleita asioita. HOPS ja reflektiovihko ovat tämän tutkimuksen perusteella toimivia harjoittelun ohjauksen välineitä, kunhan harjoittelijoita ohjataan niiden käytössä. Itsereflektion merkityksen puolesta puhuu se, että harjoittelijat, jotka olivat myös kirjallisesti pohtineet saksan käyttöä luokkakielenä, olivat muita tyytyväisempiä siihen, miten he kokivat onnistuneensa luokkakielen käytössä.

Sloyd as an activity concretizes man’s ability to, with the help of mind and body, reshape materials into objects and change her conditions for survival. The sloyd actor outside school works when the spirit moves her, while the pupil in school is expected to sloyd regardless of motivation. Subject teachers become experts on sloyd in educational settings, while the qualification requirements may set the class teachers’ voluntariness within parenthesis. All class teachers qualify to teach all core subjects of the national curriculum in Finland from preschool to grade six. The aim of the current thesis is to deepen the knowledge on how the science of sloyd education can support class teacher students’ future teaching in sloyd. In the empirical part of the study, Swedish-speaking Finnish class teacher students’ views on technical sloyd as one of their future subjects for teaching are examined. The class teacher’s qualifying skills in teaching technical sloyd are expected to take shape during only a few ECTS study points. The teacher students’ experience of the subject from the pupil’s perspective is supposed to move into a budding teacher subject. In a research-based teacher education, self-reflection and reflection as a dialogue are extended aided by research results. Intuitive thinking interplays with rational thinking during this time. The teacher student’s approach to make use of the autonomous free space in teaching is, in the current thesis, as considerations where the individual weighs the pros and cons in relation to various phenomena in sloyd and the school overall. The basis for an individual autonomy is shaped and is expected to interplay on the common arena of autonomy. In the exercise of their profession, the class teacher teaching sloyd is expected to oscillate between the sloyd educational practice and theory. The first step in this movement within the teacher education is the coverage of a selection of theories during the studies. The empirical part of the study is carried out at two separate occasions with directed open-ended interviews with fifteen class teacher students in the beginning and end of their first year of study. The data was analysed with a hermeneutic approach and a qualitatively oriented approach to content analysis. The results are mirrored against theory within the science of sloyd education. The results show that class teacher students have a versatile view of educational sloyd. The overall results overthrow parts of the researcher’s pre-understanding. The viewpoint of the students seems to broaden from a merely manual activity to seeing sloyd as an educational activity. In order for the results to gain significance in the teacher education of the future, a line of reasoning is conducted in order to recommend an extended dialogue and thirteen possible themes for enriching discussions are put forth as a result of the present study. The extended dialogue focuses on that teacher education should make conscious ventures to create opportunities for the students to take part in effective discussions on the subject of sloyd, complementing the existing dialogue between the teacher educator and the students. This thesis lends support to reflections on the following aspects of educational sloyd in these dialogues: the reasons for why the sloyd subject exists, the ambitions of the subject, the content and organization of the subject for students as well as for the teacher educators.
