Encouraging practitioners to use resources: evaluation of the national implementation of a resource to improve the clinical management of alcohol-related problems in Indigenous primary care settings

This paper reports on the evaluation of the implementation of the National Recommendations for the Clinical Management of Alcohol-Related Problems in Indigenous Primary Care Settings undertaken in 2001 through 74 standardized workshops, which sought to determine: ( 1) whether this approach to implementation influenced the likelihood that the National Recommendations would be used; ( 2) whether it influenced participants' willingness to engage with Indigenous patients regarding alcohol-related issues; and ( 3) whether the implementation as a whole influenced both practice and clinicians' willingness to engage. Evaluation included pre-/post-workshop and follow-up questionnaires and a focus group. The findings presented indicate that distribution of clinical resources alone is not sufficient to ensure use and that, particularly for medical practitioners, appropriate introduction not only increases use but also positively influences willingness to engage with alcohol-related problems as part of primary clinical care. Further, the enthusiasm for guideline production should be tempered by the need to develop effective implementation strategies.

A flexible and practical framework for reporting on ecologically sustainable development for wild capture fisheries

The principles of sustainable development (or ecologically sustainable development as it is known in Australia) are now accepted as the foundation for natural resource management worldwide and there are increasing community expectations that they will be implemented explicitly. Previous attempts to assess sustainable development for fisheries have mostly failed because the methods have been too restrictive, often attempting to develop a single set of indicators. In 2000, all the fishery agencies and major stakeholder groups in Australia supported the development of a National ESD Framework. This initiative resulted in a practical system being generated through the results of a series of case studies and stakeholder workshops. The Australian National ESD Framework divides ESD into eight major components within the three main categories of ecological well-being, human well-being and ability to contribute: Four main steps are used to complete an ESD report for a fishery: (1) identify relevant issues, (2) prioritise these using risk assessment, (3) complete appropriately detailed reports on each issue and (4) compile the material into a report. The tools to assist this process are now available and have been used to generate reports for many Australian fisheries. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The rural medicine rotation: Increasing rural recruitment through quality undergraduate rural experiences

TITLE: The Rural Medicine Rotation: Increasing Rural Recruitment through Quality Undergraduate Rural Experiences Eley Diann, University of Queensland, School of Medicine, Rural Clinical Division, Toowoomba 4350, Queensland Australia Baker Peter, University of Queensland, School of Medicine Rural, Clinical Division, Toowoomba 4350, Queensland Australia Chater Bruce, University of Queensland, Chair, Clinical School Management Committee, School of Medicine Rural Clinical Division, Queensland Australia CONTEXT: While rural background and rural exposure during medical training increases the likelihood of rural recruitment (Wilkinson, 2003), the quality and content of that exposure is the key to altering undergraduatesâ?? perceptions of rural practice. The Rural Clinical Division at University of Queensland (UQ) runs the Rural Medicine Rotation (RMR) within the School of Medicine. The RMR is one of five eight week clinical rotations in Year three and is compulsory for all students. The RMR provides the opportunity to learn from a wide range of health professionals and clinical exposure is not restricted to general practice but also includes remote area nursing, Indigenous health care, allied health professionals and medical specialists. Week 1 involves preparation for their rural placement with workshops and seminars and Week 8 consolidates their placement and includes case and project presentations and a summative assessment. Weeks 2-7 are spent living and working as part of the health team in different rural communities. SETTING: Rural communities in and around Queensland including locations such as Arnham Land, Thursday Island, Mt. Isa and Alice Springs METHOD: All aspects of the RMR are evaluated with surveys using both qualitative and quantitative free response questions, completed by all students at the end of the Week 8. RESULTS: Overall the RMR is evaluated highly and narratives offered by students show that the RMR provides a positive rural experience. The overall impact of the RMR for students in 2004 ranked 3.45 on a scale of 1 to 4 (1 = lowest and 4 = highest), and is exemplified by the following quote; â??I enjoyed my placement so much I am now considering rural medicine something I definitely had not considered beforeâ??. OUTCOME: The positive impact of the RMR on studentâ??s perceptions of rural medicine is encouraging and can help achieve the overall aim of increasing recruitment of the rural workforce in Australia.

Dilemmas in Framing Research Studies in Engineering Education

There has been considerable debate about the need for more empirical, evidence based studies of the impact of various interventions and practices in engineering education. A number of resources including workshops to guide engineering faculty in the conduct of such studies have emerged over recent years. This paper presents a critique of the evolution of engineering education research and its underlying assumptions in the context of the systemic reform currently underway in engineering education. This critique leads to an analysis of the ways in which our current understanding of engineering, engineering education and research in engineering education is shaped by the traditions and cultural characteristics of the profession and grounded, albeit implicitly, in a particular suite of epistemological assumptions. It is argued that the whole enterprise of engineering education needs to be radically reconceptualized. A pluralistic approach to framing scholarship in engineering education is then proposed based on the principles of demonstrable practicality, critical interdisciplinarity and holistic reflexivity. This new framework has implications for engaging and developing faculty in the context of new teaching and learning paradigms, for the evaluation of the scholarship of teaching and for the research-teaching nexus.

É um Luxo Trabalhar com Religião e AIDS! Uma Análise Sobre o Caderno AIDS e Igrejas: Um Convite à Ação No Grupo de Trabalho Religiões do Estado de São Paulo.

No ano de 2005 foi publicado o Caderno AIDS e Igrejas: um Convite à Ação , idealizado pela organização KOINONIA- Presença Ecumênica e Serviço e tendo como objetivo instigar nas igrejas protestantes, respostas de prevenção e de cuidado diante da pandemia de HIV/AIDS. O Grupo de Trabalho Religiões (GT) foi destinado pelo Programa Estadual de DST/AIDS para ser um espaço no qual as diversas matrizes religiosas pudessem dialogar e pensar em estratégias de prevenção juntamente com técnicos responsáveis pela saúde da população. O Caderno foi publicado mediante recursos públicos com a supervisão dos profissionais do Centro de Referência e Treinamento em DST/AIDS. Através das oficinas de multiplicadores destinadas ao público de diversas igrejas, o AIDS e Igrejas tem sido utilizado como instrumental didático para orientação e formação. Explicitamos os motivos que provocaram a relação entre as entidades envolvidas na publicação do Caderno. Exploramos o conteúdo presente no AIDS e Igrejas analisando os temas mais pertinentes como os seus objetivos e sua metodologia. Destacamos o sentido do conceito comunidade terapêutica sugerido pela organização ecumênica como modelo de acolhimento e cuidado às pessoas que vivem e convivem com HIV/AIDS. Igualmente verificamos como os temas AIDS, Sexualidade e Dogma se relacionam na publicação. Também avaliamos qual a práxis utilizada por KOINONIA na aplicação do Caderno nas oficinas que formam seus multiplicadores. Nas considerações finais ressaltamos a cooperação estabelecida entre o Estado e KOINONIA, através da publicação do Caderno AIDS e Igrejas: um Convite à Ação , na superação do estigma e da discriminação em relação às pessoas que vivem e convivem com HIV/AIDS.

PROFESSOR ENSINA! MAS, QUEM ENSINA O PROFESSOR? Relações de Aprendizagem Mediadas pelas Tecnologias

A discussão sobre a formação de Professores sempre foi um desafio, especialmente em se tratando dos caminhos e descaminhos acerca das práticas cotidianas e, muito mais, ainda hoje, com a inserção da tecnologia dentro das salas de aula. A pesquisa investigou se o uso da tecnologia favorece a interação professor-aluno e se isso se torna um facilitador na busca de novos conhecimentos, colaborando para a alteração da prática cotidiana. Para desenvolver tais discussões realizamos uma revisão da literatura e da legislação sobre a formação de professores no contexto brasileiro e sobre a formação de professores e as tecnologias. Elaboramos análises das ações do Governo Federal, privilegiando o contexto do Estado de São Paulo por ser o foco da nossa investigação. Para a realização da pesquisa de campo contamos com a colaboração de professores do Ensino Fundamental II e do Ensino Médio de Escolas Estaduais e os responsáveis das Oficinas Pedagógicas das Diretorias de Ensino dos Municípios de Santo André e Mauá para a aplicação de um questionário e realização de entrevistas de aprofundamento. Verificamos que os esforços de implantação de projetos desenvolvidos pela rede estadual esbarram na burocracia e na descontinuidade, provocadas pela mudança de administração, onde se priorizam os interesses pessoais em detrimento dos interesses coletivos. Em contrapartida, encontramos os formadores nas Diretorias de Ensino, que precisam atender todas as questões administrativas e políticas, e, ao mesmo tempo, darem conta da formação continuada dos professores, resolvendo problemas que, muitas vezes, estão longe de suas possibilidades e verificamos também que o uso da tecnologia na atividade docente ainda não é o esperado, ou seja, estes professores não fazem uso pedagógico do computador, porém, o uso aumentou sistematicamente, mas trazê-lo para a sala de aula ainda é um desafio e reflete a forma de agir e de pensar dos professores envolvidos no processo desta pesquisa.
