Teaching of medical ethics: Implications for an integrated curriculum

This paper reports on an investigation into the teaching of medical ethics and related areas in the medical undergraduate course at the University of Queensland. The project was designed in the context of a major curriculum change to replace the current 6 year course by an integrated, problem-based, 4 year graduate medical course, which began in 1997. A survey of clinical students, observations of clinical teaching sessions, and interviews with clinical teachers were conducted. Data obtained have contributed to curriculum development and will provide a baseline for comparison and evaluation of the graduate course in this field. A view of integrated ethics teaching is advanced in the light of the data obtained.

The development of professor's professional knowledge in Psychology

This work belongs to the Project "Teaching and learning Psychology: a study of the educational practice in professors and beginners". It is part of an investigation program developed in the context of the subject "Didactic and Practical Planning of Psychology teaching" in which we have been working since 1998. This subject is also considered as the final stage of the formative itinerary for Psychology s professors. The reached results show the incidence that the beliefs and professors' representations have in the teaching processes. By getting into the studies centered in the educational knowledge we guide the inquiry around the development of the professor's professional knowledge and particularly the development of their formation. Our proposal contemplates a formation device which incorporates the observation, reflection, evaluation and self-evaluation of the practice in order to facilitate the reconstruction, significance and re-significance of the teaching and learning processes by giving relevance to the development of the teacher professional knowledge. The analysis of teaching practices process reveals that the mediations that cross the knowledge in the being taught instances are constituted in reflections axes. This involves the future professor's relationship with the knowledge and their projection in the construction of the professional identity.

The Impact of Student Response Systems on the Learning Experience of Undergraduate Psychology Students

Student response systems (SRS) are hand-held devices or mobile phone polling systems which collate real-time, individual responses to on-screen questions. Previous research examining their role in higher education has highlighted both advantages and disadvantages of their use. This paper explores how different SRS influence the learning experience of psychology students across different levels of their programme. Across two studies, first year students’ experience of using Turningpoint clickers and second year students’ experience of using Poll Everywhere was investigated. Evaluations of both studies revealed that SRS has a number of positive impacts on learning, including enhanced engagement, active learning, peer interaction, and formative feedback. Technical and practical issues emerged as consistent barriers to the use of SRS. Discussion of these findings and the authors’ collective experiences of these technologies are used to provide insight into the way in which SRS can be effectively integrated within undergraduate psychology programmes.

Práticas educacionais distintas: a psicologia no ensino médio paulista

Este artigo visa discutir, à luz da aprovação do Parecer n. 38/06 do Conselho Nacional de Educação que torna obrigatório o ensino de Filosofia e Sociologia no ensino médio, a pertinência do ensino de Psicologia, em particular no Estado de São Paulo, onde esta disciplina vem progressivamente perdendo espaço. Subsidia o debate, pesquisa de caráter etnográfico, composta por dois estudos de caso realizados em estabelecimentos de ensino, um público e um privado, do município de São Paulo, onde foram acompanhadas aulas de Psicologia mediante observação e analisadas questões relativas ao ensino dessa disciplina. Aspectos característicos de cada escola levaram a refletir sobre as disparidades do sistema educacional paulista, conduzindo à discussão sobre o ensino de Psicologia e sua contribuição, como ciência, nesse cenário.

Regulació motivacional, satisfacció i rendiment acadèmic dels estudiants de psicologia

Aquest estudi aplica la Teoria de l‟Autodeterminació (Deci i Ryan, 1985, 2000, 2002) i el constructe motivacional d‟Engagement (Schaufeli, Martínez, Marqués, Salanova i Bakker, 2002; Schaufeli, Salanova, González-Roma i Bakker, 2002) per investigar els efectes de la regulació motivacional dels estudiants, l‟Engagement, la Competència percebuda i la Vinculació sobre les Expectatives Acadèmiques i Laborals, la Satisfacció i el Rendiment acadèmic. Els resultats revelen que: (1) els 214 estudiants de Psicologia de la Universitat de Girona que varen participar en la recerca mostren alts nivells d‟autonomia (Regulació Identificada i Intrínseca), però nivells moderats d‟Engagement (Vigor i Absorció, i una mica més alts de Dedicació); (2) les intercorrelacions entre totes les variables motivacionals considerades confirmen les prediccions de la Teoria de l‟Autodeterminació i del model motivacional de l‟Engagement; (3) la Competència percebuda prediu les Expectatives Acadèmiques, mentre que la Motivació Intrínseca i l‟Engagement prediuen les Expectatives Laborals; (4) l‟Amotivació i el Cinisme (en sentit negatiu) i la Motivació Intrínseca i l‟Engagement (en positiu) prediuen la Satisfacció amb la carrera; i (5) l‟Amotivació (en negatiu) i la Competència percebuda (en positiu) prediuen el Rendiment acadèmic

La formació en primers auxilis psicològics i emergències en el títol de grau en psicologia

En el nou marc universitari que dibuixa l’adaptació de les titulacions a l’Espai Europeud’Educació Superior, es proposa que el titulat de grau en Psicologia acabi la carrera amb lescompetències bàsiques mínimes d’ajut psicològic que li permetin fer front a situacionsd’emergència inesperades i reaccionar de manera professional sense empitjorar la situació operjudicar l’estat de les víctimes, i amb un mínim de seguretat en allò què ha de fer o, al menys,en allò que no ha de fer. Es considera que hauria de tenir, com a mínim, el mateix nivell deformació que tenen altres col·lectius que habitualment es troben implicats en una emergència(personal sanitari, bombers, voluntaris, etc.) per tal que no es trobi en inferioritat de condicionspel que es refereix a la manera de proporcionar primers auxilis psicològics a víctimes. Esproposa un programa formatiu en el títol de grau en Psicologia
