As atividades em busca de complementação da formação e aumento da experiência clínica dos alunos de Medicina - eqüidistantes e livres de controles acadêmicos - configuram o chamado "currículo paralelo". O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o "currículo paralelo" dos alunos do ciclo profissional do curso médico da Faculdade de Medicina da UFMG, relativo ao primeiro semestre de 2004. Foram entrevistados 232 alunos, por meio de questionário estruturado, com dez seções, que avaliaram as atividades extracurriculares de plantões, enfermarias, ambulatórios, projetos, grupos de estudo, grupos de raciocínio clínico, extensão e publicações. Cada estudante respondeu sobre o período em curso (primeiro semestre de 2004) e sobre o período anterior. Os resultados mostraram que o "currículo paralelo" estava presente para a grande maioria dos alunos, com 82,5% deles com atividades e uma média de 3,4 por aluno e ocupando, em média, 8,2 horas semanais. A atividade mais presente foi a de extensão, seguida pelas de projetos e plantões. As principais motivações para as atividades foram a aquisição de maior experiência clínica e um melhor currículo.
Research into attitudes towards chemistry in Latin America and indeed towards science in general is very limited. The present study aimed to adapt and validate a shortened version of Bauer's Attitude toward the Subject of Chemistry Inventory version 2 (ASCIv2) for use in a Latin American context. It also explored attitudes towards chemistry of Chilean secondary school students, and assessed the effect of school type, year group, gender, and chemistry achievement on both cognitive and affective dimensions. The participants were 523 secondary school students from public, private subsidised, and private schools in Chile. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were first carried out to validate ASCIv2. The results of CFA showed that ASCIv2 retained the two-factor structure and showed optimal model fit, but three items had to be removed from the original instrument. The research also showed that attitudes towards science were neither positive nor negative, a reality similar to that of other countries. The results of multivariate and univariate analyses of variance showed significant effects of year group and chemistry achievement on attitudes towards chemistry. No effects of school type, gender or interactions between factors were found. Follow-up analyses revealed that as students advance through school their attitudes decline, but that the higher their chemistry marks, the more positive their attitudes become. These findings are partially in line with previous data from other countries and are a starting point for more research into attitudes towards chemistry in Latin America.
DispoGrafo: una nueva herramienta computacional para el anAlisis de relaciones semanticas en el lexico disponible 1 DispoGrafo. A new computational tool for the analysis of semantic relations in lexical availability RESUMEN Se desarrolló un programa computacional destinado a apoyar el análisis psicolingüístico de los términos elicitados mediante encuestas de léxico disponible. Utilizando un algoritmo basado fundamentalmente en las relaciones de secuencia de las palabras disponibles, nuestro programa, DispoGrafo, ingresa los términos elicitados y genera luego automáticamente grafos cuyos nodos representan palabras y cuyas aristas simbolizan las relaciones entre ellas. Los grafos se interpretan como redes semánticas cuya configuración expresa las relaciones semánticas subyacentes en el corpus. El software permite, además, eliminar las conexiones débiles (de menor peso) para así dejar sólo las relaciones más robustas y visualizar de este modo las relaciones más relevantes.Palabras claves: Disponibilidad léxica, redes semánticas, psicolingüística computacional. ABSTRACTA computer program was developed to support psycholinguistic analyses of words elicited in lexical availability tests. By means of an algorithm based on word sequence relations, our program, DispoGrafo, inputs elicited words to automatically generate graphs in which 1 Trabajo financiado mediante Proyecto Fondecyt 1050598-2005.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
