“…However, this process may not always proceed to the desired level, as shown by some Scandinavian studies 103–105 . Various challenges, such as emotional shock 91,105,106 and language barriers, 96,101,107 may impede the learning process, which is promoted by building relationships with the host community, home faculty and peers 99,106,108–110 . Similarly, interpretivist studies in allied health describe a sequence of stages in the process when students adapt to the workplace and develop cultural competence using problem solving and creativity to overcome initial challenges 111–117 .…”

“…In nursing, interpretivist research shows how students move through different stages in their development towards cultural competence. 65,[89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102] In the initial stages, negative preconceptions of the host culture predominate, with students moving further in this process by examining critically their assumptions and appreciating the validity of other perspectives, which may result in transformation of their own perspectives. However, this process may not always proceed to the desired level, as shown by some Scandinavian studies.…”

IntroductionIn order to be prepared for professional practice in a globalised world, health professions students need to be equipped with a new set of knowledge, skills and attitudes. Experiential learning gained during an international placement has been considered as a powerful strategy for facilitating the acquisition of global health competencies.The aim of this review was to synthesise the diverse body of empirical research examining the process and outcomes of international short‐term placements in health professions education.MethodsA systematic review was conducted using a meta‐narrative methodology. Six electronic databases were searched between September 2016 and June 2022: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Education Research Complete and Web of Knowledge. Studies were included if they reported on international placements undertaken by undergraduate health professions students in socio‐economically contrasting settings. Included studies were first considered within their research tradition before comparing and contrasting findings between different research traditions.ResultsThis review included 243 papers from 12 research traditions, which were distinguished by health profession and paradigmatic approach. Empirical findings were considered in four broad themes: learner, educational intervention, institutional context and wider context. Most studies provided evidence on the learner, with findings indicating a positive impact of international placements on personal and professional development. The development of cultural competency has been more focus in research in nursing and allied health than in medicine. Whereas earlier research has focussed on the experience and outcomes for the learner, more recent studies have become more concerned with relationships between various stakeholder groups. Only few studies have looked at strategies to enhance the educational process.ConclusionThe consideration of empirical work from different perspectives provides novel understandings of what research has achieved and what needs further investigation. Future studies should pay more attention to the complex nature of the educational process in international placements.

Introduction. The relevance of the study is determined by the search for new pedagogical technologies for the formation, preservation and reproduction of traditional cultural values in the socio-cultural space of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North and Siberia. The social transformation processes experienced today by these nations predetermine the need to change the main pedagogical approaches to preservation of their traditional culture. The purpose of the article is the analysis of modern ethnopedagogical practices aimed at formation of favourable educational environment for children belonging to indigenous minorities of the North and Siberia living in Krasnoyarsk region. Materials and methods: 1) fieldwork in places of compact residence of Dolgans, Selkups, Evenks, 2) quantitative analysis of the content of 14 web resources devoted to the traditional culture of Evenks, Dolgans, Selkups; 3) organisation of 12 semi-structured interviews with experts in the field of education and culture of small-numbered indigenous peoples of the North and Siberia; 4) questioning of 650 Evenks living in Krasnoyarsk region; 5) comparative analysis of the factual survey results. Results. A survey of 7 northern settlements of Krasnoyarsk region inhabited by indigenous minorities of the North and Siberia was carried out; the survey revealed a low degree of native language proficiency among the Evenks in the age group under 19 years old (in 1997, the Evenk language was considered native by 6.7% of the Evenks in this group; in 2017, the Evenk language was not deemed by this group participants to be their native language; in 1997, the Russian language was considered to be the native language by 88.2% of the Evenks aged 10 to 19, in 2017 – by 91.7%). Over the 10 years, the share of Evenks who are fluent in the Evenk language decreased twofold (from 31.1% in 1997 to 15.1% in 2017). The overall expert assessment formed through analysis of 12 semi-structured interviews makes it possible to conclude on the change in the ethnopedagogical practices of the indigenous peoples of the North and Siberia in studying the native languages, in connection with “retirement” of the native language from the practice of everyday communication. All of the 12 experts recorded the shift of the educational practices of the indigenous minorities, as to the study of their native languages, to the similar practice involving the mastery of foreign languages. The overwhelming majority of experts (10 out of 12) believe that the observed efficiency of school education in the North and the Arctic is connected with the development of online education and increased availability of federal educational platforms for schoolchildren of northern settlements. Some of the ethnopedagogical practices are being transferred to cyberspace. The traditional culture of the indigenous minorities of the North and Siberia assumes virtual forms characteristic of the modern informational Internet environment.
