“…30 As students gained confidence in their SDL ability, they were more willing to become independent in their learning. 37 Additionally, one study conducted of residents indicated that different levels of confidence affected how they approached SDL. Over time, residents naturally become more confident when identifying and using the appropriate resources for a given objective, 12 which enabled the SDL process.…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the level of medical students’ self-directed learning (SDL) ability in mainland China and to identify its modifiable influencing factors for medical educators to take measures to improve medical professionals’ ability in SDL.DesignThis was a cross-sectional study conducted between January and June 2019.SettingThis study involved students from five medical colleges located in the cities of Shenyang, Binzhou, Xuzhou, Shanghai and Guangzhou of mainland China.ParticipantsParticipants included 365 medical students and residents sampled by the stratified clustered random method from five medical colleges.MethodsThe t-test, F-test and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to test the association between personal and contextual factors of medical students and SDL.ResultsThe mean total SDL score was 76.12 (SD=10.96), implying that Chinese mainland medical students had moderate SDL ability. A univariate analysis found that the personal characteristics of confidence, students’ enjoyment of their specialty, utilisation of library resources, learning goals and habits and academic performance as well as the contextual factors of age, gender, learning resources, family income and group discussion were significantly associated with the total SDL score (p<0.05). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that academic performance, learning goals, confidence, learning resources, utilisation of library resources, family income and age were significantly associated with the total SDL score (p<0.05).ConclusionOur study indicated that the contextual factors of learning resources, family income and age as well as the personal factors of academic performance, learning goals, confidence and utilisation of library resources were associated with medical students’ SDL ability in mainland China. It may be advisable to implement appropriate teaching strategies to improve students’ confidence and assist them establish learning goals, as well as to amplify school learning resources and encourage students to use them fully.

“…The review also contributed to the development of the didactic design of ET on SF, when it was defined that it would be presented in the form of an interactive and self-explanatory laboratory, using learning stations. Thus, the activity was set up to allow the participant to learn in an autonomous, dynamic and playful way, sharpening the use of the senses when exploring and experiencing the educational environments of each station (33)(34)(35) .…”

Objective: to develop and validate an interactive educational technology on spotted fever, to offer an innovative teaching method. Method: a methodological study that covered the following stages: analysis and diagnosis; instructional planning, didactic design, review, and validation and production of technology. Results: the analysis and diagnosis were obtained from experiences in education and health activities for spotted fever. In the instructional planning, it was defined that the technology would be presented in the form of an Interactive Laboratory, with learning stations. The production of the Laboratory was carried out by a multidisciplinary team made up of a carpenter, an electrician, and a plastic artist, among others. The review and validation process was subdivided into two stages: appearance and content validation by professionals in the fields of biology, and education and semantic validation by students of the Nursing and Pedagogy courses. The results of the appearance and content validation showed a content validity index over 0.8 for the vast majority of the variables. In the semantic validation, the Laboratory was evaluated positively by the students. Conclusion: the trajectory followed for the construction of the Interactive Laboratory on spotted fever gave academic and scientific support to the product, offering an innovative educational resource with pedagogical potential that values significant learning.

“…These findings indicate that a pedagogical strategy molded in an environment of nursing care does not reach its goal effectively when these experiences become not healthy. [11][12][13][14] Other factor attributed to unhealthy work environments, which has been noticed by students, are musculoskeletal complications caused by work activities. Since their professional formation, the students notice the unhealthy condition of the environments, including teaching environments 15 .…”

“…As a result, to reach its objectives, this teaching-learning environment must be consolidated as a healthy one, especially considering the goal of overcoming the punitive aspect of evaluations. [11][12][13][14] The association of the teaching-learning environment with musculoskeletal disorders works opposed to the positive perspective there is in an environment to promote health, suggesting the adoption of strategies to promote protective investments in ergonomics and biomechanics. These strategies should involve planning the environment and its material conditions, as well as pedagogical planning with cross-sectional syllabi involving moving, elevating, transferring, and handling people, as well as physical exercise programs.…”

Background: the concept of Healthy Work Environments is part of the context of professional training in nursing as a reference for promoting the health of the subjects of this process. Objective: to identify how professors and students of undergraduate courses in Nursing perceive the “Healthy Work Environments” in the teaching-learning process. Method: scoping review performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, LILACS and BDENF, considering studies regardless of type, language and year of publication. The guiding question was guided by the mnemonic strategy: Population, Concept, Context. The data underwent descriptive, bibliometric and exploratory analysis. Results: 386 references were identified, 83 were selected to be read in full, of which 56 were part of the final sample. Thus, two categories were created: “Healthy Work Environments: spaces for teaching and health services” and “Strategies for promoting a Healthy Environment”. Conclusion: the concepts under analysis show the experiences of students in environments of educational institutions and health services. Regarding the teachers' practices, working conditions emerged in areas of infrastructure, subjectivities and institutional organization and work policies.
