Health education characteristics from the perspective of the 4.0 revolution

2024-05-28T19:59:33+00:00

Education 4.0 is revolutionizing health education with technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, telehealth, and social networks. Curricular and pedagogical adaptation is required to train competent professionals in these areas. Improving the quality of education involves overcoming difficulties in the implementation, guaranteeing equal access to digital technologies, and promoting flexible learning. Preparing health professionals to make use of these tools, analyze data, and optimize health care is essential for the future of the sector by integrating these innovations into the training of human resources in health.

New policy for access to initial teacher education in Chile: effects on enrollment by gender

2024-08-07T19:37:15+00:00

This study examines the gender gap in access to teacher education programs in Chile, according to the admission criteria defined in the new teacher professional development policy. Gender differences are identified, quantified, and compared between 2015 and 2022 according to the following dimensions: socioeconomic status, rurality, and area of specialization in pedagogy. The results show that the gap in the factor based on high school grades favors women, while the gap in the standardized test favors men, and these differences are more pronounced. Understanding this effect of access mechanisms on gender inequalities allows us to inform policies aimed at attracting and training teachers.

The use of a cross-media narrative as the central axis of a multidisciplinary didactic strategy

2024-05-14T18:51:32+00:00

This paper describes a didactic strategy that was built around the television miniseries WandaVision, a cross-media narrative that was used as the axis to articulate an integrative project for the training of first-year undergraduate students. This project, entitled Laboratorio de Productos Comunicacionales, was part of an academic continuity program to address the health contingency caused by Covid-19. As it is a narrative that illustrates the history of the television medium, WandaVision was useful for enriching the dialogue between seven subjects related to training in communication. At the end of the project, students produced microvideos, which enhanced their profile as content producers. This experience, framed in the edutainment theory, represents an innovation by using a series as a central didactic resource to obtain significant learning for the professional field.

Admission to Higher Education in Music: A Narrative Review of the Brazilian Literature

2024-10-08T12:26:39+00:00

This paper aims to survey the gray literature publications on admission tests for undergraduate music programs (THE), focusing on the proceedings of events organized by the Brazilian Association of Music Education (ABEM) and the National Association of Research and Graduate Studies in Music (Anppom). Methodologically, we conducted a narrative review supported by the grounded theory approach. The results show that among the 8 123 published articles, only twenty addressed the topic of THE, divided into four types of writing: experience reports, documentary, empirical, and theoretical research. Regarding their content, the texts discuss the following matters: organization of the THE; historical description of the test in the institution; conceptualization, values, and beliefs about the THE; the candidates’ prior training; and problematic issues of/about the THE.

Aspirations and gender violence in mexican universities

2024-10-10T02:39:38+00:00

The university as an institution is gendered because it produces cultural practices and representations of femininities and masculinities that express power relations, reinforce the sexual division of labor, and create gender inequalities. In this context, we study the expressions of gender violence in the university and its influence on women’s aspirations. Based on a qualitative analysis of 118 interviews with students from six Mexican universities, we report on the violence they experience, elaborated about three areas of the community: the university, the workplace, and the family.

Transition to the University of Rural Students in Chile

2023-12-20T16:17:15+00:00

This study aims to understand how rural contexts condition access to university from the perspective of students who managed to access it. A qualitative methodology was employed to conduct interviews with 12 young people from different rural backgrounds in the O’Higgins region of Chile. The results show that all students reported having high expectations of entering university. Students with the highest levels of rurality received greater support from their schools, but perceived lower quality in their education. In addition, geographic distance emerged as one of the main factors that hinder access to higher education.

Adaptation, retention, and degree completion of higher education: indigenous, afro-ecuadorian and montubio students at Universidad San Francisco de Quito

2024-04-02T19:23:32+00:00

This research examines how adaptation impacts the retention and completion of university studies for indigenous, afro-ecuadorian, and montubio students at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ). Carried out in Ecuador, this research highlights the growth in access to higher education for these groups, despite the historical inequality gap in education, related to ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. The results show that, although adaptation is important, it is not a determining factor in the completion of studies, since each group has the skills to meet academic demands.

Experience of university students with disabilities and special educational needs participating in Ddiagnostic and academic leveling processes

2024-06-29T17:23:42+00:00

This paper aimed to explore the experience of students with disabilities or special educational needs (SEN) from a Chilean university in the diagnostic and academic leveling processes during their admission process into higher education. For this purpose, a qualitative study was carried out with a single case design, where two focus groups were conducted with the participation of 11 students with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), low vision, and blindness. Through a content analysis, it was revealed that the participants’ experience was understood through the axes of barriers and opportunities for inclusive participation. Among the obstacles were inopportune conditions and accessibility difficulties of both processes. Meanwhile, the opportunities revealed the presence of an inclusion program within the university that fulfilled the role of validating disabilities or sen in front of teachers and supporting the students in the adjustments for equitable participation in these academic instances.
