Netzbasierte interkulturelle Zusammenarbeit gewinnt in verschiedensten Bereichen mehr und mehr an Bedeutung und wird dementsprechend auch in der Lehre - speziell in E-Learning-Settings immer häufiger thematisiert. Neben den technischen und organisatorischen Herausforderungen gibt es eine ganze Reihe didaktischer Aspekte die es bei der Konzeption und der Durchführung derartiger Arrangements zu beachten gilt. (...)

[pt] O presente estudo surgiu, orientado pela necessidade de sistematizar uma experiência diferenciada, no Ensino de Design, com práticas pedagógicas disruptivas, voltadas para o desenvolvimento humano, mediadas por dinâmicas vivenciais e apoiadas pelas redes sociais. Diante da expertise adquirida na prática profissional da autora e do cenário educacional atual, com todas as benesses e agruras tecnológicas e digitais, essa pesquisa propõe uma aproximação do Ensino de Design à educação voltada ao desenvolvimento harmônico do Ser, em todas as suas dimensões. Para isso, percorre o Caminho Quádruplo, que se baseia nas raízes míticas mais profundas da humanidade. Seus aspectos, mental, corporal, social, cultural, bem como as funções da consciência, pensamento, sensação, sentimento e intuição, são estimuladas por meio do ensino híbrido, da interação e da colaboração, apoiadas pelas redes sociais, utilizadas como plataformas de aprendizagem. É nesta bidirecionalidade, entre dois mundos: o de saberes ancestrais e um mundo tecnológico que este trabalho aponta novas práticas pedagógicas que contribuem para uma formação interdisciplinar e transcultural do estudante de Design. Para que essa aproximação fosse possível, a pesquisa se delineou em algumas etapas. A primeira esclarece alguns conceitos fundamentais em que este trabalho se inscreve, a segunda mostra o caminho pessoal da autora, que deu origem a esse trabalho, na terceira etapa se inicia a jornada pelo Caminho Quádruplo dividida em: O caminho do Guerreiro (Dimensão Social - Pensamento), O caminho do Curador (Dimensão Corporal – Sensação), O caminho do Visionário (Dimensão Cultural – Intuição) e o caminho do Mestre (Dimensão Mental – Sentimento). Por fim a quarta etapa aponta para a despedida deste caminhar de forma integrada. / [en] The present study emerged, guided by the need to systematize a differentiated experience, in Design Teaching, with disruptive pedagogical practices, focused on human development, mediated by experiential dynamics and supported by social networks. Given the expertise acquired in the author s professional practice and the current educational scenario, with all the technological and digital benefits and hardships, this research proposes an approximation of Design Teaching to education aimed at the harmonious development of the Being, in all its dimensions. To do so, it follows the Quadruple Path, which is based on the deepest mythical roots of humanity. Its mental, bodily, social, cultural aspects, as well as the functions of consciousness, thought, sensation, feeling and intuition, are stimulated through blended learning, interaction and collaboration, supported by social networks, used as learning platforms. It is in this bidirectionality, between two worlds: that of ancestral knowledge and a technological world that this work points out new pedagogical practices that contribute to an interdisciplinary and transcultural training of the Design student. For this approximation to be possible, the research was outlined in some stages. The first clarifies some fundamental concepts in which this work is inscribed, the second shows the author s personal path, which gave rise to this work, in the third stage begins the journey through the Quadruple Path divided into: The Warrior s Path (Social Dimension - Thought), The Healer s Path (Body Dimension - Sensation), The Visionary s Path (Cultural Dimension - Intuition) and the Master s Path (Mental Dimension - Feeling). Finally, the fourth stage points to the farewell of this walk in an integrated way.

Contexte. La présence limitée d’infirmières expérimentées force les milieux de soin à solliciter les infirmières débutantes avec peu d’expérience pour jouer le rôle de préceptrice. Pour tenter de remédier à la difficulté de recrutement de préceptrices, l’unité collaborative d’apprentissage (UCA) a été mise en place en 2003 en Colombie-Britannique. L’UCA est un modèle d’enseignement et d’apprentissage où une étudiante est assignée à une unité plutôt qu’à une préceptrice spécifique. Objectifs. Le but de cette étude était d’explorer les besoins d’apprentissage et de soutien des infirmières débutantes ayant joué le rôle de préceptrice sur une UCA. Méthodologie. Un devis qualitatif exploratoire a été utilisé pour répondre au but et aux questions de recherche. Cinq infirmières débutantes ayant participé au projet pilote de l’UCA dans un centre hospitalier universitaire d’une métropole dans l’est du Canada en février 2019 ont été recrutées. Les données ont été collectées par des entrevues individuelles semi-structurées et les écrits de Paillé et Mucchielli (2012) ont guidé les étapes d’analyse thématique. Résultats. Les résultats de cette étude ont permis de mettre en lumière le double rôle comme le défi central des infirmières débutantes préceptrices sur l’UCA, c’est-à-dire la coexistence du rôle d’infirmière débutante avec celui de préceptrice, les tensions induites par les difficultés rencontrées dans ce double rôle et les besoins et attentes des préceptrices pour rétablir l’équilibre dans ce double rôle. Conclusion. Une meilleure compréhension des besoins des infirmières débutantes préceptrices sur une UCA pourrait permettre d’offrir des formations sur le rôle attendu d’une préceptrice sur ce type d’unité et d’offrir un soutien adapté aux besoins de ces infirmières afin de les aider à poursuivre leur développement professionnel dans ce rôle. / Context. The limited presence of experienced nurses forces health care settings to seek out junior nurses with little experience to act as preceptors. In an attempt to address the difficulty in recruiting preceptors, the Collaborative Learning Unit (CLU) was implemented in 2003 in British Columbia. The CLU is a model of teaching and learning where a student is assigned to a unit rather than a specific preceptor. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to explore the learning and support needs of novice nurses who have taken on the role of preceptor on an CLU. Methodology. An exploratory qualitative design was used to address the research purpose and questions. Five novice nurses who participated in the CLU pilot at a metropolitan teaching hospital in eastern Canada in February 2019 were recruited. Data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews and the writings of Paillé and Mucchielli (2012) guided the thematic analysis steps. Results. The results of this study highlighted the dual role as the central challenge for novice nurse preceptors on the CLU, that is, the coexistence of the novice nurse role with the preceptor role, the tensions induced by the difficulties encountered in this dual role, and the needs and expectations of preceptors to restore balance in this dual role. Conclusion. A better understanding of the needs of novice nurse preceptors on an CLU could lead to training on the expected role of a preceptor on this type of unit and to support tailored to the needs of these nurses to help them continue their professional development in this role.

Le développement professionnel infirmier (DPI) constitue une condition sine qua non d’une prestation de soins de qualité dans un contexte de vieillissement de la population qui présente des problèmes de santé complexes et d’intensification des soins à domicile (SAD). Des infirmières décrient cependant une inquiétude grandissante quant aux barrières susceptibles de freiner leur DPI ainsi que l’intégration de leurs apprentissages à la pratique. Parmi ces barrières se trouvent notamment une difficulté d’accès à des activités de DPI pertinentes, des contraintes de ressources pour participer aux activités de DPI, un équilibre difficile entre la vie personnelle et professionnelle ainsi qu’un climat organisationnel rigide. Pour relever ces barrières et répondre aux défis de la complexité des soins et des environnements évoluant rapidement, la nécessité d’utiliser des stratégies intégrant l’apprentissage au travail afin de soutenir le développement professionnel des infirmières s’impose. À cet égard, des stratégies d’enseignement-apprentissage actives comme la simulation clinique, des clubs de lecture et des groupes de codéveloppement ont fait l’objet d’études dans un contexte de DPI et d’autres, comme l’apprentissage collaboratif (AC), beaucoup moins. Pourtant, l’AC permettrait de réduire certaines barrières au DPI en tenant compte des caractéristiques contextuelles et individuelles des apprenants. Cette recherche collaborative vise à explorer comment l’AC contribue au DPI d’infirmières de SAD auprès d’aînés présentant des problèmes de santé complexes en répondant à deux questions de recherche qui visent à identifier : (1) les éléments contextuels qui influencent la participation d’infirmières de SAD à des groupes d'AC ainsi que (2) les caractéristiques de l’AC qui contribuent à la réalisation d’apprentissages chez ces mêmes infirmières de SAD. Les résultats témoignent que (1) le rapport au temps, (2) le soutien du gestionnaire ainsi que (3) l’accompagnement des groupes d’AC sont des éléments contextuels qui influencent la participation d’infirmières de SAD à un groupe d’AC ainsi que le processus d’AC qui se veut évolutif, itératif et réflexif. Cette étude a aussi permis d’identifier cinq caractéristiques de l’AC qui contribuent à la réalisation d’apprentissages. L’AC : (1) exige une motivation à apprendre pour améliorer la qualité des soins; (2) conduit à une réflexion sur sa pratique professionnelle pour mieux la comprendre; (3) crée un espace de partage valorisant le développement de relations égalitaires empreintes de respect et d’écoute; (4) oriente vers une recherche collective de solutions pragmatiques aux problèmes rencontrés dans la pratique et (5) suscite un sentiment de réalisation et d’accomplissement de soi. Bien que cette recherche collaborative soit parmi les premières du genre à être réalisée en SAD au Québec, le futur du DPI devrait consister à créer des environnements d’AC en milieu clinique. Pour ce faire, un changement de culture doit s’opérer profondément pour embrasser une perspective plus holistique et scientifique du DPI qui valorise sa pertinence et sa signifiance, notamment par l’AC. / Nursing professional development (NPD) is a sine qua non condition for quality care in a context of aging population with complex health problems and increasing home care (HC). However, nurses describe a growing concern about the barriers that may impede their NPD and the integration of their learning into practice. These barriers include difficulty accessing relevant NPD activities, resource constraints to participate in NPD activities, difficult work-life balance, and inflexible organizational climate. To address these barriers and meet the challenges of complex care and rapidly changing environments, there is a need to use strategies that integrate learning at work to support nurses' professional development. In this regard, active teaching-learning strategies such as clinical simulation, journal clubs and co-development groups have been studied in a NPD context and others, such as collaborative learning (CL), much less so. However, CL could reduce some of the barriers to NPD by considering the contextual and individual characteristics of learners. This collaborative research aims to explore how CL contributes to the NPD of HC nurses working with seniors with complex health problems by answering two research questions that aim to identify: (1) the contextual elements that influence the participation of HC nurses in CL groups as well as (2) the characteristics of CL that contribute to the achievement of learning in these same HC nurses. The results show that (1) the relationship to time, (2) the manager's support and (3) the support provided for CL groups are contextual elements that influence the participation of HC nurses in a CL group as well as the evolutionary, iterative and reflective CL process. This study also identified five characteristics of CL that contribute to learning. CL: (1) requires motivation to learn in order to improve the quality of care; (2) leads to reflection on one's professional practice in order to better understand it; (3) creates a space for sharing that values the development of egalitarian relationships marked by respect and listening; (4) leads to a collective search for pragmatic solutions to the problems encountered in practice; and (5) creates a sense of accomplishment and self-fulfillment. While this collaborative research is among the first of its kind to be conducted in HC in Quebec, the future of NPD should be in creating CL environments in clinical settings. To do so, a profound cultural shift must occur to embrace a more holistic and scientific perspective of NPD that values its relevance and meaning, particularly through CL.

From point 1 Introduction: The higher education institutions (HEI) in Ukraine have experienced signifcant repercussions from the ongoing full-scale war, resulting in substantial damage of approximately 147 and displacement of 43 universities (INEE, 2022). This further compounded the pre-existing issues, including rigidity, limited autonomy, corruption, and inadequate digitalization (Osipian, 2017; Sokol & Melko, 2022). Consequently, universities in safer areas have transitioned to remote education methods. However, the mere transfer of education into the digital realm leaves opportunities untapped, as this pedagogical shift presents a unique opportunity to implement collaborative and international modern teaching methods. Virtual Collaborative Learning (VCL) with qualifed E-Tutors as learning facilitators emerges as a potential solution. Within the Ukraine Digital project framework, the authors‘ chair provided the necessary qualifcations in the last quarter of 2022, enabling 17 Ukrainian educators from the West Ukrainian National University to undergo a three-month E-Tutor Qualifcation (ETQ) program (INEE, 2022).

This study reports on the use of action research methodology to generate a critical reflective collaborative setting. The aim was to infuse the institution with the results of this study in order to stimulate debate on the issues regarding change in practice and systems. The suitability of Internet communication technologies, more specifically the online learning community, is evaluated as a delivery mode that would address today’s learning needs. This required the collaborative construction of knowledge in a community setting with the teacher enabling communication and interaction, and facilitating and stimulating the sharing and testing of ideas and constructs. But such a learning scenario was found to be significantly challenging to the current print-based learning experience. It implied a challenge to teaching and support staff as well as the questioning of the efficiency and legitimacy of current instructional design staff and procedures used. The teaching responsibilities and commitment in the online community was outlined as against current print-based teaching practice. The current development and production culture, which restricts innovation and change in practice and systems significantly, came under pressure. The success of the online learning community in the Unisa context was nevertheless significant and it has the potential to serve as an opportunity to re-examine print-based production and delivery and to devise strategies and solutions to increase the quality significantly. / Faculty of Education / D.

Extant literature indicates that web-based blended learning will become the most accepted mode of delivery in the near future as an alternative to traditional face-to-face instruction particularly in the higher education landscape due to its potential to provide increased access to education for more people, increased student engagement with the tutor, rich learning resources, peers, and external experts, and flexibility beyond the limits of classrooms without compromising quality. The study focused on developing a web-based blended learning model that could help reap the benefits of blended learning at the University of Botswana (UB). With this in mind, the research question, "How can a web-based blended learning environment be designed, developed and implemented at the University of Botswana?" was formulated. In order to address the research question, a six-dimensional model called LAPTEL was developed. The six dimentions are: Digital Leadership, Equitable Access, Active Participation, Authentic Tasks, Intellectual Engagement and Learning (LAPTEL); the first five dimentions are requisites to enable studnets to progress towards successful learning which is the sixth dimension. The LAPTEL model depicts guidelines on how to ensure equitable access for students to learning contexts, motivate and enable them to participate in meaningful educational processes, design and develop effective online as well as classroom learning materials (tasks), and engage students in active 'communityes of practice' in order to help them construct their own knowledge (learning) collaboratively under proper leadership. The Researcher considers it essential to have a complex interplay between the three components - active participation, authentic tasks and intellectual engagement to facilitate active, non-linear learning, and it will be catered for in the design, development and delivery of courses based on the LAPTEL model. The fact that these three dimensions have got features of both face-to-face and onlilne learning, integrated seamlessly, makes the LAPTEL a Web-based learning model. The overall aim was to develop a model of curriculum (re)design based on the student-centred pedagogical approaches that combine synergistically the effectiveness of traditional classroomwith technologically enhanced socialization and active learning oppotunities of the online environment in order to support student learning more effectively than what is possible in a typical lecture room. In a case study to evaluate the effectiveness of the LAPTEL model in the context of UB, the Researcher found that it could provide students with opportunity for increased interactive engagement (more than that is normally possible in 'face-to-face-only' or 'online-only' environments), flexibility and cognitive scaffolding that enhanced their learning experience. The Researcher concludes that the LAPTEL model fits well in the UB context, and it may be adopted by other institutions working under similar contexts. / Teacher Education / D. Ed. (Didactics)
