M.Cur. / Over the years the field and scope of the Registered Tutor in South Africa has become more comprehensive. The nurse tutor's activities have extended from just the preparation of school leavers who entered professional training to the formal education of nurses at all levels of basic, post-basic and post-graduate nursing programmes and informal education, to highly experienced professional nurses in in-service and informal continuing education programmes. The nurse tutor's educational duties cover both the classroom and the various fields of nursing practice. She is therefore concerned with the educative process at a variety of levels. In the clinical teaching situation she might have to participate in health education activities for patients, clients and relatives and educate future and newly qualified nurse practitioners to fulfil their role as health educators, as well as instructors of students, pupils and assistant nurses. To some extent she also participates in the education of other health service personnel either at formal or at clinical instruction level. Since 1986 the nurse tutor's scope has further extended with the institution of the comprehensive four-year course. Her administrative functions namely planning, organisation, accompaniment and evaluation contributes to her main function teaching. The new course provides for the opportunity to use a variety of teaching methods besides the traditional lecture method. Also, she participates in curriculum building as well as the planning of her own syllabus. She now also has a greater input in the clinical field by guiding the students.

Objective: Analyze the continuous professional development of professors of the medicine course of Centro Universitário de Votuporanga (UNIFEV); identify potentialities and difficulties in the continuous professional development of professors of the medicine course of UNIFEV; verify the applicability of such development in the teaching process and propose improvements in the continuous professional development of professors of the medicine course of UNIFEV. Methodology: Descriptive quantitative research with nine doctors who are professors that participated in the teaching training program of UNIFEV using guiding questions and reports obtained in the focus group. The reports were analyzed by means of the content analysis methodology. Results: Time constraints, the lack of previous scheduling, recognition and motivation, as well as the absence of a minimum require attendance were some of the aspects identified as obstacles for the participation in continuous professional development. The facilitating aspects were: the use of new methodologies, the exchange of experiences, the opportunity and need of learning among others. The applicability was in the field of the different active methodology techniques and of the evaluation of the teaching-learning process. The contributions for the improvement of continuous professional development were related to scheduling and feedback of its applicability. Conclusion: The continuous pedagogical development for professors has contributed to the medicine course. Based on the results, we suggest changing schedules according to doctor’s availability, incorporating hybrid teaching and addressing specific themes according to professors’ needs / Introdução: A necessidade da capacitação docente do médico, associada ao desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências desses profissionais frente às novas diretrizes curriculares e à crescente abertura de novos Cursos de Medicina, tornou imprescindível a implantação da Capacitação Permanente nas Universidades. Objetivo: Analisar o processo de capacitação permanente dos docentes do Curso de Medicina do Centro Universitário de Votuporanga (UNIFEV); identificar potencialidades e dificuldades no processo de capacitação permanente dos docentes do curso de Medicina da UNIFEV; verificar a aplicabilidade na prática docente e propor melhorias na capacitação permanente dos docentes do curso de Medicina da UNIFEV. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa descritiva realizada com nove docentes médicos que participam do programa de capacitação docente da UNIFEV utilizando-se perguntas norteadoras e relatos colhidos através de grupo focal. Os relatos foram analisados pelo método análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Dentre as várias categorias identificadas, a indisponibilidade de tempo, falta de agendamento prévio, ausência de reconhecimento e motivação e falta de cobrança por assiduidade foram alguns dos aspectos apontados como dificultadores da participação nas capacitações. Os aspectos facilitadores foram os seguintes: o uso de novas metodologias, a troca de experiências, oportunidade e necessidade de aprender, dentre outros. A aplicabilidade mostrou-se no domínio das diferentes práticas de metodologias ativas e de avaliação do processo ensino-aprendizagem. As contribuições para o aprimoramento da capacitação foram em relação a agendamentos e devolutiva da sua aplicabilidade. Conclusão: A capacitação pedagógica continuada para os docentes tem contribuído para o curso de medicina. Diante dos resultados, sugere-se que se realizem mudanças na acessibilidade em relação a horários, incorporação da estratégia de ensino híbrido e direcionamento de temas específicos para as necessidades dos docentes

However, few studies and case reports have been published. Progressively during the physician’s professional career, there is possibility of improving his scientific knowledge in a specific field and at a given moment, he is faced with the possibility of becoming a professor, often without adequate pedagogical knowledge to develop such a function, which consequently impacts the quality of the learning process. Objective: To analyze the transition from community physician to a Medical School professor in a university located at northwest of Sao Paulo, as well as assessing the physician’s perceptions and feelings related to the implementation of the course with active methodologies and whether there is a difference between the curricular units. After approval of the Research Ethics Committee, two different samples of medical professors were obtained from two different curricular units from the medical school: Training of Medical Abilities and Attitudes (THAM) and Tutorial Module (MT). Qualitative data was obtained in two different moments and the groups answered a total of four questions. The analysis of the data content was based on Bardin (2011). Conclusion: The perception of how different these performance spaces are was unanimous. They feel able to the professional activity and unable to teaching. The short time for teaching activity caused fear, anguish, anxiety and insecurity, exacerbated by the lack of preparing for that. The skills and learning acquired during the accomplishment of the Professional Masters in Education made the construction of the pedagogical process easier. The teaching activity impacted the life of the medical professional since the moment that it provoked the reflection and changes of behavior in their professional practice / Introdução: A complexidade de tornar-se médico docente em Curso de Graduação em Medicina tem sido motivo de preocupação nas últimas décadas entre profissionais da área. Entretanto, poucos estudos e alguns relatos de experiência têm sido publicados. No decorrer de sua carreira profissional, o médico progressivamente tem a possibilidade de aprimorar seus conhecimentos científicos na sua área de atuação e em determinado momento, deparar-se com a possibilidade de tornar-se docente, muitas vezes sem condições pedagógicas suficientes para desenvolver tal função e, consequentemente, trazer implicações na qualidade que envolve o processo de ensino aprendizagem. Objetivo: Esta pesquisa visa analisar o processo de transição de médico a docente em um centro universitário do noroeste paulista, bem como analisar as percepções e os sentimentos dos docentes a respeito da implantação do curso com metodologias ativas e se há diferença entre as unidades curriculares. A amostra de conveniência foi constituída por docentes médicos de duas unidades curriculares distintas do curso de Medicina: Treinamento de Habilidades e Atitudes Médicas (THAM) e Módulo Tutorial (MT) após aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Utilizou-se a técnica de grupos focais em dois momentos para obtenção dos dados qualitativos. Os grupos responderam a quatro perguntas. A análise dos conteúdos dos dados fundamentou-se em Bardin (2011). Conclusão: Foi unânime a percepção do quão distintos são estes espaços de atuação. Sentem-se preparados para a atividade profissional e despreparados para a docência. O tempo reduzido na docência trouxe sentimentos de medo, angústia, ansiedade e insegurança, exacerbados pela falta de preparo para a docência. As capacitações e o aprendizado adquirido durante a realização do Mestrado Profissional em Educação foram facilitadores no processo de construção pedagógica. A docência trouxe impacto na vida do profissional médico a partir do momento que provocou, nestes docentes, reflexão e mudanças de comportamento na sua prática profissional

This study examined allied health and nursing career and technical education (CTE) teacher beliefs and attitudes about reading. Since beliefs and attitudes influence the way teachers teach, it is important to understand what those beliefs and attitudes are, especially in relationship to reading in subject matter classrooms. One hundred twelve individuals responded to a written survey concerning their attitudes and beliefs about reading. A four-factor solution was achieved with a principal components factor analysis. A significant number of variables were associated with the factor labeled Reading Apathy, which appears to be indicative of the condition known as aliteracy among faculty who participated in the study. Professional development activities grounded in novice-to-expert theory are suggested as a way of overcoming the phenomenon. Recommendations for future research involve a more detailed study to further characterize the condition of aliteracy and its impact on student learning.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The anatomical sciences are experiencing a notable decrease in the time and resources devoted to embryology in North American medical education. With more changes assured, it is necessary to investigate the current trends in curriculum, pedagogy, and related experiences of embryology teachers and learners. To address these concerns, the researcher developed two online mixed methods surveys: one for current anatomy and embryology faculty and another for first year medical students. The faculty survey was followed by interviews with volunteers from that cohort. The researcher used a grounded theory methodology to analyze the qualitative components of the surveys, and descriptive statistics to analyze the quantitative components of the surveys. Both the faculty and student surveys illuminated the vast differences between the explicit, implicit, and null curricular components found in the numerous medical education programs represented. A combined grounded theory methodology and phenomenological approach was used to analyze the interviews with faculty. This generated a lived experience narrative of the phenomenon of teaching embryological content to medical students in the modern world, which led to a better understanding of the needs and challenges that face this subject matter and those who teach it. In this fluid era of medical education reform and integration, the perceptions and experiences of anatomy and embryology faculty and first year medical students are invaluable to assessing the curriculum and pedagogy of this foundational anatomical science and formulating evidence-based recommendations for the future.
