Mexico Este artículo analiza las implicaciones en la docencia y la investigación
derivadas del retiro por jubilación de los académicos en dos universida-
des públicas mexicanas, la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM)
y la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo (UACh), en el contexto de la regu-
lación del trabajo académico vigente. La investigación se realiza desde el
estudio de dos casos analizados bajo el método comparado, con base en
una metodología mixta. El trabajo concluye que, en general, las universi-
dades no han diseñado una estrategia institucional para planear la salida
de los académicos que se retiran por jubilación y la entrada de quienes
habrán de sustituirlos. Se asume que este proceso ocurre de forma
natural y afecta de manera diferenciada a la docencia y a la
investigación, según sea el perfil que las instituciones hayan construido
históricamente.

colombia A methodological guide is proposed to determine pedagogical practices

of teachers in higher education institutions (HEI), through brainstorming
and Régnier's abacus. The research is quantitative of nonexperimental
transectional design. The sample consisted of 46 teachers from the
Business Administration program of the University of Cartagena. The
results identified and compared approximately 300 pedagogical practices
to propose 7, evaluated as the most frequently used in teaching
processes. © 2017.

Chile This paper discusses the teaching practices and beliefs of university
teachers in the city of Temuco in Chile. To that effect, twelve university
teachers working with fourth and fifth-level students in a health degree
were asked open-ended questions. Data analysis followed the principles
of grounded theory (GT) methodology. Open coding was used for the
analysis, which produced the category "Teaching practices and beliefs"
and four sub-categories: 1) educational planning, 2) teaching
methodology, 3) an epistemological model of teaching, and 4) the micro-
curriculum. The results of the study show that, as part of their teaching
beliefs, teachers place value on practices that make it easier for students
to participate and be active in class, but which are also inflexible and
restricted by aspects such as planning and previously established
programs. Consequently, they need to examine the basis of their beliefs
and pedagogical knowledge more thoroughly to inject new meaning into
their work in the classroom, thus improving education at this level.
Colombia Introduction: Studying the academic and scientific contributions from
the San Juan de Dios Hospital Complex (CHSJD by its acronym in Spanish)
—which include the San Juan de Dios Hospital, Instituto Materno Infantil
and Instituto de Inmunología— during the twentieth century is an
important conceptual basis for promoting the development of university
hospitals in the country and the continent. Objective: To expose the
contributions from the CHSJD to different fields of medicine, the
development of medical education and the construction of the school of
Medicine. Materials and methods: A qualitative descriptive analysis was
carried out, focusing on the main milestones reached by the CHSJD in
the period between 1866 and the suspension of its activities. Key
informants were interviewed, and an online survey and a documentary
review were performed. Results: Thanks to its association with the
faculties of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, the San Juan de Dios
Hospital was a pioneering university hospital in Colombia. Its multiple
contributions in different disciplines are still in force and, despite its
closing, it is still recognized as one of the largest sources of scientific
knowledge in the country. Conclusion: It is essential for the development
of university hospitals that the scientific-teaching staff takes on the
challenge of implementing and developing innovations aimed at solving
health challenges. © 2018, Universidad Nacional de Colombia. All rights

Introduction: Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have
modified the way knowledge is transmitted and assimilated. In medical
education, they are considered fundamental for the optimization of the
teaching-learning process, to favor the appropriation and integration of
knowledge, and to support classroom activities. An effective application
of these tools requires the identification of the most difficult topics for
students, allowing to precisely address their use for the solution of
learning problems. Methods: The Biochemistry topic with more
difficulties was identified and a virtual tool was designed with animated
slides, drawings and graphs that would address it. Students received
conceptual guidance that they prepared and discussed with the
professor. Later on, they accessed the tool to reinforce homework. The
efficacy of the tool was evaluated on comparing the results of the
evaluations before and after applying it and evaluated the students’
attitude towards their use. Results: The global difficulty index identified
the metabolism of nitrogen compounds as a critical issue. The
implementation of the tool increased the success in the intra- and inter-
semester quizzes. The students’ attitude towards the use of the tool was
favorable, they considered it useful to reinforce their knowledge and to
improve their academic training. Conclusion: The use of the information
and communication technologies in higher education favors the process
of self-learning and raises the need for a greater integration or
structured and adapted implementation of this type of tools to the
students’ environment. © 2017, Editorial Ciencias Medicas. All rights

Instituto Tecnológico Learning through mobile devices (mobile learning) has been positioning
Metropolitano, Medellín, Colombia as an alternative to mitigate the difficulties of coverage, mobility,
accessibility and interactivity in the teaching and learning process in
university students. However, there are still limited studies about factors
of adoption, appropriation and distribution of mobile learning, to help to
understand the diffusion process of virtual learning tools in students. On
this research, our goal is to examine the factors that influence the
intention to use virtual learning tools by university students. The
proposed methodology is based on the construction of an agent-based
model developed on NetLogo to simulate the process of heterogeneous
adoption through individual behaviors and interactions. The results have
been validated in depth interviews with 15 teachers with experience in
mobile learning, and it observed that the developed model (called
AMOL) explains the behavior of the intended use of m-learning in
institutions of higher education. As results, it showed that encourage the
experience of using virtual learning tools for elementary and high school
education is the best strategy to provide university students a greater
adoption of mobile devices for learning purposes. © 2003-2012 IEEE.

The present article synthesizes the results of the investigation named
Diagnostic and proposal for the effective design of the learning
evaluation instruments based on the competences in the Autonomous
University of Bucaramanga. It intends to analyze the techniques and
instruments of the learning evaluation in the face-to-face undergraduate
courses in the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga (Santander,
Colombia), based on their institutional approach. The investigation has a
mix methodology, combining the qualitative aspect (focus group) with
the quantitative one (questionings to both teachers and students). The
results of the research are given based on the types, ends and
competences that assess the perceptions and expectations of the
docents, contrasted with those of the learners. From these inferences,
some reflections on the strategies of evaluation of the learning within
the framework of the educational relations of teaching and learning,
own of the academic dynamics of the Institution are exposed.

Background: University teachers prioritize acquiring knowledge about
their disciplines over pedagogic training. However, the latter is becoming
increasingly important in the present teaching scenario. Aim: To relate
pedagogic practices with pedagogic training of teachers from health care
careers of public and private universities. Material and Methods:
Pedagogic practice and training activities participation questionnaires
were answered by 296 teachers of undergraduate students from Chilean
public and private universities. Results: There was a direct correlation
between discipline training and all pedagogic practice factors. However,
pedagogic training correlated with all the factors with the exception of
teacher centered learning. Teachers with a master degree had higher
scores in factors related to teaching planning and process assessment.
Having a doctor degree had no impact on these factors. A multiple
regression analysis showed that both discipline and pedagogic training
and having a master degree were associated with pedagogic practices of
teachers. Conclusions: Both pedagogic and discipline training influence
the quality of teaching provided by undergraduate teachers. © 2017,

develop autonomous, lifelong learning habits. Therefore, teachers
should focus on learning strategies which stimulate autonomous
learning. Aim: To assess the impact of a self-directed teaching
methodology on the academic performance of medical students in
cellular biology and biochemistry. Materials and Methods: During 2013,
85 students received a traditional teaching methodology and during
2014, 85 students received a self-directed learning methodology. The
grades obtained and the number of failures in the courses of cellular
biology and biochemistry were compared in both groups. Results: The
percentages of students approved at the end of the courses during 2013
and 2014 were 64 and 96% respectively (p < 0.01). The grades obtained
by the 2014 students were also significantly higher than those obtained
by 2013 students. Conclusions: This study confirms that academic
performance improves with a self-directed teaching approach. © 2017,

Research is important during university education. The objective was to
describe the teaching of an exercise in clinical research and its
perception by students. Medical students conducted a research work in
groups coordinated by a tutor. We evaluated the importance the
students gave to research learning and we assessed the satisfaction of
having participated in the activity in a scale from 1 to 10. Eighty-one
students developed 14 research exercises, 44.4% reported having
received training in research methodology before and 11.1% had
participated in some research study. They assigned a score of 8 out of 10
to the importance of research and 9 out of 10 to the satisfaction of
having participated in the activity. The aspects of the exercise in clinical
research perceived as positive were that it favoured teamwork and
helped students to understand how to conduct a research study.
In the framework of the Performance Agreement UCO2013, between the
Ministry of Education and the University of Concepción (Chile), named
"UdeC Teachers: Protagonists of change in the society of knowledge", a
study has been carried out to determine the needs for improvement and
requirements for the continuous formation of technical high-school
teachers from four provinces of the Bio-Bio region in Chile: Concepción,
Arauco, Biobío and Ñuble. The research type was exploratory, applying a
quantitative methodology with a questionnaire survey design. The
studied universe covered 116 educational centers and 3.623 teachers of
all four provinces of the Bio-Bio region. The random sample was made
up of 80% of the already mentioned educational centers, whose teaching
staff constituted a homogeneous group with similar professional
interests and motivations. Of outstanding relevance among these
common interests is the need for continuing education programs in the
areas of teacher training management and internship.

The article reports the results of study done to analyze the dynamics of
the universities of Barranquilla, Colombia, around the strategies of
integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and of
Innovation in university teaching. The study was carried out under a
quantitative approach, using a descriptive-explanatory-analytical design,
through the survey technique. A questionnaire including four categories
of analysis was applied. The results show that 71% of the institutions
studied do not have refresher courses for teachers to train on ICT on a
continuous basis. It is also found that 64% of the institutions studied do
not design methodologies for teaching and learning mediated by ICT
with participation of teachers. It is concluded that higher education
institutions of Barranquilla require strategies of integration and
articulation of innovative technologies that strengthen didactics in their
teaching processes.
Objective: To review the conceptual, theoretical and empirical trends on
the strengthening Teaching-Service Partnerships for the progress of
nursing in Colombia. Method: Systematic review of literature. Results:
The bibliographic tracking was performed between 2013 and 2015,
under the descriptors Nursing, Advanced Practice and Education or
Teaching. The search resulted in 23 articles, which were fully analyzed.
Conclusions: There is a predominance of conceptual and theoretical
analysis of nursing practice approaches. In order to strengthen the Policy
of Teaching-Service Partnerships it is recommended to work by
competencies, to improve the relationship with the patient, and to
approach the Health system fully. To have the highest nursing education
in the clinic, means to qualify nursing and to approach new challenges
and demands of autonomy. Strengthening Teaching-Service Partnerships
is necessary for the qualification of nursing practice in Colombia.

Background: There are differences in the educational context in Health
Sciences, between clinical and non-clinical teachers. Therefore, the
didactic and reflexive peculiarities of both educational scenarios should
be analyzed. Aim: To describe the conditions of the educational context
in Health Sciences for the practice of the teaching role in a Chilean
university. Material and Methods: Qualitative study, performed
according to Grounded Theory of Strauss and Corbin. Thirty one teachers
from six health sciences programs were selected according to Patton’s
maximum variation criterion and contacted personally, after an informed
consent process. Semi-structured interviews and focus group were
performed, analyzed by open coding, using the constant comparison
method, with the Atlas-ti 7.5.2 software. Results: Six conditions of the
educational context that can support the teaching role in these careers
emerged. Namely, a clinical field suited for patient attention and
teaching, classrooms designed for the new educational models, number
of students in the classrooms and clinical settings, insertion programs for
teachers’ training, teachers’ coordination and economic resources of the
program. Conclusions: Health Sciences programs are developed in a
complex educational context, having to articulate diverse elements to
train professionals. Therefore, it is fundamental to understand the
conditions of the educational context that can favor the practice of the
teaching role, thus generating improvements in teaching-learning
process. © 2017, Sociedad Medica de Santiago. All rights reserved.

Background: Appropriate sedation is crucial for a successful
gastrointestinal endoscopy procedure (GEP); however, this is associated
with adverse events, therefore adequate capacitation in this subject is
mandatory. Simulation is an excellent teaching tool but its use in the
this study was to assess the impact of a simulation course on sedation
the endoscopists' sedation performance for GEP was developed. This
checklist was used to assess the sedations' quality before and after a
high fidelity sedation simulation course for GEP. Differences before/after
the intervention was calculated using the McNemar's test. A p ≤ 0,05 was
considered significant. Results: All participants were assessed 15 times
pre and post intervention. After the simulation, there was a significant
improvement in patients' airway assessment, in the level of awareness
about patients' condition during the procedure and in the monitoring
after the procedure. All participants considered simulation should be
compulsory before obtaining a license to sedate patients. Conclusions:
The implementation of a sedation course based on simulation cases
directed to endoscopists improved patient safety and sedations' quality
during the procedure. Simulation should be considered as a valid
teaching tool, which is an enormous challenge to the anaesthesiologists.

Introduction: Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) refers to specialized
knowledge resulting from the practice and experience of the teacher in
the classroom. It is necessary to make progress in the understanding of
the pedagogical knowledge of the university professor who teaches
human physiology. Objective: To explore the types of contents,
knowledge of the students, teaching strategies and representations,
assessment and pedagogical guidelines used by university professors
who teach physiology of the respiratory system. Materials and methods:
Multiple case study conducted in four physiology professors of a medical
program. A self-directed content representation questionnaire was
applied, physiology classes related to the respiratory system were
videotaped, and a record of evidence protocol for PCK was used. Results:
The population consisted of four subjects: two expert and two novice
professors. The way in which they understood the learning processes of
the students, the knowledge they have about the strategies and
representations they use and about the different approaches to evaluate
learning were characterized. Each professor showed a different vision
and teaching purpose. Conclusions: Studying PCK components is
necessary to make visible the pedagogy and didactics used by professors
who teach human physiology. © 2017, Universidad Nacional de

experienced by five teachers and five academic coordinators of remote
education programs in higher education. It was conducted taking a
qualitative approach, by means of the ethnographic method, applying
semi-structured interviews, observation of some systems of
management of learning, and applying questionnaires to students. We
observed a professor who adapts to the context of the information and
knowledge society, who is changing his teaching and learning
methodology, who is learning to use web-based resources. His practice
in remote education has helped him develop skills such as autonomy,
self- reliance, and administration of time; he has begun to design digital
content for online accompaniment; formulate other techniques for
monitoring and evaluation; work collaboratively, and promote the use of
ICT among students. © 2016, Instituto de Investigaciones sobre la

Background: Medical Education, according to the constructivist
education paradigm, puts students as the protagonists of the teaching
and learning process. It demands changes in the practice of teaching.
However, it is unclear whether this new model is coherent with the
teachers’ ways to cope with learning. Aim: To analyze the relationship
between teaching practices and learning strategies among teachers of
health careers in Chilean universities. Material and Methods: The
Teaching Practices Questionnaire and Learning Strategies Inventory of
Schmeck were applied to 200 teachers aged 24 to 72 years (64%
females). Results: Teachers use different types of teaching practices.
They commonly use deep and elaborative learning strategies. A multiple
regression analysis showed that learning strategies had a 13% predictive
value to identify student-centered teaching, but they failed to predict
teacher-centered teaching. Conclusions: Teaching practices and learning
strategies of teachers are related. Teachers frequently select
constructivist model strategies, using different teaching practices in their
work. © 2016, Sociedad Medica de Santiago. All rights reserved.

Objective To determine empathy levels and its relationship with
sociodemographic, academic and family factors in nursing students.
Method Cross-sectional study, 196 nursing students were randomly
selected at the University of Cartagena, Colombia. A questionnaire that
asked about sociodemographic, family and academic factors and the
Scale of Physician Empathy Jefferson-version S were applied. Shapiro-
Wilk test was used to assess the normality assumption. t Student,
ANOVA, Pearson test and simple linear regression were used to establish
the relationship (p &lt; 0.05). Results The global empathy score was
108.6 ± 14.6; statistically significant associations between global
empathy with the training year (p = 0.004) and grade point average
(R2 = 0.058; p = 0.001; r = 0.240) were found. Moreover, the
“perspective taking” dimension with provenance (rural/urban)
(p = 0.010) and family functioning (p = 0.003); the “compassionate care”
dimension with the training year (p = 0.002) and the “putting themselves
in the place of the patient” dimension with academic performance
(p = 0.034). Conclusion The empathy levels in nursing students may vary
depending on various personal and academic factors,these
characteristics should be taken into account for implementing teaching
strategies to promote higher empathy levels since the early training
years. © 2016 Elsevier España, S.L.U.
Background: Teaching practice is one of the most complex topics of the
training process in medicine and other health care careers. The Teaching
Practices Questionnaire (TPQ) evaluates teaching skills. Aim: To assess
the factor structure and internal consistency of the Spanish version of
the TPP among health care teachers. Material and Methods: The TPQ
was answered by 315 university teachers from 13 of the 15
administrative Chilean regions, who were selected through a non-
probabilistic volunteer sampling. The internal consistency of TPP factors
was calculated and the correlation between them was analyzed. Results:
Six factors were identified: Student-centered teaching, Teaching
planning, Assessment process, Dialogue relationship, Teacher- centered
teaching and Use of technological resources. They had Cronbach alphas
ranging from 0.60 to 0.85. Conclusions: The factorial structure of TPQ
differentiates the most important functions of teaching. It also shows a
theoretical consistency and a practical relevance to perform a diagnosis
and continuous evaluation of teaching practices. Additionally, it has an
adequate internal consistency. Thus, TPQ is valid and reliable to evaluate
pedagogical practices in health care careers. © 2016, Sociedad Medica

The clinical teacher of nursing is an essential part in the educational
process of nursing students. The objective of this study was to describe
South of Chile. Materials and methods: This is a qualitative, descriptive
study, based on principles from the constructivist theory. The study's
population consisted of 22 nurses. Semi-structured interviews were
applied. Results: It was found that the experience of the clinical teaching
role is assumed as a process whose core idea is professional
responsibility. The findings reaffirm positive feelings such as the
reinforcement of self-concept and the idea of transcendence through
others. Furthermore, frustration appears as a negative feeling and the
undervaluing of teaching as an obstructive component in the process.
Finally, lack of time is also mentioned as an obstacle, for that reason it is
necessary to consider assigning time for teaching as part of their usual
activities in order to improve the quality of clinical teaching. Conclusion:
the evaluation of the clinical teaching role is mainly linked to recognition,
assignment of time and space for appropriate and quality teaching. This
teacher's role is critical in praxis coming from clinical experiences,
especially in the final period of training; therefore, understanding the
universe of experiences of nurses in training process should be a
permanent concern of educational institutions, in order to develop
strategies to improve the different teaching-learning scenarios and the
quality of higher education in these matters. © 2016, Universidad de

Introduction Simulation has been used as a learning tool in different
disciplines and professions, including medicine and its specialties. Its
usefulness is directly related to the integration of objectives, contents,
methodologies and specific resources in each area of knowledge.
Objective To describe the development of an educational experience
implemented in the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali (Cali, Colombia)
with medical students of Human Behavior II program, between 2012 and
2013. This experience was performed with simulated patients played by
actors of the Altergesto theater group, that were interviewed by
students under the supervision of psychiatrists and teachers of the
subject, using the Simulated Hospital of the University. Methods A
historical development recall of the teaching sequence was made from
the first half of 2012 to the second half of 2013, a statement of
pedagogical objectives, and a description of the teaching-learning
strategies. Results 158 interviews were conducted over a period of two
years during which it was necessary to raise methodological solutions to
adapt this teaching sequence to the content and objectives of the
subject. Conclusions The high-fidelity simulation, integrating actors who
represent psychiatric patients mixed with the technology of a Simulated
Hospital was useful to achieve compliance with the objectives proposed
in the course of Human Behavior II, as a part of the program of Medicine
at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali. In parallel, the construction
of experience as an interdisciplinary project and the practical approach
of this strategy may impact on cognitive, emotional, behavioral
dimensions of the participants, encouraging meaningful learning. An
easy access database for the collected material and the study of the
effects of this strategy in the formation of long-term students is needed.

Objective: To identify nursing students' learning styles profiles and
statistically relate them to their academic performance in two courses in
the first year of Nursing. Method: Honey-Alonso Learning Styles
Questionnaire (CHAEA) was applied. It was available to 193 students who
responded it on an electronic spreadsheet and sent it via e-mail,
according to established ethic rules. Comparative analyses, scores of
learning styles and grades of evaluations of each course were carried out
using the Infostat program. Two successive cohorts (2009-2010) were
analysed. Results: Most of the students present 3 or more learning styles
with moderate to higher than moderate scores, who showed test results
with grades that were average or higher each year. Conclusion: It is
suggested that in order to get better academic performance, teachers
must know the students' learning styles and design pedagogical tools to
promote the different learning styles so students can become aware of
their own style. © 2016, Universidad de Concepcion. All rights reserved.

This paper proposed the application of data mining to identify the
psychosocial risk level in teaching elementary, middle y high school
education in Colombia. A sample of 1100 data records corresponding to
individual assessments were analyzed and processed. The samples were
used as input data to the data mining tool called WEKA. Results were
compared to assess the performance when applying data mining
techniques and classification trees J48 and Naive Bayes. Finally, the
application of this predictive tool allows the accuracy 91% compared to
the clinic diagnostic. It is concluded that the method can be used tool for
preventing the occurrence of psychosocial risk factors in Colombian
public school teachers.
The production of new knowledge is one of the cardinal functions of any
complex university, or any university that wants to be complex;
therefore, these educational institutions should be able to develop
strategies to contribute to this complexity. Considering this brief
contextual preamble, this work is intended primarily as exposing the first
progresses about the experience on managing research centers in
university teaching and its effect in the creation of new knowledge, in an
university of the State of Chile. Methodologically speaking, it is about a
case of study that includes both quantitative and qualitative evidence,
which has been oriented to understand the dynamics that have occurred
in the implementation of this strategy, aimed at generating new
knowledge, feasible to be published in refereed academic journals. In its
first version in 2014, this initiative covered a total of thirty-one people
summoned and, for its version from 2015 to 2016, the activity has
expanded its coverage to more than ninety participants and generated
38 new documents. © 2016, Revista Venezolana de Gerencia. All rights

In this research, the geospatial position of the main university sector of
the city of Manizales and its relation with the operational characteristics
of the transport network and the strata of users (students and teachers)
is analyzed. The applied methodology is based on four stages with the
target of knowing the integral average accessibility offered by the
transport network to the university community, through a geostatistical
model. The study showed that students who live in neighborhoods of
lower strata have to invest more time to go to the University. The results
obtained with students and teachers who live in neighborhoods with
high stratum situation is the opposite, consuming less travel time. The
results show the spatial inequality which is reflected in high travel times,
and the lack of real possibilities to arrive in the university sector. It is
concluded that it is necessary to expand the variety of transport and to
improve the quality of transport modes that come to this sector from the
residence of students and teachers.
Objective: to cross-culturally adapt and validate the Nursing Student
Satisfaction Scale (NSSS) for use with nursing students in the Brazilian
context. Method: this was a quantitative exploratory and descriptive
study using a cross-sectional design conducted with 123 undergraduate
nursing students studying at a public university in the south of Brazil. The
cross-cultural adaptation was performed according to international
guidelines. Validation for use in a Brazilian context was performed using
factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha. Results: based on the expert
committee assessment and pre-test, face and content validity were
considered satisfactory. Factor analysis resulted in three constructs:
curriculum and teaching; professional social interaction, and learning
environment. The internal consistency of the instrument was
satisfactory: the value of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.93 for the
instrument as a whole, and between 0.88 and 0.89 for the constructs.
Conclusion: the Brazilian version of the Nursing Student Satisfaction
Scale was shown to be reliable and validated for the evaluation of
student satisfaction with undergraduate nursing programs, considering
the aspects teaching activities, curriculum, professional social
interaction, and learning environment. © 2016 Revista Latino-Americana

Introduction: The Facultad de Medicina of the Universidad de La Sabana
routinely uses lectures as the major educational strategy in clinical areas.
Since 2012, a curriculum in context and a flipped classroom were
introduced in the surgery course. Objective: To compare the impact of
lectures versus the flipped classroom model in the learning environment
in surgery. Materials and methods: The Dundee Ready Education
Environment Measure (DREEM) questionnaire was administered to four
cohorts of students. The five domains and the overall scores for both
strategies were analyzed, and ANOVA was used to determine the
differences among the domains (p < 0.05). The internal consistency was
assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: There were 207
participants (men: 36%) that completed the questionnaire (age: 21.9 ±
1.49 years old). The overall DREEM score and the subscales were higher
with the flipped classroom, which suggests that this environment had a
higher level of excellence. The ANOVA for each domain and the overall
scores showed no differences with a flipped classroom. However,
significant differences were identified in all domains and the overall
scores with lectures (p < 0.01). There were high levels of reliability
(Cronbach > 0.90) for all measurements in both environments, and there
was consistency across all cohorts. Conclusions: The flipped classroom
strategy showed a higher score than the lecture-based approach
according to the DREEM questionnaire. Identifying factors with a
negative score is crucial to improving the learning environment. It is
necessary to conduct further measurements over time to ensure the
quality and success of the strategy.

Objectives. To describe the experience and results of the implementation
of a faculty development program for professors of Medicine in the
Medical Education Certificate program developed at the School of
Medicine, Pontificia Uniersidad Catolica de Chile. Materials and
methods. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative and
qualitative study. The population consisted of all graduates of the
program until 2011. A questionnaire with open and closed-ended
questions was applied, exploring different levels of impact using the
Kirkpatrick evaluation model. Results. Over 97% expressed a high degree
of satisfaction (Kirkpatrick level 1). Most respondents reported changes
in learning, knowledge and teaching skills (Kirkpatrick Level 2) with
statistically significant differences in retrospective pre-post
questionnaires 93% reported having improved their teaching
performance generally, and 85% in a specific performance (Kirkpatrick
Level 3). At level 4 of the Kirkpatrick evaluation model, most perceived
an increased interest in teaching and 69% reported being valued more
highly at the institutional level. Five categories emerged from the
qualitative analysis: value given to teaching and of training in teaching,
importance of teaching skills, the contribution of teaching to the
professional role, contribution to personal development and
strengthening of the academic community. Conclusions. The effects of
this faculty development program in medical education have been
positive. Professors of Medicine, in addition to improving their teaching
performance, perceived changes in personal development, in their role
as physicians, in the academic community and in the institution. © 2014,

This study analyses the contribution of a problem-situation approach
linked to teaching tools for the teaching of the concepts of ionic bonding
and metallic bonding. Students of chemistry of the Federal Rural
University of Pernambuco in Brazil participated in the study. The
methodology involved: i) developing a problem-situation; ii) a didactic
intervention that made use of theoretical classes, simulations, videos
and hypermedia; and iii) manual preparation of crystal lattices with use
of styrofoam balls and toothpicks. The results showed that the students
were able to identify the electrostatic nature of the chemical bonds,
correctly classified the type of chemical bond and represented the
crystal structures of ionic and metallic compounds, as expected.
However some alternative conceptions were identified. For example, the
association of the strong bond to the ionic compounds compared to
metallic substances.

Chile
Physiology teaching began with Claudius Galenus (c. 126-199 AD), known
as Galen, who is considered the initiator of experimental physiology. This
discipline was consolidated in the XIX century with the discoveries of
Claude Bernard, which influenced the way of teaching this discipline in
universities, independently from Anatomy. In Mexico, physiology
teaching started in 1580. It was at the beginning of the XIX century when
Valentín Gómez Farías created the professorship in Medical Sciences and
Daniel Vergara Lope carried out its consolidation when he implemented
a lab course. Doctor José Joaquín Izquierdo established that this subject
ought to be taught by teachers with experience in research.
Undoubtedly, formative physiology teaching carried out in labs must
strengthen the application of method and scientific methodology in
students. In this symposium, we put forward that the change in
physiology teaching must promote multidisciplinary research in students,
who will formulate a research question and develop an experimental
model that will let them integrate their basic knowledge of physiology,
pharmacology, biochemistry, and functional anatomy under the
supervision of a research teacher. © 2014 Academia Nacional de

is traditional and emphasizes conveying knowledge. Nonetheless, new
abilities must be taught now. This change shifts the prominence from
professor to student and incorporates a concept called self-regulated
learning, which involves the professor as a mediator and incorporates
guidelines that facilitate learning diverse skills. Aim: To compare the
effects of two teaching methodologies on the learning of key scientific
concepts among health science students. Material and Methods: Two
subgroups of equally complex concepts were randomly chosen to be
taught either using traditional or self-regulation methodology. For the
self-regulation methodology, two groups were formed. One learned only
through self-regulation guidelines and the other learned through classes
where the professor was a mediator. One hundred thirty seven freshman
students from medicine, physical therapy, and nursing careers
participated voluntarily in the study. Results: Self-regulation
methodology impacted the learning process of scientific concepts in a
positive way and showed significant differences with traditional teaching.
The sole use of self-regulation guidelines alone generated similar results,
compared to those obtained by students who attended lectures.
Conclusions: Self-regulated learning would improve in learning efficiency
and would reduce face-to-face class time.

Better Adults, Better Kids, was based on local and international evidence
on programs for the prevention of school-based violence. The program
offers a training process for parents and teachers through active
methodologies and advice (provided for 10 months) based on topics that
encourage individual child development and the delegitimization of
violence in everyday interactions. A total of 306 teachers, 800 parents
and 12,800 children benefited from the program. An initial measurement
was conducted using a scale ranging from 0 to 100 in a sample of 1751
children. The results showed an average of 80 in the children's social
skills, but caregivers reported high levels of aggression. Communication
and supervision failures were found among parents, as well as
punishment practices through psychological and physical aggression.
Another finding was low social cohesion in the neighborhood. © 2013

A methodology for detecting learning styles in students using Learning
Management System (LMS) based on Felder and Silverman test is
proposed. To construct the product the methodology for software
development by components was used and the lstest Moodle module
was adapted. The proposed methodology can detect learning styles that
students possess, placing them as active-reflective, visualverbal, sensory-
intuitive and comprehensive-sequencing according to Felder and
Silverman. As a case study, the methodology was tested by a group of
freshmen students of the Systems Engineering program of the University
of Cartagena in Colombia. With the use of this tool the instructor can
apply learning strategies allowing the construction of resources and
materials adapted to the student.

Objective. To compare empathic orientation among medical students
from three schools of medicine in Colombia and one in the Dominican
Republic. Material and Methods. Empathic orientation of medical
students was measured using the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy
(JSPE), Spanish version for students (the "S" version) validated in Mexico
and Chile, and culturally adapted to Colombia and the Dominican
Republic. Data were compared using a three-factor analysis of variance
(model III) and a discriminant analysis. Results. No differences in
empathic orientation were observed among courses and between sexes,
but differences were found in schools of medicine considered as a unit in
each studied country. Conclusions. Empathic orientation levels tend to
reduce as courses advance. This was observed in both male and female
students and in all schools analyzed.
The study of calculus plays an important role when it is necessary to
quantify or measure any phenomenon. However, in general, in the
educational system, formal construction processes and algorithmic
aspects have been prioritized. Seeking to answer this problem, an
investigation addressing the study of the derivative was started. The
work was framed from the perspective of Variational Thought and
Language, which studies the relationship between research and social
practices that rules the mathematics of change and variation in
educational systems. In a didactic engineering context, a sequence was
designed and presented in a Mathematics II class attended by
Agricultural Engineering students. The activities made it possible to
analyse different scenarios of variation (which magnitudes change, how
and how much they change), characterize variations between
magnitudes, through the calculation of rates of change, and explore how
the slope of a curve is related to the rate of change. Its presentation
from different representations contributes to the development of one of
the cognitive processes involved in mathematical thinking: visualization.
In this article, the theoretical and methodological aspects that support
the design of the sequence are briefly described, and some results of its
implementation from the observation of the activities developed by the
students are presented. The proposal managed to motivate students.
The discussion of the results will contribute to the optimization of the
sequence.
