Challenges and innovations in the use of active methodologies in undergraduate medical courses

Background Conscious perception of oneself and others in their complexity and subjectivity allows the approach of trying to understand the human being to overcome the labeling stigma of the disease. For the educator, it is unique to guide the way that can transform a gap in the undergraduate medical education into a possibility of positive action. It was in this sense that the perception workshop was developed based on the concept of Integrated Gestalt Therapy. Teachers of the Communication, Leadership, and Management Skills discipline invited undergraduate medical students to stimulate the five senses. For sensory experiments, 6 stations were used in the classroom. Season 1 - View: Photos from the 'More Medical Programs' and deductive interpretation were posted on the board for observation. Season 2 - Tact: Blindfolded they handled four types of objects with different textures. Season 3 - Movement: two photos of yoga position (medium and high complexity) for imitation. Station 4 - hearing: auditory processing through binaural stimulation with computer-attached headset. Season 5 - nose and taste memory: through spices, leaves and dried fruits, the nostrils were stimulated for identification and recognition. Station 6 - Speech: Voice Lab through Voice Spectrogram Analysis (Praat). Results Faced with activities like this, we can see that students go through a process of breaking paradigms, which significantly influences their way of thinking. This training is part of continuing education through the perspective of the knowledge spiral. With the evolution of the undergraduate years, the student will be able to refine and deepen their reflections in a continuous process. Conclusions This work represents a breakthrough in the field of health education. Humanized professionals, aware of their skills and abilities, with actions aimed at the well-being of the population, in a generalist, critical and reflective manner. Key messages The impact generated on the assisted population have been observed when this new professional profile is inserted in health services. This workshop represents a breakthrough in the field of training health professionals with actions focused on the welfare of the population in a generalist, critical and reflexive manner.

Transmission Mechanism of Simmelian Ties on Knowledge Spiral——Conduction combination of High Performance Work Practice System and Knowledge Fermenting

<p>The knowledge spiral is a dynamic process for knowledge creation and evolution. It makes use of external connection to circulate, integrate, and accumulate all kinds of knowledge resources. The simmelian ties is an effective way to form the external connection. This study constructs the theoretical framework of transmission mechanism of simmelian ties on knowledge spiral. The theoretical framework uses high performance work practice system and knowledge fermenting as conduction and dual media channel variables. It takes high-tech manufacturing enterprises as empirical analysis objects. The study carries out empirical research on the transmission mechanism and media paths of simmelian ties on knowledge spiral by <i>combinations of differential evolution algorithm method, extended DEMATEL method</i>, and <i>Bayesian estimation-SEM method</i>. <b>All of the above methodologies were approved by all human participants</b>. Empirical analysis results indicates that strong and weak simmelian ties have significantly positive effects on high performance work practice system respectively; high performance work practice system significantly promotes knowledge fermenting while knowledge fermenting further plays significantly positive roles in promoting the knowledge spiral. This study takes high performance work practice system and knowledge fermenting as the breakthrough points. It then extends the transmission paths of simmelian ties on knowledge spiral from the perspectives of theoretical and empirical standpoints, which provides theoretical references and practical guidances for promoting and catalyzing knowledge fermenting and knowledge spiral for high-tech manufacturing enterprises.</p>

Knowledge Creation and Student Engagement Within 3D Virtual Worlds

Examined in this 3D Virtual World case study was undergraduate student engagement on a learning task and student creation of knowledge. After creating a 3D didactic constructivist virtual world, student conversations were recorded for analysis using Hara, Bonk, and Angeli's (2000) engagement framework and Nonaka and Takeuchi's (1995) knowledge creation theory. The five forms of student engagement augmented the learning process and a complete knowledge spiral was documented, emphasizing the use of the four modes of knowledge conversion. Though limited in time and scope, results further suggest that a highly engaged community of learners was created.
