Frailty in elderly individuals and perception of problems in indicators of attributes of primary healthcare: results of the ELSI-Brasil

This study aimed to examine the association between frailty syndrome and the perception of problems in indicators of attributes in primary healthcare (PHC) among elderly Brazilians. This was a cross-sectional study with 5,432 participants 60 years or older in the first wave of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brasil), conducted in 2015 and 2016. Frailty, the independent variable, was defined according to the theoretical framework of the frailty phenotype, and the indicators of problems in PHC attributes, the dependent variables, were obtained from questions related to health services use. Access, longitudinal care, coordination, comprehensiveness, family orientation, and cultural adequacy were the target attributes. For the data analysis, logistic regression models were used, adjusted for predisposing, enabling, and need factors for use of health services. Among the participants, 55.1% were females, 57.9% were 60 to 69 years of age, and 51.8% reported multimorbidity. Frail and pre-frail elders accounted for 13.4% and 54.5% of the sample, respectively. Multivariate analyses showed that frail elders (compared to robust elders) showed higher odds of reporting problems with access (OR = 1.45; 95%CI: 1.08-1.93), longitudinal care (OR = 1.54; 95%CI: 1.19-2.00), and comprehensive care (OR = 1.45; 95%CI: 1.14-1.85), in addition to more problems with attributes of PHC (OR = 1.38; 95%CI: 1.05-1.82, for 5 or more). The study suggests the occurrence of inequities in the care provided by Brazilian PHC for frail elders, particularly in the attributes of access, longitudinal care, and comprehensiveness.

Cross-cultural adaptation of the Recovery Self-Assessment RSA-R Family/Brazil: Validity evidence based on test content.

In the cross-cultural adaptation of instruments, the qualitative component of adaptation is generally poorly reported, sometimes being superficially addressed. In this study we aimed to describe the qualitative component of the cross-cultural adaptation process and to demonstrate validity evidence based on test content of the Recovery Self-Assessment-RSA-R Family/Brazil. We conducted a qualitative study that included the steps of preparation, translation, back-translation, expert's assessment, workshop with a researcher from Yale University, and two pilot studies involving family members of patients attended at mental health services. Among the results, we found considerable validity evidence based on test content with a percentage of agreement above 80%. Pilot studies contributed to accentuating this evidence, assisting in the cultural adequacy of the statements and in the operational equivalence of the instrument. The adaptation process of the RSA-R Family/Brazil proved to be complex. From this experience, we concluded that presenting validity evidence based on test content is important to ensure the applicability tools to the target culture. The instrument will still be evaluated as for psychometric characteristics through statistical techniques.

Error Analysis in Translation of Quotations in Online News Feature

Error is an important aspect to consider, among other news elements, in order to overcome mistranslation. This is due to the fact that news translation encounters language and cultural barriers that may hinder total understanding of a news message (Conway, 2010). Error analysis is a method to document language errors that occur in a specific language. Therefore, this error analysis research is conducted to identify and pinpoint common translation errors that occur in online news feature. This research data is comprised of 859 quotations extracted from news feature published online by BERNAMA, the Malaysian national news agency. Kussmaul’s five categories of error is utilized in analyzing news feature data. Findings indicate that translation errors occur in news feature translations. Even though literal translation is widely used in translating news feature, certain facts and meanings cannot be conveyed in the target news language which subsequently create problems among target readers in understanding the news feature main messages. These translation errors can be categorized into five categories, i.e. cultural adequacy, situational adequacy, speech act, word meaning and language. Among these, errors in language received the highest frequency (35%) and the least frequent common error is cultural adequacy (1.6%). Hence, this study gives insights towards the type of translation errors that occur in news feature translation and have potential implications for news agencies and news translators. Both parties may use these findings in improving news feature translation process and enhance the final news feature product quality.

Linguistic and cultural adaptation to the Portuguese language of antimicrobial dose adjustment software.

ABSTRACTObjective To adapt an antibiotic dose adjustment software initially developed in English, to Portuguese and to the Brazilian context.Methods This was an observational, descriptive study in which the Delphi method was used to establish consensus among specialists from different health areas, with questions addressing the visual and operational aspects of the software. In a second stage, a pilot experimental study was performed with the random comparison of patients for evaluation and adaptation of the software in the real environment of an intensive care unit, where it was compared between patients who used the standardized dose of piperacillin/tazobactam, and those who used an individualized dose adjusted through the software Individually Designed and Optimized Dosing Strategies.Results Twelve professionals participated in the first round, whose suggestions were forwarded to the software developer for adjustments, and subsequently submitted to the second round. Eight specialists participated in the second round. Indexes of 80% and 90% of concordance were obtained between the judges, characterizing uniformity in the suggestions. Thus, there was modification in the layout of the software for linguistic and cultural adequacy, minimizing errors of understanding and contradictions. In the second stage, 21 patients were included, and there were no differences between doses of piperacillin in the standard dose and adjusted dose Groups.Conclusion The adapted version of the software is safe and reliable for its use in Brazil.

Multi-criteria decision model for the selection and location of temporary shelters in disaster management

The occurrence of natural or anthropic disasters in Brazil and the world emphasizes the importance of humanitarian logistics. Scholars and practitioners have developed modeling approaches to support aid delivery planning, but little attention has been given to the selection of community or collective temporary shelters. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel multi-criteria decision model focused on the principles of humanitarian logistics for the selection and spatial location of community or collective temporary shelters. This model not only incorporates evaluation criteria from documents published by humanitarian aid organizations and related literature but also the expertise of 23 experienced humanitarian logisticians from the Brazilian Civil Defense. The results quantify the importance of each criterion and enable the development of a decision tool, the ShelterPro software, that can be used to support the decision-making process of selecting temporary shelters. The results also indicate that safety of the facility, cultural adequacy, and location accessibility are the most valuable criteria. With these insights and the decision supporting tool, better humanitarian decisions can be made by humanitarian logistics managers, local authorities, or designated officials in the selection and location of temporary shelters in emergency response.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Educational Technology Device Predisposition Assessment into Brazilian–Portuguese language

Objective The study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Brazilian–Portuguese version of the instrument Educational Technology Device Predisposition Assessment in its Brazilian version for the student and version for the teacher. Method It is a methodological study, focusing on the steps for preparing an adapted version of the assessment instruments. The following operational system was adopted: 1st) initial and reconciled translation into Brazilian–Portuguese language; 2nd) back-translation and adequacy of the instrument; 3nd) equivalence analysis of the instruments’ items; 4nd) Pretest and cultural adequacy. Result The translated and culturally adapted version has a high index of agreement and good acceptability by the study participants. Conclusion The translated and adapted to Brazilian Portuguese instrument can be used in the Brazilian school settings to verify the predisposition to use technologies. Implications for rehabilitation Educational technologies enable students with many types of disability to receive instruction according to their learning needs and styles, assist them in communicating and participating more effectively, and increases self-confidence and motivation through the mastery of an educational program. Not all students benefit from the same type of educational technology and it is important to match them with the ones most appropriate for their use. The Educational Technology Predisposition Assessment assists in the selection of educational technologies based on a particular student’s learning style, needs and preferences. The Educational Technology Predisposition Assessment is a validated measurement and it has been translated for use in Brazil and has been found to be a reliable tool.

Is Family Group Conferencing a Culturally Adequate Method outside the Origin of New Zealand? A Systematic Review

It is generally assumed that Family Group Conference (FGC) is a culturally adequate method for social work in indigenous communities. In this meta-synthesis, we question this assumption. Through systematic and strategic searches, we explored the existing trends of FGC research in indigenous contexts. We have included 26 articles are included in the literature review. Our analyses reveal that there is a tendency towards taking the cultural adequacy of FGC for granted. A few researchers question these assumptions, and debate tokenism and colonialism in social work. We argue that implementing FGC in new communities requires foundation in local, cultural context.

Argentinean Validation of the Factorial Structure of the Learning Experiences Questionnaire (LEQ)

Studies of self-efficacy that is linked to realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional (RIASEC) typology constitute a growing field of research because of its relevance to vocational and occupational choices. Particularly in Argentina, this line of research is still ongoing and requires valid and reliable measurement tools. The present work adapted the Learning Experiences Questionnaire (LEQ) in a sample of 721 university students (473 women, 248 men), 18–53 years old, from Córdoba, Argentina. The authors translated the items of the LEQ and corroborated the cultural adequacy of their content. The multiple factorial structure that was reported in previous studies in North American contexts was replicated using the multitrait-multimethod matrix. The results provide convergent and discriminant evidence of the scale for use with Argentinean university students. Limitations are discussed, and further lines of investigation are suggested.

ResultsThe instrument, consisting of 13 multiple-choice questions, showed acceptability, with an average Content Validity Index of 0.88. The reliability analysis showed moderate agreement (0.67) indicating that test-retest reproducibility is acceptable. ConclusionThe instrument DFConhecimento showed reliability and internal consistency, proving suitable for measuring Brazilian healthcare professional providers’ acquisition of knowledge on sickle cell disease.

Needs assessment for cultural adaptation of Strengthening Families Program (SFP 10-14-UK) in Brazil

This study sought to evaluate the cultural adequacy of materials and procedures of the Strengthening Families Program (SFP 10-14-UK) and to identify requirements for its cultural adaptation to Brazilian families. The descriptive study had 33 informants, including external observers, managers, multipliers, facilitators, adolescents, and parents. The data were collected at a pilot application in the Federal District. Direct observation was applied to four intervention groups, with seven meetings of 150 min for families, parents/guardians and adolescents, and mixed nominal groups at the end of the interventions. The results, analyzed through content analysis and descriptive statistics, provided evidence that SFP was perceived as sufficiently appealing, culturally relevant, and partially clear. Recommendations for cultural adaptation of linguistic aspects of the materials and procedures were made, considering the cultural and educational differences of the participant families. Focus on implementation quality, including infrastructure, families’ mobilization and continuous planning, was recommended. Replication studies in other Brazilian regions and analyses of contextual and political dimensions are suggested.

From the Perspective of the Protection of Housing Right, a Critical Study on the Housing-related Laws and Regulations

2015년부터 제정․시행되고 있는 「주거기본법」은 명시적으로 주거권을 규정하고 이를 보장하기 위한 구체적 내용들을 두고 있다. 그리고 무엇보다 주거권과 관련된 다른 법률들과의 관계에서 「주거기본법」이 상위법에 해당함을 밝히고 있다. 그런데 「주거기본법」상 주거권의 구성요소들 중 ‘쾌적하고 안정적인 주거환경’의 구체적 의미가 무엇인지는 동법에 나타나 있지 않아 체계적 해석을 해야만 한다. 우리 헌법 제6조 제1항에 따르면 헌법에 의하여 체결․공포된 조약은 국내법과 같은 효력을 가지는데, 국회의 동의를 얻어 가입서를 제출하여 1990년 7월부터 국내법과 같은 효력을 가지는 가장 강력한 주거권 관련 국제규범으로 인정되는 UN 「사회권규약」은 UN 사회권 위원회의 일반논평을 통해 어떤 경우에 주거환경이 적절한지에 대해 상세히 밝히고 있다. 즉 점유의 법적 안정성(Legal security of tenure), 서비스 등 가용성(Availability of services, materials, facilities and infrastructure), 경제적 부담가능성(Affordability), 물리적 거주적합성(Habitability), 접근가능성(Accessibility), 입지적합성(Location), 문화적 적절성(Cultural adequacy)이 적절한 주거의 구성요소이다. 쾌적하고 안정적인 주거환경은 당연히 적절한 주거환경이므로 이상의 「사회권 규약」의 주거환경의 적절성 구성요소들 중 「주거기본법」제2조 주거권의 구성요소인 주거환경의 ‘쾌적성’과 ‘안정성’에 해당되는 것들을 추출해 냄으로써 ‘쾌적성’과 ‘안정성’의 의미들을 구체화 할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 ‘안정성’은 점유의 법적 안정성과 경제적 부담가능성을, ‘쾌적성’은 서비스 등 가용성, 물리적 거주적합성, 접근가능성, 입지적합성, 문화적 적절성을 구체적으로 의미하는 것으로 해석할 수 있을 것이다. 지진과 같은 물리적 위험으로부터 해당 지역 주민들을 보호해주는 것은 무엇보다 「주거기본법」상의 주거권의 쾌적성, 특히 물리적 거주적합성의 보장을 통해 최소한의 주거 수준을 확보해 주는 것으로서 국가의 의무이다. 그럼에도 「주거기본법」제18조에서 최저주거기준 미달 가구에 대한 우선 지원을 국가 등의 재량사항으로 규정해 놓은 것은 지진과 같은 물리적 위험으로부터 국민의 최소한의 주거권을 보장함에 있어서 미흡한 것이다. 비록 사회적 기본권이 국가 내적 권리이므로 국가의 재정 형편 등에 따라 인정 여부가 결정되긴 하지만 주거권과 관련하여 최저주거수준을 확보해 주는 것은 국가의 의무사항으로 규정하는 것이 타당할 것이다. 임대차에 있어 임차인을 보호하기 위한 핵심적 수단 두 가지는 차임과 임대차 기간에 대한 통제이다. 그런데 차임 통제에 관해서만 유독 규율상의 미비로 젠트리피케이션 현상과 같은 새로운 사회적 위험에 맞서 임차인의 주거권, 특히 주거의 안정성 요소로서 점유의 법적 안정성이 크게 침해받고 있는 것이다. 그리고 그 결과 다른 거주민들의 주거권, 특히 주거의 쾌적성 요소로서 서비스 등 가용성도 침해받고 있다. 따라서 당사자들의 사적자치를 심각하게 훼손하지 않는 범위 내에서 임대차 기간에 대한 통제 수준의 차임 통제 조항들의 도입이 필요하다고 할 것이다. 마지막으로 「서울특별시 도시 및 주거환경 정비조례」제35조 제1항 제1호 ‘무주택세대주’의 해석과 관련하여 서울시 행정실무에서처럼 세대구성원 전원이 무주택이어야 주택재개발사업 시 임대주택 공급대상자인 임차인이 될 수 있다고 한다면 이는 최근의 다양한 세대구성 형태를 제대로 반영하지 못하는 것이다. 그리고 그 결과는 주택 재개발 사업이 시행되는 지역에 거주하는 임차인들의 주거권, 특히 주거의 안정성의 구성요소로서 점유의 법적 안정성과 주거의 쾌적성의 구성요소로서 입지적합성에 대한 침해로 이어질 수 있다. 따라서 「서울특별시 도시 및 주거환경 정비조례」제35조는 만혼, 비혼 추세 및 이혼율의 증가로 성년의 형제, 자매 등으로만 이루어진 세대가 증가하는 등 최근의 다양한 세대구성 형태를 제대로 반영할 수 있도록 개정될 필요가 있다.

Adaptation transculturelle francophone de la Confusion Assessment Method

IntroductionThe Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a validated key tool in clinical practice and research programs to diagnose delirium and assess its severity. There is no validated French version of the CAM training manual and coding guide (Inouye SK). The aim of this study was to establish a consensual French version of the CAM and its manual. MethodsCross-cultural adaptation to achieve equivalence between the original version and a French adapted version of the CAM manual. ResultsA rigorous process was conducted including control of cultural adequacy of the tool's components, double forward and back translations, reconciliation, expert committee review (including bilingual translators with different nationalities, a linguist, highly qualified clinicians, methodologists) and pretesting. A consensual French version of the CAM was achieved. ConclusionImplementation of the CAM French version in daily clinical practice will enable optimal diagnosis of delirium diagnosis and enhance communication between health professionals in French speaking countries. Validity and psychometric properties are being tested in a French multicenter cohort, opening up new perspectives for improved quality of care and research programs in French speaking countries.

Atención del parto y del puerperio inmediato con pertinencia intercultural

Propósito: Explorar los factores que influyen en la aplicación de la interculturalidad con respecto a la atención del parto y puerperio inmediato en personal médico y paramédico, comadronas y usuarias del Centro de Urgencias Médicas (CUM) de Tecpán, Chimaltenango, abril-mayo 2017. Material y métodos: Estudio cualitativo con diseño etnográfico. Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad al personal de salud y usuarias del CUM y grupos focales con comadronas. Se evaluó la infraestructura de las salas de parto y posparto. Resultados: En el personal médico y paramédico se evidenciaron saberes limitados acerca de la pertinencia cultural, descrita en las Normas de Atención con Pertinencia Cultural. Se contó con el 65% de los elementos de infraestructura y equipo de la sala de partos culturalmente adecuada. Las comadronas percibieron una atención deficiente y refirieron poco interés y capacitación del personal del servicio de salud. Las usuarias opinaron que existe una buena relación con el personal de salud, sin embargo no se les brindó una atención con adecuación cultural.Conclusiones: Los factores que influyen en la implementación de las prácticas interculturales son de índole económica principalmente, además de aspectos estructurales, organizaciones y socioculturales.

Race as an Open Field: Exploring Identity beyond Fixed Choices

This paper uses new, nationally representative data to examine how Americans describe their own racial and ethnic identities when they are not constrained by conventional fixed categories. Recent work on shifting racial classifications and the fluidity of racial identities in the United States has questioned the subjective and cultural adequacy of fixed categorization schemes. Are traditional racial boundaries breaking down? We explore the possibility in three ways. First, we explore the relationship between open-field identification (asked at time of survey) with fixed-choice racial and ethnic identifications (asked upon panel entry). Despite changes in American racial and ethnic discourse, most people reproduce normative, categorical racial and ethnic descriptors to identify themselves. Yet racial and ethnic classification is more complex and fluid for some respondents, particularly those who had earlier described themselves as Hispanic or mixed race. Second, we investigate the social meaning of alternative racial labels. Within the standard racial and ethnic categories, there are both dominant labels (e.g., White, Black, Hispanic) and less dominant alternatives (e.g., Caucasian, African American, Latinx); in some cases, the differences come with important social distinctions. Third, we explore the ways that a small but important subset of respondents refuse or deny racial identification altogether. We conclude with a discussion of the future of racial and ethnic classifications, paying particular attention to plans for the 2020 U.S. census.

Time-to-Report of the Bone Culture and Microbiologic Adequacy of Empiric Antibiotics in Patient’s with Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis

Abstract Background Bone cultures in diabetic foot infection is the most accurate method to identify causative pathogen, while there is only 30% concordance between superficial wound swab and bone biopsy cultures. Diabetic foot infection is commonly polymicrobial, therefore report on the bone biopsy culture may come with several updates before it is finalized. Our study is aimed to describe how often additional pathogens were identified after patients’ discharge on antibiotics therapy for diabetic foot osteomyelitis, and evaluate microbiological appropriateness of antibiotic regimen upon discharge based on the final result of the bone culture. Methods Medical records of the patients 18 years old or older, who had inpatient bone biopsy, deep tissue debridement or amputation for diabetic foot infection, were reviewed from January 2014 through Dec 2015 in Rochester Regional Health System. Antibiotic regimens for the patients discharged before final culture result were evaluated for microbiological appropriateness by two reviewers trained in infectious diseases. Results In total, 198 procedures were screened, 158 procedures met inclusion criteria, out of which 74 patients with 80 procedures (51%) were discharged before the final culture result was available. Average time from procedure to the final culture report was 6 days, and from discharge to the final culture was 3.7 days. In most of the cases (70%, 56 out of 80) the patients were discharged on empiric regimen discordant with final culture result. Predominant organisms were Gram-positive bacteria 74%, with Gram negatives 24%, and yeast 2%. Most infections were polymicrobial (81%), mixed with anaerobic bacteria in 37%. The most frequent isolates were Staphylococcus aureus (15%), Corynebacterium (14%), anaerobic Gram-positive cocci (12%), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (8%). All negative Gram stains (31%, 25 out of 80) had positive growth on culture. Conclusion Half of the patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis, who underwent bone biopsy, were discharged before final culture results were available. Most of them were discharged on empiric regimen discordant with final culture. This data suggests that careful outpatient follow-up on the final culture would likely result in modification of antibiotics therapy to target newly reported pathogen.

Cross-cultural adaptation of the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire to Argentinian Spanish.

In Argentina, there was not an adapted and validated instrument to evaluate readiness for the transition to adult health care. The purpose of this study was to describe the process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire 5.0 to Argentinian Spanish. The authors of the instrument were contacted to this effect. Stage 1: two translators performed the translation to Spanish. Stage 2: based on these two versions, version 1 was agreed upon. Stage 3: two back-translations were performed. Stages 4 and 5: both back-translated versions were compared, and the Spanish version was adapted to ensure correspondence with the original. Subheads were added in each domain, and version 2 was obtained. Stage 6: the questionnaire was field tested to ensure the cultural adequacy of the vocabulary, thus obtaining version 3. In the last stage (stage 7), the instrument was tested in two hospitals. Finally, the cross-cultural adaptation of the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire 5.0 for the Argentinian population was obtained.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Sport Imagery Questionnaire to Brazilian Portuguese

Imagery can be defined as a human capacity of mentally rehearse and reproduce a skill. The use of imagery techniques is common among athletes. To contribute with sport psychologists on the quantitative assessment of mental training based on Allan Paivio’s model, this study aims to translate, adapt and assess content validity of the Sport Imagery Questionnaire in Brazil. The process of adaptation followed the guidelines of the International Test Commission. Three independent translators translated to Brazilian Portuguese; then the synthesis of those items produced the first version of the instrument that was back-translated to English. This first version in Brazilian Portuguese with the original and back-translated versions in English were sent to four bilingual sport psychology specialists. Content Validity Coefficient was used to evaluate cultural adequacy, understanding and quality of translation of each item and the questionnaire. Results showed an average CVC of 0,88 for adequacy, 0,87 for understanding and 0,85 for quality of translation among items and a CVC of 0,88 for the scale as a whole. Obtained data was discussed through the light of sports practice and culture in Brazil.

The South African Personality Inventory (SAPI): a culture-informed instrument for the country's main ethnocultural groups.

We present the development and the underlying structure of a personality inventory for the main ethnocultural groups of South Africa, using an emic-etic approach. The South African Personality Inventory (SAPI) was developed based on an extensive qualitative study of the implicit personality conceptions in the country's 11 official languages (Nel et al., 2012). Items were generated and selected (to a final set of 146) with a continuous focus on cultural adequacy and translatability. Students and community adults (671 Blacks, 198 Coloreds, 104 Indians, and 391 Whites) completed the inventory. A 6-dimensional structure (comprising a positive and a negative Social-Relational factor, Neuroticism, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Openness) was equivalent across groups and replicated in an independent sample of 139 Black and 270 White students. The SAPI correlated highly overall with impression-management aspects, but lower with lying aspects of social desirability. The SAPI social-relational factors were distinguishable from the Big Five in a joint factor analysis; the multiple correlations with the Big Five were .64 (positive) and .51 (negative social-relational). Implications and suggestions for emic-etic instrument and model development are discussed.

EDUCATION AND CULTURE (CONCERNING THE PROBLEM IN SEARCH THE PRINCIPLE OF EDUCATION ADEQUACY)

This article develops a theme raised in the study «Education in Search of the Adequacy principle» by Yu. V. Larin, whereas the topical principle of modern education is the principle of cultural adequacy. The aim of the study is the analysis of value-semantic content of the principle of cultural adequacy of education. Methods of the study are formed by appeal to cultural approach connecting methods of ideal typing and value-semantic reconstruction. Results. In general, there are three types of culture based on the explication of the three modality human relations to the world: «the world is a condition», «the world is a tool», «the world is a purpose»; and, accordingly, three types of pedagogical culture: traditional, utilitarian, creative. Traditional pedagogical culture focuses on education homo traditional – traditional man, the individual, the obedient executor of the culture value semantic, regulatory policies and regulations, subordinating its activity transmitted from generation to generation tradition. The semantic space of traditional pedagogical culture principle of cultural adequacy education is defined as the principle of consistency with established tradition. Pedagogical culture of utilitarian type directs a homo utilitarian – utilitarian man, individuality, interpreting the culture value semantic, legal and regulatory requirements and on the basis of situational use, fully to the publication of his life publicly or individually beneficial activities. The utilitarian type principle of cultural adequacy of education is defined as the principle of consistency with the social and/or individual use in the semantic space of pedagogical culture. Pedagogical culture of creative types is aimed at nurturing homo creator – creative person whose existence is self-organization in the space between tradition and innovation, absolute and relative, universal and particular meanings of human existence, between social and individual, collectivist and individualism aspects. Teaching of creatively thinking personality is associated with updating of creative modality attitude toward the world as creative activity, with the development of the needs for self-actualization. The cultural adequacy principle within the framework of pedagogic culture of creative type education means congruity with creativity. The implementation of this principle is related to the cultivation not only of originality, extraordinary, nontrivial thinking, but the formation of creational, aimed at an increment in life to the world. Scientific novelty of the research concludes in originality, as well as research methodology and its results; the author’s typology of pedagogical culture is designed. Practical significance. The proposed typology of pedagogical culture can serve as a tool for the analysis of modern education; identify its specificity and ways of upgrading.
