«НАБЛЮДАЕТСЯ ВСЮДУ ЗАСТОЙ, ВЯЛОСТЬ, РАВНОДУШИЕ И СОНЛИВОСТЬ»: КРЫМСКИЙ УНИВЕРСИТЕТ ИМЕНИ М. В. ФРУНЗЕ В ПЕРВОЙ ПОЛОВИНЕ 20-Х ГОДОВ ХХ СТОЛЕТИЯ ПО ЭПИСТОЛЯРНОМУ НАСЛЕДИЮ П. А. ДВОЙЧЕНКО

The eventful period of the history of the first Crimean university is considered. After V. I. Vernadsky’s departure from the peninsula, the university, named after Commander M. V. Frunze, tried to defend in teaching practice and scientific life the high standards laid down since its foundation by rectors R. I. Helvig and V. I. Vernadsky. However, the socio-political situation in the first half of the 20s of the twentieth century did not contribute to the dynamic development of the university. The New Economic Policy dictated other norms for the organization of the educational process, which eventually led to the liquidation of the university and the organization of a modest provincial pedagogical university on its basis. An interesting source about the situation inside the M. V. Frunze Crimean University are letters from Professor Pyotr Abramovich Dvoichenko (1883–1945) to the former rector of Taurida University, Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky (1863–1945). The article comments on the facts set out in the epistolary and the mentioned personalities, which makes it possible to get an objective idea of the scientific daily life of the Crimean university in this period.

Complex thinking and adopting artificial intelligence tools: a study of university students

In the next 5 years, artificial intelligence (AI) tools are expected to become commonplace in people’s lives, especially in their work processes. Therefore, educational institutions feel intrinsically responsible for ensuring that their students acquire and develop competences associated with the appropriate use of this technology in their educational programs. However, what are the perceptions of students regarding the inclusion of artificial intelligence tools in their educational process and future careers, and what competencies can influence a greater adoption of this technology in the classroom? The objective of this article presents the results of an exploratory study in a sample population of students from a technological university in Mexico, in which their perception and openness toward the training and use of artificial intelligence tools for their professions was examined. Their perception of the development of complex thinking and its sub-competencies was evaluated, recognizing that complex thinking is a valuable cognitive skill to face changes in uncertain environments. The methodology of the study consisted of a multivariate descriptive statistical analysis using R software. The results determined a positive correlation between students’ perceived improvement in the achievement of complex thinking competence and their perception of the use of AI tools. In conclusion, participants perceived the use of these tools as a feature of their profession, although they questioned whether this knowledge is included in their professional training. This article presents several findings that offer ample opportunities for future research.

Education of U.S. primary care physicians at the Latin American medical school in Cuba

Background: Growing global health disparities have led to an international call for reform in physician education to meet the need for more responsive providers, emphasizing social accountability, with its four main criteria being relevance, quality, cost-effectiveness, and equity. In contrast to traditional models, Cuba’s Latin American Medical School (la Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina, ELAM) promotes primary healthcare for disadvantaged populations by providing free medical education to foreign students from low-income communities, including United States (U.S.) citizens. This study examines the processes and standards by which the Latin American Medical School provides socially accountable education, with an emphasis on current and former students from the U.S. The objective of this study is to assess the efforts of ELAM to educate medical students in socially accountable and ethical ways. Methods: Guided by the four abovementioned criteria of social accountability, we thematically analyzed survey comments from 56 past U.S. graduates of the ELAM and interviews with four current U.S. students and eight instructors. Results: Relevance of the ELAM´s training was reflected in the integration of public health practices (e.g., community assessments) and medical care relevant to local and international health concerns. Quality is manifested in the school’s promotion of evidence-based care through tailored academic content for the U.S. students, expanded educational facilities throughout Cuba, and extensive clinical experiences. ELAM exhibits cost-effectiveness via free education and other financial assistance. Promoting equity in healthcare is evident in students’ desire to care for underserved populations with whom they identify. Graduates, current students, and instructors demonstrate that educating physicians from marginalized communities helps to answer the call for social accountability; this was supported by the educational processes and achieved outcomes. Discussion: These findings indicate that the Latin American Medical School’s mission and core activities meet the WHO’s criteria for social accountability and advance current understanding of such programs.

Assessment and Evaluation Methods for 21st Century Education: Measuring What Matters
