Successful implementation of interprofessional education: A pedagogical design perspective

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is crucial within healthcare teams that must provide safe and quality care to their patients. Competent professionals in this area offer better care and contribute to a medical culture where IPC and teamwork are valued. To become competent, they must be adequately trained. Unfortunately, the literature describes that collaboration training is uneven across professions. Interprofessional education (IPE) could fill this educational gap but remains challenging to implement. This article aims to present ten clear and concise considerations to implementing IPE initiatives successfully, following a well-described pedagogical designing process. After reading, the clinician-educator will be informed of the newest evidence in IPE as well as the common pitfalls to avoid. From the starting point of a recent synthesis article on IPE, several additional syntheses, analyses, and recommendations articles were consulted and synthesized. From that, the findings are organized according to the “ADDIE” model, a flexible methodology used in pedagogical design through iterative cycles in context. The phases of “ADDIE” are analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. According to these phases, the considerations will be presented to allow the reader to apply them "step by step" in their educational planning process. Ten considerations are presented, from the needs analysis, stakeholders and Faculty involvement, composition of the design team, selection of students and types of learning activity, the role of reflexivity, training of facilitators, supervision, and the continuous improvement process. Taken together, these will contribute to highlighting the essential nature of training in collaboration in modern professionalizing programs.

Family linguistic ecology in Chinese American diasporas: migrants’ heritage language planning and discursive ethnolinguistic identity in-between

ABSTRACT Heritage language maintenance is a challenge faced by many immigrant parents. Previous studies on Chinese immigrant families and inheritance of the mother tongue privileged a pedagogical perspective focusing on second-language acquisition and literacy developments. Little attention has been paid to the nuanced understanding of how Chinese immigrant parents help their children construct language resilience of (un)belongingness across home and host contexts and how children negotiate fluid hybrid identity construction. Through questionnaires, semi-constructed interviews, and home visits with four Chinese immigrant families in the United States, this linguistic ethnography study probes the linguistic ecology, (in)visible language planning, and discursive identity construction in Chinese American diaspora families. The findings suggest migrant parents’ congruence and conflict in explicit and implicit family language ideology, management, and practice. Children negotiate fluid discursive identity construction and mediate hybrid culture characterised by the diversity of pathways of language learning as a (dis)continuum. The findings highlight the significance of a linguistic ecological niche in emergent bilingual immigrants’ heritage language maintenance and development. This research illuminates how parents can foster a greater sense of possibility for transitional children’s journeys of being and becoming bilinguals or multilinguals.

Transforming maker mindsets: A case study of elementary students in a maker education context during lesson study

Utilizing a case study approach, this research investigates the transformation of elementary students' Maker mindsets within the context of Maker education through a lesson study cycle. The study focuses on the Maker mindsets transformation of three students with varying abilities, deliberately chosen as information-rich participants. A project-specific questionnaire, the Maker Mindsets Scale, was employed to facilitate self-assessment of Maker mindsets before and after intervention. Additionally, teachers' post-lesson discussion meetings were observed, and semi-structured interviews with participating teachers were conducted to gauge their perceptions of students' Maker mindsets transformation. The analysis encompassed students' semi-structured reflection logs and interviews to uncover the underlying factors driving Maker mindsets transformation. The results revealed distinct variations in how students of different abilities perceived their Maker mindsets transformation. Nonetheless, participant teachers consistently observed transformations in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) thinking skills, self-efficacy, motivation, and collaborative learning across all students. The study further identifies a collaborative convergence of multiple factors contributing to Maker mindsets transformation, spanning teacher, student, and pedagogical perspectives. These findings carry significant implications for educators, advocating for the implementation of customized strategies, authentic contextualization, structured methodologies, and collaborative frameworks to holistically nurture Maker mindsets evolution. Moreover, our study underscores the practicality of the LS approach in fostering collaborative development of innovative pedagogical strategies aimed at fostering Maker mindsets formation.

청소년의 스마트폰 과의존 치유에 대한 교육학적 접근

[Objective] The purpose of this study is to approach practical measures for curing teenagers' smartphone addiction from a pedagogical perspective. [Contents] Solving smartphone addiction is a difficult task. This is because the term ‘resolution’ itself has a strong meaning of being completely concluded. Therefore, the focus should be on cultivating the ability to cure and manage smartphone addiction through addiction healing rather than solving addiction. A new human race called Phono Sapiens has emerged who uses smartphones like part of their body. This means that we spend a lot of time with our smartphones. However, excessive use of smartphones has led to the creation of a new term, ‘smombie’, and concerns have long been raised that excessive use of digital devices is linked to digital dementia. Teenagers are also not free from this phenomenon. Youth addiction to smartphones is becoming more severe, and the age group is also decreasing. Smartphone addiction causes many problems. A pedagogical approach to curing teenagers' smartphone addiction must be developed with the attention of adults. [Conclusions] If you want your children to change, your parents must change. This means that curing smartphone addiction should not be left solely to our children, but parents should also join in. When we go on a smartphone detox together and take time to focus on our inherent humanity, a world of trust and respect and responsibility is created.

Peran Kepemimpinan Transformasional dan Literasi Digital terhadap Kompetensi Pedagogis Guru dalam Pengintegrasian Teknologi

The success of improving the quality of educational institutions depends on the involvement of a transformational leadership style and digital literacy skills, which are part of teachers' professional competence in using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This research aims to measure the influence of perceptions of transformational leadership and digital literacy on teachers' pedagogical competence in integrating technology through the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The method used in this research is quantitative research with a simple and multiple linear regression analysis approach. The respondents were 78 teachers at teaching levels 7-12 in two national schools who completed a digital questionnaire. The results show that transformational leadership influences teacher pedagogical competence, digital literacy influences teacher pedagogical competence, and perceptions of transformational leadership and digital literacy influence teacher pedagogical competence in integrating technology. Based on the TPACK framework, which is used as a link between abilities and skills from pedagogical, content, and technology perspectives, the technology component needs to be improved to increase teacher confidence in integrating technology into learning.

Health in everyday teaching practice in Sweden: a social pedagogical analysis of high school teachers’ descriptions

This article aims to contribute a social pedagogical perspective of high school teachers’ descriptions of working with student health in their teaching practice in Sweden. Ten high school teachers were interviewed. The teachers considered their student health work as consisting of two main aspects: creating a good relationship and helping the students to succeed. These aspects are implicitly and explicitly described as comprising the recognition of the actors’ social and pedagogical identities. This study shows that social pedagogical recognition is significant for common success in school practice in relation to student health work. Clarifying the teachers’ responsibility and competence in student health work and strengthening teachers in their identity as health promoters could improve student health practice.

Non-formal encounters between Israeli families and African immigrant families foster lifelong learning competence

Purpose This study aims to examine the contribution of informal encounters outside the school walls between local Israeli families from “Waldorf Education” and immigrant families from Africa from formal state education and explore the consequences of these encounters on the development of lifelong learning competences. Research questions are as follows: In what way do non-formal encounters lead to the development of lifelong learning ability? What are the challenges and consequences of non-formal activity for research participants, families and educators from the pedagogical, social and personal perspectives? Design/methodology/approach The research uses a qualitative-interpretive case study approach that allows for in-depth observation of the phenomenon within the context of reality to understand the case, a non-formal encounter between two groups of parents from different cultures, languages and educational attitudes. In this case study, it is possible to generalize from the local to the global and examine processes, actions and behaviors in the studied case (Creswell et al., 2018; Yin, 2009). This empirical study allows description, analysis, understanding and explanation of the challenges and actions in organizing and holding non-formal encounters from personal experiences as a first source. Findings The analysis of the data brought up two main categories that represent the actions and insights from the non-formal encounters for developing lifelong learning competences: create a personal dialogue to strengthen trust and confidence; foster parental involvement. Non-formal encounters between families from different cultural-social backgrounds may promote lifelong learning competences such as tolerance, inclusion and openness. However, external intervention by a social association is required to organize, support and operate them. Research limitations/implications The research’s limitation was that it was conducted in the country’s center. Therefore, the findings must be considered in the context in which they are presented and not generalized to other regions or communities from other cultures in Israel and the world. A few limited encounters may affect the author’s interpretation of the study data. In addition, expressions of “social desire” that may be expressed in interviews must be considered. Practical implications This study emphasizes social activism. Despite all the differences and tensions, creating an equal space in the families’ encounters is essential for lifelong learning. The immigrant parents participated in decision-making, the stages of organization and the activities themselves during the encounters. This partnership strengthened their commitment and responsibility. Because they are a powerless minority group, it should not be assumed that two encounters will improve their self-confidence. The proof is that fewer participants came to the last encounter. Education experts must maintain consistency and continuity in forming partnerships with immigrant families over time and as part of lifelong learning. Social implications The non-formal encounters between the two groups of families create an atmosphere of equality: all are parents of children seeking to inculcate humane and social values. The collaborative atmosphere contributed to the understanding that closeness overpowers distance. Everyone is troubled by similar issues of parenting, enjoyment of children, nutritious food and a shared desire to be good citizens while maintaining tolerance, reciprocity and respect. Originality/value Non-formal encounters are actively performed to create belonging when the “others and we” join together for the community and the children. This is an extensive, open and accessible platform for strengthening social consciousness and understanding the connection between teaching, culture and society to promote equality in education. This study will allow schools to expand the boundaries of communication with parents and initiate additional activities with other social groups to foster children’s integration. It will enrich the academic knowledge about connections and communication of educators, families from Israel and immigrant families in developing a partnership in the school to promote lifelong learning.

Safety education at research facilities with radiation sources and short-term facility users – Current design and practice and possibilities for improvement

Research facilities such as spallation sources and synchrotrons generate radiation for use in atomic-level or molecular-scale experiments. These facilities can be viewed as complex safety-critical systems. An important aspect of the safety management of such systems is the short safety education and training programme the users are required to undergo in order to gain facility access. As research on the topic is limited, this study aimed to increase the knowledge about current education design and practice using the perspectives of safety science and pedagogy. Study objectives were to identify preconditions that impact the safety education design, to describe current design and practice of the safety education, and to identify weaknesses and possibilities for improvement. Site visits with a total of 20 interviews were performed at three research facilities. The results show the need for sufficient resources to maintain learning activities for users, provide pedagogical continuing education for educators, and maintain safety culture-enhancing activities to meet the challenges of having large numbers of short-term facility users. Increased focus should be placed on safety-related competence needs and the mapping of these to match the competence of individual users. New thinking and innovation can benefit the design and provision of such education activities, based on both socio-technical system and system safety perspectives.

Pedagogías de la memoria para usos educativos del pasado en Iberoamérica: Estado de la cuestión

The following text presents a state of the art of the field known in Ibero-America as “pedagogies of memory”, with the aim of highlighting some of the pedagogical and educational features involved in the work on social memory, drawing attention to the risks of abuse of the past and questioning the idea that memory is in itself liberating. The article is based on an analysis of academic publications produced in Ibero-American countries that have suffered violent and traumatic events in their recent past, such as Spain, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Brazil, among others. The results reveal interesting contributions in relation to the pedagogical perspectives and educational aims of the pedagogies of memory in the context analysed. Regarding pedagogical perspectives, critical pedagogy, social constructivism and an approach to the philosophy of education known as anamnetic narrative stand out. The educational aims include the teaching of recent history as a condition for learning about events that must not be repeated, citizenship training in human rights, and the formation of political subjectivities based on the principle of alterity. It is concluded that, despite the wealth of experiences in the works analysed, the field of pedagogies of memory is still developing and there are many precautions that we need to take in order to make use of the past for educational and emancipatory purposes.

Pedagogical Technique in Brown’s The Da Vinci Code Contrasted With Gaarder’s Sophie’s World

This article is a comparative and critical study, presenting Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code in relation to Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. The pedagogical matter in Sophie’s World is quite clear, nonetheless, this paper displays the possibility of pedagogy in The Da Vinci Code as well. Both novels contain a form of historical facts and philosophical knowledge with the purpose of educating the audiences. This article aims to analyze The Da Vinci Code and Sophie’s World from a pedagogical perspective in which Brown highlights a variety of notions when analyzing historical facts, to teach or explain to the woman Sophie, things which the reader comes to realize, are strongly desired for her to understand. This helps to display the types of sources of information people have access to nowadays. Gaarder also uses a unique technique to simplify different and difficult ideologies to be easily acquired by readers. Moreover, this paper intends to find answers to the questions of whether Gaarder has succeeded in keeping readers engaged in the imaginary story ‘Sophie’s World’ or whether the pedagogical narration impacts their engagement. There may be a constraint in how far Gaarder can use the pedagogical teaching in his novel. The authors force rhetorical style throughout the novels. This scholastic approach highlights a clear and effective explanation but this seems to take readers directly back to their role as students, which is quite passive. These philosophical interpretations might take readers out of the novel and show that the passage between imaginative and pedagogical teaching is more complex than it appears. Brown, in his novel The Da Vinci Code, uses a conspiracy thriller as a subgenre of thriller fiction to show philosophical interpretations of historical facts.

This special issue also highlights the challenges GenAI faces, such as limitations in contextual understanding and its impact on critical thinking skills. In addition, it provides a foundational framework for exploring effective and responsible GenAI integration, aiming to enrich educational experiences. We conclude that future research should focus on the longitudinal effects of GenAI tools on learning outcomes, developing ethical frameworks for their use, and ensuring their adaptability to diverse learner populations to promote inclusive educational practices.

Implication of E-learning and AI Individualized Pedagogical Perspectives

Over the past few years, multiple e-learning programs have been created. Technology-enabled learning possibilities are now commonplace in educational settings, and a lot of people use online resources to further their knowledge for private, professional, or academic purposes. The results show that while newly created e-learning programs are based on contemporary digital tools, require content that is more strategic and has a distinct emphasis than classic learning situations. These findings make one wonder if the elements of virtual education are the best additions to conventional face-to-face instruction. This paper focuses on identifying an e-learning program using Artificial Intelligence (AI) that effectively incorporates pedagogical learning approaches by using the expertise of pedagogical specialists. To help develop theoretical ideas for instruction, several categories encompassing conventional and e-learning learning theories, such as behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism, were examined.

Visual Materials in Classroom Teaching Learning: A Case Study on Nonformal Primary School

The evolution of technology and the paradigm shift triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic have reshaped educational practices, transitioning from conventional to digital mechanisms. The integration of digital learning resources has introduced a new dimension to the classroom environment. This paper aims to investigate the practicality of utilizing existing visual learning materials in non-formal educational settings. The case study focuses on non-formal primary schools operated by the JAAGO Foundation in Dhaka, serving as a representative sample. Data for this study were gathered through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and observation notes from teachers, learners, and experts in the sampled non-formal primary schools. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze and present the collected data. The findings of the study underscore significant positive effects of employing visual learning materials in non-formal primary classrooms. These effects manifest in the areas of motivation enhancement, assessment of prior knowledge, and promotion of active participation, particularly among disadvantaged learners. The study also highlights the effectiveness of visual materials in facilitating clear comprehension, fostering creativity and imagination, enhancing critical thinking skills, and promoting digital literacy as essential 21st-century skills. Moreover, the research reveals that visual learning materials play a crucial role in achieving desired learning outcomes, aligning with both learners' psychology and pedagogical perspectives. However, the study identifies key challenges hindering the effective use of visual materials in non-formal classrooms, including infrastructural inconveniences such as poor projection systems, noisy sound systems, and inadequate seating arrangements for students. In light of these findings, the study recommends the implementation of professional training sessions for educators and emphasizes the need for school authorities to take responsibility in addressing identified challenges. By doing so, the study advocates for the creation of an environment conducive to effective classroom practices utilizing visual materials in non-formal educational settings.
