Use Of Different Skills Research Articles

From the astro to the nano scale: a learning by doing teaching pathway

From the nano-world to solar systems length-scales span over several orders of magnitude. In young student it is therefore hard to fully understand the relative proportions among different objects even belonging to the same level of complexity. Resizing to humanrelated distances is an effective way to understand the relative distances in astronomic scales or the amount of information contained in a single cell. In general, the use of imagination is essential in educational research as well as the use of different skills in interdisciplinary works. Some appealing example will be given and the result of a pilot learning by doing teaching pathway involving hundreds of young students will be presented. Clues will give indications for future directions in educational research.

Remote study process during Covid-19

The higher education in Latvia became remote in the spring of 2020 due to the pandemic of Covid-19. Bearing in mind the probability of reoccurrence of a similar crisis, the aim of the study is to establish the self-evaluation of digital communication and collaboration skills of Latvian higher education students, and to detect the difficulties experienced during the remote study process. Data was collected through an online survey. Study shows that although the self-assessed level of competence of digital communication and collaboration skills is high, the use of skills is not as frequent, indicating that remote study process is not equivalent to on-site education. The academic staff is advised to vary teaching methods to stimulate use of different skills.

Efficacy of religious integrated counselling in fostering hospitality and religious harmony in Nigeria: counsellors’ perspective

This study surveyed counsellor’s opinion on the efficacy of religious integrated counselling in fostering hospitality and religious harmony in Nigeria. The sample for the study was 120, Counselling for Hospitality and Religious Harmony Questionnaire (CHRHQ) was used for data collection Content Validity Index of CHRHQ was 0.85 and 0.87 reliability. Majority agreed that integrated religious counselling could foster hospitality and encourage religious harmony through competent and appropriate use of different skills and techniques. Also, majority had integrated religion into counselling. No sex difference was found on counsellors’ perception of ways to foster hospitality and religious harmony through counselling, but sex difference exists in the integration of religion into counselling. It was therefore recommended that learning about different religions should become part of counsellors’ training; every mainstream counsellor must take a course in the two major religions – Christianity and Islam, and massive enlightenment programmes through the media are required.

Kompetencje komunikacyjne mediatora

Effective communication in mediation requires the use of different skills. Talking is only one of them. Listening and asking questions is more important. These are two key skills for the mediator’s work. Knowledge of non-verbal communication is also important. To this should be added the ability to detect lies and manipulation.

Twenty-First Century Skills for All: Adults and Problem Solving in Technology Rich Environments

The current Information Society requires new skills for personal, labor and social inclusion. Among the so-called Twenty-First Century Skills (Care et al. (eds) in Assessment and teaching of 21st century skills, Springer, New York, 2018) is Problem Solving in Technology Rich Environments (PS-TRE) competence evaluated in PISA and PIAAC tests (OECD in Survey of adult skills (PIAAC). Retrieved from https://goo.gl/cpb3fQ (2016)). This skill, although currently receiving considerable attention in compulsory education, has not received the same level of thought in the case of adult education. In this article, the presence of the PS-TRE skill among adults of working age (25–65 years) in Europe is analysed in relation to the factors that potentially affect a higher score in this skill. This analysis is carried out using structural equations modelling, taking into account socio-personal and educational factors, as well as the use of different skills in work and daily life. The results indicate that educational level and the use of different skills (reading, numerical, related to ICT) at home and at work, as well as participation in non-formal education activities, decisively relate to a higher level of PS-TRE. This result is positively mediated through risk factors such as being older or being a woman. This study concludes that it is necessary to reinforce these skills, not only in children, but also in the adult population, in order to avoid social and labour exclusion.

Responding to the rise of adult male self injury within an inpatient setting

Caring for males who engage in self-injurious behaviour is a highly emotive and challenging dimension of mental health nursing. Although a wide range of interventions exist, the prevalence of this behaviour appears to be increasing. Gender variations in this behaviour present the nurse with a distinct set of issues that often require the use of different skills, competencies and personal resources. A lack of understanding of the function of this behaviour further adds to the challenge of delivering effective care. The formulation-driven approach to nursing care for males who self-injure is not a commonly used approach, despite being shown to enhance personalised care delivery and improve the clarity and communications of needs. This article demonstrates how a three-strand project was able to improve the care of males who self-injure. This was achieved through a health awareness campaign to highlight the growing trend of this behaviour while addressing the stigma that surrounds it with the development and delivery of a staff training and skills enhancement workshop, and of an adapted formulation tool to underpin the nurse care planning process.

A construção da integralidade no trabalho cotidiano da equipe saúde da família

Trata-se do recorte de uma tese de doutorado de abordagem qualitativa, delineada pela estratégia de pesquisa Estudo de Casos Múltiplos Holísticos, com objetivo de compreender a construção das práticas de integralidade em saúde no trabalho cotidiano das equipes de Saúde da Família e de gestores de três municípios do Vale do Jequitinhonha-MG. Foram entrevistados 48 trabalhadores das equipes Saúde da Família e de apoio, além dos secretários municipais. Apresenta-se uma das categorias de análise que mostra a importância dada ao trabalho em equipe multiprofissional e o reconhecimento da necessidade do trabalho do outro, isto é, a complementaridade e a interdependência das ações para prestar uma assistência integral e resolutiva. Algumas equipes apresentaram ações interdisciplinares com uso das diferentes habilidades na identificação e resolução dos problemas. Outras convivem com ações individualizadas, mas referem a necessidade de responsabilidade compartilhada nas ações e decisões da equipe para alcançar a integralidade em saúde.

O PROCESSO DE FORMAÇÃO NA ESPECIALIDADE A PARTIR DA EXPERIÊNCIA DO ENFRENTAMENTO DO CONHECIMENTO NOVO

Este estudo propõe uma reflexão teórica, tendo como objetivo: discutir o processo de formação na especialidadea partir da experiência do enfrentamento do conhecimento novo. A especialidade exige o uso de diferentes aptidões,habilidades e talento. Compreender o fenômeno implica em aceitar o trabalho como um espaço de formação profissionalcapaz de construir conhecimento, esquemas de mobilização dos conhecimentos e mecanismos de ação, em face aosignificado individual e coletivo da atuação de enfermagem na especialidade. Portanto, o enfermeiro é a pessoa essencialao processo, já que o seu enfrentamento fará total diferença para a apreensão dos conhecimentos novos e o curso dofenômeno na especialidade. A pessoa precisa se identificar com o trabalho. Quanto maior o significado da atuaçãoprofissional, maior será a satisfação experimentada pelo indivíduo e, consequentemente, maior a possibilidade de ampliaçãoda interdependência, bem como vivência positiva considerando o seu enfrentamento.
