ABSTRACT
@#<strong>BACKGROUND</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">The capability of nurse educators to teach and practice quality improvement (QI) is crucial in assisting students in their transition to becoming professionals. Understanding the strengths and limitations of nurse educators on QI can be a logical start to determine if they can keep up with the expectations.</p><strong>OBJECTIVES</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">This paper aimed to determine the nurse educators' knowledge, preparation, application, and participation in QI, as well as the differences when grouped according to years of teaching and BSN degree completion.</p><strong>METHODS</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">A descriptive correlational design was utilized involving nurse educators from six nursing schools in Baguio City, Philippines. Only full-time nurse educators with official teaching load during the data gathering, regardless of academic background and position, were eligible. Faculty members who were on leave were excluded. A self-made tool (CVI 0.90, Cronbach's alpha 0.90) was used to gather data. Unpaired t-tests and ANOVA were used to determine the significant differences in the scores. Multiple regression was utilized to compute the relationship between knowledge, preparation, and participation in applying QI.</p><strong>RESULTS</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">104 nurse educators responded. Results show that they are knowledgeable (x̄= 15.82; SD = 0.11), somewhat prepared (x̄= 2.93; SD = 0.08), and participated reasonably well (x̄= 2.77; SD = 0.11) on QI. Higher scores were given to the application of QI in the nursing courses (x̄= 2.44; SD = 0.08) and teaching-learning strategies (x̄= 0.83; SD = 0.07), compared with its application in improving Self as educators (x̄= 2.30; SD = 0.11), and improving student's learning outcomes (x̄= 2.13; SD = 0.11). Scores of nurse educators with more than ten years of teaching experience significantly differed in the extent of knowledge, application in teaching-learning strategies, and application of QI tools to improve Self and participation compared to those with less teaching experience. The scores did not significantly vary when grouped according to BSN degree completion. A positive relationship was observed between preparation and the application of QI tools to improve Self (p = 0.00). Data also showed a positive relationship between participation with application in nursing courses (p = 0.00), application of QI tools to improve Self (p = 0.00), and student learning outcomes. (p = 0.00).</p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong><p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">The results of this study are encouraging and show the potential of nurse educators to apply quality improvement in the nursing curriculum. The adept use of technological tools in producing QI projects can augment the strength of nurse educators in meeting patient-centered care. Teaching experience can contribute to a better grasp of the concepts and maximum integration of quality improvement in nursing students' learning. Identifying, mobilizing, and supporting QI champions to spearhead the mentoring of new faculty members on QI may be a viable strategy to sustain a culture that values quality improvement. It further calls for the attention of educational institutions to develop policies to inform nurse educators in applying QI concepts.</p>

ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective This study aimed to describe the social representations constructed by the educational community about educational psychology and the educational psychologist in the school context. Method We used a qualitative methodology with a hermeneutical approach, with a total of 34 participants (principals, teachers, psychologists, students, and parents) from eight private schools in the city of Ibagué, Colombia. Data were collected through focus groups and semistructured interviews. Results Thematic network analysis was used to analyze the data, resulting in three global themes that illustrate the main social representations. The results indicate that differentiation from clinical psychology and school counseling are points of reference for identifying educational psychology as an applied discipline and understanding the role of the educational psychologist in schools. Conclusion It is argued that representations and practices related to traditional roles are being transformed towards institutional and contextual practices.

This text discusses the Critical Collaborative Research known in Brazil as PCCol Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração - which is a practical-theoretical approach used in the development of investigations that focus on understanding and often challenging knowledge production and actions so as to promote de organization of decolonial-and-inclusive schools. Standing on Marxian, Vygotskian and Freirean underpinnings, the text was written from the recordings of two classes delivered by the authors in a Graduate Course called Critical Research Methodologies, with participation of some guest professors, such as Maria Cecilia Camargo Magalhães, who also authors this paper. The text is organized from the speeches of the authors on two occasions in which they collaboratively delivered lessons about PCCol, as well as the questions and interventions from the other course participants. The writing procedure interweaves speeches, treated as data, and their analyses, treated as the actual discussion of some of the concepts that base the Research Methodology itself, and that include relational and transformational agency, the Freirean notion of data production from the South rather than the North, professional practice that is personal and collectively responsive, but more specifically, we will discuss the role played by language for the implementation of collaborative interactions, as well as how this type of language is organized. (AU)

Objetivo: analisar a prática do profissional técnico de enfermagem como educador em uma dimensão técnico-operacional de educação permanente voltado para a doença causada pelo coronavírus do tipo 2 (COVID-19). Método: estudo com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com técnicos de enfermagem de uma unidade de terapia intensiva, após aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: Foram entrevistados 20 profissionais, sem ocorrência de recusa por parte dos profissionais estatutários, sendo 83% deles do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 41 anos e, em média, 17 anos de atuação na enfermagem, que precisaram, nesse período crítico, adequarem-se à função de educadores. Conclusão: evidenciou-se que os técnicos de enfermagem tiveram que ressignificar suas práticas em virtude das necessidades específicas inerentes à pandemia. As atividades de treinamento e capacitação profissional tendem a ser conduzidas por enfermeiros e, consequentemente, os técnicos de enfermagem como público-alvo dessas atividades não são tratados como membros integrantes do serviço de educação permanente.
Objective: to examine the practice of professional nursing technicians as educators in a technical-operational dimension of continued professional development focused on the disease caused by type-2 coronavirus (COVID-19). Method: this qualitative study was conducted with nursing technicians at an intensive care unit, after approval by the research ethics committee. Results: 20 nursing technicians were interviewed (with no refusal from statutory personnel), 83% of them female, mean age 41 years and averaging 17 years' experience in Nursing, who had to adapt, in this critical period, to the function of educators. Conclusion: the nursing technicians were found to have to reframe their practice to the specific needs inherent to the pandemic. Professional training and qualification activities tend to be conducted by nurses and, consequently, nursing technicians, as the target public for these activities, are not treated as integral members of the continued professional development service.

ABSTRACT
Este estudo se insere nos campos da psicologia da moralidade e da educação em valores morais, especialmente no que concerne às perspectivas construtivistas. O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar concepções e juízos de educadores sobre a educação em valores morais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual foram realizadas entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas com 14 profissionais de uma escola pública de ensino fundamental. Em relação às concepções dos participantes, foram verificados conteúdos que se aproximam das posições relativistas. Ademais, grande parte considera que a família é a principal responsável pela formação moral. Na escola não havia projeto específico de educação em valores morais, e a maioria dos participantes afirmou que não se sente apta para conduzir práticas com esse foco. A partir dos resultados, ponderamos que a concepção dos profissionais sobre moral, ética e educação em valores morais parece influenciar a forma como concebem o papel da escola na formação moral dos alunos. Assim, tais resultados indicam que é necessário propor aos educadores, por meio da formação continuada, reflexões sobre tais assuntos, possibilitando mudanças em suas concepções. Partimos do pressuposto de que a referida formação pode contribuir para motivar os profissionais a se envolverem em práticas de educação em valores morais.
This study falls within the fields of psychology of morality and education in moral values, especially regarding the constructivist perspectives. Our aim was to verify the conceptions and judgments of educators about education in moral values. In this qualitative study, we conducted individual semi-structured interviews with 14 professionals from a municipal public primary school. Regarding the participants' conceptions, we found content that draws near relativistic positions. In addition, most of them consider that family is the main responsible for moral formation. In school, there was no specific project of education in moral values, and most of the participants stated that they did not feel able to carry out practices that have this focus. Steaming from the results, we ponder that the professionals' conception of moral, ethics and education in moral values seems to influence the way they regard the role of school in the moral formation of students. Thus, these results indicate that it is necessary to propose to educators, through continuing education, reflections on such subjects, enabling changes in their conceptions. We start from the assumption that this training can contribute to motivate professionals to get involved in educational practices in moral values.

Entonces, estos resultados indican que es necesario proponer a los educadores, por medio de formación continua, reflexiones sobre tales asuntos, para cambiar esas concepciones. Partimos de la suposición de que dicha formación puede contribuir a que los profesionales se involucren en prácticas de educación en valores morales.

ABSTRACT
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused instability in the education system and has compelled higher education institutions (HEIs) to find alternative ways of teaching and learning by making use of the latest online teaching approaches. Aim: The purpose of the study was to explore how COVID-19 could serve as an enabler for the enhancement of online learning and teaching skills for nurse educators at the University of Namibia with specific emphasis on prospects and challenges. Setting: Semi-structured interviews were conducted in English at a public nursing education institution located in the northeast of Namibia. Methods: A qualitative explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was used. Data were collected by means of in-depth semi-structured interviews with 18 nurse educators from the School of Nursing. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Field notes were simultaneously taken to enrich the data. Results: The study revealed three themes: nurse educators' experiences of the use of online learning and teaching skills, COVID-19 as an enabler for enhancing online learning and teaching skills and strategies to sustain online teaching and learning. Conclusion: Internet technology has generated a surge in demand for web-based teaching and learning. The online learning mode was not effectively utilised during the COVID-19 era because of inadequate technological skills on the part of nurse educators. Contribution: These findings can be used by universities to equip students and academic staff with skills to adapt to e-learning as the new modus operandi in learning and teaching in the post-COVID-19 era.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to examine the attitudes of teachers and school professionals towards the inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Jordanian schools. Specifically, the study investigates whether the variables of knowledge and training in ASD, educational role, experience in ASD, academic qualification, gender, age, and school level are associated with educators' attitudes towards the inclusion of students with ASD. The descriptive survey method was conducted to examine educators' attitudes and their correlations with the study variables. An electronic survey was completed by 430 participants who were educators at public and private schools in Jordan (including general and special education teachers), school principals, and counselors. The results of the study evidence that Jordanian educators hold neutral attitudes towards the inclusion of students with ASD in Jordanian schools. Further, the study shows that these attitudes are correlated with training and knowledge in ASD. In contrast, educational role, experience, academic qualification, age, gender, or school level are not associated with educators' attitudes. The implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

Fundamentada na perspectiva da psicologia escolar e educacional crítica, a presente pesquisa, realizada em um município baiano, objetivou conhecer as concepções de educadores e psicólogos sobre o encaminhamento das crianças com queixa escolar para serviços de saúde e investigar as modalidades de atendimento a esse fenômeno. De caráter qualitativo e exploratório, foi realizada uma entrevista semiestruturada, aplicada de forma individual, totalizando 12 participantes, cujas respostas foram organizadas em categorias temáticas relacionadas aos objetivos da pesquisa. Nas entrevistas, prevaleceu a concepção de que questões de ordem educacional e também familiares/sociais justificam os problemas de escolarização das crianças, cujo encaminhamento aos serviços de saúde tem sido a alternativa possível, mas não a ideal para avaliação e intervenção. Espera-se que os referidos achados suscitem novos estudos sobre o tema investigado, especialmente no município em questão, que favoreça o fortalecimento dos pressupostos da psicologia escolar/educacional crítica no meio acadêmico. Ressalta-se ainda a necessidade de fomentar essa discussão de forma intersetorial na rede municipal de educação e saúde, problematizando a compreensão e atendimento às queixas escolares, e que se possam produzir práticas psicológicas e educativas críticas e emancipadoras.
Deemed on the Psychology Schooling and Education perspective, this study was carried out in a city located in Bahia. The Study aimed to understand the conceptions of the Psycologists and Educators about the routing of children with scholar complain to health services and this study also purposed to assess the treatment models related to this phenomenon. From a qualitative and exploratory nature, semi structered interviews were conceded individually with 12 subjects, whose responses were organized into thematical categories related to the objectives of the present research. The data from interviews showed that a comprehension concept about educational and social/family issues justifies the children scholarization problems and the routing to health devices is seen as a possible alternative although this isn't the best evaluation nor intervention. It is expected that the data found here might entail other studies about the problem that was investigated on this paper and it's also expected that this study strenghs the Psychology Schooling and Education assumptions at academic level. It is necessary to emphasize the need to promote this discussion intersectorally in the municipal network, problematizing the understanding and attendance to scholar complain in order to promote, critical and emancipatory pschological practices.

Se espera que estos hallazgos susciten nuevos estudios sobre el tema investigado, especialmente en el municipio en cuestión, que favorezca el fortalecimiento de los presupuestos de la psicología escolar / educativa crítica en el medio académico. Se resalta la necesidad de fomentar esa discusión de forma intersectorial en las escuelas públicas municipales, problematizando la comprensión y atención a las quejas escolares, y que se puedan producir prácticas psicológicas y educativas críticas y emancipadoras.

The primary factor affecting the program implementation was the lack of standardized patient educators. The existing trainers were mainly clinicians or nurses, and the main way of training the educators was to send them to other universities for learning. A majority of respondents (94.68%) think it is necessary to establish and formulate a unified national certification system for standardized patient educators.Conclusion:The development of standardized patient program is unbalanced in China, and the lack of standardized patient educators has become the primary factor restricting the development. In order to make standardized patients a greater role in medical education, we should encourage different types of personnel to join in the standardized patient training team, to clarify the responsibilities of standardized patient educators, to standardize the process of trainers training, and to establish the certification system of standardized patient educators.
ABSTRACT
@#<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Background:</strong> Occupational therapy (OT) academic educators are vital in building the workforce and advancing the profession. With the retirement of senior faculty, hiring of new OT faculty members have increased. There have also been changes in national and global policy guidelines in OT education. These changes have brought forth a compelling need to examine the profile of Filipino OT educators. To this date, there has been no formal analysis of the Philippine OT academic education workforce. A study aiming at understanding this profile is important to inform OT educators, administrators, and policymakers on the development of strategic approaches that may address their needs and help build the capacity of this workforce.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objectives:</strong> We aimed to establish an occupational profile of OT educators in the Philippines and to recommend capacity-building strategies for next-generation Filipino OT educators.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Adaptation Process in Academia Questionnaire. OT educators were recruited through their institutional affiliations.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Results:</strong> Ninety (53%) of the estimated 170 educators participated in the study, representing 16 schools with OT programs in the country. The median age is 26 years, majority female, and single. The academic profile shows that the majority have a bachelor's as their highest educational degree, work part-time, hold the instructor rank, nontenured, and have been in academia for 5+ years. Teaching is the primary role, and >50% of the time is spent on teaching tasks. The most frequently experienced challenges are balancing multiple roles and the need to develop competence in research skills. Most effective institutional resources are the availability of teaching resources and orientation programs. Excellent communication between university management and academic staff and the opportunity to participate in decision-making are perceived to be the most useful relationship support. Productivity in teaching is higher than in research and service.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The current OT academic workforce based on this study is young, in the early career stage, and expected to assume many roles, primarily teaching. They are most challenged in balancing multiple roles and how to advance their academic careers. Institutional resources and relationship supports are available but need to be reinforced and accessed. Strategic initiatives to build capacity include the development of communities of practice, increasing research engagement and productivity, increasing access to professional development programs, and faculty development initiatives.</p>

Resumo Este artigo aborda as concepções de educadoras infantis sobre suas atuações com bebês em creches e sobre o desenvolvimento dos bebês nesses contextos. Parte-se da compreensão de que as concepções orientam as práticas profissionais, sendo fundamental compreendê-las para formular estratégias interventivas que potencializem as ações profissionais em creches. Participaram do estudo cinco professoras de educação infantil de creches públicas, as quais responderam a uma entrevista cujo áudio foi gravado e posteriormente transcrito. As respostas das entrevistas foram avaliadas por meio da análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Os resultados revelaram uma dissonância entre as verbalizações das educadoras e o que postulam teóricos do desenvolvimento e os documentos oficiais que norteiam a Educação Infantil brasileira. Diante do exposto, afirmamos a relevância das formações continuadas e sugerimos que elas englobem o desenvolvimento infantil e as interações educador-criança-ambiente, na direção de potencializar esses aspectos e favorecer os processos interativos.
Résumé Cet article traite des conceptions des enseignantes de maternelle sur leur travail avec les bébés dans les crèches et sur le développement des bébés dans ces contextes. Nous nous basons sur la compréhension que les conceptions guident les pratiques professionnelles, étant essentiel de les comprendre pour formuler des stratégies d'intervention qui valorisent les actions professionnelles dans les crèches. Cinq enseignantes de maternelle de crèches publiques ont participé à l'étude. Elles ont répondu à une interview dont l'audio a été enregistré puis transcrit. Les réponses aux questions ont été évaluées à l'aide de l'analyse de contenu de Bardin. Les résultats ont révélé une dissonance entre les verbalisations des enseignantes et ce que postulent les théoriciens du développement et les documents officiels qui guident l'éducation maternelle au Brésil. Face à ce qui précède, on soutient la pertinence de la formation continue et suggère qu'elle comprenne le développement de l'enfant et les interactions enseignantes-enfant-environnement, afin de valoriser ces aspects et de favoriser les processus interactifs.
Resumen Este artículo aborda las concepciones de educadoras de la primera infancia sobre su trabajo con bebés en las guarderías y sobre el desarrollo de los bebés en estos contextos. Se parte de la comprensión de que las concepciones orientan las prácticas profesionales, y es fundamental comprenderlas para formular estrategias de intervención que potencien la actuación profesional en las guarderías. En el estudio participaron cinco profesoras de educación infantil en guarderías públicas, quienes respondieron a una entrevista cuyo audio fue grabado y luego transcrito. El análisis de las entrevistas se realizó mediante el análisis de contenido de Bardin. Los resultados apuntan a disonancia entre las verbalizaciones de las educadoras y lo que plantean los teóricos del desarrollo y los documentos oficiales que orientan la educación infantil en Brasil. De lo anterior, se afirma la relevancia de la formación continua y se sugiere que esta incluya el desarrollo infantil y las interacciones educador-niño-entorno, en el sentido de potenciar estos aspectos y favorecer los procesos interactivos.
Abstract Based on the understanding that conceptions guide professional practices and considering such understanding essential for the formulation of intervention strategies that enhance professional actions, this article addresses the conceptions of childhood educators regarding their work with infants in daycare centers and the development of infants in these contexts. This study was conducted with data collected by interviews conducted with five teachers working in public daycare centers. The audio was recorded and transcribed, and responses were analyzed using Bardin's content analysis procedures. Our results indicate a dissonance between what is said by educators and what is postulated by both development theorists and official documents guiding Brazilian Early Childhood Education. These findings assert the relevance of continued training, including child development and environments of caregiver-child interactions to enhance these aspects and favor interactive processes.

A inclusão escolar de estudantes com deficiência em escolas regulares depende de políticas públicas, de um ensino de qualidade, além de possuir um caráter relacional, havendo a necessidade de se considerar o outro em sua complexidade. Por ser relacional, a inclusão escolar produz afetos, como o medo e a alegria, e as esferas micro e macroestruturais, num movimento dialético inclusão/exclusão. As ações de profissionais que atuam no contexto escolar podem tensionar essa relação dialética. Este artigo apresenta resultados parciais de pesquisa qualitativa avaliativo-reflexiva que pretendeu detectar os efeitos da inclusão de estudantes com deficiência no cotidiano escolar. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 5 educadoras de uma escola pública regular da cidade de São Paulo, escolhidas intencionalmente. Os resultados das entrevistas foram analisados segundo método de análise de conteúdo. As dificuldades de entrar em contato com os estudantes com deficiência, tendo o medo como afeto central, dificulta a construção de projetos inclusivos e aumenta o sentimento de solidão e impotência dos educadores. As relações de amizade aumentavam a potência de educadores, diminuíam a solidão, permitindo criar projetos de inclusão escolar. Em um momento de desmonte de políticas públicas pró-inclusão, novas pesquisas sobre o tema fazem-se necessárias.
The school inclusion of students with disabilities in regular schools depends on quality public education, in addition to having a relational character, with the need to consider another education in its complexity. School inclusion produces affections, such as fear and joy, and the micro and macro-structural spheres, in a dialectical inclusion/exclusion movement. The professional actions that work in the context cannot strain this dialectical relationship. This article presents partial results of an evaluative-reflexive qualitative research that intends to detect the functions of the inclusion of students with disabilities in the school routine. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 5 teachers from a regular public school in the city of São Paulo, chosen intentionally. The results of the interviews were analyzed according to the analysis method of analysis. The difficulties of getting in touch with students with disabilities, having fear as the central affection, making it difficult to build inclusive projects and increasing the feeling of loneliness and powerlessness of educators. Friendship relationships increase the capacity of educators, reduce loneliness, allowing the creation of school inclusion projects. At a time of pro-inclusion public policies, new discoveries are being made on the subject
