ABSTRACT
In order to improve the students' interest and cultivate their scientific literacy, we tried to combine literature reading with the teaching material content of Experimental Nuclear Medicine. To complete literature interpretation, the students performed intensive reading and overall report, and the teacher made a final review and summary. The novel teaching method could improve the understanding of theoretical knowledge, deepen the recognition of experimental nuclear medicine technology, and expand the scientific view for the students, which are beneficial to cultivate the scientific literacy of the undergraduates.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Studies of museum publics are relatively recent, and studies of child visitors are even more recent. In this paper we summarize the types of exhibition evaluations mentioned in the literature and present an evaluation process for an exhibition about microbiology developed for and with input from 4-to-6-year-old children. As a case study we analyzed an exhibition entitled "The Giant World of Microbes." Audio and video interviews were recorded with child visitors, and the stimulated recall technique was also employed. The data indicate the importance of interactive activities in enhancing child motivation and providing pertinent routes to follow when preparing an exhibition geared toward children.
Resumo Os estudos sobre exibições em museus são relativamente recentes, e estudos sobre crianças visitantes são mais recentes ainda. Este trabalho faz um resumo dos tipos de avaliações de exibição mencionados na literatura e apresenta um processo de avaliação para uma exibição de microbiologia desenvolvida para, e com o auxilio de, crianças entre 4 e 6 anos. Como estudo de caso analisamos uma exibição intitulada "O Mundo Gigante dos Micróbios". Foram gravadas entrevistas de áudio e vídeo com os visitantes mirins, e também se utilizou a técnica de estimulação da memória. Os dados indicam a importância das atividades interativas no fortalecimento da motivação das crianças e oferecem caminhos pertinentes a seguir na elaboração de exibições focadas no público infantil.

El presente trabajo es una reflexión que intenta contribuir a la discusión en torno a la formación en investigación de los profesionales de la Salud, tomando en cuenta dos conceptos: la alfabetización científica y la salud global. Ambos se vinculan a partir de la reflexividad, habilidad necesaria para la formación en investigación de los futuros profesionales de la Salud. De esta manera, el objetivo es: Proponer la alfabetización científica para la formación en investigación de profesionales de la Salud, en el contexto de los desafíos de la salud global. Para esto se cuestiona la formación basada en la enseñanza del método científico o de métodos cualitativos, argumentando el riesgo de tecnificar la investigación. Se valora, a su vez, la contribución de los métodos cualitativos para la formación de los profesionales de la Salud.
The present study is a reflection with the aim of contributing to a discussion on the research training of Healthcare professionals, taking two concepts into consideration: scientific literacy and global health. Both concepts are linked to reflexivity, a necessary skill to the training in research of future Healthcare professionals. Hence, the objective of this study is to propose the development of scientific literacy for education in research for Healthcare professionals, in the context of the challenges of global health. For that purpose, the study questions the training based on teaching the scientific method or qualitative methods, arguing on the risk of making research too technical, while evaluating the contribution of qualitative methods to the training of Healthcare professionals.
O presente trabalho é uma reflexão que procura contribuir para a discussão sobre o treinamento em pesquisa de profissionais de Saúde, levando em consideração dois conceitos: alfabetização científica e saúde global. Ambos estão ligados à reflexividade, habilidade necessária para o treinamento de pesquisa de futuros profissionais de Saúde. Desta forma, o objetivo é: Propor a alfabetização científica para formação em pesquisa de profissionais de Saúde, no contexto dos desafios da saúde global. Para isso, o treinamento baseado no ensino do método científico ou métodos qualitativos é questionado, argumentando o risco de tecnificar a pesquisa. Por sua vez, o contributo dos métodos qualitativos para o treinamento de profissionais de Saúde é avaliado.

It is necessary to refresh our understanding of the academic mission for information retrieval course in the network information era.The correlation between scientific achievements and scientific information and between scientific literacy and information literacy revealed the fact that information retrieval capability is the core of information literacy when the information retrieval course is placed a broader academic background.The connotation of information retrieval was elaborated, which further demonstrates that the academic mission for information retrieval course is to train the information wisdom of undergraduates.
ABSTRACT
Muitos trabalhos demonstram a importância de uma formação de professores que promova a reflexão, mas é preciso levar em conta as particularidades vividas por esses profissionais para proporcionar soluções cocriadas. Neste trabalho apresentamos as primeiras reflexões sobre um projeto voltado à investigação do papel do sociodrama como prática para fomentar a formação de professores que lecionam ciências. A partir das avaliações apresentadas pelos participantes, demonstramos que o sociodrama, como uma prática importante na formação de professores, viabiliza debates para além de uma discussão verbal e se pauta em acontecimentos vividos como forma de incentivo à reflexão dos educadores.
Various studies have pointed out the importance of teachers' training that promotes reflection but, in order to provide co-created solutions, one must take into account the particular experiences of these professionals. This paper presents the first reflections on a project aimed at investigating the role of sociodrama practice fostering the training of science teachers. Based on the evaluations provided by the participants of this project, we demonstrate that sociodrama is an important tool in teachers' training, as it enables debates to develop beyond verbal discussion and it offers experiential guidance that stimulates reflection in the educators.

EducationABSTRACT
The function of physics courses is important for medical students. The physics courses not only teach them knowl-edge of physics, but also train them scientific literacy. Some problems and mistakes were present in the physics courses for medical students in China. In this paper some views are advanced to solve this problems or mistakes. The physics courses in medical colleges must retain its physical characteristic and should diversify in education method.
ABSTRACT
The regular assessment of Brazilian scientific output means that individual university departments need to constantly improve the quantity and quality of their scientific output. A significant proportion of this output involves the work of Masters and Doctoral students, but getting this work published in a suitable journal can often prove to be a challenge. Although students lack of fluency in English is a contributing factor, many of the problems observed have an early origin in the formulation of the research problem and its relevance to current research trends in the international literature. In short, more time needs to be spent in the library and less in the laboratory, and more effort needs to be made in teaching students basic research skills such as the effective use of bibliographic databases like PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus.
