A comparative study of two small group teaching methods - tutorials and seminar - as a supplement to lecture classes for 1st year MBBS students

Background: Medical schools in India are changing their educational programs and teaching strategies to ensure that students have active responsibility for their learning process and are prepared for lifelong, self-directed learning. Small group teaching (SGT) is one such tool which helps to make learning process student-centered. In this study, we have assessed the effectiveness of SGTs as a supplement to didactic lecture (DL). Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of tutorials versus seminar as a supplement to lecture class. Materials and Methods: In Department of Physiology, SVIMS, Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women, a DL class on a topic was taken for 150 1st year MBBS students which were followed by tutorials for one half of students and seminar for other half of students on the same topic. It was done for two topics. An assessment was done each at the end of DL, tutorials, and seminar. Students were also asked to fill a feedback questionnaire about the SGTs on a Likert scale. Results: Tutorials showed statistically significant increase in scores in both the topics (6.955 ± 1.83, P = –0.012 and 6.65 ± 1.78, P = 0.006) whereas seminar showed statistically significant increase in only the first topic as compared to DL (6.84 ± 1.77, P = 0.013 and 6.27 ± 2.09, P = 0.25). There was no significant difference in scores between tutorials and seminar. Likert scale showed positive feedback about SGTs and students wanted more such sessions. Conclusions: Since there was a positive response from students regarding SGTs as a supplement to DL, we would like to adopt a mixed approach with SGT as a component of the overall course to ensure knowledge acquisition and retention by the students.

Puntualizaciones sobre el diálogo de Lacan con Lévi-Strauss en los seminarios 9 y 10 / Clarifications on the dialogue of Lacan with Levi-Strauss in seminaries 9 y 10

Si bien se reconoce que Jacques Lacan se inspiró en algunas elaboraciones teóricas de Claude Lévi-Strauss en los comienzos de su enseñanza respecto a la formulación y precisión del registro simbólico, aún en períodos avanzados continúa teniendo por referencia la obra del etnólogo. En los Seminarios 9, "La identificación" (1961-62) y 10, La Angustia (1962-63), recomienda la lectura de dos libros de Lévi-Strauss publicados en 1962 manteniendo una suerte de diálogo con lo que en ellos se expone y afirmando que tienen relación con su propio desarrollo. Con la propuesta de despejar cuál es el interés para el psicoanálisis de las elaboraciones de los textos El totemismo en la actualidad y El pensamiento salvaje, publicados ambos en 1962, este trabajo se centra en algunos de los aspectos expuestos en los mismos y su posible relación con las formulaciones de Lacan en los Seminarios 9 y 10.

While recognizing that Jacques Lacan was inspired by some theoretical elaborations of Claude Levi-Strauss in the beginning of his teaching concerning the formulation and symbolic register accuracy, even in advanced periods by reference continues the work of the ethnologist. In Seminaries 9 Identification (1961-62) and 10 Anguish (1962-1963), recommends reading two books by Levi-Strauss published in 1962 maintaining a kind of dialogue with them so exposed and affirming that relate to their own development. The proposal to clear what interest for psychoanalysis of working texts currently Totemism and The Savage Mind, both published in 1962, this paper focuses on some of the points covered in them and their possible relationship with the formulations of Lacan in Seminar 9 and 10.

Survey on Customer Satisfaction for Evaluation and Improvement of Physical Assessment Practical Training Seminar for Pharmacists / 社会薬学

<p>In the areas of home medical care and self-medication, the role of the pharmacist is growing, partly as a result of Japan’s aging society and the need to reduce medical costs. In response, the Kinki University Faculty of Pharmacy implemented a physical assessment practical training seminar in order to improve the physical assessment skills of practicing pharmacists. A series of questionnaires were conducted among pharmacists to investigate their perceptions of physical assessment practical training seminars. The results of the questionnaires were analyzed using Customer Satisfaction (CS) analysis and text mining. Based on a 5-point scale (1-low∼5-high), questionnaires revealed satisfaction for physical assessment practical training seminars was 4.6±0.6 (Ave.±S.D.). CS analysis revealed that the items “lectures” and “case seminars” had the highest level of satisfaction. However, items showing low levels of satisfaction were “auscultation of respiratory sounds” and “SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation).” Results of text mining suggested a relationship between “physical assessment” and “difficult”. Analysis of the questionnaires showed a high level satisfaction with physical assessment practical training seminars, notably physical assessment practice methods. However, CS analysis and text mining indicate the finer techniques of physical assessment were difficult to acquire.</p>

Medical Students’ Opinion of a Web-based Module to Teach Clinical Reasoning and Knowledge / General Medicine

<b>Background: </b>Japanese medical student education lacks emphasis on teaching clinical reasoning skills. To partially remedy this situation, we developed a prototypic web-based module for tutors to teach clinical reasoning. We report the medical students’ opinions of this module.<br><b>Methods: </b>Twenty-four students from two Japanese medical universities were randomly assigned to the two tutored virtual classrooms, each classroom with six students, or to the self-study group, 12 students, after taking the Internet-based Sequential Question and Answer pretest. After four weeks, each of the 24 students took the Sequential Question and Answer posttest. The entire 24 students answered a questionnaire about the Sequential Question and Answer tests; all 12 tutored students answered a questionnaire about the web-based tutored module.<br><b>Results: </b>Although both tutored and self-study Sequential Question and Answer posttest scores increased, the increases of the tutored group’s posttest compared to the self-study posttest group were not statistically significant (p = 0.066). Ninety-two percent of the students rated the Sequential Question and Answer tests as an improved way to learn case presentation and clinical reasoning. Moreover, 79% of students felt that the Sequential Question and Answer tests were an effective way to learn clinical information. The tutored students rated the web-based tutored seminars as an ‘excellent to fair’ method to learn clinical reasoning using a five-point ‘excellent to poor’ scale.<br><b>Conclusions: </b>We developed a prototypic web-based module for tutors to teach clinical reasoning to medical students. The students’ opinion supported the modular components of the web-based seminar format, Sequential Question and Answer test, and the tutoring syllabus as an effective way to improve learning clinical reasoning, case presentation, and medical information.

Gênero e tendências contemporâneas: uma análise do Seminário Internacional "Desfazendo Gênero" / Gender and contemporary trends: an analysis of the international seminar "Undoing gender"

Este trabalho objetiva analisar como vem se dando, contemporaneamente, a discussão sobre a categoria gênero. Para tanto, buscou-se fazer uma análise das produções publicadas nos anais do Seminário Internacional Desfazendo Gênero, realizado em 2013 em Natal (RN). Esse evento objetivou discutir a categoria gênero e, como próprio nome sugere, "desconstruir/desfazer o gênero". Ou seja, percebe-se a influência da Teoria Queer na concepção do encontro a partir do próprio título. O critério estabelecido para a escolha da amostra foi priorizar comunicações orais em que contivesse a palavra "gênero" em seu título, tendo em vista que é o foco da nossa discussão. Foram analisados 51 trabalhos e verificou-se a predominância de análises ligadas à Teoria Queer. Nesses estudos, baseados em perspectivas subjetivistas, há, a nosso ver, uma valorização excessiva do discurso, incentivando o individualismo e a superficialidade, favorecendo, portanto, a ordem do capital.

This study aims to examine how the discussion about gender category has been going on currently. For that, we seek to analyze the published productions in the annals of the International Seminar "Undoing Gender", held in 2013, in Natal (RN), because it is an event which discusses the gender category and as the event's name suggests, the proposal is "deconstruct / undo the genre", that is, we see the influence of queer theory since event the title. The criterion for choosing sample was oral communications that contained the word gender in its title, considering that this is the focus of our discussion. It analyzed 51 works and it found the prevalence of analyzes related to queer theory. In these studies, that are based on subjectivist perspectives, there is, in our view, an excessive appreciation of speech, encouraging individualism and superficiality, favoring therefore the order of the capital.
