El reciclaje: Hecho significativo del valor ambiental desde el entorno educativo y su influencia en la salud / Recycling: a significant fact of environmental value from the educational environment and its influence on health

El reciclaje, la reutilización y la reducción en el consumo, es la demostración más concreta de una toma de conciencia en el ser y su papel protagonista en los procesos transformadores de nuestra realidad como especie. En este sentido, vemos que inculcar conocimientos en el área, desde las más jóvenes generaciones, hasta nuestros ancianos, puede lograr positivos cambios para la salud general, tanto del planeta, como del ser humano, siendo el propósito de la investigación conocer la importancia del reciclaje como un hecho significativo para exaltar el valor ambiental en los estudiantes. En cuanto al apartado epistemo­metodológico, se trabajó bajo el paradigma interpretativo, con un método fenomenológico­hermenéutico, usando la observación participante y la entrevista en profundidad, como técnicas de recolección de información, las cuales se aplicaron a un sujeto informante del aula de 4to año, siendo éste seleccionado por ser el más adecuado para el estudio. La técnica de análisis fue reducciones fenomenológicas a los extractos más importantes de la información, la cual fue proporcionada por el sujeto informante durante la entrevista, donde surgieron las categorías que se desglosaron en un cierre eidético que dio a conocer las ideas de la esencia verdadera del pensamiento del informante, así como también se hizo un giro hermenéutico, el cual logró proporcionar sentido a lo que se expresó en la investigación, como un aporte del investigador para dar visión a todo aquello en lo que se puede ir más allá del proceso investigativo(AU)

Recycling, reuse and reduction in consumption is the most concrete demonstration of an awareness of being and its leading role in the transforming processes of our reality as a species. In this sense, we see that instilling knowledge in the area, from the youngest generations, to our elders, can achieve positive changes for the general health, both of the planet and of the human being, the purpose of the research being to know the importance of recycling as a significant fact to exalt the environmental value in students. As for the epistemological-methodological section, we worked under the interpretive paradigm, with a phenomenological-hermeneutic method, using participant observation and in-depth interview, as information collection techniques, which were applied to an informant subject from the classroom of 4th year, this being selected for being the most suitable for the study. The analysis technique was phenomenological reductions to the most important extracts of the information, which was provided by the informant subject during the interview, where the categories emerged that were broken down into an eidetic closure that revealed the ideas of the true essence of the informant's thought, as well as a hermeneutical turn, which managed to provide meaning to what was expressed in the investigation, as a contribution of the researcher to give vision to everything in which one can go beyond the investigative process(AU)

Practice of Significant Event Analysis as a Vehicle of Remediation for Learners with Recognized Misconducts / 医学教育

Significant event analysis (SEA) is a method of reflecting on the cause of things in a semi-structural manner and utilizing the analysis in the planning of subsequent improvement measures. SEA can be applied to a wide variety of events. In the field of medicine, it is widely used as a tool for promoting patient safety by medical teams in nations such as the United Kingdom. In Japan, the subjects of SEA mainly reflect on their own behavior (reflection) to learn from their experience. Unlike the results of observations done by third parties, the results of self-reflection cannot be denie by the subjects. Therefore, this method is particularly suitable for events in which the actor has been greatly moved emotionally.　The first paper presents an individual SEA method that utilizes individual reflection to improve behavior, the second paper introduces a group SEA method to share lessons learned from individual reflections.

Exploring students' impressions of community medicine clerkship experience by means of significant event analysis / 医学教育

Community medicine clerkships are said to be an important element of current undergraduate medical education. However, little is known about what medical students actually learn from them.Therefore, we performed a study by means of significant event analysis to examine what medical students had learned from 2-week community medicine clerkships.<BR>1) Students in 2006 took part in 2-week community medicine clerkships and then in sessions at the end of their clerkships to review their experiences.<BR>2) The review sessions were recorded, and the students'impressions were extracted and categorized.<BR>3) The depth of their impressions was categorized into 4 depth levels (describing, commenting, generalizing, and planning).<BR>4) Students gave their impressions of the medical system, the role of physicians, patient-centered care, role models, and clinical ethics, and the impressions of most students were at the levels of commenting and generalizing.<BR>5) Medical students learned system-based practice and medical professionalism during their community medicine clerkships, and significant event analysis was a valuable tool for understanding their experiences.
