ABSTRACT
Digital collaborative storytelling can be supported by an online learning-management system like Moodle, encouraging prosocial behaviors and shared representations. This study investigated children's storytelling and collaborative behaviors during an online storytelling activity throughout the 2020 SARS-CoV-2 home confinement in Spain. From 1st to 5th grade of primary school, one-hundred-sixteen students conducted weekly activities of online storytelling as an extracurricular project of a school in Madrid. Facilitators registered participants' platform use and collaboration. Stories were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using the Bears Family Story Analysis System. Three categories related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic were added to the story content analysis. The results indicate that primary students worked collaboratively in an online environment, with some methodology adaptations to 1st and 2nd grade. Story lengths tended to be reduced with age, while cohesion and story structure showed stable values in all grades. All stories were balanced in positive and negative contents, especially in characters' behavior and relationships, while story problems remained at positive solution levels. In addition, the pandemic theme emerged directly or indirectly in only 15% of the stories. The findings indicate the potential of the online collaborative storytelling activities as a distance-education tool in promoting collaboration and social interactions.
ABSTRACT
Primary health care represents an essential area in relation to health protection: its purposes are, on the one hand, health promotion, on the other hand the possibility to resort only if necessary to hospital care. In the novel National Collective Agreement, new teamwork forms of organization are introduced; for example, the obligatory Territorial Functional Aggregation: an organizational Unit which general practitioners and general paediatricians join to. The article by Scala et al. (see page 17), about an experience of primary health care, focuses the necessity to plan new organizational forms of work for teams oriented to realize efficient and effective answers to population needs: the phases of the activities in équipe are analysed, lingering on lights and shadows of the team.
