The Canadian Landscape of Genetics and Genomics in Nursing: A Policy Document Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Genetics and genomics (GG) are transforming approaches to healthcare in Canada and around the globe. Canadian nurses must be prepared to integrate GG in their practice, but modest research in this area suggests that Canadian nurses have limited GG competency. Countries that have integrated GG across nursing provided guidance to nurses about the practice implications of GG through regional nursing policy documents. These documents propelled action to integrate GG across nursing. Little is known about the GG content in the nursing policy document infrastructure in Canada. PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the guidance for GG-informed nursing practice as provided by Canadian nursing organizations in official professional documents. METHODS: Qualitative document analysis was used. A hybrid inductive/deductive analysis approach was used to analyze findings within the diffusion of innovation theory framework. RESULTS: There is an overall lack of depth and breadth of Canadian nursing documents that include content related to GG. Of the (n = 37) documents analyzed, four themes were generated including (a) GG guidance in nursing education; (b) regulators' requirements for foundational GG knowledge, (c) Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) as an early catalyst to GG integration; and (d) early adopters in speciality practice. CONCLUSION: There are opportunities to enhance the guidance available to Canadian nurses for the application of GG, through documents of nursing professional associations, nursing education accreditation organizations, and regulatory bodies. Findings suggest oncology and perinatal nurses are the early adopters which is an important consideration in future strategies to implement GG into Canadian nursing.

Development of international nursing standard-based curriculum for North Korean nurses.

BACKGROUND: The types of nursing care and education have been advanced in different ways between South and North Korea during the past 73 years following division of Korea. The contents of the nursing education curriculum in North Korea do not match international standards. In preparation for the unification of the two Koreas, identifying and examining North Korean nursing education are needed. AIM: To develop a curriculum for North Korean nurses to in accordance with the international nursing standards. METHODS: This study consisted of two phases. First, we reviewed the literature, analyzed in-depth interviews with North Korean nurse defectors, and evaluated the contents and scope of nursing education in North Korea. Next, we developed a nursing education curriculum for North Korea through discussion with nursing education experts. RESULTS: The nursing curriculum for North Korean nurses comprised 96 credits (21 credits for fundamental major courses and 75 credits for mandatory major courses) according to the standards of the Korea Institute of Nursing Education and Evaluation. The proposed curriculum I comprised 84.5 credits, with 14.5 credits for major courses and 70 credits for mandatory major courses. Proposed curriculum II considered the capabilities and clinical experiences of North Korean nurses and comprised 52 credits with 6 credits for major courses and 46 credits for mandatory major courses. CONCLUSION: A nursing curriculum was proposed to match the nursing practice competencies of North Korean nurses to international standards. This curriculum can be expected to improve the quality of nursing care in North Korea, facilitate the integration of nursing workforces, and ultimately promote the health of the people during unification. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING POLICY: The nursing curricula proposed in this study could be a significant measure to nurture nursing manpower and contribute to narrowing the nursing gaps between South and North Korea in the process of Korea's unification.

Análise das publicações acadêmicas sobre a Educação Física no Currículo do Estado de São Paulo / Analysis of academic publications on Physical Education in the Curriculum of the State of São Paulo / Análisis de publicaciones académicas sobre Educación Física em el Currículo del Estado de São Paulo

O presente artigo analisa os jogos de força bem como os discursos de legitimação presentes no debate curricular da Educação Física, com foco no currículo do Estado de São Paulo. Para tal fim, realizamos uma revisão sistemática acerca das publicações que tratam da disciplina Educação Física neste programa curricular. As observações realizadas basearam-se nas contribuições de Stephen Ball acerca das políticas curriculares e de Lopes, Macedo e Silva, autores do campo do currículo no Brasil. A pesquisa indica que tais publicações produzem certos regimes de verdades por meio de práticas discursivas contributivas, as favoráveis à aceitação do documento e as desaprovativas, que criticam o currículo oficial. No entanto, em comum, ambas permitem a defesa de um programa curricular comum na área da Educação Física

This article analyzes the games of strength as well as the legitimation discourses present in the curriculum debate of Physical Education, focusing on the curriculum of the State of São Paulo. To this end, we conducted a systematic review about the publications dealing with the assignature of Physical Education in this curriculum. The observations made were based on the contributions of Stephen Ball on curriculum policies and Lopes, Macedo and Silva authors of the field of curriculum in Brazil. The research indicates that such publications produce certain regimes of truths through contributory discursive practices, those favorable to the acceptance of the document and the disaprovatives that criticize the official curriculum. However, in common, both allow the defense of a common curriculum in the of School Physical Education.

O ciclo de políticas e o currículo vivido na educação física em uma escola de referência / The policy cycle and the curriculum living in physical education in a reference school / El ciclo de políticas y el curriculo experimentado en la educación física en una escuela de referencia

O estudo busca descrever e compreender como as políticas curriculares para a Educação Física (EF) da Secretaria de Educação de Pernambuco são acessadas e traduzidas em ações pedagógicas. A aná-lise foi realizada através de uma pesquisa com características etnográ-ficas em uma escola de referência. Para a coleta, foram utilizados um diário de campo, fichas de observação e entrevistas. Os dados foram organizados com análise de conteúdo. Os resultados mostram que as ações curriculares da escola de referência que abrigou a pesquisa são influenciadas pela ideologia da performatividade. Nas aulas de EF, essas ações concorrem com o usufruto da autonomia pedagógica do professor, que abdica das políticas efetivas presentes nos textos curriculares da Secretaria de Educação.

The study seeks to describe and understand how the curriculum policies for Physical Education (PE) of the Pernambuco Department of Education are accessed and translated into pedagogical actions. The analysis was carried out through a research with ethnographic characteristics in a reference school. For collection, a field notes, observation forms and interviews were used. The data were organized with content analysis. The results show that the curricular actions of the reference school that housed the research are influenced by the ideology of performativity. In PE classes, these actions compete with the enjoyment of the pedagogical autonomy of the teacher, who renounces the effective policies present in the curriculum texts of the Department of Education.

#Stayathome #Fiqueemcasa: Opportunities for new governances of public education in Brazil.

It is not possible to predict how we might re-exist/resist while most of our bodies fail to be hospitable to the virus. For now, what seems possible, and potent, is to make strange the solutions we have been putting into practice, while sharing the world and our bodies with this enemy / companion species. This article focuses on some solutions municipal and state education systems in Brazil have produced, in partnership with philanthropic foundations and educational businesses, to answer the demand for #stayathome #fiqueemcasa. Throughout the article, they are understood as the replication of proposals that have been circulating for some time, with the aim of affixing particular meanings to education. The article argues that the pandemic constitutes an opportunity for these networks to further redesign education in economized terms. It also addresses the effects of such redesigns and argues for the recognition of alterity, without which there can be no education.

Three Policies in The Baccalaureate Degree Program and Outcome-Based Education / 医学教育

Educational reforms are required to achieve the "learning outcomes" expected in bachelor degree education programs. In executing reform, three policies of "diploma policy" , "curriculum policy" , and "admission policy" are clearly stated for each institution in order to facilitate integrated operation and practice. For the sake of quality assurance, outcome-based education (OBE), which emphasizes "learning outcomes" , has been introduced to medical education but it has not been adopted by all learning institutions. With the implementation of field-specific evaluations for medical education comes a need for all medical departments and medical colleges to introduce OBE as soon as possible. For this reason, an examination was conducted to find out how to formulate and operate the three policies under OBE.

O debate da política curricular e os sentidos do estágio supervisionado (1996-2006): uma análise a partir da teoria do discurso / The debate about curriculum policy and the meaning of supervised internships (1996-2006): an analysis based on discourse theory

RESUMO: Este artigo trata de uma pesquisa cujo objeto de estudo é o debate da política curricular e os sentidos do estágio supervisionado (1996-2006), considerando demandas, articulação, hegemonia. Formulamos indagações como: quais demandas se hegemonizam nas políticas de currículo? Como os sentidos do estágio são construídos ao longo desse debate? Trabalhamos com a teoria do discurso de Ernesto Laclau defendendo que tal debate é um campo de articulação discursiva. O campo de estudo é a Associação Nacional pela Formação dos Profissionais da Educação (ANFOPE) e o Ministério da Educação/ Conselho Nacional de Educação. Construímos um método de análise com base na teoria do discurso na perspectiva da desconstrução/problematização dos discursos, demonstrando como se opera a sua hegemonização. Os sentidos do estágio supervisionado resultam de práticas articulatórias entre as diferentes demandas produzidas, sob a influência do conflituoso debate em torno do conhecimento/modelos de formação e do currículo.

ABSTRACT: This article describes the results of a research study about Brazil's debate on curriculum and the meaning of supervised internships (1996-2006), considering the concepts of demands, articulations, and hegemony. We have worked with Ernesto Laclau's discourse theory arguing that such a debate represents a discursive articulation field. We formulated questions like "Which demands are hegemonized in curriculum policies?" and "How the meanings of supervised internships are built through this debate?" The field of study is the National Association for Education Professionals Training (ANFOPE) and the Ministry of Education/National Council of Education (MEC/CNE). We created a method of analysis based on discourse theory in order to examine the aforementioned debate through the perspective of questioning/deconstructing discourses to reveal how hegemony operates. We found that the meanings of supervised internship result from articulatory practices between different demands produced during it, under the influence of conflictual debate surrounding knowledge, training models and the curriculum.

A graduação médica e a prática profissional na perspectiva de discentes / Undergraduate medical education and professional practice from a student's perspective

Estudo transversal quantitativo descritivo observacional, realizado com discentes do internato da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade Federal de Goiás. OBJETIVOS: Conhecer a expectativa de prática profissional de discentes do internato e observar possíveis dissonâncias em relação ao perfil do discente preconizado pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais e projeto político-pedagógico da instituição. METODOLOGIA: Foi utilizado um questionário distribuído aos 222 discentes do internato da instituição no ano de 2012. A amostra consta de 190 discentes, que correspondem a 85% do universo de análise. A significância estatística foi calculada pelo Teste do Sinal. RESULTADOS: O perfil sociodemográfico caracteriza discentes com idade média de 23,8 anos, solteiros, sendo que 66% pertencem às classes sociais A e B. O ideal do perfil de prática profissional demonstra que 84% pretendem ser especialistas, 96% desejam cursar residência médica, sendo estatisticamente significante (p = 0,0001), e 70% não pretendem, a priori, trabalhar na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) (p = 0,005). CONCLUSÃO: O estudo demonstra discentes com perfil socioeconômico elevado, que pretendem ser especialistas, cursar residência médica e não veem a ESF como uma meta-fim.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this research is to identify, in terms of professional practice, the ideal internship students in the Medical School of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) and to observe possible dissonances in relation to the graduate profile as advocated by the National Curriculum Guidelines and by the Political Pedagogical Project of this institution. METHODS: In 2012, two hundred and twenty-two medical internship students of the institution received a survey questionnaire. The sample of this research consisted of one hundred and ninety research subjects, representing 85% of the sample universe. The statistical significance was calculated using the Sign Test. RESULTS: The socio-demographic profile characterizes the students with an average age of 23.8 years old, unmarried, 66% of whom belong to social classes A and B. The ideal profile of professional practice shows that 84% want to become specialists, whereas 96% want to engage in medical residency, which is statistically significant (p = 0.0001), and 70% do not intend to work with Family Health Strategy Programs (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION: This study shows that students with high socio-economic profile, who want to become specialists, undergo a medical residency program and do not see the Family Health Strategy as a professional goal.

A performatividade nas políticas de currículo: o caso do ENEM / The performativity in the curriculum policy: the case of ENEM

Este artigo articula os efeitos da globalização com as políticas de currículo e de avaliação. Defendemos, com base em Stephen Ball, a compreensão das políticas de currículo como produção de sentidos e significados para as decisões curriculares em um ciclo contínuo de produção de políticas. Entendemos que uma das dimensões dessas políticas de currículo é a produção de uma cultura da performatividade, expressa, entre outras ações, pelo Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM). Pela investigação de documentos relativos ao ENEM, identificamos que o foco desse exame é a formação do indivíduo onicompetente para a eficiência social do sistema, porém, diferentemente de outras épocas, centrado na autorregulação de suas performances. Além disso, consideramos que a cultura da performatividade influencia dimensões locais da avaliação, com diferentes extensões e modos de avaliar, não necessariamente associados às mesmas finalidades dos exames centralizados.

This paper articulates globalization effects with curriculum policy and evaluation. We argue, based on Stephen Ball, that curriculum policy is a production of meanings to curricular decisions in a continuous policy cycle. We also argue that one of the dimensions of this curriculum policy is the production of the performance-oriented tivity culture. This culture is expressed, for example, in the National Exam of to High School (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio - ENEM). We have identified in the ENEM's documents that the focus of this exam is the development formation of an omnicompetent individual to the system's social efficiency. However, this focus is differs ent at from other times, as because it is centered in the performances self-regulation. Furthermore, the improvement of a performance-oriented tivity culture influences local dimensions of evaluation, with different extensions and ways of evaluation. These local dimensions of evaluation are not necessarily associated to the same centralized exams´ aims.
