- Is there still space for pedagogical and technical-scientific creativity in higher education in health technologies?Publication . Tavares, Diana; Mota, Sandra; Amorim, ManuelaAfter pandemic period, it is urgent to create a facilitating means of internal cogitation and to identify creative strategies that can overcome the less positive aspects of distance learning. There is an increasingly constant problem - the lack of motivation and identity in the academic-scientific environment with a lack of proactivity and resistance of interaction with others. It is necessary to work with traditional teaching-learning methodologies and create out of the box grafts that are attractive and productive. This year we will implemented a set of strategies: clinical cases, health literacy training sessions, cultural tools, escape room and others. We will carry out a diagnostic assessment of knowledge, before and after the intervention; as well as an interview that will allow us to understand the personal evolution and the degree of satisfaction. In this phase, the intention is to share the methodological strategies in a constructive and enriching manner.
- Pedagogical and technical-scientific creativity in higher education in health technologies: An action planPublication . Tavares, Diana; Mota, Sandra; Sousa, MariaAfter pandemic period, it is urgent to create a facilitating means of internal cogitation and to identify creative strategies that can overcome the less positive aspects of distance learning. There is an increasingly constant problem—the lack of motivation and identity in the academic-scientific environment with a lack of proactivity and resistance of interaction with others. It is necessary to work with traditional teaching–learning methodologies and create out of the box grafts that are attractive and productive. This year we will implement a set of strategies: clinical cases, health literacy training sessions, cultural tools, escape room and others. We will carry out a diagnostic assessment of knowledge, before and after the intervention; as well as an interview that will allow us to understand the personal evolution and the degree of satisfaction. In this phase, the intention is to share the methodological strategies in a constructive and enriching manner, using creative and active learning methodologies by the teacher.
- The perspectives of current health professionals regarding their interaction with specific technologyPublication . Amorim, Manuela; Mota, Sandra; Tavares, DianaTechnological evolution in healthcare has been continuous. To access the advantages and disadvantages of professional-machine interaction from the user's perspective in health professionals we developed an online questionnaire. A total of 107 responses were obtained from 12 health technologies areas, showing some differences between them. The majority are 5 to 10 years of experience (28.0%). Speed, safety and efficiency stands out as benefits and dehumanization of the care provided and the reduction of jobs as risks. The user's perspective contributes in an elementary way to the current and future industry in the health area, and therefore should not be neglected.
- Students’ perception of self-efficacy and academic engagement in School of Health of the Polytechnic Institute of Porto: an observational studyPublication . Amorim, Manuela; Tavares, Diana; Lamas, MC; Mota, Sandra; Salgado, Ana IsabelThe intense increase in students in Higher Education, observed in recent decades, has promoted profound changes quantitative and qualitative in demand, frequency, and student profile. In the context of these changes, we conducted a study to evaluate the self-efficacy and academic engagement of students using an online questionnaire. It includes some sociodemographic variables and the Self-Efficacy Scale in Higher Education (AEFS) and University Student Engagement Inventory (USEI). It was possible to verify that students had a score for academic engagement above the average, revealing an overall high level of academic engagement, an indicator of student success. Regarding self-efficacy, the score obtained is above 4 (on a scale of 1 to 5), close to 5, in social interaction, which indicates that these students overall have relatively robust self-efficacy beliefs. In all cases, the low values of standard deviation reveal a good degree of agreement between responses.
