ABSTRACTObjective: to show the construction of the knowledge of Nursing, through the research, interrelating it with the social context and attendance to the health. Methodology: as sources of obtaining the data we had used articles of newspapers, books, as well as critical works presented in the Course of Academic Master's degree of ,ad Universities Federal de Pelotas. Texts were analyzed that focused the historical and social context of Nursing in the period from 1981 to 2000. Results: thematic nucleus emerged as "Research in nursing: articulation between theory and practice in the social context" and "Weaving bonds between the assistential nursing and the teaching". Conclusions: in the reflections accomplished in readings, discussions in classroom we evidenced that the construction process and invigoration of Nursing, as profession and science, happened through the research. The knowledge had been built with other sciences, but the construction of the scientific "know” still is a challenge for Nursing in the current society. Descriptores: nursing; nursing research; education.  RESUMOObjetivo: refletir acerca da construção do conhecimento de Enfermagem, inter-relacionando-a com o contexto social e assistência à saúde. Metodologia: como fontes de obtenção dos dados, foram utilizados artigos de periódicos, livros, bem como trabalhos críticos apresentados no Curso de Mestrado Acadêmico da Faculdade de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal de Pelotas. Foram analisados textos que enfocavam o contexto histórico e social da Enfermagem no período de 1981 a 2000. Resultados: emergiram núcleos temáticos, como “Refletindo sobre a pesquisa em enfermagem: articulação entre teoria e prática no contexto social” e “Tecendo vínculos entre a enfermagem assistencial e a docência”. Conclusão: nas reflexões realizadas em leituras e discussões em sala de aula, evidenciamos que o processo de construção e fortalecimento da Enfermagem, como profissão e ciência, ocorreu através da pesquisa. O conhecimento foi sendo construído com outras ciências, mas a construção do “saber” científico ainda é um desafio para a Enfermagem na sociedade atual.

This paper presents the results of a research study, a survey of library and information science master’s degree holders who have taken a beginning cataloging course, to identify the elements of a beginning cataloging course that help students to learn cataloging concepts and skills. The results suggest that cataloging practice (the hands-on creation of bibliographic records or catalog cards), the effectiveness of the instructor, a balance of theory and practice, and placing cataloging in a real-world context contribute to effective learning. However, more research is needed to determine how, and to what the extent, each element should be incorporated into beginning cataloging courses.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand the experiences faced by students during the application process for master's degree programs in speech-language pathology. Method Data were collected through administering an online survey to 365 volunteers who had applied to master's degree programs in speech-language pathology. Survey questions were designed to gain the student perspective of the application process through exploration of students' deciding factors for top choices of graduate programs, emotional involvement in the application process, biases/rumors heard, student challenges, advice to future applicants, and what students would change about the application process. Results Factors that influenced participants' reasoning for selecting their “top choice” programs were largely consistent with previous studies. Issues that shaped the student experience applying to graduate school for speech-language pathology included financial constraints, concern regarding the prominence of metrics such as Graduate Record Examinations scores in the admissions process, a perceived lack of guidance and advising from faculty, and confusion regarding variation among graduate program requirements. Conclusion Gaining insight into the student experience with the application process for graduate programs in speech-language pathology yields useful information from a perspective not frequently explored in prior literature. While the data presented in this study suggest the process is confusing and challenging to many applicants, the discussion highlights practical solutions and sheds light on key issues that should be considered carefully by individual graduate programs as well as the field as a whole.
