ABSTRACT The approval of the More Doctors Program has triggered a number of readjustments of the National Curricular Guidelines (DCNs) for Medical Education, like the creation of a mental health internship integrated into the health service and community. Due to this demand, the higher education institutions have been encouraged to innovate in their teaching-learning methodologies in order to guarantee a generalist, humanistic and critical professional education. We report the experience of a private higher education institution in the implementation of a mental health internship in consonance with the new DCNs. We present all the steps of the implementation, reporting the participation of students, supervisors, preceptors and managers. We show that a mental health internship linked to different levels of healthcare promotes learning conditions capable of favoring the decentralization of care and application of the community/family approach.

A inatividade física é uns dos principais fatores de risco para desenvolvimento de complicações cardiovasculares, respiratórias e alterações degenerativas que se desenvolvem ao decorrer da vida e manifestam-se geralmente na fase de envelhecimento. Sendo assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar o nível de atividade física de acadêmicos jovens de fisioterapia de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Privada no município de Fortaleza/CE. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 91 estudantes. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado o IPAQ – questionário internacional de atividade física. Os dados foram analisados a partir da estatística descritiva e inferencial através do software estatístico Microsoft Office Excel 2013. A amostra apresentou idade média de 23,85 ± 2,05 anos, predominantemente do gênero feminino, representando 76,92% (n = 70) e 54,94% (n = 50) dos alunos consideram-se pardos. A classificação do nível de atividade física como sedentário foi igual a 13,19% da amostra e muito ativo foi de 5,50%, havendo maior prevalência de indivíduos insuficientemente ativos (70,33%). Conclui-se que os acadêmicos não praticam nenhuma atividade física e/ ou não seguem as recomendações de tempo gasto em atividades moderadas e intensas e que um número pequeno de indivíduos ativos é insuficientemente ativo. Com isso, uma mudança nos hábitos em relação a prática regular de atividade física deve ser implementada para prevenir doenças que se manifestam ao longo da vida LEVEL OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OF YOUNG PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS FROM A PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION IN FORTALEZA, CEARÁPhysical inactivity is one of the major risk factors for developing cardiovascular and respiratory complications as well as degenerative changes that usually manifest in the aging phase. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the physical activity level of young physiotherapy students from a Private Higher Education Institution in Fortaleza/CE. This is a cross-sectional study with 91 students. For data collection we used the IPAQ – international questionnaire of physical activity. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using the statistical software Microsoft Office Excel 2013. The sample had a mean age of 23.85 ± 2.05 years, predominantly female, representing 76.92% (n = 70) and 54.94% (n = 50) of the students consider themselves brown. Physical activity level was classified as sedentary to 13.19% and highly active to 5.50%, with a higher prevalence of insufficiently active individuals (70.33%). It is concluded that the students do not practice any physical activity and/ or do not follow the recommendations of time spent in moderate and intense activities and that a small number of active individuals is insufficiently active. Therefore, a change in habits in relation to the regular practice of physical activity should be implemented to prevent diseases that manifest throughout life.

Outcome Based Education

Purpose – Given the importance of quality assurance and enhancement of curriculum in a higher education institution, it is vital to have a systematic process to measure students’ performance objectively and effectively for continuous improvement in the programme/curriculum. The purpose of this study is to analyse the process of setting up an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) system in a business school of a private higher education institution in Malaysia. The importance and challenges of the OBE system are discussed, while some recommendations for common issues are suggested. Methodology – Document analyses and observations were conducted on ten undergraduate programmes in the business school of a private higher education institution, from 2015 to 2019. These mechanisms are to assess and discuss the processes needed in implementing OBE; while the importance and challenges of having an OBE system in the business school are included. Findings – To have a smooth-running process of implementing an OBE system, proper planning needs to be in place. Data from the OBE system and its utilisation are essential to ensure continuous quality improvement to the curriculum and to give assurance to relevant stakeholders about the quality of graduates. There are several steps that are discussed in this paper to give pointers and guidance to other education institutions in setting up of the OBE process. However, it is undeniable that investment of time and effort is needed to ensure the smooth-running of the OBE establishment and maintenance. Significance – This study is essential to provide a guideline to relevant parties in setting up an OBE system in education institutions. An OBE system is needed to measure students’ performance objectively and effectively while enriching students’ learning experiences. This study will give pointers to the management of the education institution, policy makers, accrediting bodies and academics on implementing an OBE system in the education institutions.

Purpose Teaching and learning are being transformed by digital technology, where the present generation of students, termed millennials, are more adept with the increasingly digitalised world we live in. Following this, lecturers and institutions are adapting and adopting a blended learning model across disciplines, which now commands an entire domain of research and application. However, questions remain about how ready students are for a blended learning model of instruction. The purpose of this study is to investigate students’ readiness for blended learning in a leading Malaysian private higher education institution. Design/methodology/approach This study used a non-experimental quantitative research design. Data were gathered from a sample of 274 pre-university and undergraduate students using the blended learning readiness engagement questionnaire. Data was analysed using WINSTEPS Rasch model measurement software to determine the validity and reliability of the instrument. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) scores, (logit) value of the item and (logit) value of a person was used to examine students’ readiness for a blended learning model of instruction and specifically assess their readiness based on gender, age, ethnicity and field of study. Findings Findings indicate that students were ready for blended learning. Further analysis indicated there were differences in students’ readiness for blended learning based on gender, age, ethnicity and field of study. Originality/value This study provides insight into students’ readiness towards blended learning in a leading Malaysian private higher education institution, discusses implications for blended learning practices and offers recommendations for future research.
