The teaching-learning process must constantly overcome the barriers imposed by rapid scientific and technological advances, as well as changes in the profile of students and access to information. This study intended to analyze the perceptions of students and professors of medical courses about the teaching-learning strategies used in physiology at different Brazilian universities, as well as the factors that influence or hinder the learning of this discipline. There were analyzed questionnaires from 174 students and 16 professors of physiology from medical courses of 20 higher education institutions (public and private) in a southern Brazilian state. The teaching strategies most used by physiology teachers coincided with the classroom activities that students consider to have the greatest contribution to their learning (expository classes/lectures, tests and questionnaires, problem-based learning/clinical case studies and demonstrative/practical classes). It was also evidenced that teachers' didactic is considered as a very influencing factor for the students during their learning process, while the teachers pointed out daily pedagogical practice as the most relevant factor in the development of their skills within the classroom. Besides, some factors hindering the teaching-learning process of physiology were identified by the respondents, such as: large amount of information, little time for study outside the classroom, previous knowledge and intrinsic difficult of the discipline. Finally, students tend to study alone and generally used teachers' slides and their own notes as study materials. The continuous assessment of the perceptions, needs and difficulties of students and teachers plays an essential role improving the teaching-learning process.

The use of varied learning models by history teachers will facilitate teachers and students in implementing and following the learning process. This study aims to determine the learning process and the use of learning models used by history teachers. This study uses a qualitative methodology with an observation and interview approach conducted at two high schools, Dian Didaktika High School and SMA Negeri 2 Depok. From the results of the study it can be seen, that the history teacher at the two schools has carried out the learning process using a scientific approach. There is no difference in the selection of learning strategies, both of them use the contextual teaching learning model. The difference between the two is in the selection of learning methods, where the history teacher Dian Didaktika uses the method of learning project base learning and the history teacher of SMA Negeri 2 Depok uses a method of learning outside the classroom by visiting museums.

Learning strategies are the key tools to determine the approach for achieving the learning goal. They are included in different phases of teaching learning process. They are usually tied to the needs and interests of students to enhance their learning efficiency. This article aims at exploring perspectives and practices of learning strategies in learning English language. For this, phenomenological descriptive qualitative research was conducted with a class of 48 students of Bachelor in Education at a constituent campus, under Tribhuvan University, Nepal. Both the class of the students and campus were selected purposively to meet the requirement of phenomenological study. Thirty classes were observed as a participant as well as teacher and from the same group of the students only ten students were interviewed. Then, the data from both the sources were triangulated, interpreted and analyzed descriptively. From this study, it was interpreted that students employed various strategies to learn different language skills and aspects. The study revealed that students felt difficulty in selecting proper learning strategy for learning grammatical rules due to many exceptional cases and listening skill due to their less time devotion on it while the felt ease to select and employ proper strategies in learning vocabulary.

This chapter examines the notion of videogames as a resource for teaching practice. Games are often used as teaching tools, but not often used as resources for informing pedagogical practice. Media Molecule’s game, Little Big Planet (LBP) for the Playstation 3, is a constructivist game with a niche online community of practice known as LBP Central. The game, along with the community, exemplifies multiple learning strategies in a constructivist environment, lending itself as a potentially powerful resource for studying constructivist teaching/learning strategies. In this chapter, the authors look closely at a community assessment and knowledge sharing strategy known as the “creator spotlight” and, based on the premise that art classrooms tend to be more constructivist by nature than other subject areas and because LBP has strong links to visual art, they suggest ways in which this process could be explored and applied with secondary visual arts students within a constructivist learning environment.

The purpose of this text is to identify the main strategies of the teaching-learning process, as well as the perceptions of professors during the period of social isolation in the context of the pandemic generated by Covid-19. The study sample consists of 52 professors from the Administration, Accounting, and Economic Sciences courses, working in four higher education institutions in the southern region of Brazil. The survey carried out through a questionnaire comprising 32 questions, collected the respondents' identification, the perceptions of the teaching process, and the teaching-learning strategies used from the insertion of classes remotely as an alternative in the social isolation period. As data treatment, descriptive statistics, and the Mann-Whitney statistical test were used, the analysis is quantitative. The results show that, for 96% of those surveyed, the disciplines took place remotely; 92% indicate pedagogical adaptations, and 76% responded that the institution offered training. The main teaching strategies used in the period of social isolation are: expository classes with the presentation of content on slides (98%); exercises with resolution (90%); case study (69%); and content-oriented research/reading (52%). The statistical analysis shows that professors who used problematization/teaching cases, debates, and games believe they have achieved the teaching-learning objectives. In the perception of 54% of professors, classes held remotely do not represent losses in students' teaching-learning process and have achieved their objectives. In general, the results demonstrate adaptation of face-to-face classes to the remote format. The findings suggest the importance of inserting technologies as teaching strategies, regardless of whether the model is face-to-face or not.

The evaluation process is complex and extremely important in the teaching/learning process. Evaluations are constantly employed in the classroom to assist students in the learning process and to help teachers improve the teaching process. The use of active methodologies encourages students to participate in the learning process, encourages interaction with their peers, and stimulates thinking about physiological mechanisms. This study examined the performance of medical students on physiology over four semesters with and without active engagement methodologies. Four activities were used: a puzzle, a board game, a debate, and a video. The results show that engaging in activities with active methodologies before a physiology cognitive monitoring test significantly improved student performance compared with not performing the activities. We integrate the use of these methodologies with classic lectures, and this integration appears to improve the teaching/learning process in the discipline of physiology and improves the integration of physiology with cardiology and neurology. In addition, students enjoy the activities and perform better on their evaluations when they use them.
