Although the Academic Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of the University of Glasgow came into being with the establishment of a Chair only in 1977, the subject had been taught to medical undergraduates since the early 60s. This was possible, even without a formal academic base, because of the long-established Scottish tradition that NHS consultants and their junior medical staff accept as a matter of course, and usually as something of a privilege, to participate in the teaching of medical students. As the Department of Child and Family Psychiatry was based in the main paediatric teaching hospital at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, it was a natural development that this should also be the location for the teaching of the specialty, and throughout its development in Glasgow this course has been a part of the final year block placement of undergraduates for instruction in child health and paediatrics. Over the years there has also been some participation in the lecture course in general psychiatry which takes place in the fourth year of undergraduate study.

Este artigo apresenta reflexão resultante da pesquisa sobre grupos de pesquisa dedicados ao tema da escolarização de crianças crônica ou gravemente enfermas. Mais do que um levantamento de base quantitativa, o objetivo central foi o de apresentar um questionamento à estrutura universitária brasileira quanto ao lugar da questão no âmbito do tripé ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Foram considerados aspectos históricos para possibilitar compreender a presença do tema na tradição da educação especial brasileira. Foram abordados autores, obras e categorias analíticas que têm configurado as redes e repertórios acadêmicos desse campo. O quadriênio de avaliação da CAPES foi utilizado como critério para levantar grupos de pesquisa no CNPQ e a abrangência foi nacional, uma vez que as plataformas de busca das agências de fomento à pesquisa serviram de base para obtenção de dados. As referências ao ensino de graduação e a projetos de extensão se restringiram ao Estado de São Paulo, considerando a inviabilidade de obter dados nacionais a respeito, nos limites de um único artigo. A análise demonstrou onde, o quê e quem produziu a respeito entre 2013 e 2016. Nas considerações finais a fragmentação universitária sobre o objeto foi abordada e a predominância de dados de pesquisa sobre dados relacionados à presença do tema nos universos da formação de professores e dos projetos de extensão foi analisada.Palavras-chave: escolarização; crianças enfermas; pesquisa; universidade.THE SCHOOLING OF CHRONICALLY OR SEVERELY ILL CHILDREN: (in)visibilities.AbstractThis article presents reflection resulting from research on groups dedicated to the theme of schooling of chronically or severely ill children. More than a quantitative basis survey, the main objective was to present a question to the Brazilian university structure as to the place of the issue within the tripod teaching, research and extension. Historical aspects were considered to make it possible to understand the presence of the theme in the tradition of Brazilian special education. Authors, works and analytical categories that have shaped the networks and academic repertoires of this field were approached. The CAPES evaluation quadrennium was used as a criterion to raise research groups at CNPq and the scope was national, since the search platforms of the research funding agencies were the basis for data collection. References to undergraduate education and extension projects were restricted to the State of São Paulo, considering the impossibility of obtaining national data on the subject, within the limits of a single article. The analysis showed where, what and who produced about it between 2013 and 2016. In the final considerations the university fragmentation about the object was addressed and the predominance of research data on data related to the presence of the theme in the universes of teacher education and extension projects was analyzed.Keywords: schooling; sick children; research; university.LA ESCOLARIDAD DE LOS NIÑOS CON ENFERMEDADES CRÓNICAS O SEVERAS: (in)visibilidades.ResumenEste artículo presenta una reflexión resultante de la investigación sobre grupos de investigación dedicados al tema de la escolarización de niños con enfermedades crónicas o graves.

The article proposes a model for forecasting the success of student’s learning. The model is a Markov process with continuous time, such as the process of “death and reproduction”. As the parameters of the process, the intensities of the processes of obtaining and assimilating information are offered, and the intensity of the process of assimilating information takes into account the attitude of the student to the subject being studied. As a result of applying the model, it is possible for each student to determine the probability of a given formation of ownership of the material being studied in the near future. Thus, in the presence of an automated information system of the university, the implementation of the model is an element of the decision support system by all participants in the educational process. The examples given in the article are the results of an experiment conducted at the Institute of Space and Information Technologies of Siberian Federal University under conditions of blended learning, that is, under conditions when classroom work is accompanied by independent work with electronic resources.

Background: This research was birthed in 2017 during a trip to Lusaka, Zambia, with the purpose of offering fourth-year, medical students attending the University of Zambia, School of Medicine, lectures on psychology topics as part of their clinical studies.  Students were also offered brief therapy sessions where they could process thoughts and feelings causing them internal struggles.  The subject of offering counseling on a regular basis was randomly discussed with the students.  From these discussions the need for this research became evident, with the intent of becoming the launching pad to brainstorm the most effective ways of developing a plan to offer counseling services for all medical students attending the University of Zambia School of Medicine. Methods: An-experimental research design, consisting of completion of a 12-item questionnaire administered by paper and pen. The inclusion criteria were the fourth year, medical students attending the University of Zambia, School of Medicine. Results:  The student responses revealed that most of them had little to no experience with counseling services, but a strong desire for them. Discussion: The goal of this study was to simply establish a need for an on-campus counseling service, the need of which has been established by the very students who would benefit.  With the acceptance of this need, the future plan is to explore the different ways in which this need can be fulfilled with minimal costs to the Medical School Program. Conclusion:  This study is the first step towards identifying the needs of the medical students and sets the ground-work for further research into the specific areas of need and mental health challenges.  More specificity in the area of demographics of students will produce a more comprehensive picture of the areas of concentration for the therapists offering services.

To assess the progressive teaching practicums included in an English Teaching Programme at a Chilean university, 60 former student-teachers answered a questionnaire with both Likert-scale and open-ended questions. The issues assessed included the relationship between the progressive teaching practicums and the curriculum’s modules and sequence, and the skills developed while implementing innovation projects during the student-teachers’ two final practicums. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses allowed us to identify both strengths and weaknesses. The participants highlighted strengths in the areas of teaching strategies, critical thinking skills and professional and pedagogical knowledge. Among the weaknesses, they identified limited supervision and feedback, and diverging views on teaching education between the university and the schools as the most difficult to deal with. These findings may be useful for introducing improvements in Initial Teacher Education aimed at reducing problems and discrepancies and devising suitable induction processes.

Hendrik Draye, opponent of the carrying out of the death penaltyIn this annotated and extensively contextualised source edition, Luc Vandeweyer deals with the period of repression after the Second World War. In June 1948, after the execution of two hundred collaboration-suspects in Belgium, the relatively young linguistics professor at the Catholic University of Leuven, Hendrik Draye, proposed, on humanitarian grounds, a Manifesto against the carrying out of the death penalty. Some colleagues, as well as some influential personalities outside the university, reacted positively; some colleagues were rather hesitant; most of them rejected the text. In the end, the initiative foundered because of the emphatic dissuasion by the head of university, who wanted to protect his university and, arguably, the young professor Draeye. The general public’s demand for revenge had not yet abated by then; moreover, the unstable government at that time planned a reorientation of the penal policy, which made a polarization undesirable. Nevertheless, Luc Vandeweyer concludes, "the opportunity for an important debate on the subject had been missed".

One of the ways in which Jews and others have sought somehow to assimilate the knowledge of the Nazi Holocaust has been through the theatrical expression of the appalling dilemmas it posed. Implicitly or explicitly, however, the process of ‘shaping’ that this involves forces an attitude to be taken by the dramatist towards the meaning of ‘choice’ in such circumstances, and the ‘acceptable’ price of possible survival. In his anthology The Theatre of the Holocaust (1982), Robert Skloot assembled four plays which exemplified the possible ‘attitudes to survival’, and here he relates them to the ideas of Bruno Bettelheim, Terrence Des Pres, and other writers on the subject, in an attempt to assess how fully and honestly theatre is able to reflect the issues involved. Robert Skloot is Professor of Theatre and Drama at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and was Fulbright Lecturer in Israel in 1980–81. He has also edited a collection of essays, ‘The Darkness We Carry’: the Drama of the Holocaust, due for publication in the spring of 1988.
