A aprendizagem baseada em problemas – PBL, sigla derivada de termo inglês Problem Basic Learning - foi adotada pelo Curso de Medicina da Universidade Estadual do Mato Grosso – UNEMAT desde a sua criação em 2012. Enquanto metodologia ativa de ensino deve ser considerada por todas as Instituições, preocupadas com ensino/aprendizagem baseados em resultados e competências, destacando o desenvolvimento de novas atitudes no corpo docente. Sob esta perspectiva, o presente artigo apresenta os resultados, constantes da análise dos estudantes, de uma pesquisa que está sendo realizada no referido curso, cujo objetivo é conhecer o processo de implantação do PBL. O estudo se constitui em uma pesquisa explicativa de tipologia qualitativa, tendo como participantes 65 estudantes do 2º, 5°, 6º e 7º semestres do curso de Medicina. O instrumento de coleta foi um questionário elaborado por peritagem de dois doutores (um em metodologia e outro em medicina) aplicado no mês de novembro de 2017 e organizado em dez questões, sendo 06 objetivas e 04 abertas, cuja técnica de categorização dos dados foi Análise de Conteúdo. O estudante na maioria recomendaria a metodologia, porque creem que a mesma estimula o conhecimento, torna o estudante mais proativo e responsável, desenvolvendo competências. Considera-se em termos de conclusões da parte dos acadêmicos que a PBL tem se apresentado como uma alternativa possível e apropriada para responder as exigências, visto que o método oportuniza a promoção do pensamento reflexivo, incentiva o trabalho de pesquisa e a investigação cientifica, aproxima o estudante do meio que está inserido.Palavras-chave:  Metodologia Ativa.

Considered  an active teaching methodology, it must be considered by all Institutions, concerned with teaching and learning based on results and competences, highlighting the development of new attitudes in the teaching staff. From this perspective, the present article presents the results of a research that has been  out in the  course aforementioned, whose purpose is to know the  PBL implementation process. The study consists of an explanatory research of qualitative typology, having as participants 65 students of the 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th semester of the Medicine course. The collection instrument was a questionnaire prepared by two doctors (one in methodology and the other in medicine) applied in November 2017 and organized into ten questions, of which 06 were objective and 04 were open, whose data categorization technique was Content Analysis. The student in the majority would recommend the methodology, because they believe that it stimulates  knowledge, it makes the student more proactive and responsible, developing competences. It is considered in terms of conclusions on the part of scholars that  PBL has presented itself as a possible and appropriate alternative to respond to the requirements since the method allows the reflexive thinking promotion, encourages research work and scientific research, and approaches the student to the environment where he or she is inserted into.Keyword: Active Methodology.

The development of an agro-industrial complex under present-day conditions is impossible to imagine without the development of agro-biotechnology, which in turn requires specialists with profound knowledge of biology, chemistry and related sciences. In this regard, training of personnel is needed to ensure active implementation of modern technologies in agricultural sciences. Until recently, such specialists have not been trained at classical universities, to which St. Petersburg State University belongs. To deal with this challenge, a Masters Program «Molecular Biology and Agrobiotechnology of Plants» has been developed and is being implemented in SPbSU. Teaching staff from eight departments of the Biological Faculty of SPbSU is involved in the creation and implementation of the Program. The Program in question is focused on familiarizing students with the modern problems, achievements, methodology of agro-biotechnology of plants, as well as on practical application of the obtained knowledge. Special attention is paid to the formation of trainees’ perceptions of the possibility and necessity of bringing plant breeding to the level of requirements and possibilities of the «post-genome era» to achieve high productivity and sustainability of agricultural production with minimal environmental risks. The Program seamlessly integrates practical exercises and students’ research work in the SPbSU facilities, as well as that performed at St. Petersburg research institutes. Much attention is paid to the development of students’ skills in conducting scientific discussions and in presenting their scientific data in different formats, for instance in English, which is very important for monitoring current scientific trends and integrating own research into world science. The Program is popular with students and many of its graduates have been employed by the leading biological and agricultural research institutes.

It is hard to imagine learning science without doing laboratory or fieldwork. The research work in this paper assessed the state of physics laboratory teaching and learning resources in some selected universities in the South West geopolitical zone of Nigeria. The survey was carried out in five universities namely The University of Lagos, University of Agriculture, Lagos State University, Olabisi Onabanjo University and Covenant University. An 88-item inventory assessment questionnaire was administered and responses were collated for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data derived from the study. Findings revealed that there is dearth of modern and specialised physics laboratory equipment/resources; and the obsolete state of most workshops. Inadequacy of the available resources was also observed where some universities combine physics students from the Faculties of Education and Science for most practical sessions. Based on the findings, the study proffers some recommendation that could improve the resource situations in these universities.   Keywords: Physics, laboratory, learning.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore teachers’ attitudes toward the implementation of new computer technology to improve teaching and learning products at a private Arab school in Israel. Specifically, the aim was to individuate teachers’ factors associated with higher productivity of this technological change. Design/methodology/approach The research used the mixed-methods approach to enrich the data derived from a case study. It employed a questionnaire of 81 items administered among 55 teachers and in-depth interviews with both teachers and senior management team members at one private Arab school in Israel. Findings Results show some features that characterize the teachers who rated the productivity of this new management change highly. Those teachers tend to have high expectations of the change and to view the change implementation process favorably. Teachers with such characteristics tend to be female teachers. The influence of teachers’ education was latent. Their teaching experience influenced only their expectations and views of the process, but not their perceptions of the change products. Research limitations/implications The paper focused only on one private school known for its excellence and teaching staff, and thus may not apply to the entire Arab education system in Israel. Nevertheless, the findings indicate how to increase teaching productivity when planning the management of technological change for increased teaching benefits in schools with similar characteristics. Originality/value This paper explored a case in which technological change was implemented through a careful process of management planning, in order to facilitate the construction of a model of indicators to facilitate change.
