Abstract Background Supportive co-teaching (SCT) is the practice of employing two or more experts whose knowledge and experiences are needed simultaneously to make a connection across different disciplines in a classroom. Although this interdisciplinary approach seems to be beneficial, there are many features which need further examination. This study was conducted to systematically review studies addressing the use of this approach and learners’ views on SCT in medical sciences. Methods We searched for the studies addressing students’ views on SCT in medical sciences from January1st 2000 to June 31st, 2019. All the studies, both quantitative and qualitative published in English language, investigating the students’ views on SCT, in non-clinical courses in the setting of medical sciences were included. We searched electronic databases of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, WHO Global Health Library, Health Systems Evidence, and ERIC with the keywords and phrases related to the topic which were: “co-teaching”, “team teaching”, “collaborative teaching”, “peer-to-peer co-teaching”, “partnership teaching”, and“ teacher collaboration”. Results By the initial search, 9806 studies were found and after deletion of duplicates and screening, 111 remained for selection. Upon the independent review by two researchers, we were able to discern 12 studies eligible to be included for data extraction. All the studies reported positive views of the students towards SCT although some identified concerns and drawbacks. The students stated that they could better perceive the relationship between basic and clinical sciences, were more engaged in the learning process, and their learning experience was optimized in a course directed by SCT. Conclusion Overall, the students showed positive views of this approach of teaching, and their grades indicated they learned better than expected. However, mismatch and lack of coordination between instructors would make the class distracting, confusing and even disturbing. Further studies investigating different variables related to teachers and students in SCT classes are suggested.

Background: Now a day’s important elements being planned and used in the curriculum is vertical integration, i.e. integration between the clinical and basic science sections of the curriculum, and horizontal integration i.e. between different subject areas. Integration throughout the whole curriculum is time-consuming for both teachers and students and hard work is required for planning, organization and execution. Psychiatry is an important subject in medical sciences and knowledge of this subject is helpful in understanding function of body, mind and related issues which are modified by disease processes. Aim of the study is to assess the importance of horizontal and vertical integration in an undergraduate medical curriculum and importance of Psychiatry in pre-clinical, para-clinical and clinical learning, according to opinion among fourth year MBBS students. Methods and materials: A self administered questionnaire was used among all the consenting 4th Year MBBS Students of BPKIHS, Dharan, Nepal (324 of 400 responded) of four consecutive years to know about the importance of psychiatry as a subject and different components of the undergraduate medical curriculum including vertical and horizontal integration. They were asked to assign between three options to each question (from agree, neutral and disagree). Results: The result showed that majority of the students were in favor of vertical integration of the various subjects and admitted the importance of psychiatry as a subject and its knowledge helps them in better understanding of the other subjects included in medical curriculum. Conclusions: Vertical integration of medical subjects may be better than horizontal Integration for teaching and learning as this help students to understand the medical subject’s in a superior way. This study also reveals that as of its importance in the medical curriculum, subject of Psychiatry should be given more emphasis during the undergraduate training period.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpan.v3i1.11346 J Psychiatrists’ Association of Nepal Vol .3, No.1, 2014: 10-15

Background: The content for courses for English for specific purposes (ESP) has been largely determined on the basis of the intuitive judgments and personal preferences of syllabus designers and teachers rather than a standard needs analysis. The present study was an attempt at assessing the current English language abilities of undergraduate students majoring in the medical sciences and identifying their target needs for academic success through quantitative and qualitative methods. Methods: The participants included 197 undergraduate students, 12 Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) teachers, and 15 content teachers from the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Data were collected through a target needs analysis, self-assessment questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. Results: Pronunciation, technical and general vocabulary knowledge, and use of bilingual dictionaries were regarded as ‘important’ and ‘very important’ target needs by the participants, though some significant differences in perceptions were found between content teachers and students. Writing skill, listening comprehension, and speaking were perceived as the weakest points in the students’ current level of ability. There was also a significant difference between the perception of TEFL teachers and students in assessing the students’ linguistic abilities. Furthermore, both students and TEFL teachers voiced their dissatisfaction with certain areas of ESP courses, such as an inadequate number of credits and heterogeneity of classes. Conclusion: To improve the outcome of ESP courses, they should be designed on the basis of a realistic appreciation of all stakeholders’ perceptions in the field, and they should be taught through the cooperation of both TEFL teachers and content teachers working together.

The big interest which raises the gastronomic culture is well-known everywhere. Now more than never people write, publish and read about this subject but what is really surprising is the amazing rating audience reached by the TV programmes which deal with popularizing recipes for traditional, regional, market, season or author cooking. Some of them have stayed on the air for quite a long time and have contributed to the appearance of the «star cook» who is appreciated not only by his/her solid professional career or by his/her refined culinary technique, but also and especially by his/her impact as a communicator. Every TV channel has a programme about the subject so as to engage and keep a wide and diverse section of audience. You can see how students have become interested in these subjects –not only those who are studying a Cookery Vocational Training Course- due to the influence of television. They ask their teacher about a certain programme, the teacher´s opinion about the cook´s work, they even suggest preparing a certain dish which has drawn their attention or want to know if the technique the cook has used is the most suitable. The teacher has so the opportunity of applying a new methodology with a flexible approach by making use of these topics as didactic strategies to foster and develop the students´ learning motivation. The problem arises when we consider the value these kind of TV programmes have as a learning tool. Are they useful for the educational purposes according to a professional profile? Do they refer to the professional performance and are they suitable for the units of competence which are part of the professional abilities? Do they fit in the general abilities which are common to the educative vocational level? What about the general goals and purposes of the Cookery Vocational Training Course and the final abilities of every subject? It is obvious they don´t. Regarding the suitability of the gastronomic-culinary contents of these TV programmes we come to the conclusion that it is not quite satisfactory: the contents which refer to concepts may be suitable (especially those which have to do with facts, but not always those notions or empiric rules) Finally, it is worth taking into a special consideration the attitude knowledge. As whole, the kind of attitude which is spread by TV cooking programmes would be appropriate as contents in the teaching-learning process: importance of healthy and balanced food, suitability of natural and season products, etc. So the problem we approach in this paper deals with the way teachers and students could take advantage of TV programmes though the teaching-learning process by making up for the lack of some suitable contents which may be related to the Cookery Vocational Training Course curriculum. A nadie escapa el enorme interés que despierta la cultura gastronómica. Y aunque se escribe, edita y lee más que nunca sobre esta materia, lo realmente sorprendente es la tremenda audiencia alcanzada por programas de televisión dedicados a divulgar recetas de cocina, tradicional, regional, de mercado, de temporada, de autor, etc.; algunos se mantienen en antena desde hace bastantes años y han contribuido al surgimiento de la figura del «cocinero estrella», del que se aprecia no sólo la solidez de su trayectoria profesional o una depurada técnica culinaria sino también, y sobre todo, su impacto como comunicador... No hay cadena televisiva que no dedique al tema en cuestión un espacio en su parrilla, consciente de poder así atraer y mantener a un amplio y variopinto sector de audiencia. De manera cotidiana se constata el interés del alumnado en general, no sólo del que cursa un Ciclo Formativo de Cocina, por estos temas; algo lógico dado el alcance mediático de la televisión: se pregunta al profesor si ha visto tal o cual programa, la opinión que le merece el cocinero que lo realiza, proponiendo confeccionar en el aula determinado plato que ha llamado poderosamente su atención o si la técnica empleada en el mismo es la correcta. El profesor, a su vez, tiene la oportunidad de ampliar la metodología empleada, adoptando un planteamiento flexible, al usar este tipo de cuestiones como estrategias didácticas en el desarrollo de las capacidades terminales de los alumnos y alumnas y, lo que es muy importante, favoreciendo y potenciando la motivación por el aprendizaje. El problema se plantea cuando se analiza el valor como instrumento de aprendizaje que pueda tener los programas de cocina emitidos por televisión. ¿Sirven a las intenciones educativas referidas al perfil profesional?, ¿expresan acciones o realizaciones profesionales propias de las unidades de competencia en que se desglosa la capacidad profesional?, ¿se adecuan a las capacidades generales comunes del nivel formativo?, ¿y a las finalidades y objetivos generales del Ciclo Formativo de Cocina y capacidades terminales de cada uno de sus módulos? Es evidente que no. Si se analiza la idoneidad o legitimidad de los contenidos gastronómico-culinarios de los programas televisivos, la conclusión a la que se llega no es del todo satisfactoria: podría existir idoneidad en los contenidos de tipo conceptual (en especial hechos y datos, así como en los conceptos; menos, o no siempre, en cuanto a principios o reglas empíricas). Por último, merece la pena detenerse algo más frente a los conocimientos actitudinales. En general, las actitudes que difunden los programas de cocina en televisión resultarían trasladables como contenidos al proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje: la importancia de una alimentación sana y equilibrada, la idoneidad de los productos naturales y de temporada, etc. El problema que aborda esta comunicación sería, pues, cómo aprovechar las indudables ventajas que la televisión pone a disposición de profesores y profesoras, alumnos y alumnas en el desarrollo del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje, siendo capaces, al mismo tiempo, de subsanar las carencias del material que ofrecen los espacios televisivos para el desarrollo curricular de la materia objeto de las enseñanzas correspondientes al Ciclo Formativo de Grado Medio de Cocina.

Background: Basic medical sciences are essential foundation for the constructive learning of clinical sciences. Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Syiah Kuala is currently implementing Problem-based learning (PBL) for basic medical sciences. Studies have been conducted in many places with inconsistently different results that it is impossible to draw theoretical and practical conclusions regarding the implementation of PBL for basic medical sciences. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of PBL for basic medical sciences at Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Syiah Kuala from the perspectives of pre-clinical teachers, clinical teachers and medical students.Methods: This is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Respondents were pre-clinical teachers, clinical teachers and medical students. Data collection were carried out by using focused-group discussion (FGD). Data analysis was carried out qualitatively by using thematic analysis.Results: This study identified three themes: (1) integrated thematic blocks are not adequate for the learning of basic medical sciences, (2) inadequacy of basic medical sciences practice activities, and (3) possible improvements through curriculum revision.Conclusion: The implementation of PBL in the form of integrated blocks for basic medical sciences is not adequately constructive to prepare students to learn clinical sciences. Hybrid curriculum which incorporates conventional methods for basic medical sciences and PBL for clinical sciences is recommended to improve students’ constructive learning. Further studies on hybrid curriculum is needed to evaluate its effect of basic medical sciences. Keywords: Basic medical sciences, Problem-based learning (PBL), practical session, hybrid curriculum, constructive learning, self-directed learning.

The implementation of a bilingual teaching program requires a series of actions concerning methodological training and language support for both teachers and students. The Bilingual Education Program at Escuela Superior de Ingeniería (School of Engineering, University of Cádiz, Spain) was approved by the Board of the School in 2014 with the aim of developing English-Spanish CLIL-based bilingual curricula for the various Bachelor degrees offered. Amongst the measures taken to implement the program, teacher training has been a priority, with monitoring being an essential part. Monitoring sessions have now been carried out for more than six academic years and have a double objective: gathering the teachers’ perceptions and beliefs regarding their role as EMI teachers and providing them with feedback as to their practice through class observation in order to fine-tune future language development and methodology programs. The goal of this paper is to show that monitoring sessions may serve as a valid tool for assessing the impact of in-service training on bilingual teaching. The results show that teachers have experienced remarkable progress by incorporating language awareness into their practice as EMI teachers, thus contributing to improve the language level of both their students and themselves, and by applying specific didactic strategies to make the learning process more dynamic, participatory, stimulating and creative.
