Abstract Introduction: Open science is a valuable path to boost the global potential of scientific research by removing barriers for producing, disseminating, and putting science into practice, with the spirit of collaboration, inclusivity and focusing on communities’ rising demands. Open science principles instigate the management of scientific knowledge and the enhancement of abilities such as research, project management, team-building skills, and numerous others, which are essential for medical practice according to international recommendations, although still underexplored by medical schools.Methods: Open science, peer education, student leadership and developing of scientific skills were cornerstones to promote the Training New Research Trainers, the first edition of a national Brazilian student-led online workshop aiming to capacitate medical students in such targeted competencies and abilities through active teaching and learning methodologies.Results: Despite the challenges of online format, as impairment in some dynamics and assessment methods, it improved the access to the event from all Brazilian regions, totaling 409 submissions. Thus, it was necessary to have a previous selection of participants and adjustments in the workshop to assist twice the expected attendants.Discussion and Conclusions: Training New Research Trainers surpassed the national distribution inequalities of research opportunities and resources; mirrored open science bases in terms of access, education and methodology; and showed to be a promising opportunity for students to be protagonists of their learning process and to contribute to future changes in their reality, especially regarding the public health landscape. Improvements and consolidation of the workshop protocol and its expansion through national and international partnerships are the following goals.

Intending to improve the teaching and learning of the notion of mathematical proof this study seeks to uncover the kinds of flaws in postgraduate mathematics education student teachers. Twenty-three student teachers responded to a proof task involving the concepts of transposition and multiplication of matrices. Analytic induction strategy that drew ideas from the literature on evaluating students’ proof understanding and Yang and Lin’s model of proof comprehension applied to informants’ written responses to detect the kinds of flaws in postgraduates’ proof attempts. The study revealed that the use of empirical verifications was dominant and in situations. Whereby participants attempted to argue using arbitrary mathematical objects, the cases considered did not represent the most general case. Flawed conceptualizations uncovered by this study can contribute to efforts directed towards fostering strong subject content command among school mathematics teachers.

Highlight the relevance of topics studied for professional practice and associate approaches provided by different areas of knowledge are pointed as essential aspects for significant learning. Contextualize the study of metabolic pathways, linking the clinical use and expanding the vision with the approach of cellular and molecular biology discipline was the motivation for the development of the strategy described and evaluated here. In this work, starting from the concept of active methodology of teaching and learning was developed a methodological strategy to approach the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. This strategy included: questioning the content through the clinical case study on diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia, individual and collective study in the external space the classroom with the help of Moodle tool, classroom discussion accompanied by the teacher, preparation of seminar, evaluation of the content through individual written test and evaluation of the method. Analysis of student involvement with method indicates an average frequency of 98% in the practical class of Biochemistry discipline, effective participation in the preparation of seminars, an increase of 2 points in average of individual written evaluation. As for the fact that the cases were studied in two curricular components, the answers show that 92% of students feel more compression. Only 6% of students think  unnecessary to interdisciplinary approach. As for the different steps of the method, the answers show that 99% of students consider how relevant the initial self-study and discussions in class. However, only 50% of students appreciated the use of Moodle tool. Thus, student responses indicated the perception of the effectiveness of the method for their ability to: stimulate interest in learning, stimulate the search for answers through research and the building of learning.

<p>Active teaching is a key component in the education system at all stages of education. In practice, introduction of active teaching in mathematics teaching in primary school poses significant challenges for teachers. To solve this problem, we have developed a methodological approach described in this article. In particular, we suggest an active teaching model whose realization is linked to the inclusion of problems with developmental and interdisciplinary content in the teaching process in mathematics classes. The solutions of these problems are associated with particular themes in mathematics classes. We discuss the methodology for constructing the systems of problems with developmental and interdisciplinary content in accordance with particular themes in mathematics classes in primary school, which is based on the scheme that we developed. We have also analyzed the indicators of including such problems in mathematics classes in primary school and the results of the educational experiment demonstrating that the author’s methodological approaches provide a high quality of mathematical education for primary school pupils, make the teaching process interesting and attractive, and ensure their involvement in the process of active teaching and learning through the systems of specially selected problems.</p><p>Aktyvusis mokymas yra pagrindinis ugdymo sistemos komponentas visais ugdymo etapais. Praktinis aktyviojo matematikos mokymo pradinėse klasėse įgyvendinimas mokytojams kelia rimtų iššūkių. Norėdami išspręsti šią problemą, mes sukūrėme metodinę prieigą, aprašytą šiame straipsnyje. Mes siūlome aktyviojo mokymo modelį, kurio įgyvendinimas yra susijęs su lavinamojo ir tarpdalykinio turinio uždavinių įtraukimu į mokymo procesą matematikos pamokose. Šių uždavinių sprendimai yra susiję su konkrečiomis temomis, nagrinėjamomis per matematikos pamokas. Mes aptariame lavinamojo ir tarpdalykinio turinio uždavinių sistemų konstravimo metodiką, pagrįstą mūsų sudaryta schema, pagal konkrečias pradinių klasių matematikos pamokų temas. Taip pat išanalizavome tokių uždavinių įtraukimo į matematikos pamokas pradinėse klasėse rodiklius ir edukacinio eksperimento rezultatus, parodydami, kad autorės metodinės prieigos lemia aukštą pradinių klasių mokinių matematinio ugdymo kokybę, mokymo procesą daro įdomų bei patrauklų ir užtikrina mokinių dalyvavimą aktyvaus mokymo bei mokymosi procese sprendžiant tikslingai parinktų uždavinių sistemas</p>

This research has been carried out under the title of (Evaluation of teaching methods of chemistry concepts through laboratory work). The main objective of this research is to investigate learning and teaching methods, concepts that are taught by laboratory works and the challenges that may the teaching and learning methods face from the perspective of lecturers and students. In this research, to collect the statistical information a type of applications method and combined methods (related to library and region) has been used. In view of Cochran formula and Morgan table. The sampling method was selected systematically on random bases. In addition, the questionnaires were distributed to (136) students and (8) lecturers and their comments were collected. Based on the result of this study, researchers and lecturers have made it clear that the teaching methods of the concepts of chemistry by using laboratory works are directly related to various subjects in a complex concept, and students are taught by the activity of exploratory, exploration, problem-solving skills, and project centered. However, it can be possible in existence of sufficient materials and equipment. The majority of students and lecturers reminded the lack of laboratory, equipment and lack of knowledge of lecturers from active teaching methods of the laboratory.

Constructivist Approaches

The level of student engagement is often seen as an indicator of quality in discourses concerning the higher-education student experience.  This opinion piece explores the inherent tensions in promoting and facilitating student engagement within the evolving Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) landscape.  Many institutions expend energy - and in some cases significant resource - upon the development of student-engagement projects, whether through ‘partnership’, ‘change agent’ or ‘producer’ models.   But what happens when the level of student engagement is high, yet runs in direct opposition to the form of student engagement best suited to blunt measures of ‘quality’ within prevailing policy frameworks?    The TEF, with its reliance on National Student Survey (NSS) data, assumes that engaged students will comply with requirements to complete a survey without critiquing the principles on which the survey and its central link to the TEF-based judgement of teaching quality are founded. The present National Union of Students boycott of the NSS is provided as an example of student engagement that runs counter to the intentions of national policy and to some institutional necessities. In the face of such challenges, institutions could decide to eschew their commitment to student engagement. However, a strengthening of commitment to student engagement is called for, in keeping with constructivist approaches to teaching and learning and in valuing the worth of reflexive deliberations of all those involved – including those who express dissatisfaction.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 provided both a need and an opportunity for educational institutions in Sydney to explore new ways of providing teaching and learning for their students. UBSS was able to respond quickly because it had already prepared to introduce online learning. In mid-2019, the institution had decided to offer an online option and a senior staff member and support staff had been working since then to convert existing product into suitable online format. By the time the demand for online teaching and learning arrived, the institution was already well placed for the conversion.
