This article discusses the adoption of entrepreneurial practices as fundamental to the professor strategy. It is true that the addition of educational entrepreneurship concepts has not been thorough enough for a number of biases that have barred this discussion so far (Lavieri, 2010). For this reason, this paper focuses its importance to the qualitative education of the student. But what these entrepreneurial practices ? These practices, as Lowman (2004 ), relate to the different actions applied by the teacher in order to better convey his teachings and make the student body can understand and comprehend the contents taught and their applications . Thus, the teacher is no longer simply a content - and becomes a facilitator of the learning process. Thus, we highlight the importance of continuing education for the development of content, both from the point of view of the teacher as the student. After analysis and discussion, a reflection on the importance of constantly planned and sustained process of dialogue- creative education will be presented. This work drew on an exploratory study with bibliographical and field techniques, especially the experiential, from the systemic registration of experiences of the authors of the article and the testimony of other professors. Then characterized as essentially a qualitative study, no statistical evidence of the application of these practices.

The developments of the penitentiary system and the ever-growing needs for humanization in this area pose a number of new tasks to penitentiary institutions, which are generally aimed at creating conditions for acquiring skills for the offenders’ resocialization. This requirement includes guarantees for the realization of the right to education in the penitentiary system and the provision of continuing education. From this point of view, it is also necessary to study the personal attitude of convicts towards education. Accordingly, this article presents some of the results of the author's research conducted in the penitentiary institutions of the Republic of Armenia. The results relate to attitudes and beliefs about education in two main areas (learning purpose and attitudes, learning process and courses)

A teacher who knows the type of motivation can create the conditions to reinforce the appropriate positive motivation. If this is a motivation related to the outcome of the training, the conditions for its support, promotion, demonstration of the usefulness of the acquired knowledge for the future can be the creation of a positive public opinion. If this motivation is the motivation related to the purpose of learning, then the conditions for its support can be the information about the results obtained, the emergence and formation of cognitive interests, the problematic methodology. To support the motivation associated with the learning process, there is a need for a lively and entertaining structure of the learning process, student’s activity and independence, research methodology and the creation of conditions for the manifestation of their skills. The article puts forward ideas about the main features of the modern lesson, which contributes to the socialization of the student's personality, and explains in detail the forms of organization of the modern lesson. In addition, the stages of the modern lesson and the organization of students’ activity in these stages were noted. The main focus is on the problem of directing the socialization of the student's personality. It addresses the issues of meeting the needs of students in the organization of pedagogical work in the modern classroom, as well as the creation of a system of interaction in the student body. The need for individual application of programs aimed at promoting the personal position of the student stems from the fact that in this context, a fertile socio-pedagogical basis for the individual integration of knowledge of each student is formed. It should be noted that such an approach to pedagogical work leads to sustainable prospects in education. The purpose of the article is also to link the content elements of education and the individual stages of the lesson structure on a pedagogical-psychological basis from a socio-logical point of view. The article also provides extensive scientific approaches and practical examples of the ways aimed at the improving the quality of education.

(1) Background: Simulation is a part of the day-to-day of the learning method in health sciences. The objective is to determine if the clinical simulation is useful for learning in the emergency setting, from the point of view of the nursing students. (2) Methods: A pre- and post-test exploratory study with an analytical and quasi-experimental design was used. The population is made up of nursing students from the Seville Red Cross Nursing Centre, who conducted a simulation exercise in the form of a drill for the care of multiple victims. A specific questionnaire was employed as a tool to analyse the dimensions of satisfaction, confidence and motivation, clinical experience, and decision making and technical abilities. (3) Results: There were favourable significant differences in the set of global responses, with p < 0.0001 for the “satisfaction” dimension and d = 1.25 for the “large” size of the effect, and p < 0.0069 for the “confidence and motivation” dimension and d = 0.58 for the “moderate–large” size of the effect. (4) Conclusions: The results are similar to those obtained in other studies in the scope of the 4 dimensions studied, thus coming to the conclusion that the perception of the nursing students on learning through clinical simulation is positive and favourable.

Modern approaches in deep neural networks have a number of issues related to the learning process and computational costs. This article considers the architecture grounded on an alternative approach to the basic unit of the neural network. This approach achieves optimization in the calculations and gives rise to an alternative way to solve the problems of the vanishing and exploding gradient. The main issue of the article is the usage of the deep stacked neo-fuzzy system, which uses a generalized neo-fuzzy neuron to optimize the learning process. This approach is non-standard from a theoretical point of view, so the paper presents the necessary mathematical calculations and describes all the intricacies of using this architecture from a practical point of view. From a theoretical point, the network learning process is fully disclosed. Derived all necessary calculations for the use of the backpropagation algorithm for network training. A feature of the network is the rapid calculation of the derivative for the activation functions of neurons. This is achieved through the use of fuzzy membership functions. The paper shows that the derivative of such function is a constant, and this is a reason for the statement of increasing in the optimization rate in comparison with neural networks which use neurons with more common activation functions (ReLU, sigmoid). The paper highlights the main points that can be improved in further theoretical developments on this topic. In general, these issues are related to the calculation of the activation function. The proposed methods cope with these points and allow approximation using the network, but the authors already have theoretical justifications for improving the speed and approximation properties of the network. The results of the comparison of the proposed network with standard neural network architectures are shown

The street child that is driven by circumstances to live outside the supportive structure of the family, is on his own. He doesn’t have the educational developmental opportunities that children who grow up in families and societies do. He finds himself in a unique educational and living environment. From an educational psychologist’s point of view, this environment is abnormal. It is therefore a great challenge for the educational psychologist to try and avoid or resolve negative effects of the child's living environment. An exploratory-, descriptive-, contextual- and qualitative study was done, with the aim of gaining insight and understanding into the life of the street child in Hillbrow as well as his experiences of his situation. The results obtained from the interviews were placed in four categories. These categories are: The street child’s continuous struggle to survive, his need for a “normal child life” , his inability to accept responsibility and the presence of a normative awareness within the street child. In conclusion it is clear that the experiential world of the street child is multi-facetted. In general it appears that the street child has many limitations and difficulties which he experiences, and that input by an educational psychologist can have meaningful influence in his life.

This study examines the pedagogical training process of medical professors at a Brazilian university, the meanings attributed to it, and the positive and negative aspects identified in it. This is a descriptive-exploratory study, using a qualitative approach with a questionnaire utilizing open-ended and closed questions and a semi-structured interview. The majority of queried individuals had no formal teacher training and learned to be teachers through a process of socialization that was in part intuitive or by modeling those considered to be good teachers; they received pedagogical training mainly in post-graduate courses. Positives aspects of this training were the possibility of refresher courses in pedagogical methods and increased knowledge in their educational area. Negative factors were a lack of practical activities and a dichotomy between theoretical content and practical teaching. The skills acquired through professional experience formed the basis for teaching competence and pointed to the need for continuing education projects at the institutional level, including these skills themselves as a source of professional knowledge.

ABSTRACT Qualitative study that aimed to analyze the discourse of 15 district managers about knowledge and information related to the transfer of the Directly Observed Treatment of Tuberculosis policy in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The empiric material, collected in May and June 2013 through interviews, was analyzed according to Michel Pêcheux's Discourse Analysis. Despite contradictions, misunderstandings and silences observed in some discourse about this policy, the interviewees value the matricial support and the shared discussions involving the professionals, the management and the users, with emphasis on the rearrangement of the service in operating the Directly Observed Treatment of Tuberculosis. The need for investments in professional qualification is clear, with a view to refining the work process through the reorientation of practices from the perspective of continuing education, which represents a strong device for the exchange of knowledge and innovative proposals with a view to effective tuberculosis control.
