Este livro constitui o primeiro volume de uma coleção pedagógica vocacionada para o estudante de Medicina Veterinária e, em destaque, para a compreensão da Anatomia/Morfologia dos animais de interesse veterinário. Se é correto que a Morfologia do organismo animal se mantém, de certo modo, inalterada nos seus conceitos fundamentais e na descrição geral dos sistemas e aparelhos, também é lícito afirmar-se que os estudantes têm uma certa relutância e dificuldade na sua aprendizagem. Para eles, a morfologia descritiva é isso mesmo, um conjunto de conceitos e de termos complexo e demasiado vasto. Este problema agrava-se na medida em que qualquer unidade curricular de Anatomia é ministrada nos primeiros semestres do curso de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária. Tendo em mente esta situação, aliada aos anos de ensino de Anatomia, surge a ideia de uma pequena coleção pedagógica, acessível a todos, que integre a terminologia geral de cada sistema e aparelho, os conceitos fundamentais e que seja complementada quer com imagens reais de osteologia e de disseção quer com protocolos laboratoriais de orientação para o estudante. Cada volume abordará uma região anatómica, sendo o ensino “em espiral”, de forma que o estudante compreenda cada uma das partes e a integre no todo animal. Cada volume, sempre que apropriado, abordará ainda algumas curiosidades anatómicas e é dado enfoque à importância clínica de determinadas estruturas, em detrimento de uma simples descrição exaustiva das mesmas, tentando que o estudante melhor compreenda as competências de que necessita para o desempenho profissional. Em nossa opinião, este tipo de manual de Anatomia, associado a imagens reais legendadas, em oposição a atlas e modelos virtuais, e complementado com protocolos laboratoriais de orientação, pode constituir uma ferramenta primordial para o aluno principiante, ao mesmo tempo que o começa a capacitar para a realidade de “hands on” futura.

The Materials Science Department at Iowa State University has developed a laboratory designed to improve instruction in the use of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The laboratory makes use of a computer network and a series of remote workstations in a classroom setting to provide students with increased hands-on access to the SEM. The laboratory has also been equipped such that distance learning via the internet can be achieved.A view of the laboratory is shown in Figure 1. The laboratory consists of a JEOL 6100 SEM, a Macintosh Quadra computer that acts as a server for the network and controls the energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), four Macintosh computers that act as remote workstations, and a fifth Macintosh that acts as an internet server. A schematic layout of the classroom is shown in Figure 2. The workstations are connected directly to the SEM to allow joystick and computer control of the microscope. An ethernet connection between the Quadra and the workstations allows students seated there to operate the EDS. Control of the microscope and joystick is passed between the workstations by a switch-box assembly that resides at the microscope console. When the switch-box assembly is activated a direct serial line is established between the specified workstation and the microscope via the SEM’s RS-232.

Promoting cultural competence in serving diverse clients has become critically important across disciplines. Yet, progress has been limited in raising awareness and sensitivity. Tervalon and Murray-Garcia (1998) believed that cultural competence can only be truly achieved through critical self-assessment, recognition of limits, and ongoing acquisition of knowledge (known as “cultural humility”). Teaching cultural humility, and the value associated with it remains a challenging task for many educators. Challenges inherent in such instruction stem from lack of resources/known strategies as well as learner and instructor readiness. Kirk (2007) further indicates that providing feedback on one's integrity could be threatening. In current study, both traditional classroom-based teaching pedagogy and hands-on community engagement were reviewed. To bridge a gap between academic teaching/learning and real world situations, the author proposed service learning as a means to teach cultural humility and empower students with confidence in serving clients from culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds. To provide a class of 51 students with multicultural and multilingual community service experience, the author partnered with the Tzu-Chi Foundation (an international nonprofit organization). In this article, the results, strengths, and limitations of this service learning project are discussed.

Telepractice, defined by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA, n.d.) as “the application of telecommunications technology to the delivery of professional services at a distance by linking clinician to client, or clinician to clinician, for assessment, intervention, and/or consultation,” is a quickly growing aspect of practicing audiology. However, only 12% of audiologists are involved in providing services via telepractice (REDA International, Inc., 2002). Lack of knowledge regarding telepractice has been cited as one of the reasons many audiologists do not use telepractice to provide audiology services. This study surveyed audiology doctoral students regarding their opinions about the use of telepractice both before and after their opportunity to provide services via telepractice sessions. The authors expected that by providing students the opportunity to have hands-on training in telepractice with supervision, they would be more open to using telepractice after becoming licensed audiologists. Overall, the data indicates benefits of exposing students to telepractice while they are in graduate school.

University dropout is a politically and economically important factor. While a number of studies address this issue cross-sectionally by analyzing different cohorts, or retrospectively via questionnaires, few of them are truly longitudinal and focus on the individual as the unit of interest. In contrast to these studies, an individual differences perspective is adopted in the present paper. For this purpose, a hands-on introduction to a recently proposed structural equation (SEM) approach to discrete-time survival analysis is provided ( Muthén & Masyn, 2005 ). In a next step, a prospective study with N = 1096 students, observed across four semesters, is introduced. As expected, average university grade proved to be an important predictor of future dropout, while high-school grade-point average (GPA) yielded no incremental predictive validity but was completely mediated by university grade. Accounting for unobserved heterogeneity, three latent classes could be identified with differential predictor-criterion relations, suggesting the need to pay closer attention to the composition of the student population.
