En el presente artículo nos dedicamos a profundizar una dimensión de la categoría “resonancia emocional”, construida a partir de hallazgos obtenidos en nuestra investigación en torno a las “buenas prácticas de enseñanza” de una profesora de la Facultad de Humanidades de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (UNMDP), Argentina. La docente integra el grupo de “profesores memorables” elegidos como ejemplo de buena enseñanza por estudiantes avanzados.La mencionada categoría fue construida a partir del peculiar enfoque de la enseñanza de la profesora, quien prioriza la trama vincular afectiva con los estudiantes como factor crucial para la comprensión de objetos complejos, como son los temas filosóficos que aborda. Nos dedicamos aquí, específicamente, a la inclusión del humor en sus clases, puesto que es un recurso didáctico persistente en su configuración didáctica. Se trata de una apelación al sentimiento de alegría, que conforma un clima de clase distendido y propicio para la comprensión.A partir de “registros etnográficos de clases”, entrevista a la docente, encuestas a los estudiantes, diario de campo, testimonios y materiales referenciales construimos categorías que nos permiten avanzar en el conocimiento de la buena enseñanza universitaria.AbstractThis article goes deeper into a dimension of the category ‘emotional resonance’ which stemmed from our research on the good teaching practices of one professor at Mar del Plata State University, Argentina. Such professor belongs to the group ‘memorable teachers’ signalled as such by their advanced students.The category results from a peculiar teaching approach, in which the professor privileges the affective bond with her students as a core matter for the understanding of the complex philosophical issues she addresses. In this particular work humour is discussed, as she introduces this in her classes as a pedagogic resource. She thus resorts to feelings of joy, which help build a relaxed and comfortable classroom atmosphere that in turns fosters comprehension. Based on ethnographic records, an interview to the professor, surveys to the students, a class journal, testimonies and reference materials, we have been enabled to further our knowledge of good university teaching.

RESUMEN: El presente escrito forma parte de una investigación que versa sobre la representación del conocimiento sobre buenas prácticas docentes de un tutor e-learning. La metodología de trabajo es mixta, combina tanto instrumentos cuantitativos: cuestionario cerrado tipo Likert, como cualitativos: entrevista semiestructurada. El cuestionario fue elaborado ad hoc en base a las funciones y competencias del buen tutor e-learning recogidas por Yot y Marcelo (2013), aplicándose a una muestra de 13 tutores pertenecientes al departamento de tutorización de una escuela de negocios, donde se imparten enseñanzas de educación superior. Tras el análisis de los datos, se determinó a un tutor e-learning como agente de buenas prácticas en base a las respuestas satisfactorias y los criterios establecidos, al cual posteriormente se le realizó la entrevista para poder realizar una aproximación a su competencia digital. Los datos obtenidos del cuestionario se analizaron a través del software SPSS, mientras que los de la entrevista mediante el software cualitativo Atlas.ti. Finalmente fueron representados en dos mapas conceptuales, el primero recoge los datos referentes al contacto con el alumnado y la metodología docente, y el segundo muestra los aspectos relacionados con la gestión de los contenidos y la resolución de dudas. PALABRAS CLAVE: competencia digital; e-learning; buenas prácticas docentes; representación del conocimiento.   ABSTRACT: This paper is part of a research that deals with the representation of the knowledge about good teaching practices of an e-learning tutor. The work methodology is mixed, combining both quantitative instruments, closed questionnaire type Likert, and qualitative, with a semi-structured interview. The questionnaire was elaborated ad hoc on the basis of the functions and competences of the good e-learning tutor collected by Yot and Marcelo (2013), being applied to a sample of 13 tutors belonging to the tutoring department of a business school, where higher education is taught. After the analysis of the quantitative data, an e-learning tutor was determined as an agent of good practices on the basis of the satisfactory answers and the established criteria, to which the interview was subsequently carried out in order to be able to make an approach to its digital competence. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed through the SPSS software, while those from the interview were analyzed through the Atlas.ti qualitative software. Finally, they were represented in two concept maps: the first one gathers the data referring to the contact with the students and the teaching methodology, and the second one shows the aspects related to the management of the contents and answer for questions. KEYWORDS: digital competence; eLearning; good teaching practices; knowledge representation.

Abstract A teaching philosophy is described as “a vivid portrait of a person who is intentional about teaching practices and committed to his/her career” (Ohio State University Faculty & TA Development [OSUFTAD], 2005). Being intentional about what one does requires self-reflection, self-analysis, and ultimately self-knowledge. According to Palmer (1998), “We teach who we are… When I do not know myself, I cannot know who my students are,” (p.2). “Good teaching requires self-knowledge; it is a secret hidden in plain sight” (p.3). In this article, readers will be asked to reflect on their own life experiences, values and gifts that have influenced their decision to become clinical supervisors and to incorporate this personal narrative and reflection into the composition of a teaching philosophy, more specifically a philosophy of supervision.

Being a teacher means being involved in the design of learning activities. The teaching profession has become a «profession of knowledge», not because knowledge was or is the legitimate component of the profession, but because the teacher is the designer of learning environments and has the ability to design the spaces where knowledge is being produced. But these learning environments have long been regulated to the privacy of the classroom environment with student complicity. One positive aspect of the launch of the European Higher Education Area has been to bring greater transparency to the process of designing teaching and student learning. Our objective in this study was to identify, represent and document a wide variety of learning designs made by experienced and innovative teachers. We hope this repository will be available and accessible to every teacher through the Internet. The participants in this study were 58 teachers mainly from universities in Andalusia and the five branches of knowledge. From interviews we proceeded to represent all the learning sequences, available in the repository of sequences that we named «Ala cena». This repository is accessible on our research group’s website (http://prometeo.us.es/idea). The conclusions of our study were that there are innovative learning designs aimed at promoting a greater understanding of what students learn through their involvement in processes of inquiry and/or collaboration, and they are representative of good teaching practices in universities.Ser docente significa estar implicado en el diseño de actividades de aprendizaje. La profesión docente se ha transformado en una «profesión del conocimiento» no ya porque el conocimiento haya sido o sea el componente legitimador de la profesión, sino porque el docente es el diseñador de ambientes de aprendizaje y tiene la capacidad de rentabilizar los espacios donde se produce el conocimiento. Ahora bien, estos ambientes de aprendizaje durante mucho tiempo han quedado regulados en el ámbito de privacidad del aula y a la complicidad con el alumnado. Uno de los aspectos positivos que ha tenido la puesta en marcha del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior ha sido aportar una mayor transparencia a los procesos de diseño del aprendizaje de los alumnos. Nuestro objetivo en este estudio consistió en identificar, representar y documentar una amplia variedad de diseños de aprendizaje realizados por docentes con amplia experiencia innovadora y que pudieran estar disponibles y accesibles a través de Internet. El profesorado que ha participado en este estudio lo han conformado un total de cincuenta y ocho docentes principalmente de las diferentes universidades andaluzas y de las cinco ramas de conocimiento. A partir de entrevistas procedimos a representar el total de secuencias de aprendizaje que están disponibles en el repositorio de secuencias que hemos denominado «Alacena». Este repositorio está accesible en la página web de nuestro grupo de investigación http://prometeo.us.es/idea. Como conclusiones del estudio se constata que existen diseños del aprendizaje innovadores y universitarios que pretenden promover en el alumnado una alta comprensión de lo aprendido a través de su implicación en procesos de indagación y/o colaboración y que son representación de buenas prácticas de enseñanza.

Background: Pediatric abdominal surgical condition that is complicated by gross peritoneal contamination may require enterostomy as a damage control or salvage procedure. Late presentations mostly seen in developing countries make creation of enterostomy a relatively common surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the creation of enterostomy in children who presented with acute abdominal surgical conditions. Methods: This was a retrospective study of children that had enterostomy in the pediatric surgery unit of Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria. Medical records of pediatric patients that had enterostomy over a 10-year period were assessed. Results: There were 32 cases of enterostomies performed during the study period. There were 25 males (78.1%) and 7 females (21.9%) with a male to female ratio of 3.6:1. The age range of the patients was 3 weeks to 180 months, with a median age of 96 months. There were 1 neonate (3.1%), 10 infants (31.3%) and 21 children (65.6%) older than 1 year. The primary diagnoses were typhoid intestinal perforation in 21 patients (65.6%), intussusception 10 (31.3%) and intestinal atresia 1 (3.1%). Ileostomy was performed in 31 patients (96.9%) and jejunostomy in 1 patient (3.1%). Enterostomy was created at the time of initial laparotomy (damage control) in 21 patients (65.6%) while 11 patients (34.4%) had their enterostomy as a salvage procedure at the time of re-exploration. Peristomal skin complication was the most common complication recorded in our patients. Mortality was 12.5%. Conclusion: Enterostomy is lifesaving in the management of acute abdominal surgical condition when there is gross peritoneal contamination in severely ill children. Proper surgical technique and electrolyte derangements are important considerations when enterostomies are created.

Background: Provision of antiretroviral therapy in resource limited settings has put pressure on the available infrastructure. Objectives: The study examined patients’ adherence to Doctor’s appointment attendance after an intervention changing the model of care and factors that predicted adherence. Methods: Observational study was carried out over four years. The model of care was changed in the last year and the effect assessed. SPSS version 15.0 was used for analysis. Predictors of adherence were determined using logistic regression model. Results: Over half 148 (59.7%) of the patients were females, with a mean age of 40.4±8.8 years and baseline CD4 cells of 143.5±92.7cells/microliters. “Adherence” rates were 51.3% in 2007, 35.9% in 2008 and 14.9% in 2009 giving patients’ average adherence to Doctor’s appointment attendance of 34.03%. Intervention changing the model of care in 2010 recorded an adherence rate of 93.1%. Conclusions: The change in model of care greatly improved patients’ “adherence”. Patients’ knowledge of management, adherence, and smoking and drinking habits were identified as statistically significant predictors of adherence.
