Este estudo descritivo, exploratório e quanti-qualitativo teve como objetivo identificar as necessidades formativas de 79 condutores de visitantes dos Parques Nacionais (PARNA) do Caparaó (PNC) e Serra da Capivara (PNSC). As informações foram coletadas a partir de entrevista semiestruturada, cujo tema gerador contemplou as necessidades formativas apontadas pelos próprios condutores. Os resultados revelam que os condutores investigados têm preferência por cursos de capacitação predominantemente práticos e que contemplem mais a realidade específica de cada PARNA investigado. Neste sentido, os profissionais apontam as necessidades de que os cursos possuam caráter prático e sejam ministrados no interior dos PARNAS, contemplando tanto os conhecimentos instrumentais necessários à atividade de condução quanto as características ecológicas específicas do parque, região, bioma e ecossistema em que as atividades ocorrem. Os cursos mais reivindicados pelos condutores investigados foram os de primeiros socorros, os de segundo idioma e os de características ecológicas do parque, da região, do bioma e do ecossistema. Educational needs of visitors’ instructors in National Parks ABSTRACT This descriptive, exploratory, and quantitative-qualitative study had the objective of identifying the educational needs of 79 instructors of visitors from the Caparaó (PNC) and Serra da Capivara (PNSC) National Parks (PARNA). Information was collected from semi-structured interviews, whose generating theme contemplated the educational needs pointed out by the instructors themselves. Results show that the investigated instructors have a preference for predominantly practical training courses that more closely reflect the specific reality of each PARNA investigated. In this sense, professionals point out the need for the courses to be practical and delivered within the PARNAs, taking into account both the instrumental knowledge required for the professional activity and the specific ecological characteristics of the park, region, biome and ecosystem in which the activities take place. The most claimed courses by the investigated instructors were first aid, second language, and ecological features of the park, region, biome, and ecosystem.

The present study examined the manifestations of Iranian male and female EFL teachers’ use of humor in the classroom environment. To this end, a qualitative study with 30 participants was implemented in two English language institutes in Iran. Equally, 15 male and female EFL teachers were selected by convenience sampling and their classes were audio-recorded and later transcribed for the examination of the types of humor they used and their frequency. Wanzer, Frymier, Wojtaszcyk, and Smith’s (2006) method of humor analysis and categorization of appropriateness was exploited for the analysis of the types of humor collected from the participants of the study. The results suggested that the use of humor by male teachers was more frequent than that of female teachers. It was revealed that 57% of the humor production was by male EFL teachers and 43% was produced by female EFL teachers. The results revealed that the most frequent humor type in male teachers’ classrooms was “funny comments” (27%), with “teasing students” (3%) being the least frequent one. In the case of appropriate humor use, similarly, female teachers used “funny comments” (52%) as the most frequent one, while there was no instance of “providing humorous examples”. Considering inappropriate humor use, both male and female teachers used “funny comments” (45%) as the most frequent type. The findings of the present study can be of use to EFL teachers and suggests the need for workshops and training courses on the integration of humor into EFL classes.

The objective of this research is to see whether entrepreneurship education and training really help nascent entrepreneurs particularly when they try to face the real business. Formal and non-formal entrepreneurship educations are commonly offered in Indonesia nowadays as entrepreneurship has become national campaign. Qualitative approach is used in this research. Multiple case studies methods are used to discover the relationship between entrepreneurship education and the success of nascent entrepreneurs in SMEs development. We asked young entrepreneurs, who were nascent entrepreneurs in West Sumatera-a province in Indonesia. We asked them about the effectiveness of entrepreneurship training and education in determining their success as entrepreneurs. We found that education has contributed positively in terms of motivation, but less benefit in technical ability and practical aspect in business world. These young entrepreneurs define their achievement now as “small win” which can lead them to the next level of success as entrepreneurs.

Abstract Background Considering cancer death is second only to accidental death in the number of lives claimed each year,nurses in paediatric oncology wards often experience helplessness, sadness, frustration and such other adverse emotions when they witness children’s death due to cancer.However,there is a lack of qualitative studies on nurses who witness the death of children in paediatric oncology wards in China. Method A qualitative study was conducted using a semi-structured interview guide with 22 paediatric oncology ward nurses. Interviews were recorded and simultaneously translated and transcribed. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Results The analysis resulted in the identification of three main thematic categories: Different emotional expression, Different copingstrategies, A weak support system. Nursing managers should pay attention to problems faced by nurses in paediatric oncology wards, and take targeted measures in terms of continuing training courses, improving the psychological adaptability of oncology professional nurses, and providing them substantive support. Conclusion Nurses in paediatric oncology wards have strong stress responses to facing the death of children. They reported experiencing complex psychological feelings and have different coping attitudes. Healthcare authorities should recognise and understand the needs of paediatric oncology ward nurses, who often witness the death of children. Appropriate and effective support measures should be planned and implemented for these nurses to maintain their mental health, thus enabling them to better serve patients.

How can problems be turned into something good? We develop and test a theoretical model suggesting that error mastery orientation influences whether problems have positive or negative outcomes. We argue that problems increase or decrease entrepreneurial learning and venture progress depending on error mastery orientation. We tested our theoretical model using a longitudinal design with one baseline measurement and 11 weekly measurements. Analyses were based on 1,016 lagged observations from 168 individuals, who engaged in venture creation as part of entrepreneurship training courses. The results suggest that error mastery orientation functions like a switch, turning problems into something good.
