Teaching and learning programming can be enhanced by the incorporation of visualization. A system and method that the author created, known as Visual Plan Construct Language (VPCL), incorporates programming visualization for teaching, learning programming, and problem solving. VPCL contains a Plan Library that is accessible through the Web. A user can create and establish a working space and environment on the system to examine VPCL plan library and develop one's own plan library. VPCL consists of three phases: Plan Observation, Plan Integration, and Plan Creation. The observation phase rehearses how a program is broken down into smaller components with their integration relationship. The integration phase concentrates on how two plans are related to each other in building a program. The methods of integration are known as appended, interleaved, branched, and embedded. The creation phase concentrates on how a new plan is built using the existing plans from the plan library.

The spirit of cooperation central to kyosei is a critical component in the creative corners of American music education. This chapter will describe a project that involved the creation of a hybrid space where a music teacher-educator and practitioner worked with pre-service teachers and middle school students to explore teaching and learning music composition. By recasting who is considered an expert, rethinking institutional boundaries, and immersing in project-based learning on multiple levels, teacher education programs and schools can better identify their challenges and explore possible solutions. Though not part of initial program planning, the principles of kyosei were evidenced in the evolution of complex understandings developed prior to and throughout the project, in the inclusive nature of project-based learning by pre-service teachers and music students, and in the professional relationships—and, ultimately, the friendships—that emerged as the teaching-learning community matured.

The the need for greater participation and motivation of university students in the teaching-learning process has led to the concept of project-based learning. By using this methodology, the student works individually and in groups independently, but under the guidance of the teacher. Furthermore, this methodology allows the acquisition of transversal skills with a high level of mastery in subjects of the last year of undergraduate and master degrees. The objective of this work is the design and application of the project-based learning methodology in the subjects of Bioelectronics and Modeling and simulation of bioelectric systems that is capable of integrating the transversal competences "Design and project" (CT05), "Effective communication ”(CT08),“Understanding and integration ”(CT01),“ Analysis and problem solving ”(CT03),“Innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship ”(CT04) and“ Critical thinking ”(CT09), with high levels of mastery. This methodology has been applied throughout the 2019-2020 academic year in these subjects belonging to the Degree in Industrial Electronic and Automatic Engineering and the Master of Biomedical Engineering, respectively, from the Universitat Politècnica de València. The assessment of the students has been very positive and the acquisition of transversal skills has been very satisfactory.

Neste trabalho, discutimos a avaliação como parte do processo ensino-aprendizagem. Até a década de 80, as provas escritas, sendo elas discursivas ou objetivas, eram o elemento central do processo de avaliação, sendo consideradas o único método para se avaliar. Porém, a partir da década de 90, a comunidade educacional começou a perceber que a avaliação deveria ir além do seu caráter classificatório passando a ser um procedimento diagnóstico e somativo. Para isso, a avaliação deve estar aliada aos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, sendo um processo bem mais abrangente denominado Ensino-Aprendizagem-Avaliação (ONUCHIC; ALLEVATO, 2011). Dessa maneira, faz-se necessário repensarmos as práticas em sala de aula e buscarmos alternativas que integrem esses três importantes mecanismos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi verificar a funcionalidade de um método de avaliação que promova a aprendizagem dos alunos. Relatamos uma experiência de avaliação realizada com alunos dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, utilizando a Avaliação por observação com intervenção imediata no ensino de Ciências aliada ao método de Resolução de problemas. Apesar desse método de avaliação ainda ser pouco utilizado, principalmente no Ensino fundamental, concluímos que é uma metodologia eficaz de avaliação que pode ser utilizada na promoção da aprendizagem, inclusive no ensino de Ciências. Palavras-chave: Avaliação. Ensino-Aprendizagem-Avaliação. Resolução de problemas.   Integrated evaluation of the teaching-learning process in science: a proposal applied to the final years of elementary school Abstract In this article, the evaluate as component of the teaching-learning process was discussed. Until the 1980s, written tests (whether discursive or objective), were the central element for the evaluation process, being considered the unique method for this purpose. However, from the 90's, the educational community realized that the evaluation should overcome its classificatory character, becoming a diagnostic and summative procedure. For this purpose, the evaluation must be connected to the teaching and learning processes, as a much more comprehensive process, namely Teaching-Learning-Assessment (Onuchic; Allevato, 2011). In this sense, it's necessary to rethink classroom practices, and look for alternatives that could integrate these three important mechanisms. In this way, the aim of the present paper was to verify the functionality of an evaluation method, which could promotes students learning. It was reported an evaluation experience with the final years of Elementary School students, using the Observation Assessment with immediate intervention in the Sciences teaching, associated to the Problem Solving method. Although this evaluation method is not largely used, mainly in Elementary School, this assessment methodology was reported as effective, which can be employed to promote learning,  including in Science teaching. Keywords: Evaluate. Teaching-Learning-Assessment. Problem Solving method.

Chemistry learning in high school that trains and develops students’ self-sufficiency and independence has not been done optimally because learners still depend on getting information and knowledge from teachers. Problem-based learning method used in the teaching and learning process is expected to facilitate students’ with self-reliance and learning independence. This method is a problem-oriented learning method that makes students be accustomed to solving problems in order to train their ability in discoveringa concept in the learning process. Teaching learning process with PBL model is done for the subject matter of acid & base solution and electrolyte & non electrolyte solution. Learning independence assessed in this study were self-management, motivation, and confidence. The data of the study were in the form of descriptive quantitative data and analyzed using Anava / Anacova test. The research findings showed that there was a difference of students’ learning independence through the application of problem-based learning method and control method in teaching and learning process.

Background: Transfer of knowledge from teachers to students traditionally occurs in one direction using blackboards, overhead projectors, power-point presentations and lectures. It has many disadvantages. The main challenge in medical education is to teach surgical skills. For the learning of critical interventions, simulation-based training is structured so that the acquisition of new skills does not harm patients. Thus, the objective of this study was to enhance and improve procedural skills of resident doctors of Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of Government Medical College, Miraj using cadaver simulation in doing abdominal hysterectomy.Methods: Second year resident doctors from Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of GMC, Miraj who had completed their first year successfully in terms of basic orientation regarding surgical procedures were taken for study purpose. They were divided in two groups randomly. The first group underwent conventional method of teaching to learn the abdominal hysterectomy procedure and underwent feedback from them regarding the conventional teaching learning method. Then they were allowed to perform the procedure on a live patient and their performance of procedural skill was assessed by DOPS. (Direct observation of procedural skills). The second group underwent innovative method of use of cadaver simulation for the abdominal hysterectomy procedure and feedback on the same. They were allowed to perform the procedure on a live patient and their performance of procedural skill was assessed by DOPS. (Direct observation of procedural skills). All data was collected, analysed and processed to study the outcome of research project.Results: In group B, all resident were fully satisfied with newer method of teaching and learning for abdominal hysterectomy as surgical procedure. As far as, the advantages and disadvantages of teaching and learning are concerned, all residents pointed out large number of disadvantages in the conventional method. Evaluation of the surgical procedural skill was done by DOPS by senior faculty members of the department as per the questionnaire which showed good performance from group B.Conclusions: The benefit of simulation based medical education (SBME) is that it offers both learners and patients a safe environment for practice and error. In addition, SBME can provide a learning cycle of debriefing and feedback for learners as well as assessment and certification for procedures and competency.

The USherbrooke Faculty of Engineering is recognized as a leader in innovation and research in engineering education. The Université de Sherbrooke was the second university in Canada to offer co-op programs for its students in 1966 and is now among the top 10 higher education institutions in North America for the significance of its co-op system. The faculty of engineering was the first in Canada to offer an undergraduate mechanical engineering program based on professional competencies with design as the ultimate competency integration activity - the backbone of the entire program. In 2001, we introduced completely redesigned electrical and computer engineering programs based on two complementary frameworks. The first one is a competency-based framework used to have a better alignment between teaching/learning activities, program objectives and competences development. The second one, called the learning framework, introduces a paradigm shift from passive to active learning methodologies with the deployment of problem and project based learning situations. Over the years, the faculty of engineering has developed many original approaches to both design of curriculum and faculty organisation. We also developed considerable expertise to improve teaching and learning especially integration of curriculum elements, the development of team skills and of a professional culture, the use of design projects extending over more than one year with links to industry, the use of portfolio to track competencies development, active learning environment such as problem and project-based learning and in utilising novel assessment techniques to improve learning. All these initiatives have been made possible by creating winning conditions to involve faculty members in pedagogical research activities and implementation methodologies. To do that we provided institutional financial support (faculty, university), encouragement, teaching load relief, recognition of faculty involvement in tenure and promotion, professional support for CEAB accreditation requirements, etc.
