OBJECTIVE: To identify and map the serious games that are produced to teach nursing. METHOD: This is a scoping review. Data collection took place in March 2017, in 14 national and international databases. The following indicators were used for data extraction: year of publication, country of origin, objective of the study, classification of the serious games, thematic area addressed by the serious games, and main results. RESULTS: The sample consisted of seven articles. The studies were published between 2011 and 2017, and six (85.7%) were produced in Brazil. The subjects addressed by the serious games were mental health, patient safety, neonatology care, child health, drug administration, and arterial gasometry. CONCLUSION: The serious games produced for teaching nursing addressed different related themes: mental health, child health, neonatology, patient safety, drug administration, and arterial gasometry

Does a presentation's medium affect its message? PowerPoint, Prezi, and oral presentations.

Despite the prevalence of PowerPoint in professional and educational presentations, surprisingly little is known about how effective such presentations are. All else being equal, are PowerPoint presentations better than purely oral presentations or those that use alternative software tools? To address this question we recreated a real-world business scenario in which individuals presented to a corporate board. Participants (playing the role of the presenter) were randomly assigned to create PowerPoint, Prezi, or oral presentations, and then actually delivered the presentation live to other participants (playing the role of corporate executives). Across two experiments and on a variety of dimensions, participants evaluated PowerPoint presentations comparably to oral presentations, but evaluated Prezi presentations more favorably than both PowerPoint and oral presentations. There was some evidence that participants who viewed different types of presentations came to different conclusions about the business scenario, but no evidence that they remembered or comprehended the scenario differently. We conclude that the observed effects of presentation format are not merely the result of novelty, bias, experimenter-, or software-specific characteristics, but instead reveal a communication preference for using the panning-and-zooming animations that characterize Prezi presentations.

La gestión del aula: Una herramienta para la inclusión del alumnado con síndrome de Down / No disponible

Para responder a la diversidad es preciso mejorar las prácticas de aula y las medidas organizativas de los centros educativos. La gestión del aula puede ser, en sí misma, una medida que favorezca la inclusión escolar del alumnado con síndrome de Down. Dentro del marco de las que hemos denominado adaptaciones curriculares de aula, el presente artículo intenta proporcionar al maestro de aula o tutor formas de actuación en la clase que sean aplicables al grupo de alumnos en conjunto, de manera que el niño con síndrome de Down sea uno más y que no requiera de ninguna medida diferente, salvo las derivadas de su propio estilo de aprendizaje

To attend educative diversity requires engaging in both classroom activities and organizational program in the whole school. Proper management in the classroom, per se, contributes to the inclusion of the student with Down syndrome. In the context of the curricular adaptations we have previously proposed, this article describes many activities which may help teachers to offer to all students in their classrooms, even if no other special educator is present in the room. In this way, the child with Down syndrome will be no exception and will receive adequate inputs, as long as his learning style is secured and properly used

[HYGIENIC REGULATION OF THE USE OF ELECTRONIC EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN THE MODERN SCHOOL].

We studied the effect of academic studies with the use a notebook computer and interactive whiteboard on the functional state of an organism of schoolchildren. Using a complex of hygienic and physiological methods of the study we established that regulation of the computer activity of students must take into account not only duration but its intensity either. Design features of a notebook computer were shown both to impede keeping the optimal working posture in primary school children and increase the risk offormation of disorders of vision and musculoskeletal system. There were established the activating influence of the interactive whiteboard on performance activities and favorable dynamics of indices of the functional state of the organism of students under keeping optimal density of the academic study and the duration of its use. There are determined safety regulations of the work of schoolchildren with electronic resources in the educational process.

The effect of format on parents' understanding of the risks and benefits of clinical research: a comparison between text, tables, and graphics.

There is a paucity of information regarding the optimal method of presenting risk/benefit information to parents of pediatric research subjects. This study, therefore, was designed to examine the effect of different message formats on parents' understanding of research risks and benefits. An Internet-administered survey was completed by 4,685 parents who were randomized to receive risk/benefit information about a study of pediatric postoperative pain control presented in different message formats (text, tables, and pictographs). Survey questions assessed participants' gist and verbatim understanding of the information and their perceptions of the risks and benefits. Pictographs were associated with significantly (p < .05) greater likelihood of adequate gist and verbatim understanding compared with text and tables regardless of the participants' numeracy. Parents who received the information in pictograph format perceived the risks to be lower and the benefits to be higher compared with the other formats (p < .001). Furthermore, compared with text and tables, pictographs were perceived as more "effective," "helpful," and "trustworthy" in presenting risk/benefit information. These results underscore the difficulties associated with presenting risk/benefit information for clinical research but suggest a simple method for enhancing parents' informed understanding of the relevant statistics.

Indexing method of digital audiovisual medical resources with semantic Web integration.

Digitalization of audio-visual resources combined with the performances of the networks offer many possibilities which are the subject of intensive work in the scientific and industrial sectors. Indexing such resources is a major challenge. Recently, the Motion Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) has been developing MPEG-7, a standard for describing multimedia content. The good of this standard is to develop a rich set of standardized tools to enable fast efficient retrieval from digital archives or filtering audiovisual broadcasts on the internet. How this kind of technologies could be used in the medical context? In this paper, we propose a simpler indexing system, based on Dublin Core standard and complaint to MPEG-7. We use MeSH and UMLS to introduce conceptual navigation. We also present a video-platform with enables to encode and give access to audio-visual resources in streaming mode.

Evaluation of motivation methods used to obtain appropriate oral hygiene levels in schoolchildren.

The aim of the present study is to assess the behaviour of different motivation methods on levels of oral hygiene among schoolchildren aged from 7 to 9 years in Araraquara, SP, Brazil. The methods tested were: indirect instruction using 'The Smiling Robot' (group I), indirect instruction through class presentation (group II) and direct instruction with macromodels (group III). A control group was also constituted, which received no kind of motivation (group IV). The O'Leary Plaque Index was used as the evaluation method, applied before the instruction and 30 days after application of the different methods. It was noted that the plaque index had not decreased in group IV only. In conclusion, all the motivation methods promoted significant decrease of plaque index and among these methods, the 'The Smiling Robot' was the one that provided the best results.
