Education, Age and Gender: Critical Factors in Determining Interventions for Child Brick Workers in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Working in factories fashioning bricks by hand seems the epitome of hazardous child labor. Yet, efforts to remove children from this work have shown little success; impoverished families balance the value of their children's contribution against the risks they see. Unfortunately, psychosocial impacts are often not visible, and are rarely taken into consideration when designing interventions.

Focusing on explicit debriefing for novice learners in healthcare simulations: A randomized prospective study.

Introduction: Debriefing is essential in simulation-based training, but it is not clear what exactly constitutes a successful debriefing session. Research in educational sciences shows that a structured, explicit and trainer-directed approach is systematically more effective than an implicit, reflective approach with minimal guidance, particularly for novice or intermediate learners. The aim of this study is to compare explicit strongly trainer-guided debriefing with implicit and weakly guided debriefing in nursing training.

A new method for studying the halo effect in teachers' judgement and its antecedents: Bringing out the role of certainty.

Background: In academic contexts, teachers' judgements are central to instruction and have many consequences for students' self-perceptions. Understanding the cognitive biases that may exist in teachers' judgements is thus of central importance.

Aims: This paper presents two studies in which we aimed to investigate the presence of a halo effect in teachers' judgements (Study 1 and Study 2) and to clarify the conditions for the emergence of this halo effect by analysing the influence of judgement certainty (Study 2).

The Impact of Full-Scale Simulation Training Based on Kolb's Learning Cycle on Medical Prehospital Emergency Teams: A Multilevel Assessment Study.

Introduction: Using simulation to train teams in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest management is recommended to improve team effectiveness. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a specific cardiac arrest management simulation training program inspired by the principles of Kolb's learning cycle.

Method: All the staff in a medical prehospital emergency unit participated in this program.

[Inside the French reform of nursing education: a survey of faculty members].

Changing societal health care needs has led the Ministry of Health to rethink the paramedical courses. European harmonization was needed to set up this training with the LMD system within a university scheme. Based on this new paradigm, an educational reform consisting of a competency-based approach was implemented, leading to major modifications in the function of a trainer.
