This text presents a way of using paper theatre in regional education. Derived from the Japanese tradition called kamishibai, the theatre is a combination of visual art and storytelling. The ...historical path it has followed to become rooted in the contemporary education (especially dedicated to preschool and early school children) is described in the first part of the article. Further considerations are related to the research which aimed at learning the strategy for creating paper theatres by teachers of Łódź schools and kindergartens, and by the students of the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Łódź who specialize in early school and preschool education, and who are involved in the project: "Kamishibai in regional education" (organized by the Łódź Centre for Teacher Training and Practical Education). I analysed 62 projects (prepared in the form of charts and texts, or in the form of recorded films) that were made available by the participants on the Moodle and MS Teams platform. The applied research methods (analysis of documents and nondirective interview) allowed me to discuss the choice of literary material and the potential and limitations of the kamishibai method. Eventually, they made it possible for me to describe the strategy for designing paper theaters, which are to popularize contact with the art of the word of the Lodz region.
Lean management tools have proven effective in achieving high reliability in health care.
Unstructured leader rounds, decentralized prevention bundle repositories, and unfavorable patient experience ...outcomes prompted leaders on a thoracic and cardiovascular surgery unit to find other methods to address these issues and positively impact outcomes.
Nurse sensitive indicator prevention bundles, root cause analysis tools, and best practices were used to develop Kamishibai Cards (K-Cards) for each measure targeted.
K-Cards were implemented to standardize processes, engage patients in their care, and promote staff identification of barriers and solutions.
Nurse-sensitive indicators and patient experience metrics were positively impacted by Kamishibai Rounding. K-Cards promote a state of continuous improvement, which supports sustainability of evidence-based practice and best practices that were implemented.
K-Cards use high-reliability principles to standardize nursing practice to promote quality outcomes.
The Kamishibai Card (K-Card) process is a storytelling methodology designed to help identify barriers and remove or redesign them.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the ...K-Card process for central venous line (CVL) maintenance bundle compliance in a pediatric intensive care unit.
A retrospective evaluation of the implementation of the K-Card process was performed using a pretest and posttest design.
A total of 1003 central venous catheter maintenance observations were completed during the study period. A statistically significant change was noted in one element of the CVL maintenance bundle, tubing timed and dated. The most frequent cause for noncompliance with the CVL maintenance bundle was incomplete communication during handoff, followed by device associated factors (failure of device, use of device, and availability of device).
The K-Card process had a positive impact on CVL maintenance bundle compliance in the study setting.
The use of "Caring Cards" is a unique innovation, which builds on reliable Lean processes. It adds the way we emotionally care for people to a Lean methodology. This article describes how the ...foundational constructs of nursing theory are paired with aspects of universal fall precautions. In a pilot prioritizing Caring Cards, conversations between leaders and staff provide a way for the nurse to describe his or her critical thinking about fall prevention that is individualized to a patient. Leaders collect information on barriers to care and demonstrate follow-up actions to staff members who raise concerns. The system allows for structured leader and staff interactions that are coaching and mentoring in nature. These support an environment where nurses care for patients, while leaders also care for staff. By partnering Lean methodology with the heart of nursing, patient care can be improved. The pilot project utilizing this methodology was performed on a neurological unit. It resulted in a dramatic reduction in falls. The unassisted patient fall rate per 1000 patient-days dropped from 11.60 to 5.81 falls, a 50% reduction.
In the face of the migration crisis in Europe in 2015, discussions on refugees and emigrants who live in Poland have been dominated by stereotypes and negative images presented by the media, and the ...division into supporters and opponents of the “Others” have also become highly visible in schools. The lack of topics in the field of global education and of knowledge about the current situation of African countries has contributed to the increase in xenophobic attitudes among pupils, and to all sorts of manifestations of verbal and physical violence motivated by prejudices against people who stand out because of their appearance or origin. The Encountering the Other project, which has been run by the Artykuł 25 Foundation and the National Museum in Szczecin since 2014, attempts to reply to the lack in Poland of a social basis of sensitivity, respect and solidarity with people of different geographical and cultural backgrounds. Its main aim is to allow primary, middle and secondary school pupils to acquire knowledge about the Countries of the Global South, which may encourage them to revise their attitudes. The basis of the project is classes in school which are based on our own script prepared from a lecture by Ryszard Kapuściński, Encountering the Other: the challenge for the 21st century, which he gave upon receiving the title of doctor honoris causa from the Jagiellonian University. The National Museum in Szczecin plays an important role in the project. It runs classes for students which show them the old art and culture of West-African countries and their influence on European art, but also presents works by contemporary artists from Benin, Nigeria and the Republic of South Africa. As part of the Week of Global Education, the museum presents documentaries for children and teens from the Docs Against Gravity Festival, and there are workshops using the kamishibai theatre and discussions on mutual understanding and global interdependence. The project is complemented by a conference targeted at teachers and representatives of organisations working with children and teens, whose main aim is to provide knowledge on the contemporary culture and art of African countries, and to show good practices for counteracting discrimination and violence motivated by prejudice. The Encountering the Other project aims to counteract prejudice and stereotypes, to show a different image of the Countries of the Global South, to convince children, teenagers and teachers to make their social attitudes more responsible, which would be of key importance on shaping trends today or in the future, and to incorporate global issues into mainstream discussions.
Este texto tem como objetivo analisar práticas de escrita colaborativa plurilingue em contexto de educação formal e informal, nomeadamente, com recurso ao kamishibai plurilingue e questionar as suas ...potencialidades educativas, enquanto ferramenta pedagógica de valorização da escrita colaborativa e de consciencialização da diversidade linguística. O corpus é composto por 16 narrativas plurilingues ilustradas, kamishibais plurilingues, escritas colaborativamente por alunos dos 6 aos 10 anos que participaram na 1.ª edição do concurso nacional kamishibai plurilingue (edição 2018/2019) e as reflexões dos 16 professores/educadores que orientaram a construção do kamishibai plurilingue. Os resultados obtidos mostram que, com a realização do kamishibai plurilingue e do trabalho colaborativo, os alunos descobriram uma nova forma de produzir textos, de ilustrar histórias e de aprender em interação. Além disso, foi possível constatar que, através da escrita e dos diferentes tempos criativos, as crianças desenvolvem a sua competência linguística na língua de escolarização e experimentam a intercompreensão e a alteridade através da descoberta de outras línguas e, assim, outras visões do mundo.
Marie S. Curie is one of the scientific legends of the 20th century. However, it is not well-known that she was a great science educator. She taught her original science lessons that is recorded in ...“Leçons de Marie Curie” by Isabelle Chavannes, to approximately ten children aged 9～13 from 1907 to 1908. It demonstrates how she was an innovative science educator, and facilitated young students to learn successfully. In her lessons, attention was carefully paid to the students understanding the principles and concept behind phenomena. It is surprising how easily she gave explanations of difficult concepts, principles and theorems to the students. The experiments were not just for demonstration. Without principles experiments are worth nothing.I have devoted to elucidate her methodologies of science education based on the records in “Leçons de Marie Curie”, and tried to revive them. I will also report the science show programs with KAMISHIBAI (the Japanese story telling with pictures) to stimulate young girls for STEM since 2002.I advocate Marie Curie teaching method by adapting modern devices for extracurricular activities in science at school. As Michael Faraday’s The Chemical History of a Candle , Marie Curie’s “Leçons de Marie Curie” is the Science Education Heritage.
Kamishibai is a kind of popular storytelling style in Japan. It is pointed out that children themselves author and perform kamishibai is of educational significance. However, there are few attempts ...due to difficulty of authoring kamishibai by themselves without any helps. We developed a digital kami-shibai system and carried out a workshop for the evaluation. In this workshop, children were easily able to author and perform digital kamishibai by themselves, and various works were created. Furthermore, communications among participants were promoted through the workshop. Evaluation results showed that proposed system achieved the educational effects of kami-shibai for children in an easier way with aid of computers.
