Los enfoques pedagógicos actuales le entregan al estudiante un rol activo en los procesos de aprendizaje. El docente es un facilitador que interviene y colabora en los procesos de aprendizaje. En este sentido, los estilos de aprendizaje surgen como una herramienta pedagógica valiosa tanto para el alumno como para el docente. Estos se encuentran estrechamente relacionados con la forma en que los estudiantes aprenden, los profesores enseñan y cómo ambos interactúan en la relación de enseñanza aprendizaje. Desde el punto de vista de una propuesta pedagógica, el modelo de estilos de aprendizaje de Kolb los clasifica en Activo, Reflexivo, Teórico y Pragmático. El presente trabajo plantea el estudio de los estilos de aprendizaje de estudiantes y docentes de primer y segundo año de la carrera de Medicina Veterinaria, Universidad Santo Tomás, en Concepción, Chile, mediante la aplica...

The current pedagogical approaches place in the student an active role in the learning process. The teacher is a facilitator who intervenes and helps in the learning process. In this sense, the learning styles emerge as a valuable pedagogical tool for both students and for teachers. They are closely related to the way students learn, to the teachers teaching style and how both interact in the teaching-learning relationship. From the point of view of a pedagogical approach, the model of Kolb’s learning styles classifies them as Active, Reflective, Theoretical, and Pragmatic. The present study identifies the learning styles of students and teachers in the first and second year of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Santo Tomas, in Concepción, Chile by applying the Honey and Alonso learning styles questionnaire (CHAEA). The questionnaire was applied to all students (n=39) and teache...

Purpose: Latin America faces a shortage in radiation therapy (RT) units and qualified personnel for timely and high-quality treatment of patients with cancer. Investing in equitable and inclusive access to RT over the next decade would prevent thousands of deaths. Measuring the investment gap and payoff is necessary for stakeholder discussions and capacity planning efforts. Methods and Materials: Data were collected from the International Atomic Energy Agency's Directory of Radiotherapy Centers, industry stakeholders, and individual surveys sent to national scientific societies. Nationwide data on available devices and personnel were compiled. The 10 most common cancers in 2020 with RT indication and their respective incidence rates were considered for gap calculations. The gross 2-year financial return on investment was calculated based on an average monthly salary across Latin America....
