TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the success of an active learning methodology depends not on methodology alone but, ultimately, on the constantly evolving, dialectical relationship between methodology and learners, mediated by the educator.
Abstract: Picking up from a previous publication in IJLE, the primary objective of this article is to engage in a critical analysis of the concept and practice of ‘active’ (including ‘participatory’) learning as well as the usefulness to educators of ‘active learning methodologies’. Through a review of relevant literature and research, highlighting problems in theory, and an analysis of examples of active learning in practice, the article addresses a number of issues raised by previous attempts to promote active learning. It argues, in conclusion, that while promoting active learning is generally a good thing, the success of an active learning methodology depends not on methodology alone but, ultimately, on the constantly‐evolving, dialectical relationship between methodology and learners, mediated by the educator. Practical implications are that educators need not be over‐obsessed about questions of methodology, though it is important to experiment with new methods and make them a constant focus of discussion betw...

TL;DR: Se concluye that el modelo abre nuevas posibilidades educativas that facilitan the toma of decisiones en materia of salud y estilos of vida saludables.
Abstract: This article analyzes the need for participation of the groups that are the recipients of health messages in order to make health education more effective. Taking the traditional educational approach as the point of departure, the different options for communication and education processes in this field are explored in depth. The participatory communication model, in which the subject plays the role of both transmitter and recipient, leads to the coproduction of health education messages. In light of the experience of the Diabetes Education Program of the National Endocrinology Institute of Cuba, a health education model based on a strategy of interactive communication is presented. Its objective is to develop in the patient the capability to think and decide about his or her health through discussion groups facilitated by a health care provider. In this model, the beneficiaries of the health message help shape its aim and content. The discussion centers on the patient, taking into account his or her real health needs and feelings. The results obtained with this methodology are reviewed, and it is concluded that this model opens new educational possibilities that will facilitate decision-making with regard to health and healthy lifestyles.

TL;DR: Thepropósito del presente trabajo is difundir los principios, the estructura and metodología of this programa educativo, así como las orientaciones más generales para su aplicación en the Atención Primaria de Salud, a fin of contribuir a herramiento efectiva and uniforme in dichos servicios.
Abstract: La diabetología de finales de siglo asumió la idea clara de que no existe tratamiento eficaz de la diabetes sin educación y entrenamiento de su portador. Pero este proceso educativo no siempre se desarrolla de manera sistemática y, muy frecuentemente, adolece de falta de habilidad en ese otro saber hacer que exige cuidar y enseñar a cuidarse. El Programa Nacional de Diabetes del Sistema Nacional de Salud en Cuba, cuenta con un programa de educación que desarrolla de manera continuada la capacitación del personal de salud para realizar esta función educadora, y pone énfasis en el nivel primario de salud, donde se atiende más del 85 % de las personas con diabetes mellitus. Aunque son pocos los trabajos que publiquen, con rigor científico los logros y dificultades que, en este quehacer, han enfrentado las áreas de salud, se conoce que hay un alto porcentaje de personas con diabetes mellitus no incorporadas al proceso educativo, mal controladas y complicadas. En este sentido, el propósito del presente trabajo es difundir los principios, la estructura y metodología de este programa educativo, así como las orientaciones más generales para su aplicación en la Atención Primaria de Salud, a fin de contribuir a su aplicación efectiva y uniforme en dichos servicios, conscientes de que en cada acto de cuidar está implícita la necesidad de enseñar a cuidarse y que solo aquel que aprenda a cuidarse podrá alcanzar una buena calidad de vida.
