This study aims to analyze the association between problem-solving and posing and its potential to promote learning and aid in understanding students' mathematical thinking. To this end, a qualitative case study was carried out involving elementary Grades 1-5' students in the solving of a problem that was adapted to generate different learning outcomes related to the division operation as well as associating the posing of problems with the request to add a question to the problem. The results confirm the importance of teachers' fostering of discussions and understanding students' mathematical thinking; they also reveal that difficulty in interpreting the problem statement may not always be the reason for students not providing a solution. In addition, the data shows the potential of problem posing to deepen or advance the learning that results from problem-solving. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite its countless benefits, it is a fact that one of the greatest difficulties that the Unified Health System faces is related to the shortage of doctors. Bearing in mind that a series of issues can influence the students' decision about which workspaces they want to work in, investigating these influences can contribute significantly to the development of measures, policies, strategies, which contribute to attract more professionals to the public service. Therefore, this study aimed to show that factors explain the intention of the medical student to choose to work in the SUS and to verify if there are differences in this intention between students graduating from the Interdisciplinary Bachelor in Health and those who do not have BIS as a previous graduation. For this purpose, questionnaires were applied to 438 students and the SPSS software was used for data processing. From this, it was identified that family income, receiving student aid and methodological experiences with clinical cases, medical narratives and theater are influencing factors in this choice. Regarding the influence of income, it is believed that the view of the profession as a method of social ascension may be one of the justifications. Meanwhile, regarding methodological experiences, it is believed that using creative strategies is fundamental. Thus, it is believed that this study can contribute to the design of health education and training policies that consider such information, and in this way, can encourage students to choose SUS as a work space, helping to strengthen it.

Physical analogies aid students to transfer knowledgment from familiar phenomena to more abstract physical concepts, specially when the mathematics is similar. Here we present an interesting analogy between linear elastic fields and its governing equations and the more abstract electromagnetic fields. For this, we define the elastic E and B fields, and show that the Navier-Cauchy elastodynamic equation can be put in the form of four Maxwelllike equations. We also introduce a elastic potential vector A and a elastic scalar potential φ. Of course, the analogy only works in the rest reference frame of the elastic medium, but it seems pedagogical because students easily imagine elastic waves (displacement waves u(r, t) in an elastic material) but have dificulty to visualize electromagnetic fields. We also show that, although the elastic vector potential A is not gauge invariant, the displacement u = AVk + A is gauge invariant (as a measurable physical quantity should be), where the scalar field k is related to φ by φ 1 dtK.
