This review article and theoretical analysis is derived from multicentric research "Disciplinary knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and situated learning: genesis and mutual influences on university education", developed with Faculties of Health Sciences and Education in Universities of Spain, Brazil, Colombia and Chile. It aims to deepen the epistemological, theoretical and methodological perspective of the study as an innovative route in qualitative research, therefore, the epistemological foundations of Symbolic Interactionism are presented, which is based on the understanding of society through communication and allows to give meaning to human processes, such as the dialogical processes between teachers and students, analyzing the repercussions that it has on their learning. The theoretical perspective of the Ethnography of Communication that focuses on the analysis of the sociolinguistic patterns with which people interact, being a priority to know the meaning of verbal and non-verbal communication in this situation; and the microethnographic methodological perspective that achieves an understanding of the verbal and social interactions between teachers and students, through non-participant observations and "Think aloud" interviews.

Objectives: To describe how the processes of reflective thinking emerge in the nurse student in face of clinical situations in their clinical practicum. Method: Qualitative research, hermeneutical-phenomenological made in the subject Hospital Practicum II during the clinical practicum to eleven nursing students at a Faculty of Nursing and a University Hospital of Barcelona (Spain), from February 2011 to February 2012.The data collection strategies were: participant observation, non-participant observation, informal discussion, in-depth interviews and written materials. For the data analysis, the method of constant comparisons by Strauss and Corbin was applied. Results: The emerging qualitative axis was: Convergence of meanings between student and nurse regarding competent nursing care; and the resulting metacategory was: thoughtful student thinking with subsequent categories: perceptiveness and consciousness regarding the needs of others; epistemological curiosity; operative care; anticipation: reflective conversation in action; and finally reflexive imitation. Conclusions: Deliberative observation, operational attention, reflective conversation about action and in it, epistemological curiosity and reflective imitation, emerge gradually and in accordance to the quality of continuity and the student interaction with the different elements of their clinical practicum; these reflective processes foster in the student the opportunity to reflect, interpret and give meaning to their own practice.

Objective: to identify competency strengths and weaknesses as perceived by nursing professionals who graduated with a integrated curriculum and competency-based through Problem Based Learning in small groups. Method: an intrinsic case study method was used, which analyzes this innovation through former students (from the first class) with three years of professional experience. The data were collected through a questionnaire and discussion groups. Results: the results show that their competency level is valued in a very satisfactory manner. This level paradoxically contrasts with the lack of theoretical knowledge they perceived at the end of their education, when they started working in clinical practice. Conclusions: the teaching strategy was key to motivate an in-depth study and arouse the desire to know. In addition, Problem Based Learning favors and reinforces the decision to learn, which is that necessary in the course of professional life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
