Category | Class 1 + 2 n (%) | Class 1 n (%) | Class 2 n (%) | Examples |
---|---|---|---|---|
Relevant or highly relevant | 75 (83%) | 37 (86%) | 38 (80%) | “I consider it of utmost importance for the current moment." and "Yes, I find it very relevant to address such topics because we live with climate change and, therefore, with its consequences in various aspects of our lives, such as health.” |
Comments on Knowledge Gain | 18 | 8 | 10 | “(…) "greatly enhancing the potential for academic and human development of the students." and "I was able to see the extent of the impact of planetary health on patients' lives." |
Comments on Innovation and Surprise | 7 | 4 | 3 | “The project is very cool and innovative! It's a subject I wouldn't have known about otherwise.", "It plays an important role in introducing us to a medical and citizen approach that hadn't been explored before.” |
Praises | 5 | 0 | 5 | “I must commend the thinkers behind this project(…)!", and "It was executed perfectly.” |
Comments on Gratitude | 3 | 3 | 0 | “Thank you for the learning opportunity and the experience.” |
Slightly or Moderately Relevant | 12 (13.3%) | 4 (9.3%) | 8 (17%) | Justifications: 4 for methodological reasons, 4 without explanation, 2 thinking that the topic isn't very relevant in medicine, 1 for already being familiar with the topic, and 1 for reporting little learning plus methodological critique: "[PH] should only be investigated in patients due to high exposure to factors, without the need to ask much about it.", "(…) I believe that most of these discussions belong to other areas of knowledge" and "Concern for the environment is a much more constant agenda for 21st-century youth than for those born in the twentieth century. In this sense, presenting global health as an important aspect seems more like a recollection of what has already been studied than a new perspective." |
Not relevant | 3 (3.3%) | 0 (0%) | 3 (6.3%) | Student justifications related to methodological aspects |
