Objective:
to develop and validate a short guide for the protocol to user embracement with risk classification in pediatrics.
Method:
methodological study developed in two stages: development of the guide, and face and content validation. The development involved the stratification of the protocol contents into five risk indicators according to the level of complexity; subsequently it was submitted to validation by nine experts divided in two groups: professors who were also researchers, and nurses.
Results:
in the face validation the experts considered the 25 items of the guide clear and understandable, with agreement levels above 70%. In the content validation, 17 (68%) items were considered relevant by 88.9% of the experts. The eight items considered irrelevant were changed according to suggestions of the experts, yielding an overall content validity index of 0.98.
Conclusion:
the study resulted in a guide for the classification of risks in pediatrics that is valid to assess children in emergency services.

Objective:
to identify key components of the social learning theory in a computational tool to aid in teaching the reasoning process for the preparation of a nursing diagnosis.
Method:
qualitative study that analyzed the statements collected through a focus group of 18 teachers and students from two Brazilian nursing schools.
Results:
the themes were grouped into four categories related to the components of the theory and into 13 subcategories.
Conclusion:
the meaning of learning can be extended by the teacher’s didactics and corroborated by the relationship between systematization and reasoning. To learn by doing, some prerequisites are required as is a process of motivation and qualification, which are also inherent to learning by forming an identity in the group. In the feeling of belonging to a particular group, aspects related to the profession become visible as opposed to the aspects of belonging to a community of practice of learning.
