Integrating academic medical education into vocational general practitioner training: how do these combined training posts impact on subsequent career paths?

ABSTRACT Background In the UK, to encourage academic careers, extended education posts (EEPs) exist, where standard three-year, general practice vocational training is extended, offering trainees dedicated time to spend in another specialty such as medical education (Med Ed). Little is known about whether this impacts positively on their subsequent careers. Aims To explore general practitioners’ (GPs’) experiences and career trajectories after undertaking Med Ed EEPs. Method Twenty-eight GPs who completed a Med Ed EEP between 2013 and 2021 were invited to participate. Semi-structured interviews were held virtually. Transcripts were coded with NVivo software and underwent thematic analysis using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase framework to ensure a reiterative process of internal validation. Results Eight GPs took part. All were working as NHS GPs, alongside other roles. Four themes emerged: ‘growing as an academic educator’, ‘research can be interesting’, ‘the academic environment’ and ‘juggling multiple roles is stressful’. Most were still teaching, involved in research and had undertaken formal Med Ed training. Role models and immersion in academic teams were influential. Significant tensions and stresses were experienced when balancing multiple roles. The absence of ongoing academic training tracks contributed to this. Conclusion EEPs impact positively on academic career development and the acquisition of appropriate skills. However, managing multiple roles is challenging and stressful. Short-term university contracts, difficulties obtaining flexible working and resultant lack of partnership or salaried clinical work highlight an urgent need to explore fixed academic training pathways after vocational training, if sustainable recruitment into primary care academia is to be achieved.

Transformation of the Competencies of Students of a Pedagogical University in the Process of Organizing Professional and Mobile Practice

To the problem statement. The article deals with the problem of training profes-sional and pedagogical personnel, which does not meet the modern requirements of professional ed-ucation of future teachers, who are called upon to teach students of the secondary vocational educa-tion system after graduating from a vocational pedagogical university. The basis of this problem is the duality of the content of the activity of teachers, who need to possess not only psychological and pedagogical competencies, but also to master the experience of professional activity in working specialties. This requires a comprehensive transformation of the psychological, pedagogical and professional production competencies of the future teacher of the vocational education system. The purpose of the article is to show that in a professionally oriented environment, the trans-formation of competencies, the complex professional and personal formation of the future teacher of the secondary vocational education system (SPE) is more successfully carried out. The author of the article suggests a solution to this problem through the organization of an industrial practice, which he modernizes as a professionally mobile practice. R. H. Iskhakov argues that the professional personal quality formed in the conditions of this type of practice as professional mobility will contribute to the transformation of the psychological, pedagogical and professional production competencies of the future teacher of the vocational education system. Professional mobility is becoming one of the key conditions for the transformation of the competencies of a future teacher of vocational education. The author of the article presents the basic concepts of transformation and professional mobility at a sufficient and necessary level in the context of the article. The article has scientific and methodological significance, as it presents the methodology of organizing professional and mobile practice. Not only types of practices are presented. but also elective courses that students master before starting the practice itself. Successful organization of professional and mobile practice is possible on the basis of a dual approach to the organization of training – mutual cooperation between representatives of the university and educational organizations of vocational education, on the basis of which the above–mentioned practice of students of a vocational pedagogical university is conducted. In this collaboration, the important role of the master mentor is defined. This concept has been tested in the context of scientific research, the results of which the au-thor presented in the article. The level of formation of professional mobility among students in the conditions of scientific research will be determined by integral criteria: communicative, research competence and adaptability Conclusion. The professional development of a modern teacher largely depends on professional mobility, adaptability, the need for self-improvement, readiness and ability to master new competencies, which is due to rapid changes in personal and professional qualities and types of activity.

Online occupational therapy group training for mothers of children with feeding problems: A randomized controlled trial.

The aim of this study was to scrutinize how online occupational therapy group training for mothers influenced their attitudes and stress levels relating to feeding their children and the eating behaviours of the children. The secondary purpose of the study is to evaluate the satisfaction of the participants of this program. Twenty-nine mothers of children aged 3-6 years, experiencing feeding issues, were randomly allocated to either an intervention or control group. Feeding problems including selective eating, loss of appetite, and mealtime behaviour problems are prevalent during childhood. Parents play a fundamental role in acquiring knowledge about feeding. Problems in the feeding process may lead to parental stress, feelings of despair, and incorrect attitudes. The mothers in the research group participated in the 4-week training. Results indicated positive effects on both maternal attitudes and their children's eating behaviours (p < 0.05). No significant change was found in mothers' state and trait anxiety levels (p > 0.05). Participants were asked to score their satisfaction level with the program between 1 and 10, and the average of the scores was 9.78 ± 0.42. This study shows that online group education for mothers can support existing treatments and guide clinicians working with children with feeding problems.

Impacts of Education Quality Perception on Profession Change Tendency: The Mediating Role of Career Decidedness

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the effects of education quality perception on career process. The positive developments in tourism flows cause tourism employment to gain importance as an economic phenomenon day by day. However, negativities in matters such as working conditions and personal rights reveal an important problem such as employee turnover rates for tourism employment. It can be concluded that education quality is an important factor in both meeting the qualified personnel need of the tourism industry and decreasing the personnel turnover rate. In the study in which quantitative research methods were used, the questionnaire was preferred as the data collection tool. A total of 436 questionnaires were obtained from tourism students in Turkey. The research revealed the linear relationship between education quality perception and career decidedness.

Decentralisation, subsidiarity and capacity development for local governments in francophone West Africa

ABSTRACT There is an obvious general trend towards decentralisation in West Africa. This leads to changes in administrative structure. In this article, we develop and elaborate on a point that is often overlooked in decentralisation reform, namely local government capacity. We present empirical evidence from local governments in three francophone West African countries: Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. For local administrations to effectively deliver services, a sufficiently qualified staff is needed. Our argument is that staffing in general and a well-qualified staff capacity in particular are missing in most of the local governments studied. At the same time, the vocational training systems for the local civil service are structurally weak. The ongoing effort to close the capacity gap shows at once the concurrent need for and the typical limitations of externally planned development projects.
