Demands Of Job Market Research Articles

GIS Education in Turkey: GIS Education under the Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences of Anadolu University and Online Education Proposal for International World Campus.

Wealth of nations depends on the information rather than the natural resources they own. Information is not enough for a successful development; it is also outstandingly necessary to be able to manage this information. The first step to reach the findings is collecting the updated data. For this reason it is very important to collect and store the data properly (Ayday etal 2004). It is inevitable to use information technologies for evaluating data, analysis of the data and converting data to knowledge which are the fundamentals of natural sciences and engineering studies. According to spread of user-friendly applications and operation systems for computers, reduction of computer prices, increase in computer literacy and internet usage and communication opportunities create a great demand for professionals on computer and IT market. In addition to the demand for professionals in computer market, there is a great demand for GIS professionals worldwide and in the Turkey. The job market demand for people with GIS education is getting higher day by day. This demand has forced many universities to restructure their courses and programs and develop new undergraduate and graduate programs on Geomatics so as to meet the demand. This paper paid attention to the GIS education in Turkey and importance of internet base online education.

Reclamation and Restoration Ecology undergraduate minor and graduate certificate programs are now available at the University of Wyoming, which is one of only a few institutions in the U.S. that provides training in these fields of study. Students completing a Reclamation and Restoration Ecology minor or certificate are more marketable for jobs requiring training in applications of ecosystem reclamation, rehabilitation, and/or restoration. Because mining, rehabilitation of disturbed lands, and restoration for production and wildland uses are major economic activities throughout the U.S., graduates with Reclamation and Restoration Ecology education are needed to meet the job market demands for these skills. The Reclamation and Restoration Ecology undergraduate minor and graduate certificate at the University of Wyoming has broad appeal and considerable relevance to students, state and federal agencies, and private industry. These programs are available to students throughout the country that are interested in Reclamation and Restoration Ecology education. The Reclamation and Restoration Ecology programs were designed to build upon strengths that exist across the University of Wyoming campus; the Renewable Resources department has actually been offering education and training in Reclamation and Restoration Ecology for several decades. The Reclamation and Restoration Ecology undergraduate minor and graduate certificate reinforces the identity and enhances professional opportunities of students completing the programs Additional

Survey on neurosurgery subspecialty fellowship training

BACKGROUND The ongoing controversy on the certification of neurosurgery subspecialties has not been settled. There has been no detailed report on why a resident chooses to undergo further training in the form of a postgraduate fellowship. A survey was devised to investigate the reasons, as well as factors, that prompt the resident to pursue fellowship training. METHODS The names of the surveyed residents were obtained from the Congress of Neurological Surgeons database, and the names of the neurosurgery fellows were obtained from individual program coordinators by phone. A survey, a cover letter, and a return envelope were mailed to each prospective respondent. The data were entered on the Paradox for Windows program, and multiple queries were run to obtain tabulated results. RESULTS The overwhelming majority (84.6%) of the resident respondents considered fellowship a possibility. Academic medicine was also the choice of career for most (60.3%). The most popular reported fellowships were spine (25.6%), pediatric (16.5%), and vascular (16.1%). The three top reasons for pursuing fellowship training were “personal interest for knowledge,” “job market demand,” and “academic prestige.” “Inadequate training during residency” was a distant fourth. For respondents citing “inadequate training during residency” as one of the top three reasons, there were proportionally higher respondents in the fields of peripheral nerve, endovascular, and skull base neurosurgeries. CONCLUSION A significant number of residents consider fellowship a way to further their personal interest and knowledge, as well as increase their marketability. Relatively few from the surveyed group considered their residency training experience deficient in the subspecialty areas, with the exception of peripheral nerve, endovascular, and possibly skull base neurosurgery.

Enhancing Connections Between Students and Instructors: African-American Students' Use of Computer-Mediated Communication

The move to incorporate computer-mediated communication (CMC) into the business curriculum is driven by job market demands for information technol ogy skills. Business instructors may discover, however, a pedagogical bonus: more communication with their students outside the classroom. We studied the perceptions and practices of 138 students in business communications at one of the historically black colleges and universities who used e-mail and the Internet to complete assignments. The results indicate that CMC encouraged students to become active learners and to contact instructors. Anecdotal evi dence suggests that e-mail helps African-American students to see instructors as facilitators, though it does not necessarily become a rhetorical "safe house," where students engage in vernacular discourse. Nevertheless, e-mail fosters an informal rhetorical relationship that rewards openness and collaboration among students and instructors within the formal academic setting.
