Landscape of genetic counseling in the Philippines.

In this paper, we report on the professional development of genetic counselors in the Philippines as we discuss the status of genetic counseling training and research, along with the roles and scope of practice of genetic counselors. The development of a master's level training program for non-physician genetic counselors in the Philippines initiated in 2011 was in response to the increasing demand for genetic counseling services. There are currently 18 locally trained genetic counselors who are practicing in various fields including newborn screening, pediatrics, cancer, prenatal and preconception, neurology, and research. Despite the success of the genetic counseling training program, various professional challenges hinder maximizing the impact of genetic counselors in the health system. The challenges discussed in this paper include the limited number of genetic counselors, the lack of government positions officially recognizing the 'genetic counselor' title, and the absence of a regulatory framework. These issues require thorough discussion with appropriate government agencies and collaboration with other healthcare professional organizations with the ultimate goal of ensuring quality genetic counseling services nationwide.

FUTURE TEACHER'S OF GEOGRAPHICAL DISCIPLINES FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE IN THE MASTER'S PROGRAM (BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF POLTAVA V. G. KOROLENKO NATIONAL PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY)

The relevance of training teachers of higher education institutions in the conditions of the master's degree is due to changes in the national regulatory framework aimed at harmonizing with the European higher education system and expanding the scope of employment of graduates of specialty 014 "Secondary Education". The article substantiates the expediency, reveals the content, analyzes the methods and experience of forming the professional competence of a future teacher in the process of studying the discipline "Methods of teaching geographical disciplines in higher education" on the example of training masters of the educational program "Secondary Education (Geography)" at the Poltava V. G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University.It is proposed to divide the content of the discipline into two content modules: 1. Features of the organization of the educational process in higher education institutions. Designing the content of geographical disciplines. 2. Technologies and methods of teaching in the system of professional geographical training in higher education institutions. In mastering the program content of the discipline, the leading role is given to the implementation of competence-based practical tasks and tasks for independent work.When conducting practical classes, it is advisable to use information and communication technologies, in particular digital tools for developing interactive learning content (mind maps, word clouds, infographics, presentations), while respecting the principle of academic freedom of students in the selection of various applications and online applications.The specificity of studying geographical disciplines is the use of geoservices, which equip the teacher with a new didactic tool - interactive maps. Interactive forms of learning (debates, discussions, master classes) are used to form an individual teaching style.Having analyzed the approaches to revealing the structure of the professional competence of a higher education teacher, it has been found that the functions of teaching over research dominate among the teachers of Ukrainian higher education institutions, so it is necessary to aim students, as future teachers of geographical disciplines, at self-improvement in the functional areas that are accepted in the European educational space: development of the profile of a scientist through strengthening scientific work and publication activity, the ability to attract external funding for research, to popularize their own.

Audiovisual translation and media accessibility training in the EMT network

The increase in demand for the localisation of audiovisual media content has led to increased incorporation of audiovisual translation and accessibility modules into university curricula in many regions (Bolaños-García-Escribano et al., 2021). This study aims to map part of the audiovisual translation (AVT) and media accessibility (MA) training landscape in Europe, presenting the findings of the 2020 Audiovisual Translation and Media Accessibility Training Survey conducted among the European Master’s in Translation network. It reflects on the results obtained from 55 European Master’s programmes focused on the training of future translators and shows that the majority provide AVT and some MA training, mainly within broad AVT modules and, to a much lesser extent, in dedicated compulsory modules. The insights gained from this study are relevant to establishing a benchmark that will make it possible to track any developments in the teaching of AVT and MA in the EMT network and beyond. Lay summary In recent years, the need to translate audiovisual content for speakers of other languages and to make it accessible to those with disabilities has increased. This has led to growth in courses in audiovisual translation and accessibility in university programs in many parts of the world. Because of this, we wanted to understand the current situation with regards to audiovisual translation and media accessibility training in Europe. To do so, we conducted a survey focusing on European Master's programs in translation. We focused on programs that belong to the European Master's in Translation network. This network is a partnership between the European Commission's Translation Department and universities. It's a quality stamp for Master's translation programs that meet the high standards of the European Commission's Translation Department. We used a survey to collect data from 55 European Master's programs. We discovered that most of these programs offered some level of training in audiovisual translation, and some of them also trained students in media accessibility (for people with disabilities). Audiovisual translation was mostly taught in more general modules, and media accessibility was less common and was often part of optional modules. We now also understand better what is taught, the extent to which practical and theoretical training in this field is offered, the main working languages, the tools used, and to what extent the programs cooperate with industry professionals. So, why is this study important? It helps us better understand the current status of audiovisual translation and media accessibility education in Europe. By studying these Master's programs, we have created a starting point for tracking future changes in audiovisual translation and media accessibility training in the European Master's in Translation network and beyond. This information is important for educators and policymakers who want to improve existing opportunities and offer more training in audiovisual translation and accessibility. In summary, this research sheds light on how audiovisual translation and media accessibility are taught in European Master's programs. It highlights the need for more structured and comprehensive training in these areas to meet the growing demand for accessible audiovisual content.

Digital Training in The Master's Programs in Public Universities of The Andean Community

The use of new technologies at the university level is essential for professional training in the XXI century, where the teacher is a key player. In this sense, the present research aims to analyze digital training in master's degree programs in public universities in the member countries of the Andean Community (CAN) in the areas of education, social sciences and humanities. For this purpose, master's degree programs were reviewed considering those with a published curriculum. The results show that 41.3% of the master's programs evaluated in the CAN offer training courses in digital skills, 15.4% offer training in specific programs and 43.2% do not offer training in digital competencies. It was concluded that the training in digital skills proposed by the master's programs in the CAN is still scarce; therefore, it is recommended to promote regional policies aimed at reducing the gaps in digital skills.

Therapist self-efficacy developmental profiles, supervisory working alliance, and client outcome: A growth mixture analysis.

The aims of this study were to investigate the overall, and subgroups of, developmental profiles of the three domains of counseling self-efficacy (CSE) among beginning therapist trainees in China. Further, the associations between the different CSE developmental profiles and the trainees' perceived supervisory working alliance (SWA) and their clients' reported symptom distress were also examined. Participants included 258 beginning therapist trainees in a master's level counseling training program in China, who completed measures of CSE in three waves throughout the practicum and rated SWA after every supervision session. Clients rated their symptom distress before and after treatment. Growth mixture analysis results indicated that overall, trainees showed the highest initial confidence in helping skills use, followed by in session management, and last in handling counseling challenges, and there were significant increases in all three aspects of self-efficacy. Second, four subgroups of developmental profiles emerged, including beginning moderate with no changes, beginning moderate with moderate increases, beginning low with marked increases, and beginning high with partial minor increase. Third, the beginning moderate with no changes subgroup showed lower ratings of SWA and the lowest average client symptom improvement. Recommendations for future research and implications for training are presented. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

SELF-ASSESSMENT OF THE FORMATION OF MANAGERIAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE EDUCATION MANAGERS

The article is devoted to the study of master students’ self-assessment of managerial competence in the context of modern higher education. The relevance of the problem is confirmed from the pedagogical, psychological and social points of view. The works of foreign and domestic scholars are analysed, scientific achievements in the field of research are emphasised. It is emphasised that the systematic assessment of managerial competence is a key part of the process of forming professional training of masters, which ensures the compliance of educational and professional and training programmes with modern requirements. The purpose of the article is to develop a model for self-assessment of the level of managerial competence of future education managers by the parameters of «multidisciplinarity» and «multifunctionality» and to allocate the appropriate levels of formation of such competence. The importance of using such parameters for evaluation as «multidisciplinarity» and «multifunctionality» of managerial activity is substantiated. The relevant definitions of these parameters are presented. Their importance for identifying gaps in the knowledge and skills of future educational managers is emphasised. Each of these parameters is described by a certain set of indicators that can be selected by the method of an expert survey. A set of indicators with numerical values from 1 to 6 defines the evaluation criteria. The levels of formation of each indicator of managerial competence are distinguished according to the gradation of its development: «initiation», «comprehension», «execution», «skillfulness», «experience», «authority» Each parameter is described by ten indicators that can be assessed by six levels of development. It has been determined that self-assessment as a tool reflects the personal readiness of master’s students for professional activities in the field of management, which is especially relevant in the context of rapid social change and growing demands on the multifunctionality of education managers. Prospects for further research may include the development of new assessment models, the use of various parameters and the study of the role of the social context of managerial activity. The work is relevant for teachers, researchers and students involved in higher education and management.

Thoughts of Courses Construction of Graduate Student with Master of Medicine Based on Online Open Courses

Under the “double-track integration” training model, there are problems with short learning time, scattered locations, and inconsistent schedules for master of medicine. The traditional method of face-to-face teaching in a centralized setting cannot meet the new training requirements. The standardized training for resident physicians strictly requires a 33-month period for clinical skills training. How can we reform the teaching methods while maintaining the same length of the curriculum, in order to balance the standardized training for resident physicians and course learning? Online open courses have the characteristics of fragmented knowledge, abundant resources, diverse formats, flexible choices, and unrestricted learning time and location. They can effectively resolve the conflict between course learning and standardized training for master of medicine under the “double-track integration” training model. How to successfully develop online courses has become a key issue in the reform of course teaching for master of medicine. Based on the experience of course teaching management for master of medicine, this article discusses some considerations for the construction of online open courses.

Development of Training for the Master’s Degree in the Direction “Library and Information Activities”

The purpose of the article is to trace the retrospective of training for the library Master’s degree, to comprehend the accumulated experience in order to find new solutions for its development in the context of the rejection of the Bologna system of education. On the agenda is the restructuring of the entire education system in accordance with the proposals of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. The transformation of the higher library education, including library Master’s degree, is also ahead. It arose and evolved in the 2000s, in line with the introduction of the Bologna system in the higher library education in Russia. The normative framework for regulating training for Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in the field of library and information activities was consistently developed in the form of Federal State standards of higher professional education of the first, second and third generations, model educational programs for the library Master’s degree. The comparison of the mandatory part of the curricula for the preparation of masters of library and information activities in the leading specialized universities showed the existing significant discrepancies in the composition, number, volume of credits and sequence of disciplines taught. During the existence of the library Master’s degree, the model of its graduate has not finally developed, despite the overabundance of general cultural, general professional, professional competencies that, according to Federal State standards of higher professional education, he must cope with. The situation with the employment of graduates of the library Master’s degree has changed cardinally since March 1, 2023 due to the introduction of the Professional Standard of a specialist in library and information activities. At the present stage, many problems of the library magistracy functioning that arose earlier remain. The article presents them as requiring professional discussion and working out a coordinated approach to their solution.
