Validación y aseguramiento del perfil de egreso de las carreras en Chile: La perspectiva de los directores de Psicología y Pedagogía en Educación Básica

The purpose of the study was to analyze the design, validation and verification of compliance with the graduation profile in Teaching and Psychology programs at three Chilean universities with different levels of selectivity. It was concluded that the sample careers define their graduation profiles according to the demands of the labor market and graduates` employability. The careers of the highly selective university have systematic mechanisms to validate and ensure compliance with the graduation profile. In the case of the careers of the universities with medium and low selectivity, these mechanisms are weak.

PENINGKATAN SIKAP DAN DISIPLIN SISWA SMK MENGGUNAKAN ALAT PELINDUNG DIRI DALAM PEMBELAJARAN K3

Peningkatan sikap dan perilaku disiplin siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan dalam menggunakan alat pelindung diri merupakan bagian dari standar operasional prosedur sesuai peraturan yang berlaku. Tujuan kajian adalah untuk mengkaji dan memberi saran kebijakan peningkatan sikap dan perilaku disiplin siswa tatkala melakukan kerja di bengkel/laboratorium/dapur tata boga. Metode kajian menggunakan penelitian dokumen (desk research). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa 1) sikap dan perilaku disiplin kerja siswa dalam praktik menggunakan alat pelindung diri masih belum sepenuhnya mengikuti kaidah-kaidah Undang-Undang Keselamatan Kerja; 2) ruang praktik belum dilengkapi dengan seperangkat alat pelindung diri termasuk gambar-gambar/poster keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja. Kajian ini menyimpukan bahwa penggunan alat pelindung diri sebagai bagian dari upaya pembentuan etos kerja dan kompetensi lulusan merupakan sebuah keniscayaan dalam penerapan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja sesuai tututan dunia kerja di era globalisasi. Disimpulkan bahwa penerapan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja dengan penggunaan alat pelindung diri belum diterapkan sesuai standar peraturan perundang-undangan dan perlu dibudayakan sebagai bagian dari profil lulusan sekolah menengah kejuruan.

The Career Model of 21st Century Adopted By Higher Education Graduates

Abstract The present paper has identified two career models, the Protean Career and the Boundaryless Career, that can be considered to accommodate higher education graduates’ personal and professional needs, as well as the flexibility and adaptability requirements of the current labor market. The research used the data from a tracer study applied online to the graduates of the West University of Timisoara, with a response rate of 25% (which falls within the response rate for similar studies at the European level). There has been an increased dynamic of the number of jobs compared to the short period since they have been active on the labor market, especially among male graduates. At the level of individual factors that can influence career success, the importance given to both objective and subjective values is observed. The results have shown that for graduates, income, job security, the possibility of promotion, the use of knowledge, but especially leisure time, are equal priorities, with consistent values in time for both stages of the study. Moreover, there has been a significant negative association between the variables of leisure time and job satisfaction (r (522) = -.17, p <.001). Given the mode of action, the high dynamics of jobs, which reflect the much-needed flexibility in the dynamic context of the labor market, and the values that have guided job search, often working and studying at the same time, the pattern of employment career that most accurately describes the career profile of graduates seems to be that of the Protean career (the path with a heart), also called the career of the 21st century.

Profile of the accelerated second-degree bachelor of science in nursing program graduates and analysis of relative efficiency of programs

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the profile of graduates from accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs and to analyze the relative efficiency of nursing colleges using data envelopment analysis.Methods: An online survey link was emailed to the deans of nursing colleges, who were then asked to send the link to graduates of the respective colleges. The survey questionnaire included demographics, reasons for applying to the accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, employment after graduation, and nursing career satisfaction.Results: Sixty-two graduates of the accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing program responded to the survey. The mean age at admission was 24.28 (± 3.01) years. Reasons for applying to the accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing program were primarily increasing job security and using it as a stepping stone to another career. Nursing career job satisfaction was 4.81 (± 1.07) and more than 82% recommended this program. The data envelopment analysis found the average efficiency score to be 0.84 (± 0.20) and 4 nursing colleges to be relatively efficient.Conclusion: The accelerated second-degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing program can be considered to be an effective means to produce quality nurses with non-nursing bachelor degrees in a short time; however, outcomes of this program need to be systematically monitored to maintain quality level. Through this, competent nurses with knowledge of adjacent studies will be added to the nursing workforce.

Pertinencia de los perfiles de egreso de las carreras de ingeniería en Chile: análisis de su consistencia con los acuerdos internacionales y el marco nacional de cualificaciones para la educación superior

El sistema de educación superior chileno ha crecido significativamente en los últimos 25años en un escenario de escasa regulación, generando una gran heterogeneidad en la calidad de las carreras e instituciones. Asimismo, las denominaciones de las diferentes carreras son poco claras, ya que entregan información confusa a los futuros estudiantes y empleadores, situación particularmente crítica en las carreras de ingeniería, que en 2017 registraron 1.102programas con la denominación “Ingeniería”. Un marco nacional de cualificaciones permitiría dar coherencia y comprensión a las certificaciones de educación superior. Adicionalmente, en el caso de las ingenierías es deseable que la oferta formativa sea consistente con los acuerdos internacionales vigentes. En este contexto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la consistencia de los perfiles de egreso de las carreras de ingeniería que se imparten en Chile con los acuerdos internacionales de Washington, Sídney y Dublín y el marco nacional de cualificaciones para la educación superior, para lo cual se analizaron 128 perfiles de egreso de carreras de ingeniería en relación con ambos lineamientos. Los resultados evidencian una alta consistencia entre las tres variables. Asimismo, se identificaron algunas diferencias,las que se verificaron con mayor frecuencia en los niveles formativos más bajos. A partir de los resultados, se concluye que Chile puede avanzar a la adscripción de los acuerdos internacionales, lo que permitiría mejorar la comprensión del sistema para estudiantes y empleadores del país e internacionalmente.

Thinking styles and engineering: proposals for strengthening the professional training of engineers through physics courses

One way to contribute to the strengthening of professional training processes in Engineering is through teaching and evaluation methods physics courses that promote those thinking styles that should be preferred by an engineer to solve tasks of their profession. Based on the above, the objective of this research was to identify those thinking styles that ideally a graduate of industrial civil engineering from a certain Chilean university should prefer to perform their profession tasks. Responding to this objective, it will be possible to generate educational proposals in physics courses for that career. For this, a qualitative methodology called thematic analysis was used. The data sources were semi-structured interviews with academics with enough experience in the career, besides the analysis of the institutional graduation profile. From a deductive perspective, according to the thinking styles, the ideal preferences for the egislative, judicial, global, hierarchical, liberal and external styles emerged as a result. Finally, a discussion was held on some teaching and evaluation methods that can be carried out in the physics courses of this career in order to promote these thinking styles.

Demographic transformation of the physiotherapy profession in South Africa: A retrospective analysis of HPCSA registrations from 1938 to 2018

The physiotherapy profession did not escape the effects of racially based segregatory practises. While numerous strategies and initiatives have been employed to redress the inequities of the past, the extent of demographic transformation within the physiotherapy profession in South Africa remains uncertain. Transformation is defined in this article as an intentional change aimed at addressing inequalities and the ultimate goal is for population group and gender profiles of higher education graduates to be representative of the national epidemiological profile. This paper describes the demographic patterns of Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) registered physiotherapists from 1938 to 2018. A retrospective record review of the HPCSA database from 1938 until 2018 was performed. De-identified data were extracted, coded and analyzed for descriptive purposes. Z-tests were used for analysis of proportion differences, along with P-values and 95% confidence intervals for interpretation. In 2018, 7663 physiotherapists (6350 women and 1313 men) were registered with the HPCSA. Most registered physiotherapists (55.6%) were classified as white, followed by black (17.3%), coloured (10.3%) and Indian (9.8%). A progressive increase was found in the number of new registrations over time (1949-2018) by black (0.00%-24.38% of total new registrations), coloured (0.00%-15.47%) and Indian individuals (0.00%-10.03%), with a statistically significant increase in newly registered black therapists in the decade prior to 2018 (P=.005). Gender transformation appears to be occurring at a slower pace as the profession remains female-dominated (82.9% of registered physiotherapists in 2018). There has been a steady transformation of the South African physiotherapy graduates composition regarding population categories and gender. However, it is clear that much more than selection criteria is needed to transform the profession in a way that is nationally representative, remain actively accountable for transformation and apt for local context.

SKDI-Based Needs Analysis for Designing English for Students of Medicine in Indonesia

Abstract. This longitudinal study aims to seek for solutions concerning the teaching and learning English at the Faculty of Medicine University of Mataram (UNRAM). The first year of the study is emphasized on the outcomes of needs analysis, which encompasses the Present Situation Analysis (PSA), the Target Situation Analysis (TSA), and the Learning Situation Analysis (LSA). Various data were collected form the documents of Standar Kompetensi Dokter Indonesia (SKDI) a.k.a. Competency Standards of Medical Doctors in Indonesia, the Graduates Profile of Faculty of Medicine UNRAM and the documents of student English proficiency levels within the last 5 years. Other sources of data were taken from a number of focused group discussions and in-depth interviews with students, alumni, subject specialists, management of Block, and various techniques. The data were then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. Findings of the study show that the level of English of students at Medical Faculty was still far from being adequate to meet the SKDI. As such, three learning goals were generated from this study, i.e. the short-tem, mid-term, and long-term goals. The study suggests that to bridge the gap, the Faculty of Medicine needs to develop a number of language programs to prepare these students to achieve competencies that meet the standard of Graduate Profile and SKDI.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o perfil profissional dos egressos da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, participantes do Programa de Educação Tutorial (PET). Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, utilizando um questionário eletrônico estruturado e autoaplicável como instrumento de coleta e enviado, via correspondência eletrônica, à todos os egressos que participaram efetivamente do grupo PET e aceitaram participar desta pesquisa. Atividade profissional, níveis de formação e objetivos propostos pelo programa foram avaliados. O total de egressos foi de 89, desde a criação do grupo, em 1992, até o ano de 2019. Com as respostas obtidas (n=59), verificou-se que maior parte dos egressos que aderiram a pesquisa concluíram o curso entre os anos de 2004 até 2018 (59.3%), e apenas 24 (40.6%) em período anterior a 2004. Verificou-se que 25% atuam no serviço público, 44% no setor privado e 22% atuam em ambos. Em relação à titulação, apenas 4 (6,8%) não possuem nenhuma pós-graduação, e 53 (89.8%) atuam na região Sul do país, 36 (61%) são do sexo feminino e 23 (39%) do masculino. Ao final do questionário, foi perguntado a respeito da influência da participação no Programa sobre a trajetória profissional, com uma escala de intensidade progressiva de 1 a 5, gerando 19 respostas com nível 4 e 39 respostas com nível 5. Os resultados evidenciaram uma influência muito positiva da participação no Programa na vida profissional de seus ex-participantes, tanto no mercado de trabalho, quanto na vivência de pós-graduação.

Classification of Graduate Profiles Based on Graduate Tracer Study Using Algorithm Naive Bayes Classifier

The graduate profile is the role of the graduate of the study program or field of expertise / field of work planned after completing education from the study program. The determination of the profile of study program graduates is generally carried out based on the results of the assessment of stakeholder needs. Based on data from the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, the IT study program is one of the most majors or study programs in Indonesian universities and the highest number of enthusiasts choose this study program each year. Each year, graduates of IT study programs have a large number of graduates, both vocational and non- vocational colleges. The number of IT graduates is large but they have low graduate competencies, even they do not have competencies in the IT field so that their work is not in accordance with the graduate profile that has been designed. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research to classify the profile of graduates who have worked based on tracer study data using the Naïve Bayes Classifier method. This study uses attributes, namely study program, value criteria, gender and field of work and the labels used are status (Linear and Non-Linear). The results of the study on the classification of the profile of graduates using the Naïve Bayes Classfier method show that alumni work not according to the profile of graduates by 73% and according to the profile of graduates by 23%, with a data accuracy rate of 87% and are included in the good classification category.

Evaluación curricular de la ingeniería en Computación de una universidad mexicana desde la percepción de sus egresados

Este trabajo tuvo como finalidad evaluar el currículo de la ingeniería en Computación de una universidad mexicana. Desde la perspectiva de sus egresados, se respondieron planteamientos relacionados con el cumplimiento de los objetivos del currículo, el nivel de satisfacción académica y la identificación de fortalezas y debilidades de la carrera.
 La evaluación se llevó a cabo mediante un enfoque mixto. Para ello, se aplicó el modelo CIPP de Stufflebeam y Shinkfield (1987/2011), cuyo nombre responde a las cuatro etapas que lo integran: contexto, entrada, proceso y producto. Debido al propósito de la investigación, la evaluación se centró específicamente en la etapa de producto. La recolección de datos contempló la revisión del documento institucional en donde figuran los objetivos del currículo, la aplicación de dos cuestionarios a 63 egresados y una entrevista a un grupo focal integrado por 13 participantes. En el análisis de datos, a partir del documento institucional, se efectuó un análisis de contenido; a partir de la información obtenida de los cuestionarios, se concretó un análisis estadístico descriptivo y un análisis secuencial de discurso; a partir de los datos recabados en la entrevista con el grupo focal, se hizo también un análisis secuencial de discurso.
 Acerca de los resultados, se demostró que existe correspondencia entre los logros de la ingeniería en Computación y los objetivos enlistados en el currículo. Además, todos los egresados están siendo preparados con la mayoría de los conocimientos propios de un profesional de esta carrera. Sin embargo, en lo que respecta a las habilidades y destrezas, se está preparando adecuadamente solo a los egresados de la orientación en Software de Sistemas, y no a los de la orientación en Sistemas Digitales, ya que no existe correspondencia entre el perfil de egreso logrado por este y lo establecido en el currículo. Además, se demostró que los egresados están desarrollando actitudes y valores descritos por el currículo. Con relación a la satisfacción académica, los egresados expresaron haber tenido una buena experiencia cursando la carrera. Por último, se identificaron como fortalezas de la carrera el diseño de la malla curricular y las prácticas profesionales, mientras que las debilidades se vincularon con aspectos relacionados con la planta docente, los equipos y la infraestructura.

Metodologia avaliativa de conformidade com as competências de estudantes orientadas para o perfil de graduação

Evaluating the achievement of profiles is part of the constant management of tertiary level institutions, this must be constantly socialized and communicated in the organic structure of the institution. Carrying out evaluations of student competencies implies creating evaluative milestones, which must be constantly advised, accompanied and supervised, the milestones help to obtain feedback that is born from constant evaluation, nurtured, oriented and complemented by monitoring graduates. This allows us to generate future adjustments to the graduate profile.

From Research to Practice: Is Rethinking Architectural Education the Remedy?

Our aim is to investigate how a new master studies course "Architecture, Health, and Well-being" (AHW) supports development of students' skills in understanding and assessing health-related research as well as applying research-based knowledge through unfolding of user perspectives in their design projects. With the growing focus on health-related research in Danish design practice, knowing how to translate research findings into research-informed design strategies becomes a preferable, if not (yet) a critical, skill. This calls for architecture educations to reconsider their graduate profiles and teaching curricula, thereby addressing research-to-practice gap. Based on design project hand-ins, we evaluate whether students participating in the AHW course demonstrate greater sensibility toward user experiences and research-based design (RBD) in their master thesis projects, compared to students attending a more traditional architectural tectonic track. Evaluation relates to the use of scientific literature and theoretical frameworks on topics like "healing architecture" and applied user-oriented methods (interviews, personas, demographics). Our explorative analysis indicates that students have the skills to make a detailed user analysis when it comes to well-defined user groups in a highly specialized building (e.g., hospice patients and staff). The extent to which health-related research and user perspectives are applied in the design process seems to be primarily driven by thematic focus of the project (welfare buildings in contrast to housing). Despite the challenges in teaching students to assess and apply academic literature, a RBD paradigm in architectural education can help bridge emerging research knowledge with design skills and professional competencies.

ANALISIS WAKTU KELULUSAN MAHASISWA FMIPA UNIVERSITAS UDAYANA DAN FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMENGARUHINYA

The graduate profile shows the competencies of the graduate. Not all students are able to complete their studies within the specified study period. Some students are threatened with dropping out (DO) because within the maximum time limit given, which is 7 years for undergraduate degrees, they are still unable to complete their studies. This condition has a negative impact on student graduation on time which negatively affects to the assessment of study program accreditation. To anticipate this condition, it is necessary to know what obstacles students made they are unable to complete their studies on time. The information obtained can be used as a guide in anticipating no more students exceeds study period. The purpose of this study was to determine the graduation of undergraduate students of FMIPA Udayana University and the factors that influence student graduation. The research sample was taken using purposive sampling technique of FMIPA, Udayana University graduation period January 2002 to January 2019. Data analysis used statistics descriptive and exploratory factor analysis. The graduation data of FMIPA undergraduate students, there was 2710 students, 2190 (81%) was able to complete studies no more than five years and 514 students (19%) more than five years. There is significant dependency between study period with gender and study program. There are two intellectual factors that influence student graduation not on time, namely the knowledge and skills factor with an explainable diversity of 63.2%.

PERSPECTIVES OF NON-TRADITIONAL UNIVERSITY GRADUATES ON INTERNSHIPS: SKILLS, EMPLOYABILITY AND TRANSITION TO THE LABOUR MARKET IN SPAIN

Employability has become a principal aim of universities in Europe and beyond. In this context, internships are a central strategy for the promotion of employability. This qualitative study, conducted in Spain and based on biographical-narrative interviews, focuses on the voices and experiences of 25 non-traditional university graduates, all from the field of social sciences, on employability, internships, and skills. The data collected are analysed based on four categories: training received at the university; the influence of internships on employability; assessment of the internships; and perspectives on skills in demand and mismatches between graduate profiles and labour market demands.
 Graduates feel the internships has not helped in the transition to the workplace. Graduates have criticised the lack of connection between university and workplace, the short duration of internships, and the insufficient focus on professional and transversal skills. The results also suggest that universities should develop more initiatives to improve internships, working in coordination with employers and other stakeholders.
