The professionalization of English medium instruction lecturer: content and certification

As there is no unified standard for EMI teacher professional certification, this paper surveys the professional competence requirements and professional certification of English medium instruction (EMI) lecturers worldwide in order to inform decisions by researchers and administrators tasked with the design and delivery of the certification activity. The study uses a semi-systematic review method to tease 46 articles which include information about EMI lecturer ability, professional development, and certification. The paper analyzed the content of them about competence components and delivery methods. The analysis reveals five main dimensions: language competence, communicate competence, pedagogical competence, multicultural competence and EMI awareness. The certification in current can be divided into two categories depending on whether they include a training program. Certification that consists only of tests usually focuses more on the teacher’s English proficiency in teaching. Another certification usually has the essential English requirement for the participants and pays more attention to the pedagogical methodology. The paper concludes with recommendations for the development of the EMI lecturer competence framework and certification program.

FEATURES OF DISTANCE EDUCATION AT THE OTOLARYNGOLOGY, HEAD AND NECK SURGERY DEPARTMENT

Quality education is the key to the country's future, essential to its national identity and welfare. In the modern labor market, the requirements for professional competencies of graduates are growing. This situation led to new forms and higher education methods aimed at creating a comprehensive continuing education system and expanding the scope of independent student work that will form self-organization skills and self-education [1,2].
 Distance learning is a purposeful process of interaction between teacher and student, based on the use of modern information and telecommunication technologies that allow distance learning, which is relevant in today's conditions. [3,4,5,6]. The widespread of distance learning is not accidental. It is a natural development stage and education adaptation to current conditions [7,8]. The introduction of distance learning at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery is an important part of education in higher medical schools in current conditions.
 Otorhinolaryngology is a clinical discipline, so the learning process cannot be carried out in distance learning based only on test control and oral answer. Thus, teachers should use quality illustrative material and modern resources such as the School of Evidence-Based Medicine, the Academy of Otorhinolaryngology "Eurolor", Ivano-Frankivsk School of Otolaryngology, to motivate students to study and think logically using clinical information and medical knowledge to solve complex clinical problems. Those resources have many videos of clinical cases with real patients, comments during the process of clinical examination and chosen treatment strategy, and in the case of surgical treatment, demonstration of all stages of the surgical procedure from the operating room.
 Our work aimed to improve the quality of distance learning by systematizing the acquired knowledge and professional skills based on the principles of evidence-based medicine.

Evaluating Traditional Chinese Medicine Interventions on Chronic Low Back Pain Using Goal Attainment Scaling

Background Extensive studies have been conducted to evaluate the pain relief effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) interventions on patients with low back pain, including in China. However, there is a dearth in the literature documenting the diverse goals of TCM interventions, let alone the overall effect of such interventions. In this study, the goal attainment scaling (GAS) method was adopted to evaluate individualised TCM interventions on chronic low back pain. Methods A pre-post intervention study was conducted on patients with chronic low back pain who received individualised TCM interventions in community health services. The study was undertaken in three community health centres in Hangzhou of China. A total of 165 eligible patients were invited, and 150 participated in the study, including 136 who completed both pre- and postintervention surveys. Each participant was asked to identify three to five intended goals from a pool of 26 outcome indicators and their corresponding expectations of these goals prior to the TCM interventions. Their conditions were rated against the selected indicators on a self-report five-point Likert scale before and after the TCM interventions, respectively. Gaps between the actual conditions and the expected goals were summed up for each participant and converted into a standardised GAS score, with a higher score indicating higher achievements, and 50 indicting patient expectations were met. Linear regression models were established to determine the factors associated with the pre-post GAS changes after adjustment for variations in other variables. Results On average, an increase of 14.99 (SD = 9.81) in the GAS scores was achieved. This resulted in a mean GAS score of 48.33 (SD = 9.74) after the TCM interventions, falling slightly short (<2) of patient expectations. The multivariate linear regression models revealed that local residents, the retired, and those who perceived lower professional competency of their attending doctors had a smaller increase in the GAS scores after adjustment for variations in other variables. Conclusion The individualised TCM interventions can help patients with low back pain to achieve their expected goals as measured by the GAS. Further studies are needed to better understand how patients set up their goals and the professional competency requirements to meet patient expectations.

In modern conditions, the concept of "competence" has become firmly established in scientific use. The ongoing innovative processes in the education system, one way or another, are associated with the introduction of a competency-based approach into the practice of schools and universities. At the same time, it can be argued that the latest scientific development, which has significantly enriched the modern educational space, is the category of “teacher's professional competence”, which is today a criterion for the quality of training of graduates of higher educational institutions. The essence of the conceptual requirements for professional competence is reduced to the expansion of knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to improve the efficiency of professional activity and life in general.

Airport Planning and Design – Legal and Professional Competence Requirements

Abstract Airport design and planning considerably differs from the design of other transport infrastructure. The reasons are the wide scope of regulation in civil aviation and the lack of links between the Civil Aviation Act and the Building Act. The effect is that the sequence of procedures, negotiation, and/or document approval is not clearly defined. The situation is further complicated by the fact that an airport is a unique construction both for the investor and for the local building authority. The paper is an outcome of our research, building on long-term experience in airport planning and design, and the elucidation of planning and approval processes with experts from the Transport Authority and the Ministry of Transport and Construction of the Slovak Republic.
