Planning hospital-focused training in internal medicine at the CHUV

Switzerland already suffers from the long-predicted shortage of physicians. Moreover, the latter often face long and meandering postgraduate training. At the beginning of their career, most doctors work on internal medicine hospital wards, even though their future may just as well lie in an outpatient or inpatient setting, in general internal medicine or in other disciplines. To help these physicians identify and clarify their hospital trajectory at an early stage, thus optimizing training pathways, the Medicine Department of the CHUV set up its Housestaff. Using a mentorship system and clearly defining a training track (outpatient practice, hospital, academic, or transition), it supports candidates, in close partnership with other departments, regional hospitals and networks, in particular ambulatory ones.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE CROSS-CULTURAL MODEL OF ORGANIZATION PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

The work substantiates the cross-cultural MAPE model of the organization's personnel management (Mastering – Antimobbing – Psychoanalysis – Education), which allows reducing the negative, especially mobbing, effects of cross-cultural differentiation of the company's personnel. The model creates conditions for effective intra-organizational cross-cultural transfer of knowledge, skills, and competencies through an interconnected synthesis of mentoring, group corporate education, and intra-firm psychoanalytic counseling. The main directions of the interrelationship of the elements of the proposed cross-cultural MAPE model of personnel management are determined, in particular between intra-organizational mentoring, corporate education, psychoanalytic counseling of personnel and the mentoring system. Its compliance with the principles of rational creation of models of cross-cultural personnel management of modern companies is highlighted. The technology for introducing the cross-cultural MAPE model of personnel management into the activities of a modern organization has been developed, which includes such stages as a comprehensive analysis of the feasibility and main priority areas of implementing the MAPE model into the work of companies, an assessment of the general financial possibilities regarding the resource provision of the model, a rational organization of internal mentoring , psychoanalytic counseling and corporate education, ensuring the consistency of the elements of the MAPE model, creating mechanisms to counteract the opportunism of managers during the implementation of the model and providing "feedback" with grassroots groups of personnel, as well as control and evaluation of the socio-economic effectiveness of the implementation of this model.

Opportunities Behind Challenges for Classroom Management at Aisyiyah Kindergarten in Kalitengah Village

Community Service Program (KKN) is an extracurricular activity that combines the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, as well as learning and community service. This course is designed to provide students with real-world experience while also enhancing their critical thinking skills. KKN focuses on community welfare. This article discusses the implementation of the 2024 KKN-T group 23 in Kalitengah Village, Tanggulangin, focusing on the educational aspect. This study examines the challenges of teaching in the Aisyiyah Kindergarten class in Kalitengah Village and explores the innovative opportunities that arise from this situation. With an unfavorable teacher-to-student ratio, this educational institution faces several challenges in providing high-quality education. Using qualitative research methods, this study examines the adaptive strategies developed by students and teachers. Data was collected through participatory observation, interviews with teachers and school principals, as well as analysis of school documents. The main idea is that the lack of human capital has driven the implementation of more collaborative and creative learning methods. Strategies such as the implementation of a peer mentoring system, integration of educational technology, and active involvement of parents in the learning process have produced unexpectedly positive outcomes. The research results indicate an increase in student independence, better development of social-emotional skills, as well as efficiency in time and resource management. This study concludes that challenges can serve as a catalyst for educational innovation, with important implications for the development of adaptive and effective classroom management models in other early childhood education institutions facing similar limitations.

The majority of respondents (78.7%) do not receive formal training for mentoring, highlighting a potential area for improvement in the program. Most respondents (67.2%) felt comfortable or very comfortable addressing personal issues, indicating a positive environment for personal discussions. Of the medical faculty, 77.9%felt that the mentorship program contributes to personal development, while 84.4% of medical faculty members believe the program helps academic development. Institutional support for the mentoring program has been perceived as good by 68.9% of medical faculty members. Conclusion This study concludes that enhancing the undergraduate mentoring system in medical education necessitates a collaborative effort from faculty, administration, and students. By acknowledging and addressing the challenges identified in this study, medical colleges can create a more robust mentoring framework that not only supports faculty development but also enriches the educational journey of medical students.

현상학적 방법을 활용한 사회과 예비교사의 교육실습 경험 연구

This study is done to find out what kind of experiences current teaching practice actually provides for Social Studies student-teachers and what specific roles teaching practice plays by using phenomenological description analysis. To focus on individual experience of each participant, this study analyzed experiences of seven student-teachers who completed their teaching practice by using Giorgi description analysis. The main results of this study are as follows. Firstly, student-teachers evaluated teaching practice was necessary and useful experience while they evaluated teaching practice wasn’t effective enough for them to enhance their teaching professionalism. In particular, student-teachers evaluated they lacked in experiences with self-leadership in designing the lesson and practicing teaching and communicating with students. Secondly, student-teachers evaluated that a mentor teacher’s feedback was not enough both in quality and quantity, that reflection on teaching with fellow student-teachers was meaningful experience but not high quality. Also, a problem was found that the ability which improved through teaching practice was limited to the aspects of simple teaching skills. Thirdly, it seemed that student-teachers’ checking their views on teaching profession was done only superficially. They hardly experienced checking and improving their teaching philosophy, views on teachers, views on learners and views on subjects. They just stayed on the process of checking whether they really wanted to be a teacher or not. To make teaching practice more professional and pedagogically meaningful teacher training course, opportunities to play diverse roles independently should be provided for studentteachers and more specialized mentor system should be built.

The effect of value orientations of physicians on satisfaction of patients with medical care quality in conditions of uncertainty

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic significantly impacted processes of medical care support and medical personnel and managers. The article presents analysis of results of three-year (2019-2022) studying level of loyalty of legal representatives of patients of one of Moscow children polyclinics. The study covered both legal representatives of patients (more than 190,000 assessments collected over entire observation period) and randomly selected district pediatricians (n=31). It is established that value-intentional consistency of district pediatricians (ratio between individual priorities of medical specialist and his ideas about proper behavior e.g. general medical or corporate values and norms), i.e. degree of interpersonal conflict, significantly affects loyalty of patients to them during uncertainty phase that covered first months of coronavirus pandemic. The physicians with moderate level of consistency between individual priorities and normative ideals demonstrated higher rates of loyalty on part of patients as compared with specialists who had value-intentional inconsistency. It is concluded that in order to increase and maintain this indicator, regular monitoring of social psychological status of medical workers, their material and non-material support and stimulation, development of mentoring system in medical organization and training of medical managers to use social psychological tools for building favorable corporate climate and culture of relations between employees of medical organization and patients are necessary.

The Role of Family and Friends to Broaden and Diversify Participation in Educational Research

This study examined critical factors in a mentoring system within a federally-funded Pathways to the Education Sciences Research Training Program to prepare undergraduates at a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI) for graduate studies in educational research. Our conceptual framework integrates an inclusive model of family engagement consistent with the literature recommendations for diverse families of college students. We considered the following question: what is the role of family and friends within an orchestrated network of mentors who provide support to undergraduate fellows from minoritized groups in their pathways toward graduate studies in educational sciences? We analyzed quantitative and qualitative responses from an end-of-program survey administered to one cohort of this program. Within their mentoring network, fellows reported that family and friends provided important support in socio-emotional, cognitive, and identity development, but not as strong as that provided by distributed faculty and academic mentors. This study furthers our understanding of the role of family and friends within an orchestrated network of mentors within our Pathways Training Program. However, we still need to extend our knowledge of how research training programs at HSIs can be more intentional in emphasizing the important contributions family and friends provide to promote the success of diverse students in their pathways toward graduate studies.

Mentoring LGBT Students: Perspectives from Volunteers at a Taiwanese Buddhist University

ABSTRACT An increasing number of studies related to LGBT inclusion on university campuses have emerged over the past few years. While a number of these studies address complex challenges encountered in Western religious universities, very little research has investigated religious universities in Eastern, Sinophone communities. This study sheds light on a mentor system at a prominent Buddhist university in Taiwan to investigate mentors’ understandings of and interactions with LGBT students. Through the use of both qualitative and quantitative measures, the researchers found very few mentors were even aware of interactions with LGBT students. A thematic analysis of focus group data found the mentors’ understandings and attitudes could be classified into three distinct categories ranging from very supportive to unintentionally discriminatory. Overall, it seems Confucian values, rather than Buddhist doctrines, is a far more influential factor on mentors’ understandings and attitudes toward LGBT individuals. In particular, conflicts between Confucian thought and LGBT inclusive practices may arise when individuals concurrently display a strong desire to help, Confucian understandings of “family,” and very little understanding of gender or sexuality. Finally, this study offers recommendations for future research and universities.

Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study involved 144 respondents, including administrators, teachers, students, and alumni of BGBP. Key findings reveal that all the BGBP programs are highly implemented. Also, all the BGBP programs are highly influential. There is a highly significant difference in the perception of administrators, teachers, and students on the implementation and influence of the programs. The program offers numerous benefits, such as spiritual growth, learning to live and lead for Christ, and developing leadership skills. Challenges faced include leadership issues, financial constraints, inconsistency in implementation, students’ attitudes, and parental support. To enhance the program, recommendations include strengthening the set standard, elevating the mentoring system, reinforcing parental involvement, and seeking financial support. Additionally, policymakers and curriculum makers may consider adopting BGBP as a benchmark, as it addresses current challenges and prepares students for the rapidly changing world.

Practice and Thinking of Peer Assistance Class Mentorship System in Promoting Students’ Comprehensive Development

In the current vocational education environment, the comprehensive development of students has become an important goal of education reform, which, in addition to the cultivation of professional skills, also emphasizes the cultivation of students’ ways of thinking, creative abilities and sense of social responsibility. Educational reforms in vocational colleges and universities have focused on building an open and diversified learning environment, encouraging students to develop their personal hobbies and social interaction skills while learning professional skills, as well as increasing investment in humanities, arts and science education to cultivate critical thinking and the ability to solve complex problems, so as to enable students to adapt to the fast-changing labor market while taking into account both their personal development and the needs of society. As a result, the peer-help classroom guidance system has emerged, which forms an effective educational and growth support system that enhances students’ social skills and shapes leadership and teamwork through the driving and tutoring of junior students by their senior counterparts. This paper analyzes the factors affecting the overall development of students in vocational colleges and universities, and then deduces the advantages of the peer-help class guide system, revealing the positive impact of the facts of the system on the overall development of students.

This research aims to 1) study the structure and operational characteristics of the manufacturing industry in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand for readiness towards becoming large-scale businesses; 2) investigate the components of development approaches for the manufacturing industry in SMEs for readiness towards becoming large-scale businesses; and 3) develop a structural equation model (SEM) for the development approaches of the manufacturing industry in SMEs for readiness towards becoming large-scale businesses. The study employed a mixed-methodology approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative research. The qualitative research involved in-depth interviews with a sample of 9 experts from 3 different groups: 3 entrepreneurs or executives in the manufacturing industry, three from the government sector, and three academics. For quantitative research, data was collected via surveys from 500 entrepreneurs or executives and analyzed using frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, and structural equation modeling (SEM) with the advanced statistical analysis software AMOS. The research on the general characteristics of organizations found that they have been operating for 10-15 years, are predominantly Thai-owned, use financial institutions for funding, are established as limited companies, and mostly have offices located in Thailand. In terms of structure and operational characteristics, the research revealed that the most suitable business strategy for these organizations is creating a product advantage, emphasizing mentorship systems from knowledgeable employees, and key leadership qualities, including treating colleagues with kindness and generosity and developing leadership at various levels focusing on experience, comprehensive knowledge, and business expertise.The study on the importance of different components indicated that all aspects were highly important, with the order of importance from highest to lowest being digital technology, entrepreneurial leadership, knowledge management, and innovative organization. The results of the analysis of the structural equation model for small and medium-sized enterprises management for sustainable strength found that the chi-squared probability (CMIN-r) was 0.128, the relative chi-squared (CMIN/DF) was 1.126, the GFI was 0.955, and the root mean squared index of error estimation (RMSEA) was 0.015. It can be concluded that the model is consistent with the empirical data.

Методические подходы к управлению человеческими ресурсами компании в условиях цифровой трансформации и построения эффективных бизнес-процессов

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the global coronavirus pandemic, and the evolution of generations influence changes in approaches to human resource management. The purpose of this study is to develop a human resource management mechanism that takes into account modern trends and features of human resource management. During the study, approaches to defining the term “mechanism” in the fields of economics and management were analyzed, and the authors definition was formulated. The features of human resource management in modern conditions are described, among which the increasing role of skills and recognition of the importance of human-centricity, the introduction of digital technologies, personnel shortages, the transformation of requirements for corporate culture, and the need for continuous training are of decisive importance. The possible influence of the identified features on the formation of a human resource management mechanism is shown. The most advanced approaches to human resource management in foreign companies are analyzed, which take into account modern trends and features (a skills-based management model, the introduction of digital technologies in human resource management, the introduction of a mentoring system, etc.). Based on the results of the study, an original management mechanism for human resource in the conditions of the digital transformation of the company was proposed, considering the identified management features.

The mentoring experience of Jordanian pre-service science teachers

The purpose of this study is to examine Jordanian pre-service science teachers’ perceptions of their mentoring experience using the five-factor model of mentoring (personal attributes, system requirements, pedagogical knowledge, modeling, and feedback). This study uses a descriptive survey research design, and the Arabic version of the validated Mentoring for Effective Primary Science Teaching (MEPST) survey was administered electronically to collect responses from 49 participants. The data was summarized using descriptive statistics, and t-tests were conducted to test for significant differences in the perceived mentoring experiences between male and female Jordanian pre-service science teachers. The study supports efforts to validate the Arabic version of the MEPST survey. The means of the participants’ perceptions of mentoring were relatively high, greater than four on a five-point Likert scale, indicating that the pre-service teachers perceived their mentoring experience as positive based on the five factors. No statistically significant differences were found in the perceived effectiveness of the mentoring experiences between the male and female pre-service science teachers. The study findings have several practical implications and suggested directions for future research. Researchers are encouraged to investigate mentors’ perceptions and practices related to effective mentoring, and research on identifying and understanding school factors that may influence the effectiveness of mentoring in schools is also needed.
