Potential Training Programme for Academic Beginners

The matter of teaching staff training is an essential element for both education systems and for all contemporary societies. Nowadays, education is considered one of the essential pillars on which a knowledge society is founded. In such a society, the education system acquires a central role, and the teacher becomes one of the main actors. Each individual is encouraged and helped to make use of his/her abilities and opportunities of learning throughout his/her entire life. Therefore the university professors are expected and required to offer very much; to turn this vision into reality depends to a large extent on such professors. Professors play a determinant role in training the youth taking into account that the former have to teach the latter not only how to trustfully view the future but also how to build that future with responsibility and awareness. The importance of the teaching staff's role, as agent of change, promoting understanding and tolerance is very high. Therefore, the responsibility placed on the shoulders of professors is enormous, as they are among those involved in shaping the character of new generations. Today, teachers training involve changes in knowledge, attitudes and professional conduct, emphasizing the idea of proactive and efficient adaptability to new, unfamiliar and difficult situations. Current and future teaching staff is key player in any strategy that aims to stimulate and develop a knowledge-based society, as access to knowledge is a key issue of such a society. Considering this and the recent reform of the university teacher training system, this study proposes, at the institutional policy level, the implementation of a training program for beginner academics. The training program addresses issues related to training methodology in higher education, student-centered learning and has a special structure described in detail in the paper.

Models for enhancing competency-based training and contextual clinical decision making

In the era of quality care, competency and outcome-based education, new models of teaching and resident staff training are greatly needed. These should be based on adult learning principles and allow for high-quality, patient-centred, evidence-based care. Three areas that need restructuring with specific conceptual frameworks to allow for seamless competency-based training, and also to assist in putting the decision-making process in context, are: case or topic presentation; diagnostic labelling; and immediate interventions for front-line caregivers. Three models are proposed: the competency-structured presentation (CSP) model; the bedside clinical diagnosis, etiological cause and severity score diagnostic labelling (BESD) model; and the symptomatic, supportive, specific, specialty and site of care (5S) model. The models listed above may assist in the following domains of patient care. In a competency-structured presentation, the CSP model formalises case presentations and discussions in a competency-based structure, thereby supporting the development of a competency-focused thought process for patient care. The BESD and 5S models improve the understanding of patient problems within the appropriate context, and thus assists in achieving the following quality outcomes. The BESD model promotes better diagnostic labelling, thereby assisting in implementing individualised, evidence-based interventions. The 5S model promotes the cognitive conceptualisation of medical management, which will aid a more comprehensive, patient-centred, multidisciplinary care input, thereby reducing process errors and improving outcomes.

New Trends And Practices In Turkish Higher Education Policy: Teaching Staff Training Program (ÖYP)

Two of basic dimensions of lecturers in higher education institutions, who are identified as academicians, are functions of producing knowledge through scientific research and providing students with efficient theoretical and practical education service. Training of academicians as researchers and educators who constitute such manpower in higher education institutions are shaped by current high education policies in a country. Therefore, education programmes implemented to train academicians have a significant role in determining the qualifications of higher education.According to Higher Education Personnel Code number 2914, academic teaching is conducted by three groups known as lecturers, instructors and prelectors with assistants. Academicians who serve under professor, associate professor and assistant professor cadres comprise the faculty members group. Lecturers and instructors are academicians who give lectures in their own fields and implement guidelines. In the group of teaching assistants; research assistants, specialists, translators and education-teaching planners take place.In this paper, current situation of faculty members in our country and their training within the currently implemented higher education policy is being addressed.

Knowledge of the Brain-Death Concept among Secondary School Teachers

IntroductionThe concept of brain death (BD) is not very well known in the population, and its unknown nature is one of the main factors that could lead to an attitude against organ donation. The teaching sector has an important influence on the education of adolescents, and for this reason the teacher's knowledge of these concepts is fundamental to spread the correct meaning of the concept to young people. ObjectiveTo analyze the concept of BD among teachers of compulsory secondary education (CSE) in southeast Spain and to determine teachers' influence on attitude toward organ donation. Materials and methodsTen CSE level schools were selected and stratified according to geographical location in southeast spain. A random sample was taken of CSE teachers. The knowledge of the concept of BD and attitude toward donation were analyzed using a validated questionnaire, which was self-administered and completed anonymously. ResultsSixty-four percent (n = 180) of respondents knew the BD concept and they considered it to be the death of an individual. Of the rest, 34% (n = 95) did not know this concept, and the remaining 3% (n = 8) believed it did not mean a person's death. Those who understood the concept of BD were more in favor of deceased donation than those who held the wrong concept (82% versus 75%; P < .01). The knowledge of the concept of BD is associated with variables directly and indirectly related with donation and transplantation (P < .05). ConclusionsA third of the CSE teaching staff did not know or understand the BD concept as the death of an individual. The knowledge of BD positively affects attitude toward organ donation. Given that teachers are a source of information, the basic training of CSE teaching staff in basic concepts such as BD would be important.

Operation of the Handicraft Element of Primary and Junior Secondary Curriculum: Implications for Technological Adavancement in Nigeria

Technological advancement has been related to national economic growth and poverty reduction by both national and international analysts. Development of indigenous skills (handicrafts or handiwork) is seen as central to successful administration of indigenous skill development critical for solution of contemporary problems in society. In Nigeria, the desire to develop local craft as a basis for technology appreciation and application is well articulated in the National Policy on Education, especially in the basic (primary and junior secondary) education curriculum. It is expedient therefore, to examine the operation of the handicraft element of the basic education curriculum and determine the implications on the nation’s strive to achieve technological advancement. Consequently, relevant terms were conceptualized; the implications for policy operation were treated, and parameters for better operation such as provision of basic infrastructures (libraries, laboratories, workshops, etc), training of local craft teaching staff, in addition to adequate financing were recommended.

Indicadores de excelencia docente en la Universidad de Granada

As universidades necessitam dotar-se de um sistema de indicadores que permita avaliar a qualidade dos seus docentes, que ajude numa tomada de decisões informada para a sua contratação e promoção e que sirva de referência para a planificação de actividades formativas dirigidas aos docentes nas suas fases distintas de desenvolvimento profissional. A Universidade de Granada (Espanha) não é alheia a esta tendência, e por isso desenvolve estudos, como o que aqui se apresenta realizado pelo Grupo de Investigação FORCE, para estabelecer um sistema de indicadores de excelência apropriado às características do seu corpo docente. O processo desenvolveu-se em duas fases. Numa primeira fase estudou-se em profundidade uma amostra de docentes de distintos estratos do conjunto da população docente. O estudo realizou-se com base numa entrevista. A amostra foi constituída por seis docentes de seis centros pertencentes a cada uma das seis áreas básicas de docência que estabelecemos: ciências da saúde, ciências físico-naturais, ciências sociais e jurídicas, humanidades, ciências técnicas e belas-artes. A análise da informação qualitativa realizou-se através de uma análise de conteúdo em profundidade que permitiu retirar indicadores das dimensões relevantes de todo o material narrativo recolhido. Numa segunda fase, submetemos a lista de indicadores a toda a população docente da Universidade, 3003 docentes. Para a análise da informação quantitativa realizaram-se análises descritivas básicas.

An Alternative Approach to Treating Delinquent Youth

Although a variety of treatment approaches have been employed to change the inappropriate behaviors of delinquents, few have been proved to have a positive treatment effect; however, reviews of behavior change research have led to a number of promising recommendations: (1) Teach delinquent youths communication skills, daily living skills, survival skills, educational advancement and study skills and career skills; (2) Break such skills into specific behaviorally defined components; (3) Assure that the delinquents practice the skills to criteria in the problem setting; (4) Assess each individual youth's skill needs; (5) Develop individualized teaching plans, and (6) Teach to the individual skill deficits of the youths. The Teaching-Family Treatment Model, which had developed a behaviorally descriptive skill curriculum, tested teaching methods and staff training sequences to provide teaching skills, is described. It is suggested that in addition to teaching a curriculum of behaviorally defined skills, those skills incompatible with a delinquent's inappropriate repertoire of behaviors be located and taught as a way of changing problem behaviors. A procedure for determining incompatible behaviors and translating them into a formal instructional format is also suggested.
