Quality assurance in education involves achieving, maintaining and increasing quality in certain areas. All this is done through the evaluation process. The evaluation process can be carried out in various directions, such as schools, school leaders, teachers and other education workers, educational programs, or the activities of the entire education system. In order to better understand the process of external evaluation of schools, it is considered appropriate to look at the world experience. Therefore, the article examines the experience of several European countries regarding the external evaluation process.

Advancing a relational approach through online education: A mixed methods assessment in older adults' care.

To evaluate the experience of health-care workers who completed an online professional development program designed to support family carergivers in care teams in personal care homes. The evaluation focussed on issues of access and uptake of education modules. An explanatory sequential mixed methods design was used to include data from posteducation surveys, and online module analytics of use, to inform interview questions. Demographic data, survey data and video analytics were described. Focus group data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Mixed method data integration enabled inference development. Across eight personal care homes located in Canada and Australia, of 114 health-care workers (mainly care aides) who commenced the online education modules, 89 watched and completed the postassessment. Most agreed that the educational content increased their understanding, and the videos increased their knowledge. Ten participants took part in focus groups interviews. The education was perceived as another way to learn and was considered beneficial for individual and team practice. Health-care workers found it difficult to find time to undertake learning opportunities outside work when their lives were busy and involved other responsibilities or multiple jobs. The need for organisational support to coordinate time during work to undertake work-related learning was highlighted. Caregiver-centred care education exemplifies enhancing relational care among health-care staff and family caregivers, beneficial for individual and team practice. By valuing education for health-care workers through creating opportunities for staff to engage during work time, a cultural environment that embodies continuous learning can be created in sectors caring with older adults.

Anatomía de la Concentración del Ingreso en Colombia

Certain structural features of income inequality in Colombia remain underexplored. Drawing on microdata from the 2022 DANE Large Integrated Household Survey (GEIH), this study examines the inequality across various income categories, provides decompositions of household per capita income inequality by income sources, and analyzes labor income inequality both within and between groups to assess their contributions to overall inequality. The findings reveal that only half of the observed income concentration stems from disparities in labor income. Furthermore, the concentration of labor income is driven primarily by inequalities within groups rather than differences between them. Among the groups analyzed, individuals with higher education and self-employed workers are the largest contributors to inequality. These insights suggest that future studies should focus on these specific groups to identify the most effective policy interventions for reducing inequality.

Current Lung Asbestosis Approach: A Literature Review

Diffuse interstitial fibrosis in the lungs is the hallmark of asbestosis, a lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers that come from the crystalline or amphibole group. The seven steps of diagnosing an occupational lung illness include the diagnosis of asbestosis, which is a subtype of pneumoconiosis. Since there is no known cure for this illness, early diagnosis, prevention, and education of workers and anyone in the vicinity who have risk factors for asbestos fiber exposure are crucial. Asbestosis's clinical symptoms include weight loss, reduced appetite, and dyspnea during activity. Clubbing fingers, cyanosis, and tachypnea are signs of advanced asbestosis. The diagnosis can be aided by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), histology, computed tomography scans (CT-scan), high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and respirometry. A classic indicator of asbestosis is the "shaggy heart border sign" on the chest X-ray combined with the asbestos body seen in the BAL. Because of the poor prognosis and permanent sequelae, prevention is crucial.

Groupwork skills training in social work education: practicing skills training in a Norwegian context

ABSTRACT In research as well as in the field, concerns have been raised that the academization of education in social work contributes to an increased distance from the field of practice. As a core element in the education of social workers, skills training serves an important function in integrating theoretical knowledge and bridging a gap between education and professional practice. Using Vygotsky’s concept of the zone of proximal development, this article takes as its starting point the experiences of BA social work students with skills training and its potential to integrate and activate theoretical knowledge in their training. The students’ evaluations provide a starting point for discussing the importance of their attitudes toward the place of theoretical knowledge in skills training, as well as their own contribution to the integration of theory work. In addition, the teacher’s tasks as a mediator of knowledge about the relationship between theory and practice and how theoretical knowledge can be transferred to, integrated and activated in skills training activities are explored, focusing on dialogue and reflection in the group. Such knowledge might inspire further research on the importance of skills training as a learning arena.

Training social workers at the Master’s degree level: the Italian case

ABSTRACT The article focuses on the complexity of social work education at Master’s level in Italy. After a literature review on social work education, an exploratory research carried out between December 2021 and June 2022 is presented. The research questions are about how Italian universities provide Master’s level education for social workers and the specificities of the different programmes. Admission requirements, professional profiles, disciplines and practice training are some of the issues addressed. Considering the Master’s training system is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, but provides limited focus on social work disciplines, the research study shows the need to train specialist social workers who have a strong professional identity and at the same time can take on managerial roles. These findings need to be considered in the immediate post-pandemic scenario and in the current historical stage, which is now an exceptional economic situation, that impacts on people’s conditions and welfare. As the pandemic has highlighted inequalities and new needs, a structural approach is now required that goes beyond the emergency phase, also considering that new resources were put into social and health services. The conclusions highlight some future perspectives for social work education in Italy and suggest possible new research developments.

Towards Fostering Education of Future Health Workers: Exploring the Understanding of Work with People with Disabilities through Collage Method

The healthcare system has long discussed the need to remove barriers faced by people with disabilities, however, health workers are often still not prepared to efficiently work with such people, and their education is still inadequate. This article explores future health workers’ understanding of the work with people with disabilities. The research study included five students from institutions of higher education studying in programmes training health workers. Research analysis included collages by two groups, transcripts of their presentations and researcher field notes. Analysis of the research study has helped to identify the topics of contextuality of professional activity and professional agency. When considering their future professional work with people with disabilities, students paid attention to the geographical (local), social and political contexts. The agency in the professional activity was expressed weakly. Research participants introduced several ideas how it would be possible to solve problems of people with disabilities. However, they did not consider actions how it could be done, nor did they make a connection between the changes in the healthcare system and their future professional activities. The article raised a question how to consolidate the education of future health specialists so that, after graduation, they would be able to work more efficiently with people with disabilities and meet their needs.

Burnout or Professional Burnout Syndrome in education workers

Teaching is recognized as one of the most demanding jobs due to the vast amount of information that teachers must assimilate, analyze and transmit on a daily basis. However, beyond this intellectual challenge, one of the greatest challenges lies in managing the interpersonal relationships necessary to impart knowledge effectively. Educators are constantly under pressure because of the vital importance of education in society. Working with people, whether colleagues, students or parents, adds an additional layer of complexity and emotional responsibility. This constant interaction can lead to the development of "Burnout Syndrome", also known as Burnout, which can have devastating emotional and psychological consequences for the individual. Burnout can lead to emotional disconnection from work, and even permanent separation from work. In the most severe cases, it can trigger clinical conditions that significantly affect the teacher's health. The purpose of this article is to show the influence of this syndrome, basing the research on a literature review on this topic under a qualitative methodology.
