Resumen

To cope with new challenges, universities of technology need to team up and complement their continuing engineering education programmes with open distance learning. The European FACILE project provided a starting point for collaboration among universities in providing continuing engineering education with facilitated open distance learning. Facilitated open distance learning combines the flexibility of open learning with support of the learning process through local support centres. Following experiences with FACILE, European centres will form a network acting as a geographically separated virtual centre for continuing engineering education which will offer programmes for an audience located all over Europe.

Resumen

To obtain the information necessary for coordinated regional program development, we examined (a) the multidisciplinary viewpoint of palliative care service provision and (b) the continuing education needs reported by non-physician service providers. Of 146 surveys distributed to care providers from multiple settings, 135 were returned. Respondents cited these problems: fragmented services, poor pain and symptom control, lack of education for providers, lack of public awareness, problems with the continuity and coordination of care, lack of respite, and lack of hospice beds. Stress management for caregivers, pain management, communication skills, and symptom assessment were rated as priorities in continuing education. Lectures, small group discussions, practicum, and regular medical centre rounds were the preferred learning formats, while costs and staff shortages were cited as educational barriers.

Resumen

The rapid growth of technology has transformed education from conventional classroom teaching to learner centred, flexible learning anytime anywhere resulting in the popularity of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It is evident that many MOOCs have adopted social media tools to engage their learners through information sharing, participation, and collaboration to create and consume information. In addition to this, social media is the best place to understand crowd sentiments considering the massive amount of data being generated. This study through text mining of MOOC providers related Twitter data discovers the sentiments of users towards MOOCs, association rules, and the engagement of MOOC providers in Twitter. This article also analyses the traits of the influencers in seven MOOC providers and discovers that the influencers are popular users with higher numbers of followers count. The implications are discussed for MOOC industry, academic institutions, and the government.

Resumen

The common ups and downs of school agendas coupled with the existence of new educational challenges have created a complicated scenario that places the issue of continuing education for teaching staff directly under the spotlight. As a consequence, the role of teachers' trade unions as with other requirements of continuing education is now put centre stage. Within these considerations, we have carried out an unprecedented and ongoing survey in Galicia with the intention of taking a closer look at continuing education for non-university teachers promoted by trade union organisations. For this purpose we put forth a qualitative and quantitative methodological approach while using documentary analysis as a tool for gathering data as well as discussion groups and Likert type assessment scale questionnaires. In this essay we provide the data obtained during the intensive-qualitative stage of the investigation. The resulting findings although provisional and partial reveal that an improvement in students' education should go hand in hand with the continuing education of teaching staff. It also becomes apparent that training activities are being substantially conditioned by the legislative jungle that is shrouding continuing education, by the lack of resources and by the pragmatic lines followed by the Education Administration. Furthermore, certain pending issues are cropping up such as the need to channel learned contents into our classrooms, to satisfy the emerging concerns of training recipients regarding their training, to perform follow-up and evaluation tasks regarding the training actions that are being undertaken and to strive for an improved coordination between management staff, users and knowledge workers. Keywords: Non-university personnel, continuing education, professional development, union organisations, education needs or requirements

Resumen

<p class="0abstract">DAETE was a project created to develop accreditation procedures to ensure quality of continuing engineering education (CEE) courses. Financed by the European Commission and by the USA government it was adapted to evaluate and to improve quality of the centres in both sides of the Atlantic to foster recognition and cooperation. Among the several quality management models available in the academic and industrial contexts the partnership chose EFQM. The model was developed in two years with four partners from Europe and one from the USA. The development consisted in the adaptation of the EFQM descriptors to the specific contexts of CEE centres. Issues like dimension of centres, relevant results, processes relevant for the goals and appropriate indicators were thoroughly discussed and defined. During the years that followed the implementation and validation occurred with similar financing and with the participation of about one hundred centres around the world. The analysis of the implementation of the modified EFQM variant in several contexts is made in this paper and conclusions are presented. The conclusions also include recommendations for the adoption of the EFQM model to organizations involved in education and training. </p>

Resumen

Context The results of this study will provide direction for integrating simulation into continuing professional education (CPE) for athletic trainers (ATs). Objective Compare the effects of 2 simulation techniques on knowledge and skill acquisition of a cardiovascular assessment. Design Randomized pretest-posttest design. Setting Continuing professional education course hosted at a simulation center. Patients or Other Participants Athletic trainers recruited to a CPE course. Twenty-two (age 22–49) of 30 ATs attended, consented, and completed the course. Participants were randomly assigned to a high-fidelity (12 participants) or low-fidelity (10 participants) group. Intervention(s) High-fidelity and low-fidelity simulation. Main Outcome Measures(s) A 31-question knowledge examination and a 4-station objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) measured knowledge and clinical skills, and specifically the ability to identify heart sounds as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. Results From pretest to posttest, all participants significantly improved knowledge (P < .001), clinical skills (P < .001), and heart-sound identification skill (P = .010). The high-fidelity group scored significantly higher (P = .48) than the low-fidelity group on the clinical skills portion of the OSCE. Conclusions Both simulation types can be used in CPE courses for ATs to reinforce the knowledge and skills that are a part of a cardiovascular assessment. High-fidelity simulation improved skill more than low-fidelity simulation because of the active nature of the intervention. Baseline scores were low, thereby strengthening the value to offer CPE to ATs specifically on the elements of conducting a comprehensive cardiovascular assessment. Adding a pretest can help identify knowledge and skill deficits before CPE participation.

Resumen

Government can apply learning continuity plan followed by private school during the lockdown period in the context of Covid-19 which appears as outbreak from Wuhan, China and spread rapidly all over the world. Since education is the systematic process of getting or receiving knowledge in the institutions, privatization of education is also being accepted by many countries and have brought the policy to emerge the education sector with the help of public and private schools. In the present context, when the Corona virus spread rapidly all over the world, WHO initiates to stay safe in quarantines and UNESCO suggest about closures of schools and universities. In this context, a study was conducted in 8 schools of every province of Nepal with Kathmandu valley. Schools were chosen randomly as well as mixed method was used to analyze the study. Chi-square, cross tabulation and correlation analysis was done to elaborate the data and SPSS vol-20 was used to interpret the data. In Nepal, private schools of urban area and some public schools are playing an effective role in continuing education through online learning constructing digital infrastructure. However, the majority of private schools are found less effective in online class due to geographic and socioeconomic conditions as well as they are facing electricity and internet problems to continue education in this pandemic era. So, government as well as private sector should prepare Temporary Learning Centre (TLC) and bring the Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) to urban and rural areas to continue education in the COVID -19 periods.

Resumen

This paper describes the activities of the Consortium for Research and Continuing Education (COREP) founded in 1987 on the initiative of the Polytechnic of Turin in Italy. COREP was originally created to stimulate and manage university–enterprise cooperation with a focus on the continuing education of engineers. In partnership with chambers of commerce, local industry (SMEs and large corporations), it has constantly adapted to the needs of the market, in which the demand is now much more for joint training clearly related to the institutional context of the ‘customers’, rather than for short term courses. In the field of research, COREP has been acting as a liaison centre between researchers and the industrial world and has promoted the participation of Italian industry in European research programmes.

Resumen

The Vanderbilt–Northwestern–Texas–Harvard/MIT Engineering Research Center in Bioengineering Educational Technologies is the only such National Science Foundation sponsored Center specifically focused on educational technologies. The Center teams bioengineering, learning science and learning technology specialists in universities and industry to determine what bioengineers should learn, how it should be conveyed, and how learning should be assessed. Potential industrial and practice partners include companies and national laboratories that practise bioengineering, those that provide enabling technologies for construction of learning modules and assembly into courseware, and major publishers and others who will assist in courseware dissemination. Modular design should make Center courseware useful in continuing as well as curricular education. Continuing education marketing strategies include recruiting companies to provide employee, client, customer, and patient groups as test-beds and customers for courseware, and advertising for continuing education through professional societies and advocacy groups.

Resumen

Folkeoplysning i Indien - belyst på baggrund af Jadavpur universitetets udgangspunktAf Asoke Bhattacharya og Tandra MitraForfatterne - henholdsvis direktør for og forsker på et forskningscenter i folkeoplysning på Jadavpur University, Calcutta - fortæller om mulighederne for at bruge den grundtvigske folkehøjskole i voksenundervisningen i Indien.Artiklen indledes med en fremstilling af, hvorledes Vest-Bengalen i årene omkring 1970 i lighed med den øvrige verden prægedes af voldsomme begivenheder, her i forbindelse med bestræbelser på at gennemføre jordreformer. Dette arbejde blev imidlertid ikke fulgt op af et forsøg på at komme analfabetismen til livs. Fra 1986 blev kampen mod analfabetisme imidlertid en national opgave i Indien, hvor undersøgelser pegede på, at landet i år 2000 ville have halvdelen af verdens analfabeter inden for sine grænser. I 1988 dannedes The National Literacy Mission og blev snart en stærk bevægelse. Et forbillede for hele Indien blev delstaten Kerala, hvor det lykkedes først et enkelt distrikt, siden hele delstaten at udrydde analfabetismen. Fra 1990 til 1994 nåede »operation Blackboard« ud i næsten hver krog af landet, men efter en årrække stagnerede projektet. I forbindelse med forsøgene på at videreføre kampen mod analfabetisme inden for rammerne af en handlingsplan har det nævnte forskningscenter Adult, Continuing and Extension Centre da arbejdet med opfølgningsprogrammer, der forbinder arbejdet med læsning med projekter, der har til hensigt at styrke udviklingsarbejdet i Vest-Bengalen. Konkret har der været tale om etablering af tre centre for mennesker, der har opnået læse- og skrivefærdighed. I den sammenhæng har man dels gjort den erfaring, at et sådant arbejde forudsætter et samarbejde, dels at den administrative struktur i landområdeme er for bureaukratisk til at kunne opfange de allerfattigstes forsøg på at udnytte læsefærdigheden i forbindelse med kooperativt arbejde.I denne situation inddrager forfatterne Grundtvigs uddannelsestanker og den rolle, de har spillet i det danske folks nyere historie. Det skildres, hvorledes Grundtvig taler om folkets og ikke elitens uddannelse, og hvorledes åndelig oplysning for Grundtvig udgør baggrunden for folkelig bevidstgørelse. Videre skildres den danske folkehøjskole som en eksamensfri skole i tæt kontakt med landbefolkningen og med andelsbevægelsen. Forfatterne fortsætter med at gøre rede for, hvorledes den grundtvigske folkehøjskolemodel kan forbindes med det såkaldte three-tier Panchayat system i Vest-Bengalen, der fremstår som et led i demokratiseringen af landdistrikterne. På dette systems første trin - landsbyniveauet - skal en grundskole for voksne oprettes, i hvilken kampen mod analfabetisme kombineres med samtaler og indlæring af praktiske færdigheder. På systemets andet trin oprettes folkehøjskoler, hvor national historie og kultur på lignende vis forbindes med erhvervsrettet undervisning og redegørelser for andelstanken. På tredje trin - distriktsniveauet – indrettes folkelige »Colleges«, hvor eleverne uddannes med henblik på senere at kunne virke som undervisere på folkehøjskolerne eller grundskolerne. Samtlige institutioner skal baseres på tætte kontakter til landbefolkningen, men også til en koordinerende komite, sammensat bl.a. af repræsentanter for administrationen.Konkret skal det nævnte Adult, Continuing and Extension Centre på Jadavpur Universitetet støtte projektet gennem oprettelse af The Grundtvig International Centre for Study and Research in Adult Education, der i samarbejde med bl.a. Center for Grundtvig-studier i Aarhus dels skal drive studier i den grundtvigske bevægelse og dens mulige betydning for Indien i dag, dels skal støtte folkeoplysningsarbejdet i kampen mod analfabetisme og de initiativer, der er knyttet til dette.

Resumen

Despite burgeoning researches on happiness in different fields of psychology, anthropology, and economics, in the west on Judeo-Christians and on men, fewer researches were conducted on correlates of happiness among Muslims especially Women in the African context. World happiness report (WHR) reported that Nigeria was ranked as the 5th happiest nation and 6th in Africa, however fewer researches of happiness in Nigeria were reported especially in Northern Nigeria. It investigated the relationship between happiness, culture, socio-economic status and religious coping, among Muslim women students. Quantitative design of the correlational type was used, the population of 900 students from women centers for continuing education (WCCE) and 269 samples using a purposive sampling method. Orientation to happiness scale (OHS) with the reliability of 0.953, cultural questionnaire for women (CQW) with a coefficient of 0.918, a demographic questionnaire socio-economic status scale (SESS) with 0.717 reliability co-efficient and Islamic religious coping scale (IRCOPE) with alpha 0.888 were the instruments used for data collection, generally named happiness, culture, socio-economic status and religious coping scale with a total coefficient of 0.937. Partial least square based on structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data. It revealed that a statistically significant positive relationship between happiness, culture and religious coping, while SES was not significantly related to happiness among Muslim women students.

Resumen

This paper reports the results of a survey carried out to evaluate existing prosthetic and orthotic facilities and programmes of education, training, and research and development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. One hundred and twenty hospitals and medical rehabilitation centres were each circularised with a questionnaire requesting information that mainly concerned (i) types of prostheses/ orthoses, (ii) area of facility, (iii) personnel number and qualifications, and (iv) problems encountered and suggested solutions. The completed questionnaires revealed that in the final analysis of data there were only ten prosthetic/orthotic facilities. The survey provided useful data on the personnel, equipment, and facilities available in each hospital or medical rehabilitation centre, together with details of the services to prospective referring clinicians. Two centres were found to provide high quality services by qualified personnel. There were no formal prosthetic/orthotic training programmes and there was only one prosthetic/orthotic research and development centre. The respondents generally felt that there were three major problems: (i) lack of qualified personnel, (ii) lack of materials and components, and (iii) lack of continuing education and training programmes. It is hoped that presentation of these results will provide facts for both health-care providers and educators which may be used as a basis for development in this important area of healthcare.

This paper analyses the relevance of Paulo Freire's pedagogical and philosophical ideas within the context of occupied Palestine. It specifically focuses on the work in continuing community action and education carried out by a particular centre established at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem, and at the heart of the ‘old city’, for this purpose. The major focus here is on community theatre foregrounding issues related to women in Palestinian society. Major themes broached include the politics of education, social mobilisation, women and the Intifada, the collective dimensions of knowledge, learning and praxis, purging oneself of the ‘oppressor within’ to break the cycle of violence, education for liberation.

Resumen

AbstractThe article analyzes the activities of governmental and non-governmental institutions aimed at orginizing teacher development in the system of postgraduate education in Poland. The author pays attention to the most prominent governmental institutions involved in advanced teacher training, namely, the Center for Education Development and the National Center for Supporting Vocational and Continuing Education in Warsaw, the Polonia Teachers’ Center in Lublin, which is part of the Centre for Polish Education Development Abroad. The activities of governmental institutions for teacher training in Poland operate at such three levels as central, regional and local. These institutions realize the main goal that is mainly related to teaching staff in the system of teacher development in accordance with the priorities in the country’s education policy. The funding allocated for the activities of central institutions for teacher development is provided under the budget of the Ministry of Education. Non-govermental centers for advanced teacher training are established by natural or legal entities. There are more than 370 institutions of this kind in Poland. In addition, teachers can participate in various training courses offered through the EU projects and funded by the European Social Fund. Based on Polish experience, it was proved that the European vision of education and new quality criteria motivate the teacher to develop both national and pan-European identity in their students.

Resumen

This essay aims to look at the problem of the continuous training of day care professionals. To endorse the discussion, data from the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) database were used on the subject from 1997 to 2017, that is, in the last 20 years after the publication of the Law of Guidelines and Basesof National Education. We verified that the researches developed in Brazil deal with the public policy themes of continuing education; practices and knowledge of professionals; performance of the pedagogical coordinator in continuing education; and continuing education programs. The studies highlight the importance of improving continuing education practices among teachers and professionals in the day care center, allowing theory and practice to be identified in the constitution of a body of knowledge thatbenefits the children of this age group. Although we can see some progress in understanding this stage of basic education, we verified the need to value the training of professionals for more basedpractices.

Resumen

Along with everyday clinical work, many nurses and physicians are dealing with clinical nutrition – counselling of patients, nutrition research and cooperation with specialists. It is essential to organise the clinical nutrition of inpatients, outpatients and home-care patients. Patients with chronic diseases and their carers expect increasingly profound information and guidelines about their nutrition from their attending physicians or department nurses and later at home – for this, specific guidelines are needed. An initiative group of physicians at Tartu University Hospital founded the Estonian Physicians’ Nutritional and Dietetics Society. The aims of the Estonian Physicians’ Nutritional and Dietetics Society are development of cooperation and information exchange with specialists in different areas, development and conducting of continuing education programmes in dietetics in cooperation with the Centre for Continuing Medical Education at the University of Tartu. The terminology of dietetics needs unification and updating. Disease-specific clinical nutrition guidelines have to be compiled and published.

Resumen

This paper, which is based upon a talk given to the Martin Centre Research Society at the Department of Architecture at Cambridge in October 1994, examines the continuing relevance of the model of architectural research which was proposed at the Oxford Conference on architectural education in 1958. It suggests that the Oxford model, with its roots in the procedures of the sciences, in which ‘fundamental’ research precedes ‘development’, before leading into practical application, fails to account for the role of the designer in the evolution of the state of architecture. It also proposes that developments in architectural education, in particular the growth of the unit system of studio instruction, have added a further element to the productive and investigative potential of the schools of architecture, and that this must be accounted for in any valid model of research.

Resumen

A telehealth network was established between seven health centres, the local university and the university hospital in the Oulu Arc Subregion in a rural area of northern Finland. During the period 2004–2007, the videophone network was used for different types of teleconsultation (orthopaedics, psychiatry, diabetes, rehabilitation), continuing education and various patient care and administrative meetings. Qualitative research with observation and interviews with 30 professionals (physicians, nurses, psychiatric nurses, physiotherapists) was carried out in early 2007 to find out health-care professionals' attitudes toward telehealth and to see how the attitudes were connected to telehealth usage. Overall, the attitudes were more positive than negative, ranging from negative to enthusiastically positive. Diversity of attitudes occurred in relation to time, situation, profession, health centre and telehealth application. Ten different types of telehealth adopters were recognized: enthusiastic user, positive user, critical user, hesitant user, positive participant, hesitant participant, critical participant, neutral participant, negative participant and positive non-participant. Telehealth was especially well accepted in continuing education and in diabetes teleconsultations. The study showed that a negative attitude was not a definite barrier to telehealth adoption, but it did require additional attention from project workers and managers. Project staff and managers need to take into account the diverse attitudes of health professionals, because different people require different actions to adopt telehealth in their work.

Resumen

Educational research has shown that teaching quality is one of the most important factors in raising student achievement. There is a compelling need for educators to keep abreast of the important developments that are taking place in educational arena. One of the educational areas that has massive development is the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning especially in mathematics. This development needs professional developmentamong educators. Being a regional science and mathematics education centre, the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organisation Regional Centre for Education in Science and Mathematics (SEAMEO RECSAM) has always been cognizant of the importance of these developments. Its training programmes are planned to incorporate these developments for in-service teachers, teacher educators and ministry of education mathematics officers. As the Centre's mandate aims to ensure that these participants from Southeast Asians countriesas well as those from outside the region are equipped with emerging educationaltechnology tools which can enhance teaching and learning of mathematics. This paper will share the Centre’s experiences in continuing professional development among mathematics teacher, teacher educators and officers from the ministry of education on educational innovation and technology.

Resumen

Lack of continuing education and physician anaesthetist support are commonly cited problems amongst Ethiopian anaesthetic providers. Whilst operating at Jimma University Medical Centre (JUMC), Operation Smile volunteers identified a clear need for improvement in anaesthetic care delivery at JUMC. JUMC is a 450-bed university teaching hospital 350 km southwest of Addis Ababa. At the start of this programme it had two physician anaesthetists, with the majority of anaesthesia historically having been provided by non-physician anaesthesia providers. A visiting lecturer programme was established at JUMC in 2012 following collaboration between two consultant anaesthetists, working for Operation Smile and JUMC respectively. UK trainee anaesthetists in their final years of anaesthetic training volunteered at JUMC for periods of two to six months, providing sustainable education and consistent physician anaesthetist presence to support service provision and training. Over its six-year history, nine visiting lecturers have volunteered at JUMC. They have helped establish a postgraduate training programme in anaesthesia, assisting in the provision of a future physician anaesthetist workforce. Four different training courses designed for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have been delivered and visiting lecturers have trained local anaesthetists in subsequent course delivery. Patient safety and quality improvement projects have included introducing the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist, Lifebox pulse oximeters, obstetric spinal anaesthesia packs, improving critical care delivery and establishing two post-anaesthetic care units. Development of partnerships on local, national and global platforms were key to the effective delivery of relevant sustainable education and support. Instilling local ownership proved fundamental to implementing change in the local safety culture at JUMC. Sound mentorship from anaesthetic consultant supervisors both in the UK and in Jimma was crucial to support the UK trainee anaesthetists working in a challenging global setting. This model of sustainable capacity building in an LMIC with a significant deficit in its physician workforce could be replicated in a similar LMIC setting.

Resumen

JAMES CURRAN is Midland Bank Professor of Small Business Studies and head of the Small Business Research Unit at Kingston Polytechnic, England, and John Stanworth is Professor and director of the Future of Work Research Group at the London Management Centre, Polytechnic of Central London, England. Small business education and training has grown rapidly in importance as 'enterprise' has assumed a key role in the main political initiatives towards economic restructuring in Britain and elsewhere. This development has, however, been essentially ad hoc and there is now a need to identify more clearly the major forms of enterprise and training education, their target populations and their resource effectiveness. 'Entrepreneurial education' or 'training for entrepreneurship' are widely used phrases, often intended to take on a generic meaning. However, most small business educational activities have little to do with promoting 'entrepreneurship' in any strict sense. To clarify the analysis and disaggregate the main forms of education and training activities linked to the small business, the authors have distinguished four distinct types-entrepreneurial education for small business and self-employment, continuing small business education, and small business awareness education. They conclude that in research terms there is a considerable need for a great deal of further study in all four dimensions for each of the forms of education. In policy terms the most resource effective form currently is probably education for small business ownership but they say that the greatest need is probably for more continuing small business education although this may be expensive in resource terms.

Resumen

This article is a study of one aspect of the character education offered by schools following the curriculum of the International Baccalaureate – students’ pro-social development. Set against a background in which the development of inter-personal qualities is being marginalised by conservative governments across many national systems of education (Keddie, 2015), the International Baccalaureate seems to defy these trends by continuing to centre attention on the holistic development of personal characteristics, including the cultivation of pro-social behaviour through the learner attribute ‘Caring’. Through a focused analysis of the pro-social curriculum practice enacted by nine case-study international schools following this curriculum across three continents, the article concludes that pro-social behaviour is effectively encouraged by the International Baccalaureate programmes, but that it is a somewhat patrician version of caring that is enacted in many contexts.

Resumen

Introduction: Tertiary care emergency departments (EDs) in large urban environments may have a low volume of high acuity pediatric presentations due to their proximity to dedicated childrens hospitals or large community centres. This may lead to discomfort among emergency physicians (EPs) and registered nurses (RNs) in managing these patients and a waning of knowledge and skills for this unique population. Among the EP group at our institution, 68% indicated they managed pediatric patients in less than 25% of their shifts, 68% also indicated they were uncomfortable managing an undifferentiated critically unwell neonate and only 32% indicated they would be comfortable teaching pediatric topics to emergency medicine residents. At our institution, our innovation was to create a useful curriculum for certified EPs and RNs to improve the interdisciplinary teams comfort level, knowledge and skill set when managing pediatric emergencies. Methods: A needs assessment was undertaken of the EPs and RNs working in our centre. This information was used to develop intended learning outcomes in a collaborative manner with the clinical nursing educator and physician curriculum leads. The team further collaborated with the local simulation centre and a pediatric emergency physician from the local childrens hospital. Results: A one-year, three-module curriculum was developed to cover the areas felt to be highest yield by the EP group: febrile illness, respiratory disease and critically ill neonates and infants. Each module contains three components: an in person interactive lecture delivered by an EP who routinely manages pediatric patients, either at a childrens hospital or large community centre; an online component with e-mail blasts of high yield pediatric content; and, culminating in an interdisciplinary interdepartmental simulation held in situ. This latter is particularly important so that all members of the interdisciplinary team can practice finding and using equipment based on its actual location within the ED. Each component of each module is then evaluated by the participants to ensure improvement for subsequent delivery. Conclusion: Well delivered continuing professional development (CPD) will become increasingly important as competence by design becomes the model for maintenance of certification. Maintaining skills for pediatric patients is an important component of CPD for physicians working in general emergency departments that see a low volume of high acuity pediatric presentations. Our curriculum seeks to address this identified need in an innovative manner using a modular and interdisciplinary approach with a diversity of teaching methods to appeal to the learning styles among our health care team.

Resumen

Purpose: This paper offers relevant insights from the activity of the network of Centres d’Innovació i Formació Ocupacional (CIFO), analyzing the development of innovation in a continuing education and training (CVET) programme for unemployed, in Catalonia (Spain). (Required field)Design/methodology/approach: This is a qualitative study, carried out using the communicative methodology approach and co-constructing knowledge with the heads of the centers. The data was collected through the realization of eight interviews with the heads of seven of the eight CIFO that compose the CIFO network in Catalonia plus the Coordinator of the network, who had been head of the other CIFO, and it consisted in identifying the barriers to innovation and the elements that help to overcome them within different dimensions of this programme, through the exclusionary and transfomative dimensions, specific to the communicative methodology. (Required field)Findings: Innovation at the CIFO has three main strands where we have identified many opportunities for the CIFO: methodological, pedagogical and technological. The methodological has to do with the actions derived from the ISO 9001 certification, which gives the centres the mission of continuous improvement and satisfying the needs of the people and enterprises in the territories they serve. Pedagogical innovation is related to the detection of the innovation and including it in the curriculum of the centre, organizing experimental training courses, using the project methodology, enhancing entrepreneurship, or introducing digital technologies in the classroom. Technological innovation is related to the use of the latest technologies and equipment in the market. (Required field)Social Implications: This study opens new venues for research in the area of VET, CVET and lifelong learning because of its implications in adjusting education and training to the requirements of the labor market and improving students’ employability and helping them develop or design their personal projects and professional trajectory. The processes described in this article could be transferred to other contexts and in all types of activiiesy or initiatives in lifelong learning.Originality/value: This study contributes to fill a gap in the scientific literature, because innovation in the area of continuing vocational and education training and even in lifelong learning is scarce. Another contribution of this article is the focus on innovation, which is one of the main priorities for the EU in the area of Education and Training, and aso in the US, because of its contribution to economic growth and competitivity.
