Abstract The aim of the study was to explore whether short online pedagogy courses can have an effect on university teachers’ interpretations of teaching–learning situations. Before and after participating in a short online pedagogical training programme, a total of 66 participants wrote their interpretations of two short video clips, which depicted a content-focused teacher and a learning-focused teacher, respectively. The training was successful in changing participants’ interpretations from a knowledge-transmission view to a learning-facilitation view of teaching. This result indicates that even short online training programmes have the potential to affect participants’ interpretations of teaching–learning situations, especially when participants are not very experienced in teaching. Therefore, pedagogical training should be offered already at the early stages of teaching careers.

The Given

Agriculture in India is moving away from animal driven to machine driven. Apart from tractors and power weeders which are used by farmers, there are farm tools and implements that can be used by farm women to reduce their drudgery with increased productivity. The present study made an attempt in introducing the set of 14 drudgery reducing farm tools and implements i.e. sapling transplanter, sickle/kurpi, long handle weeders, three types of harvest bags, ring cutter, finger guards, milking stand cum stool, head load manager, seed cum fertilizer bag, seed placement tube and fertilizer broad caster. A capacity building training programme was conducted to the farm women for exposure about the improved set of farm tools and implements. The implements were given to village secretary for use of this equipment by a group of 50 farm women and data were collected from them regarding the awareness about the technologies before and after the capacity building training programmes. Adoption levels were assessed after completion of a crop season. It was found that partial awareness was there about the improved equipment before training and cent per cent awareness was in the random selected group after the training programs. About 62 per cent of the sample has moderately adopted the given technologies. The study indicated for educating the farmers about the importance of drudgery reducing technologies, training them in using the farm implements and providing them to have an easy accessibility to enhance the adoption level. Custom hiring centres can be the solution to house the improved technologies suitable for farm women so that they can be used on rotation basis.

Background: Orphans and other vulnerable children (OVC) who grow up in institutional care often show communication and language problems. The caregivers lack training, and there are few language didactics programmes aimed at supporting communication and language development in OVC in institutional care in Tanzania.Objectives: The purpose of the study was to adapt the German concept of relational communication therapy (RCT) as a support to language development in a Tanzanian early childhood education context in a culturally sensitive way. Following the adaptation of the concept, a training programme for Tanzanian caregiver students was developed to compare their competencies in language didactics before and after training.Methods: A convergent mixed methods design was used to examine changes following training in 12 participating caregiver students in a Tanzanian orphanage. The competencies in relational language didactics were assessed by a self-developed test and video recordings before and after intervention. Based on the results, we drew conclusions regarding necessary modifications to the training modules and to the concept of RCT.Results: The relational didactics competencies of the caregiver students improved significantly following their training. A detailed analysis of the four training modules showed that the improvement in relational didactics competencies varied depending on the topic and the teacher.Conclusion: The results provide essential hints for the professionalisation of caregivers and for using the concept of RCT for OVC in institutional care in Tanzania. Training programmes and concepts should not just be transferred across different cultures, disciplines and settings; they must be adapted to the specific cultural setting.

The Impact

This study appraised the impact of the training programme (such a feed formulation, house preparation, brooding vaccination schedule, stocking density, litter application, types sorting and handling of eggs, record keeping and accounts) given to poultry farmers by the private sector. Obasanjo Farms Nigeria Limited was used as a case study. The study objectives were to investigate the sources of the information about the training programmes, identified training needs of participants, capture adoption techniques, ascertained training satisfaction level, ascertained property acquisition of beneficiaries before and after the training and identify constraints facing the participants. A simple random sampling technique was used for this study to obtain a sample size of 84. A set of questionnaires was used to elicit information from respondents. Data obtained were analyzed statistically. The study revealed that the majority (82.1%) were males with a mean age of 30years and mean the farming experience was two years. The major source of information was radio (52.4%). Training need such as feed formulation (66.9%) optimal on needs assessment rating. The majority (at medium level) adopted the training rendered on feed formulation, stocking density, brooding techniques, and medication techniques. Respondents were mostly satisfied with training given on brooding (mean = 3.4). The most serious constraint was the inadequate provision of starter packs to trainees. On before and after comparison, the T-test showed that there were significant differences between the various properties acquired after the training programme (p0.05). The study concluded that trainees were satisfied with the training as it contributed to increased wellbeing. It was recommended that trainees should be equipped after training sessions to ensure best practices and food security.

Introduction: To be a college teacher requires a permanent effort in developing specific competencies, namely in the pedagogical domain. This paper aims both to describe the pedagogical professional development program offered by the Medical Education Office of NOVA Medical School of Universidade Nova de Lisboa and to analyse its role in the enhancement of reflection around curriculum and teaching practice.Material and Methods: Description of the pedagogical programme offered between 2010 and 2016. We focused the analysis on different kinds of data – opinions of the participants in the training programme (questionnaire before and after the training); pedagogical products elaborated by the participants in the programme – design of lessons, modules or curricular units; questionnaire sent in 2016 to NOVA Medical School teachers responsible for the curricular units, about the contribution of their disciplines to the accomplishment of the core learning outcomes of the NOVA Medical School medical graduates.Results: The pedagogical training needs identified by the teachers focused mainly on improving practice, critically analysing the curriculum and sharing experiences. Globally the training programme was deeply appreciated and considered very good by 97% of the participants. The lesson plans delivered showed that the teachers were able to integrate and apply the concepts developed during the training. The answers from the 46 faculty responsible for the curricular units (the majority of them had attended the Medical Education Office training programme) highlighted their capacity to critically approach content and pedagogical strategies within their disciplines as well as their contribution to the main goals of the medical curriculum.Discussion: The results underlined the importance of a pedagogical training focused on the critical analysis of curriculum and pedagogical practice. On the other hand, the pedagogical products analyzed revealed great mastery by teachers of the content and pedagogical strategies present in the curricula of their respective curricular units, as well as their alignment with the general objectives of the Mestrado Integrado em Medicina.Conclusion: In line with the literature of the specialty, pedagogical training in Higher Education, rather than aiming at the mere acquisition of techniques, should, above all, give priority to spaces for joint reflection on the curriculum and on the pedagogical options of teachers.

La incorporación del trabajo con tecnología isoinercial en los diferentes programas de entrenamiento ha contribuido a una notable mejora en el desarrollo de la fuerza y potencia muscular. Objetivos: evaluar la fuerza de la musculatura flexora y extensora de la rodilla en fase concéntrica y excéntrica. Método: durante 4 semanas (3 sesiones semanales) se ha realizado un programa de entrenamiento con tecnología isoinercial con movimientos simultáneos de flexión y extensión de rodilla de ambas extremidades. Antes y después del programa de entrenamiento se ha evaluado la potencia del tren inferior a través de la tecnología isoinercial versapulley en ejecuciones separadas de extensión y flexión de rodilla. Se ha obtenido y monitorizado datos de potencia, velocidad, fuerza, trabajo, tiempos de repeticiones,.., tanto en fase concéntrica como excéntrica. Resultados: se ha obtenido mejoras significativas (p<0,05) tanto en fase concéntrica como excéntrica en movimientos de flexión y extensión de la rodilla. Conclusiones: durante las primeras etapas de la recuperación funcional los ejercicios generales provocan adaptaciones entre extremidades y disminuyen la asimetría provocada por la lesión deportiva. En un proceso de recuperación física disminuye la carga excesiva que provoca trabajar la extremidad por separado y en consecuencia disminuir el periodo de recuperación. Abstrac: Training programmes incorporating isoinertial technology have contributed to a considerable improvement in developing muscle force and muscle power. Objectives: to evaluate knee flexor and extensor muscle force in concentric and eccentric contractions. Method: A 4-week training programme (3 sessions/week) using isoinertial technology was implemented, involving simultaneous flexion and extension of both knees. Before and after the training programme, lower-body power was evaluated using “VersaPulley” isoinertial technology in separate knee extension and flexion exercises. Data for power, velocity, force, work, repetition times etc. were recorded and monitored for both concentric and eccentric contractions. Results: Significant improvement (p=0.05) was recorded for both concentric and eccentric contractions in knee flexion and extension. Conclusions: In the early stages of functional recovery, general exercise enhances adaptation between limbs, reducing the asymmetry prompted by sports injuries. In the course of physical recovery, the overload caused by working separately with the affected limb is diminished, thus shortening recovery time.
