ABSTRACTThis paper analyzes the proposal of the Integral Reform of Higher Secondary Education (RIEMS) to meet the training needs of teachers of that educational level and the challenges for its implementation. To put this proposal in context, data from a study carried out in the state of Tlaxcala in 2014 are retaken. One of the fields that he was investigating were professional profiles and training needs. The results of the study indicate that their needs are mainly related to fields related to didactics, and the areas of greatest deficiency revealed by large-scale evaluations. Different studies emphasize problems in training: the scarce approach with teachers to identify their needs, the absence of a pedagogical system that responds to the conditions of teachers, and few studies of the impact of training on improving teaching and learning.RESUMENEste trabajo analiza la propuesta de la Reforma Integral de la Educación Media Superior (RIEMS) para atender las necesidades de formación de los profesores de ese nivel educativo y los retos para su implementación. Para poner en contexto dicha propuesta se retoman datos de un estudio realizado en el estado de Tlaxcala en el año 2014. Uno de los campos que indagaba eran los perfiles profesionales y las necesidades de formación. Los resultados del estudio señalan que sus necesidades versan principalmente en torno a campos relacionados con la didáctica, y las áreas de mayor deficiencia que revelan las evaluaciones de gran escala. Distintos estudios enfatizan como problemas en la formación: el escaso acercamiento con los docentes para identificar sus necesidades, ausencia de un sistema pedagógico que responda a las condiciones de los profesores, y pocos estudios del impacto de la formación en la mejora de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje.

Abstract There is now a relative wealth of Translation Studies literature on translator training, but it often centres on impersonal aspects such as processes, content or activities, and ignores the human factor. There are two sets of participants in the teaching and learning process, both of whom are essential for its success: students or trainees, and teachers or trainers. Other than to bemoan their supposed deficiencies, or to design elaborate entrance filters, little has been said about students. But even less has been said about trainers. In this paper, attention focuses on them. The little that TS literature says about trainer profiles is mostly centred on the need for them to have professional translator competence. This paper takes a broader approach to the issues surrounding translator trainers and their training, setting them firmly within the broader context of higher education teaching as a profession, and attempts to link recently developed professional standards in higher education teaching to our field. This background allows the author to draw up a competence-based profile of the translator trainer and briefly to review which areas of such a profile have been addressed in TS and which are still in need of further work. The paper ends with an overview of the preliminary results of a study currently underway in Spain, designed to carry out detailed training needs analysis for translator trainers.

In the March 1994 issue of Industry and Higher Education, William A. Weimer reviewed and analysed the lessons learned from the experience of the European Programme of Advanced Continuing Education (EuroPACE), which ceased to broadcast in January 1993. On 8 December 1993, EuroPACE 2000 arose from its ashes. In this article, the authors outline the aims and objectives of the new EuroPACE 2000 programme in the context of the education and training needs of the future workforce of Europe. A university-centred network, EuroPACE 2000 focuses on telematics as the key additional ingredient in the effective and widespread delivery of lifelong learning in Europe.
