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.

Введение. Профессиональная аттестация специалистов государственных закупок вскрывает ключевые вопросы их обучения и подготовки на основе актуальных образовательных стандартов. Цель – проанализировать квалификационные требования к специалисту в сфере государственных закупок. Материал и методы. Исследование построено на анализе информационных баз по запросу «Специалист в сфере государственных закупок». Выполнен анализ и систематизация требований к вакансиям и трудовым функциям, моделирование и систематизация процессов подготовки специалистов в системе среднего профессионального и высшего образования на основе современных образовательных и профессиональных стандартов. Результаты и обсуждение. Исследование вопросов подготовки специалиста в сфере государственных закупок представляется актуальным и востребованным. Сфера государственных закупок товаров, работ или услуг – обособленная область профессиональной деятельности по обеспечению нужд государственных и муниципальных учреждений, организаций, министерств и ведомств, а также нужд госкомпаний на основе и с соблюдением установленных процедур. В соответствии с законодательством РФ специалисты несут персональную ответственность за качество выполняемых ими должностных обязанностей и соблюдение установленных требований. Квалификационные требования (знания, умения и опыт профессиональной деятельности) к специалисту в сфере государственных закупок имеют жесткий характер регламентации и высокий уровень реализации. Специалист в сфере государственных закупок обязан обладать предметно-ориентированными знаниями в сфере экономики и юриспруденции, а также навыками организации и ведения переговоров, подготовки и размещения заявок, и прежде всего с использованием электронных ресурсов. Подготовка квалифицированного в сфере государственных закупок специалиста требует разработки профильной образовательной программы обучения и создания необходимого качества образовательной среды: современная материально-техническая база, новейшее учебно-методическое обеспечение, профессиональный кадровый состав преподавательских работников. Подготовка по профилю «Специалист в сфере государственных закупок» наиболее обоснована в системе высшего образования, уровень подготовки – магистратура, что соответствует седьмому и восьмому квалификационным уровням подготовки. Подготовку целесообразно осуществляться в рамках двух направлений: «Государственное и муниципальное управление» и «Профессиональное обучение (по отраслям)». Важность подготовки в рамках направления «Профессиональное обучение (по отраслям)» связана с необходимостью формирования профессиональных педагогических кадров, спрос на которые, как показал анализ запросов, как некоммерческих, так и коммерческих организаций, возрастает. Исследование построено на анализе информационных баз по запросам на специалиста в сфере государственных закупок, анализе и систематизации требований к вакансиям и трудовым функциям, моделировании и систематизации процессов подготовки специалистов разных уровней. Заключение. Основными результатами следует считать обоснование предложения о востребованности профиля подготовки «Специалист в сфере государственных закупок». Представлена характеристика требований и условий подготовки. Introduction.

This article contributes to the debate on the efficacy of traditional forms of education versus vocational training. The effects of technical education (leading to an engineering degree or diploma) and vocational training in engineering on the performance of Indian firms are analysed using regression models based on the Cobb–Douglas production function, enhanced to incorporate education and training. Instrumental variable approach is used to establish the direction of causality. It is found that that when a larger share of workers in a particular sector has a college or university-level technical education or vocational education in technical fields, there is a positive impact on firm performance in those sectors. Further, higher education in a general field seems to consistently benefit the organised manufacturing sector, while some levels of school education appear to benefit the unorganised sectors.

The Way

The Covid-19 pandemic provoked a paradigm shift never imagined by higher education institutions in the world, but especially in developing countries. Drawing on findings from a PhD study, this article aims to highlight the way in which Covid-19 accelerated professional development and training and technology adoption by academics in higher education institutions and large-scale open and distance learning institutions in Africa. A total of 20 academics and relevant stakeholders from two of Africa’s largest open and distance learning institutions were interviewed, and their views are reported. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings show an increase in training and professional development of academics during the pandemic. The study also reveals the way in which Covid-19 fostered the speed and ease with which technology was adopted and used by academics for teaching and learning. The results of this research study may contribute to research of various topics on technology adoption and academics’ professional development and training and future approaches post-Covid-19.

English Medium Instruction (EMI) has been increasingly used in higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Sultanate of Oman, and the English-taught degree programs have been offered in different disciplines. The adoption of EMI seems to have potential challenges for both teachers and students. While previous EMI studies have attempted to identify and classify these challenges, particularly those of EMI students, little research thus far seems to have focused on EMI subject teacher challenges and training needs. The present study fills this gap by exploring the issue in the Omani EMI tertiary context with a view to better informing EMI teacher education and professional development. A qualitative methodology, with both interviews and classroom observations, was adopted. The data was coded and analyzed thematically and inductively. Results showed that participants encountered both linguistic and pedagogical challenges. Participants also reported their needs for training and professional development. Pedagogical implications and recommendations for EMI content teacher education and professional development are presented and discussed.

This chapter outlines how political economy—particularly neoliberalism and marketization—has impacted on pedagogy within higher education globally, and specifically on archaeological pedagogy. This is most explicitly seen in debates on vocational training, where concerns with speed, efficiency, and market forces frame training in banking instrumentalist terms. In contrast, the chapter argues that taking an assemblage approach foregrounds the multivocality of the archaeological process and recognizes that learning assemblages are comprised of multiple material elements, which also substantially affect learning. It considers online learning and massive open online courses (MOOCs), examining how a technology which should democratize can marginalize the individuals who need it most. Ways forward are presented, drawing on examples of good practice such as Framework Archaeology, Catalhöyük, and the Ardnamurchan Transitions Project (ATP), including technology and the Archaeological Skills Passport as tools for reflection. The ‘training versus education’ dichotomy is challenged, arguing that these are components of the same learning assemblages.

In this study, we review the situation of dual education in Hungary, both in vocational education and higher education. In vocational training, the Vocational Training Act 2019 has brought significant changes, with the emphasized aim of bringing the world of trainers and the world of work closer together so that training can increasingly meet the economic challenges of the 21st century. Dual training has been operating in higher education since 2015, during which time both partner companies and universities have accumulated a remarkable amount of experience. The aim is to involve as many industry players as possible in dual training, both in vocational training and in higher education. Although the two types of training differ in many respects, but the methodology of dual training, and the main criteria are similar, so we find it interesting to compare the parallels and experiences for each actor. Many companies have students in both secondary and tertiary dual training, and mainly the same staff member or area is responsible for organizing their education. In addition to reviewing the purpose and benefits of dual training, the study aims to share first-hand information from practice and training sites.
