Evaluation Approaches

The subject of evaluating foresight work has been around for almost as long as the professional practice itself has, but the field has done little to move closer to a systematic evaluation of its work. This special issue marks the second collection of articles on that project after a special issue of Futures in 2012 (Van Der Duin and Van Der Martin 2012). This issue takes a three-part approach: Part 1: evaluation of foresight in general and evaluation approaches and methods that can support designing an appropriate evaluation; Part 2: evaluation of foresight work in organizations and its impact on long-term thinking and decision-making; and Part 3: evaluation of specific foresight activities—an undergraduate learner foresight experience and a health sector scenario development exercise. The foreword ends with a reflection on the continuing issue of foresight and evaluation.

Over Time

This paper leverages current thinking on organising for innovation to create new ideas on contingent organising for innovation. I argue that all successfully innovative organisations need to be built on the same higher-level principles of innovative organising, but the relative emphasis on which principles and how they are implemented will vary by game of innovation. I focus on four organising activities: defining the work that will be done, differentiating that work into coherent units, integrating those differentiated units, and controlling the whole system over time. I synthesise the literature into four principles of innovative organising: defining innovative work as professional practice; differentiating innovative work into domains of practice; integrating these domains via strategic sensemaking, and controlling the work with social rules. Finally, particular configurations of these principles are developed for various MINE games of innovation, based on the dynamics of each game.

RESUMENLas prácticas preprofesionales en las especialidades de Mecánica en la Educación Técnica y Profesional han presentado limitaciones en la calidad de formación del egresado, cuestión motivada fundamentalmente por las deficiencias en la preparación para la dirección del sistema de influencias. De este modo, en el presente artículo se presenta una metodología para la dirección de las prácticas, la cual ha sido diseñada teniendo en cuenta las funciones de los profesores y tutores. La introducción de esta ha facilitado la preparación técnica y metodológica del personal implicado.Palabras clave: Práctica preprofesionales, técnico en formación, tutor.Methodology for conducting pre-professional practices in the Mechanics specialty in Professional Technical EducationABSTRACTPre-professional practices in the mechanics field at the technical and vocational education had limitations in the quality of training for graduates, due mainly to deficiencies in preparing the management of the influence system. This article presents a methodology for management practices, which was designed taking into account the role of teachers and tutors. Its introduction has facilitated the technical and methodological training of personnel involved.Key words: Pre-professional practice, technical training, tutor.

Earthquake Environmental Effects

The application of the Environmental Seismic Intensity (ESI) scale 2007 to moderate and strong earthquakes, in different geological context all over the word, highlights the importance of Earthquake Environmental Effects (EEEs) for the assessment of seismic hazards. This Special Issue “New Perspectives in the Definition/Evaluation of Seismic Hazard through Analysis of the Environmental Effects Induced by Earthquakes” presents a collection of scientific contributions that provide a sample of the state-of-the-art in this field. Moreover the collected papers also analyze new data produced with multi-disciplinary and innovative methods essential for development of new seismic hazard models.
