3D Virtual Worlds

3D Virtual Worlds provide realistic three-dimensional environments accessible through the web that can offer engaging, interactive, and immersive experiences. This can create new opportunities for teaching and learning. Yet, the possible use of 3D Virtual Worlds in formal education is a major challenge for school teachers, even for those who are experienced and keen on using digital technologies. In this chapter, the authors present a 3D Virtual Classroom Simulation appropriately designed and implemented using SLOODLE for supporting a module for teachers' continuing professional development based on the Synectics “making the strange familiar” instructional strategy, aiming towards acquiring appropriate competences for teaching within 3D Virtual Worlds and for developing innovative educational practices.

It could be argued that there is now a crisis of confidence in the professions. Although many professionals individually undertake their roles with care and diligence, there have been so many systematic failures involving professionals across a range of sectors, both in the UK and globally, that the special status enjoyed by the professions is being widely questioned. In this article, I argue that recent cases are symptomatic of a lack of ethical reasoning in professional practice, yet professions enjoy an elevated status based on claims that ethics, typically communicated in codes of conduct, are central to their purpose. I argue that to help solve this crisis, philosophical literacy needs to be promoted in school, initial professional education and continuing professional development. Passing tests to superficially demonstrate an understanding of a code is quite different from reasoning through practical dilemmas in the professional workplace with judgements informed by philosophical ideas.

Multiple Meaning

The concept of «continuing professional development» does not have an unambiguous scientific and normative definition and it complicates its use in the practice of educational activities and in the texts of draft regulations governing adult education. The purpose of the article is to clarify the content of the concept « continuing professional development «and determine the advisability of its use to characterize educational activities and their results in the field of in-service education. Based on the comparative analysis of the content of the concept «continuing professional development «from various normative and scientific sources, the author’s interpretation of the content of the analyzed conceptual construct is formulated. It is concluded that teachers` continuing professional development is a type of educational activity within adult education, which is carried out in accordance with established procedural requirements and the result of which are professional competencies which defined by the educational program or contract, developed in non-formal or in formal education and approved by professional standards and areas of professional development. From a regulatory point of view, not every educational or self-educational activity is a professional development. This activity is admitted only when it is confirmed by the final document of the legitimate provider on the basis of  the developed educational program and under the conditions of observance of the standardized procedure. The issues mentioned in the article have prospects for further research in terms of dividing the competence potential of professional standards of teachers into invariant and variable components, clarification of the invariant component of professionalism as a desired result of teacher training in the implementation of the New Ukrainian School.

Most professions have recently realised that basic undergraduate and postgraduate training is not enough to maintain high standards of practice throughout a long career. Continuing professional development (CPD) has become a feature therefore of the working life of these professions, and medicine, which was in the forefront for undergraduate and postgraduate education, has somewhat lagged behind in this. The failure of consultants to keep up to date in their professional knowledge and attitudes is clearly detrimental to patients, to the doctors themselves, and to the Health Service.

The nature of institutions is an important question for the Personal Learning Environment (PLE). Whilst the PLE has tended to focus on what is considered to be “non-institutional” technology like social software, most online tools today have a corporate/institutional foundation. How should educators position themselves with learners who have to negotiate different institutional and discursive contexts – whether within corporate social software, formal education, work or the family? Drawing on previous work focusing on how learners maintain personal coherence in organising learning between different contexts, institutional theory is used to revise the model of the learner as a ‘viable system’, which focuses on the dynamics of transactions that learners make with different institutional entities. Data from an online Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course in acute cancer care is analysed to show how learner transactions indicate constraints bearing upon learners both from their professional context and from their formal educational study. The pattern of learner engagement suggests that the interaction of constraints creates the conditions to motivate in-depth contribution to the course forums.  This finding leads us to suggest a rethink of pedagogy within the PLE, and a broader consideration of institutional and other constraints in educational dynamics.

The need to implement a Quality Management System in health sector arises from the rising interest for quality in health services by patients, health personnel and society. ISO 9001:2008 and CEN/TS 15224: 2005 apply to health services and emphasize on quality. Their basic principles are customer focus, leadership, involvement of all stakeholders, task-based approach, cooperation of all sectors for quality through information, mutually beneficial relationship with suppliers, continuous improvement, and European harmonization. The implementation of quality management systems in health services is complex due to special characteristics. Moreover, human resources include many different specialties and management/support staff, dedicated and essential to effective health system functioning. Continuing medical education and Continuing Professional Development are important components of professional development and competence, enabling continuous ongoing instruction of knowledge and skills for health professionals. Their outcomes and effects must always be measured and evaluated.
