The purpose of this research is to establish a connection between the effects of globalization on contemporary societies and the increase in individualist attributes in former collectivist societies. To achieve it, the chapter presents the study of the experiences of Russian students participating in academic mobility programs. A two-step survey conducted among the Russian university students reveals, by means of cultural dimension analysis, individualist attributes in their academic behavior while studying overseas and at a home university. The interest towards academic mobility programs expressed by the students of various years of study, their desire for independence and self-development as well as an enjoyable process of acquiring a diploma are examples of individualist attributes. The conclusion is made that individuals trying to find their place in a globalized world acquire more individualist attributes in their behavior and world perception.

The knowledge and experience acquired in Continued Professional Development (CPD) is considered self-development and is dependent upon the individual’s perception of control over professional growth (Chalofsky, 1990). The purpose of this study was to analyze coaches’ self-development perceptions through Chalofsky’s (1990) eight constructs. An inductive analysis revealed that novice coaches lacked responsibility for self-development and believed the head coach to be responsible for athlete results. Intermediate coaches had increased perception of control that enabled them to use their own coaching styles as they relied on experiences and daily reflection to improve. Similarly, expert coaches perceived full responsibility for their self-development, and realized the dependence of their assistant coaches as well. The findings supported Chalofsky’s (1990) contention that self-development is dependent upon individual perception of control.

Los líderes escolares generalmente cuentan, para su desarrollo profesional, con programas totalmente estructurados dirigidos por la administración. La investigación publicada identifica algunos atributos comunes para el liderazgo que tales programas intentan transmitir. Aunque esto es y será una parte importante del desarrollo profesional de los líderes escolares, la gran cantidad de contenido digital abierto y cursos abiertos disponibles y la accesibilidad de redes especializadas y comunidades virtuales amplían las oportunidades para el autoaprendizaje y el autodesarrollo. En este contexto, el marco de análisis de las ecologías del aprendizaje resulta útil para ampliar el conocimiento sobre lo que hacen los líderes escolares para el desarrollo profesional, cuáles consideran que son los medios más útiles para su actualización continua y cuáles son los componentes de sus ecologías de aprendizaje individuales. Este artículo presenta las estrategias más habituales de desarrollo profesional que utilizan los directores escolares en Cataluña (España), su equilibrio entre las actividades de desarrollo profesional organizadas y el autodesarrollo, y cómo evalúan el papel que juegan las tecnologías digitales en sus ecologías de aprendizaje. Se realizó una encuesta de 48 preguntas con el objetivo de recopilar información sobre el desarrollo profesional continuo, a un total de 212 líderes escolares en las escuelas catalanas. Los resultados se centran en las ecologías del aprendizaje, con especial énfasis en las estrategias que demuestran el aprendizaje informal, las formas de formación privilegiada, el uso de las TIC y la participación en redes y comunidades profesionales, y demuestran que casi la mitad de los encuestados consideran que su estrategia habitual de desarrollo profesional es el autoaprendizaje. Los resultados también muestran que los líderes escolares que se mantienen actualizados mediante estrategias de autoaprendizaje, prefieren el aprendizaje en línea (recursos, actividades, cursos) y utilizan la tecnología de manera más intensiva. Las ecologías del aprendizaje demostraron ser un marco útil para el análisis de las estrategias de desarrollo profesional de los líderes escolares. School leaders are usually provided with administration-led, fully structured programmes for professional development. The research literature identifies some common attributes for leadership that such programmes try to convey. Although this is and will be an important part of school leaders’ professional development, the vast amount of digital open content and open courses available and the accessibility of specialised networks and virtual communities expand opportunities for self-learning and self-development. In this context, the learning ecologies analysis framework proves useful in extending knowledge on what school leaders do for professional development, what they consider the most useful means for continuous updating and what the components of their individual learning ecologies are. This paper presents the more common strategies for professional development that school leaders are used in Catalonia (Spain), their balance between organised professional development activities and self-development, and how they assess the role digital technologies play in their learning ecologies. A survey with 48 questions was conducted with the aim of gathering information on school leaders’ continuing professional development in Catalan schools. Two hundred twelve school leaders answered the survey. The results focus on learning ecologies, with special emphasis on strategies demonstrating informal learning, forms of privileged training, ICT use and participation in professional networks and communities, and demonstrate that almost half the responders to the survey consider their usual professional development strategy to be self-learning. Results also show that school leaders who stay up to date through self-learning strategies, prefer online learning (resources, activities, courses) and use technology more intensively. Learning ecologies proved to be a useful framework for the analysis of the professional development strategies of school leaders.
