ICT integration has become one of the most crucial areas of research in education especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. As research suggests, its integration is highly dependent on the level of competence and willingness of usage, for it is the individual who ultimately decides to integrate ICT into their learning activities. The present study focuses on graduate students and teachers’ experiences of integrating ICT during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the experience of these actors can bring insight into better ways to improve the design and implementation of professional development initiatives focused on ICT integration. In this study, the perceptions from students and teachers were collected through questionnaires and interviews analyzing their experience during the drastic transition from face-to-face sessions to remote learning. Results of this study suggest that, while ICT is accepted as the best possible alternative during the first period of the transition, students and teachers perceive a limited level of competence in instructional design. These results and its implications are discussed in view of guidelines for professional development initiatives.

Insight Into

Abstract Objective Post-professional physical therapy expertise requires career-long participation in learning activities. Understanding physical therapists’ lived experience of learning activities provides novel insight into how best to enhance physical therapist practice from the perspective of the learner. The purpose of this study was to explore qualified physical therapists’ experiences, beliefs, and perspectives with regard to learning activities and professional development. Methods Eight databases were searched for studies published from inception through December 2018. Study selection included mixed-methods and qualitative studies exploring physical therapists’ experiences, perspectives, beliefs, and attitudes. Thematic synthesis was performed, and the GRADE-Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research was used to assess the level of confidence in the findings. A total 41 studies with 719 participants were included. Results The key findings include physical therapists’ perceptions that worthwhile post-professional learning requires more than attendance at professional development courses. Physical therapists perceived that worthwhile learning requires connection with others and being “taken out of one’s comfort zone.” Sufficient time and accessible, trustworthy resources were also valued. Conclusions Moderate- to low-level evidence suggests that the choice of professional development activities and education design for qualified physical therapists should consider the inclusion of connected activities, activities that take participants out of comfort zones, time to practice, and trustworthy resources that are easily accessible. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of learning activities encompassing these factors, prioritizing those that minimize the barriers of time and distance. Impact This study adds to the profession’s understanding of physical therapists’ lived experience of learning activities, providing novel insight into how best to enhance physical therapist practice from the perspective of the learner.

Can the disruption of teachers’ relationships with themselves, as both teachers and learners, be a source for professional growth? In this chapter the authors explore teachers’ professional development experiences as a source for disrupting relationships with the “self-as-teacher” and “self-as-learner” and the way this process can facilitate innovative changes in their teaching practices. While some may view “disrupting relationships” as a negative move, the chapter will frame a view of such relational ruptures with subsequent repair as potentially growth fostering. In contrast to a view that sees disrupting relationships as a negative move, this work provides a view of reconciliation and repair as one that propels the individual forward – a move that is steeped in learning about self and about other. Developmentally, the authors understand the sense of disconnection, or rupture, as an essential “evolutionary” step as individuals continue to move beyond their mental and emotional boundaries increasing growth and learning (Kegan, 1982, 1994). In seeking to understand the teachers’ experiences, this work provides an intimate and descriptive picture of the negotiations participants made during and after an extended professional development seminar vis-à-vis their learning and teaching practice. In doing so, the authors make visible the complicated processes involved as teachers question conventional practices and invite innovation into their classrooms.

The article analyzes the problem of professional development of the individual from the moment of choosing a profession at the senior stage of training in an educational institution and building an individual professional route, to the formation of professional identity at the stage of completion of training at a University and readiness to engage in independent professional activity. The article deals with the issues that lie at the origins of the professionalization of the individual, related to the formation of complete, clear ideas at the stage of training at school. The results of an empirical study of the professional identity of University graduates are presented. The respondents were students-bachelors in the number of 150 people. The following methods were used: "A questionnaire aimed at studying ideas about the object of activity (E. I. Rogova), methods for studying the status of professional identity (A. A. Azbel, A. G. Gretsov); diagnostics of self-efficacy using the Maddux and Scheer method. It is established that the status of formed professional identity prevails among graduate students with high self-efficacy, the status of moratorium prevails among graduate students with medium self-efficacy, and the status of imposed professional identity distinguishes graduate students with low self–efficacy.

Insight Into

The purpose of holding scientific articles is to train students' abilities to be more sensitive to the world of education in their surroundings, and also to complete assignments that have been given by lecturers to students. For the research method using descriptive qualitative methods or easier, namely using interviews, with this interview method, the information we need is easier to obtain and also obtained easily. Because the information we get comes directly from the source, so there is no misinformation in it. The results that I have obtained from the interviews and articles that I have made have had a significant impact on me regarding education in my own village and have also given me more insight into education. The conclusion that I can take is that in the implementation of teaching and learning activities it is not always done face to face but can be done online as it is today due to conditions that do not allow face to face learning, but still it is a maximum effort to connect the education chain without break the education chain.

Insight Into

The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the question of whether the phenomenon of self-fulfilling prophecy present in face-to-face interactions can also be identified in electronic negotiation processes. In a 2x2 experiment with 116 subjects the authors found that beliefs about both the climate (conflict intensity and social relationship) and the individual negotiation style with their particular impact on negotiation outcomes came true – irrespective of the controlled context variables or negotiation partner. They confirmed the dynamics of self-fulfilling prophecy in computer-based communication. Based on the authors’ results they recommend that negotiators create a pleasant ambiance in order to support positive expectations and try to understand the partner’s negotiation style in order to (re-)act appropriately.

Purpose Communication between allied health professionals, teachers, and family members is a critical skill when addressing and providing for the individual needs of patients. Graduate students in speech-language pathology programs often have limited opportunities to practice these skills prior to or during externship placements. The purpose of this study was to research a mixed reality simulator as a viable option for speech-language pathology graduate students to practice interprofessional communication (IPC) skills delivering diagnostic information to different stakeholders compared to traditional role-play scenarios. Method Eighty graduate students ( N = 80) completing their third semester in one speech-language pathology program were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: mixed-reality simulation with and without coaching or role play with and without coaching. Data were collected on students' self-efficacy, IPC skills pre- and postintervention, and perceptions of the intervention. Results The students in the two coaching groups scored significantly higher than the students in the noncoaching groups on observed IPC skills. There were no significant differences in students' self-efficacy. Students' responses on social validity measures showed both interventions, including coaching, were acceptable and feasible. Conclusions Findings indicated that coaching paired with either mixed-reality simulation or role play are viable methods to target improvement of IPC skills for graduate students in speech-language pathology. These findings are particularly relevant given the recent approval for students to obtain clinical hours in simulated environments.
