A review of the literature on university faculty advanced training for research and teaching activities is presented. Based on the analysis of the experience of Russian and foreign universities, the principles for developing a modern faculty advanced training system at the university are set out responding to the challenges associated with the ongoing and expected changes in the content and technology of student training, primarily in the field of STEM. It is proposed to use the CDIO ++ approach for advanced training of faculty of various categories (professor, associate professor, assistant) to research and teaching activities in the conditions of division of labor when creating and implementing educational products at various stages of their life cycle. The distribution of academic staff potential is shown and an assessment of the resources of a program for faculty advanced training is given on the basis of the CDIO ++ approach for a hypothetical university with a given structure and established priorities for faculty members of various categories.

ABSTRACT Ellen Gleditsch (1879-1968) became Norway's first authority of radioactivity and the country's second female professor. After several years in international centers of radiochemistry, Gleditsch returned to Norway, becoming associate professor and later full professor of chemistry. Between 1916 and 1946 Gleditsch tried to establish a laboratory of radiochemistry at the University of Oslo, a career which included network building, grant applications, travels abroad, committee work, research, teaching, supervision, popularization, and war resistance work. Establishing a new field was demanding; only under her student, Alexis Pappas, was her field institutionalized at Oslo. This paper presents Gleditsch's everyday life at the Chemistry Department, with emphasis on her formation of a research and teaching laboratory of radiochemistry. Her main scientific work during this period is presented and discussed, including atomic weight determination of chlorine, age calculations in minerals, the hunt for actinium's ancestor and investigations on 40K.

Although it has a long history teacher training subject in Turkey could not somehow have gotten the desired quality. The aim of the research is to determine the effectiveness of the Pedagogical Formation Education Program carried out at the Erciyes University, Faculty of Education in the 2014-2015 academic year. In this study prepared in order to determine the effectiveness of pedagogical formation program, descriptive and experimental models have been used together. The preliminary test-final test have been applied in order to determine the program's academic success and to determine the contributions that the program provides opinions of the students have been taken through the survey method. The universe of the study consists of the students participating into the Pedagogical Formation Program carried out at the Erciyes University, Faculty of Education. The results obtained from the study and the literature show that there is an incompatibility among the students, academic staff and the program in terms of teacher training. The teachers do not even believe in the necessity of the program. Under such conditions the teaching profession needs to be defined again. All parties concerned with the case. Leaving aside all their political concerns and political disputes should come together and firstly reforms should be done in accordance with the conditions of the country and science in the teacher training system itself, in determining the teacher training institutes, in making clear the status of teacher, and in the teacher training programs.

Obviously, digital technology offers simplified solutions to solve or mitigate problems in general. In the academic sector in particular, the field training is one of the core courses that students must enroll during the third and fourth academic year, where the students have manually to select a relevant organization or institution based on their specialization. The academic staff and hosting institutions do not supervise the trainees as required due to lack of communication between them, wrong selection of the hosting institutions by students in some cases, limited following-up the trainees, thus leading to uncertainty in the number of training hours and reports required by students. These problems can be addressed or mitigated by proposing an electronic training system improving the communication between supervisors of field training, host institutions, and trainees and thus solving most of the mentioned problems. Based on this e-training system, the training unit at the university could therefore follow-up the trainees and thus improve the communication and cooperation with the training institutions. It will also definitely contribute in improving the training task itself for the students. In this proposed paper, the importance of the proposed system was presented. Other related systems were mentioned and used as references in the analysis stage. In the analytical stage, data was collected using 3 different questionnaires developed for students, supervising staff, and for the training institutions. Consequently, obstacles and problems faced these entities were extracted and mentioned. Finally, a preliminary design was proposed in this paper to develop and implement an electronic training system at Palestine Ahliya University.

The academic landscape in higher education institutions (universities) in southern Africa (countries in SADC)) remains highly influenced by western epistemologies. This is despite the fact that these academic institutions are situated in independent states. The research and teaching activities in universities are entrenched within western theories and knowledge disciplines that are presented as neutral, universal and singular. The implication is that while we celebrate political independence we are still entrapped in continuing coloniality. This points to a need for reframing the curriculum to prioritise the interests of Africans. This chapter explores possible factors that contribute to the continued alienation of indigenous knowledges in southern African universities. It argues that in order to achieve the indigenisation of universities in Africa there is a need for a decolonial process to subvert and decentre western epistemologies by offering African Indigenous epistemologies and African-centred standpoints as alternatives in research and teaching processes in the academy.

The participation in Erasmus and Erasmus+ programmes is the most popular form of mobility among the university teachers and other academic staff as well as students. The geographers of Klaipėda University can study in more than 20 universities of different regions of Europe, and the geography of studies expands from year to year. While studying in foreign countries, they not only deepen their knowledge, but also broaden the geographic scope, acquaint with new people and cultures, strengthen the knowledge of foreign language. From the other side, the students of foreign universities, having been chosen the geographic modules at Klaipėda University, have a possibility to see and learn about the nature of Western Lithuania, social and economic objects, the cultural environment. According to the foreign students, the studies are organized so, that academic staff is able to collaborate with each student immediately, and the atmosphere of studies is very good. Besides the foreign students, Klaipėda University receives also the foreign academic staff, organizes the international practices, develops the projects, and the academic staff of Klaipėda university has a possibility to visit the universities of foreign countries. Those visits give the invaluable benefit to the teachers, because one can receive more experience, and the newly adopted methods may be applied at Klaipėda University.

Education should be developed parallel to the development of science and technology. Research in the field of Space Radio Electronic Communication Systems is currently being updated. Their use without training and advanced training of national personnel will be ineffective. Therefore, the education system, in particular the Advanced Training System, must respond to these changes in a timely manner. The article considers an integrated approach to designing a curriculum for advanced training courses on the example of the direction “Radio Electronic Devices and Systems” for academic staff of Higher Education, which involves the design of a curriculum based on an analysis of the needs of academic staff and an analysis of professional competencies necessary for the organization of scientific and pedagogical activities in Higher Education in the conditions of digitalization of education.

AbstractThe Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV, Switzerland) is a university hospital with more than 11,000 employees who perform clinical, research and teaching roles. It was ranked in March 2019 among the ten best hospitals in the world according to the magazine Newsweek. The education scheme of the CHUV includes the practical training of more than 1700 young people, in particular from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland (HES-SO). This research and development, carried out in collaboration with the University of Teacher Education of State of Vaud (UTE Vaud), has enabled the creation and implementation of a cyclical method for evaluating the satisfaction of HES-SO healthcare students at CHUV. The method created and tested—the Cycle of Construction and Quality Control for Satisfaction Evaluations (CCQCSE)—comprises nine stages: Issues, Analysis, Design, Items, Information, Collection, Processing, Feedback and Adjustment. It was designed with the help of a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals (CHUV) and experts in education sciences (UTE Vaud) as part of a master’s thesis (Kaeser 2018) directed by our research team. A 4-month pilot phase allowed more than 250 placement students’ satisfaction levels to be collected with respect to ten aspects of the practical training scheme, and provided diagnostic feedback. Identifying strengths and areas for improvement has significantly helped with the development of a quality policy for student training at the institution. CCQCSE is now considered as a robust method in line with the quality measures already in place at CHUV. In particular, it encouraged those responsible for the practical training to reflect on their mentoring practices. Beyond the context of CHUV and the mentoring of healthcare students on placements, the CCQCSE model could be transferred to other sectors in which training placements are offered, opening up new avenues of collaborative research.
