Strategies for the Establishment of Scientific Academic and Training ICT System for Student-Athletes’ Core Competency Management

The field of athletic advising has existed since the 1970s. In the early 1990s, the National Collegiate Athletic Association mandated that higher education institutions provide academic support for student-athletes. Few researchers have identified those serving as athletic advisors, so the literature features little data on advisor demographics, training, education, and work responsibilities. Therefore, the background and experiences of 277 members of the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics, who responded to a survey, were explored. Specifically, athletic advisor educational and training background, burnout levels, meaning of the profession as participants describe it, advice for prospective advisors, and the knowledge they wish they had gained before entering the field are addressed. Dramaturgy was utilized as a framework for analyzing this research.

The education and training of medical students and trainees is a key role of senior clinicians, and the General Medical Council states we ‘must develop the skills, attitudes and practices of a competent teacher’ (General Medical Council, 2005). The Royal College of Psychiatrists places the role of educator as a core competency for psychiatrists (Bhugra, 2005) and believes we should understand ‘the principles of education and use teaching methods appropriate to educational objectives' (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2004).

Considering the student athletes’ enhanced level of neural, emotional and physical stress (academic and sport stress), the paper provides materials substantiating the means of normalizing the functional state of athlete students’ bodies and selecting urgent stimulation and restoration methods during an academic and training day that could be applied by students independently. The existing pool of devices and methods, as well as the means for restoring and stimulating working capacity are analyzed based on identifying the psycho-physiological status during the academic day at academic classes. Opportunities for non-medicine and nondevice express means and methods of urgent restoration of students’ working capacity are explored, borrowing from the Oriental medicine arsenal (Chinese, Indian, Korean and Japanese mudras; Sujok massage of special points on fingers, palms and auricle). They are simple, the procedure takes little time and is highly efficient. Application of Oriental techniques results in a positive trend of restoring students’ working capacity and general state. It is recommended to include only validated, most efficient, understandable and practically available means of stimulation and restoration from the number of Oriental practices into complexes for student athletes, and these means’ application should take into account the functional state. It is preferable for the procedure to be harmless, simple and quick and for its time interval and effect duration to be clear.

Competency Management

Abstract In the domain of technology-enhanced competency-based learning and training, there is an increased interest in the integration of competency-related information for supporting competency-driven decision-making purposes. Indeed, since competency development draws upon several related areas, including teaching subjects, instructional design, learning resource annotation, e-Portfolios and motivated by the need for an integrated and semantic-based approach to competency management and development, a series of ontological structures have been formalized and developed for each of these areas. This paper aims to provide a framework specification for lifelong competency management and development, called LCMDF. The main advantage of this framework lies in its ability to provide a unifying semantic foundation in the form of a set of controlled vocabularies for describing competencies and their related details within the contexts of technology-enhanced competency-based learning and training. Moreover, this framework provides a novel integrated model to support a wide range of use cases. The proposed framework results from reusing widespread international standards for competency modeling which helps designing and implementing interoperability architecture of semantically-enhanced competency-based learning/human resource (HR) systems.

Via their social-media postings, student-athletes are increasingly creating public relations issues for college athletic programs. With social media’s emergence as a popular communication tool, exploring the messages student-athletes receive from their athletic departments about social-media use is warranted. This research examined social-media policies in student-athlete handbooks from 159 NCAA Division I schools. Using thematic and textual analytic procedures, analysis revealed that policies heavily emphasize content restrictions and external monitoring and frame social media as laden with risk. The results suggest that social-media policies should be more reflexive to identify both positive and negative outcomes for student-athletes. In addition, athletic departments must assertively monitor social-media trends to ensure that policies and training stay relevant.
