The Future

Et virtuelt laboratorium er et nødvendigt supplement til fremtidens undervisningsmiljø, som skal være tilgængeligt i store dele af døgnet og for et voksende antal studerende. Ud fra økonomiske hensyn til besparelser kan man hertil argumentere for, at dyre laboratoriekurser i biomedicin skal gøres billigere. Men laboratorie-kurser skal ligeledes nytænkes teknologisk og pædagogisk så de på strategisk og velafprøvet vis kan delvist erstattes af virtuelle laboratorier. Men et sådant digitalt supplement kræver fokus på implementering, faciliteter og kompetencer. I denne artikel vil vi diskutere anvendelsen af virtuelle laboratorier og rapporterer fra et pilotprojekt, hvor både farmakologi-studerende og -undervisere oplevede en række fordele ved at bruge et virtuelt laboratorium. Vi argumenterer for at et virtuelt laboratorium har vigtige didaktiske og økonomisk begrundede ressourcer som kan forstås ud fra sociologen Bourdieus begreber om habitus og hexis. Vi konkluderer dog med diverse forbehold herunder, at undervisere skal lære at bruge et virtuelt laboratorium kritisk og med forberedelse før implementeringAbstract in EnglishThe virtual laboratory is a necessary complement to the future of learning bioscience. The virtual lab is a technology-based mock-up compared to the real lab. This virtual lab needs to be available for various purposes e.g. all day for a growing number of students. There are economical and ethical arguments for using the virtual lab. But in order to function as an optimal instructional strategy they need to be rethought technologically and pedagogically. Such a digital supplement requires a focus on implementation and other facilities and capabilities - including continuing education for the trainers and faculty. This paper discusses the virtual lab and reports from a pilot project where pharmacology students and teachers used a virtual lab. We argue that the virtual lab has important implications and represent an economically justifiable alternative. The virtual lab is juxtaposed with the classical lab through the lenses of habitus and hexis. We argue that educators must learn to use virtual laboratories critically and with preparation for implementation. Furthermore the paper discusses the educational potentials and limitations of the virtual lab compared with the classical laboratory as teaching environment.

The Future

The article is based on the idea of conjugation between social and personal factors in the preparation of a teacher of Physical Education (PE). It creates the conditions for building a harmonious relationship with the surrounding world, finding one’s place in society, vocational orientation, formation of readiness for adaptability and mobility in the future vocational activity. The conditions, ensuring the formation and development of vocational mobility of the future teacher of PE in the socio-cultural educational space of high school, are dialogization, taking part of the future experts in project activities at various levels. We have considered the process of formation and development of vocational mobility of the future expert in the social and cultural educational space of high school within the framework of the continuing education system. The concept of continuing education involves the inclusion of dialogue relationship, which contributes to the formation and development of vocational mobility of the future teacher of PE at all levels: knowledge, skills, creativity, experience in value and emotional orientation. The transition from one level of formation of vocational mobility to the other one in the socio-cultural educational space of high school is provided by the realization of the complex of strategic conditions and pedagogical tactics (pedagogical support, educational accompaniment, enhance social and vocational values), which contribute to the development of the readiness of the future teachers of PE to changes, innovations in the process of vocational activity. Keywords: vocational mobility, educational space, continuing education, strategies and tactics of vocational mobility.

The Future

Relatively few changes will occur in the format for Pediatrics in Review in 1988/1989, its tenth year of publication. Dr Alden's commentary preceeding this expresses the very exciting and challenging tasks that lie ahead to make PIR most useful in the continuing education of pediatricians, especially for those who will receive a time-limited certification in 1988 and the future. You will note questions at the beginning of each article, with the question and multiple choice answers at the end of each article. Answers remain on the inside front cover. The reason for this change is to help focus the reader's attention on what the author and our question writers believe to be most important points in the article.
