Acreditación de competencias de los orientadores profesionales en contextos no escolares: El Proyecto Europeo EAS (European Accreditation Scheme)

RESUMENEl proyecto europeo EAS financiado por el Programa Leonardo da Vinci diseña y valida un sistema europeo de acreditación en competencias para profesionales de la orientación en contextos no escolares. En él se definen los siguientes objetivos: 1) Revisar los sistemas de acreditación de los orientadores europeos, 2) Desarrollar un listado de competencias que conforman un sistema de acreditación en 17 países europeos, 3) Realizar un estudio piloto con 350 orientadores y 4) Elaborar el Manual Explicativo del sistema de acreditación propuesto. Para ello, se sigue una metodología cualitativa y cuantitativa y se utilizaran diversas fuentes de recogida de datos. Las conclusiones señalan la existencia de una necesidad real y pertinencia de los sistemas de acreditación a nivel europeo.ABSTRACTThe European project EAS has been financed by the Leonardo da Vinci program with the aim of developing and validating an European frame of basic professional standards —a common accreditation system— for those working as career practitioners outside the school context. Four phases along two years were necessary, with the following objectives: 1) Revision of the existing systems of accreditation for guidance practitioners, 2) Development of a list and a system of accreditation of competencies for guidance practitioners, 3) Pilot study through 350 practitioners in 17 European countries, and 4) Development of the Users Manual for the accreditation system obtained. A mixed methodology (qualitative and quantitative), different sources of data gathering (online questionnaire, personal surveys and review of documentation) and several samples were used for the pilot study. For the descriptive analysis, an intended sampled was chosen.The results obtained are a common system of competencies accreditation for guidance practitioners and a user’s manual. Conclusions point the existence of a real need for such accreditation systems and the contribution of this proposal to fill the gap for this type of tools.

Online Questionnaire

The present study examines the context of a competition won (Leonardo da Vinci), the young people's eating habits. Within the framework of research online questionnaire we filled up with students from the countries participating in the project, including 465 evaluable substances. In our study, we analyzed the students' preferences and food consumption of traditional foods and their motivations for fast food.

Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century, used injection replica techniques to study internal surfaces of the cerebral ventricles. Developments in replicating media have made it possible for modern morphologists to examine injection replicas of lung and kidney with the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Deeply concave surfaces and interrelationships to tubular structures are difficult to examine with the SEM. Injection replicas convert concavities to convexities and tubes to rods, overcoming these difficulties.Batson's plastic was injected into the renal artery of a horse kidney. Latex was injected into the pulmonary artery and cementex in the trachea of a cat. Following polymerization the tissues were removed by digestion in concentrated HCl. Slices of dog kidney were aldehyde fixed by immersion. Rat lung was aldehyde fixed by perfusion via the trachea at 30 cm H2O. Pieces of tissue 10 x 10 x 2 mm were critical point dried using CO2. Selected areas of replicas and tissues were coated with silver and gold and examined with the SEM.
