Disclaimer In an effort to expedite the publication of articles, AJHP is posting manuscripts online as soon as possible after acceptance. Accepted manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are posted online before technical formatting and author proofing. These manuscripts are not the final version of record and will be replaced with the final article (formatted per AJHP style and proofed by the authors) at a later time. Purpose The purpose of this study was to gauge postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) pharmacy residency candidates’ reactions to supplemental applications, as well as aspects specific to our process, including a personality test and situational judgment test (SJT). Methods After rank lists were submitted, applicants to our program were invited to complete an online survey. Outcomes of interest included candidates’ perceptions of relevance and fairness. Whether candidates’ attitudes differed based on the receipt of an interview offer was also assessed. Results Of 199 applicants to our program for the 2021-2022 training year, 48 applicants (24.1%) completed the survey, 15 of whom had received an interview offer. Most (64.6%) agreed that supplemental applications were useful, and nearly all (95.8%) indicated that they were willing to submit one for programs in which they were most interested. The process was seen as being fair, although ratings were higher among those who received interview offers. Most respondents believed that the personality test and SJT were relevant to the role of a resident, but attitudes towards the SJT were generally more favorable and less likely to vary according to whether candidates received an interview offer. Candidates believed that the personality test and SJT were not as representative of them as letters of reference or their curriculum vitae, but perceptions of academic performance varied. Conclusion Applicants responded positively to our supplemental application and indicated that they would be willing to complete one for programs of interest. These findings should help assuage concerns about the use of supplemental applications, particularly when short-answer or essay formats are avoided.

The End of Flying: Coronavirus Confinement, Academic (Im)mobilities and Me

This chapter focuses on how the coronavirus pandemic disrupted ‘normal’ academic life and travel through an analysis of my own travel history over the past decade. After contextualising the ways in which quarantines and confinement radically decreased travel, the chapter has three parts. In the first part, I document my own curriculum vitae of academic travel over the past decade and quantitatively measure my estimated CO2 emissions. Next, I seek to situate the value of such academic travel in both quantitative and qualitative terms, through extrinsic measures such as publications and impact and through intrinsic values such as the experience of different cultures and places. Lastly, I look at the transition to virtual events and my own participation in online events during the past nine months and consider the relation between physical and virtual meetings within academic practices. Insofar as the pandemic demonstrated our ability to transform academic travel and accelerate the use of remote meetings within academic practices, a pressing concern is how to find ways of extending this into the post-pandemic phase. Among the questions I ask in conclusion are: What possibilities are there for more seriously extending remote no-fly meetings to address the climate emergency? And what are the implications of such changes, both positive and negative?

Layanan BAIIK sebagai Strategi BKK Guna Meningkatkan Keterserapan Alumni pada Dunia Kerja

Salah satu ukuran keberhasilan Pendidikan Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan diantaranya dilihat dari tingginya angka penempatan di dunia kerja bagi tamatan sekolah tersebut. Namun saat ini berkembang isu di tengah masyarakat, bahwa SMK merupakan penyokong angka pengangguran terbesar di Indonesia. Beberapa permasalahan yang dihadapi calon tenaga kerja antara lain: kurangnya berlatih mengerjakan soal psikotest, kesulitan membuat berkas lamaran kerja, curriculum vitae, kurang percaya diri saat interview serta kegagalan saat medical ceck up,serta beberapa masalah di luar diri canaker. Hal tersebut mendorong penulis untuk bekerjasama dengan tim humas untuk bekerja keras membuat terobosan guna meningkatkan keterserapan kerja. Strategi Layanan BAIIK (Bimbingan Aktif Ikhlas Informatif Kooperatif) yang dilaksanakan penulis sejak tahun 2016 hingga sekarang ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterserapan alumni di dunia kerja. Melalui strategi layanan ini keterserapan canaker pada dunia kerja di atas 80% setiap tahunnya. Saran dari penulis kepada sekolah khususnya Waka Humas, supaya layanan ini dilakukan secara kontinyu, anggota tim humas ditambah dan mau bekerja secara pro aktif serta peduli kepada canaker. Selain itu canaker harus giat belajar, berlatih dalam berbagai hal guna meningkatkan kompetensinya supaya bisa bersaing dengan alumni sekolah lainnya.

Aristocracy or Meritocracy? The Role of Elite Pedigree and Research Performance in New Accounting Faculty Placements

This paper investigates the influences of elitism and merit in new accounting faculty. Building on research showing that search committees value pedigree in hiring new faculty, we theorize both aristocratic (e.g., accessing or reinforcing elite networks) and meritocratic (e.g., signaling stronger future research potential) influences on the hiring of new accounting faculty. Using curriculum vitae from 381 Accounting Ph.D. Rookie Recruiting and Research Camps, we examine whether candidates graduating from elite accounting institutions place disproportionately higher than do their non-elite peers. Results suggest that elite pedigree predicts placement rank among candidates without favorable publication outcomes at top journals (e.g. acceptance or invitation to resubmit) but not among candidates with favorable publication outcomes. The results suggest joint and complex aristocratic (elite-based) and meritocratic (productivity-based) influences in new accounting faculty hiring.

Análisis de la producción y redes de colaboración en los programas de doctorado en psicología en Colombia

El objetivo de la formación doctoral es la generación y difusión de nuevo conocimiento, sin embargo, no es claro cómo los programas de doctorado en Colombia se relacionan con este tipo de producción académica. A partir de ello, en el presente estudio se presenta el panorama general de la producción académica a través de las instituciones de educación superior colombianas que ofertan programas de formación doctoral en psicología. La producción académica se obtuvo de la base de datos Scopus en una muestra de 13 universidades. Tras una búsqueda inicial, se encontraron 1345 documentos, con los cuales se realizó un análisis de los indicadores de productividad y de las redes de colaboración al interior de la disciplina en el país. Posteriormente, esta información se contrastó con la información nacional registrada en el sistema de Currículum Vitae Latinoamericano y del Caribe (CvLAC) de 193 profesores asociados a las universidades que ofertan los programas de doctorado. Al comparar la producción académica nacional e internacional, se encontró una mayor correlación entre la dirección de tesis de posgrado y la publicación en revistas nacionales. Por lo tanto, se puede afirmar que el impacto de la formación doctoral en la generación de nuevo conocimiento es relativo y tiene un alcance limitado, siendo principalmente las revistas nacionales el medio de difusión de este conocimiento. Se recomienda evaluar el impacto de los productos asociados a la formación posgradual y la visibilidad internacional, con énfasis en las revistas indexadas en bases de datos internacionales.

Irmã Maria Montenegro como gestora escolar: da escolarização elitista à educação dos pobres no Ceará (1969-1987)

O objeto deste estudo é a biografia de Maria Lúcia de Sousa Montenegro, conhecida socialmente como Irmã Maria Montenegro, uma freira que dedicou mais de 60 anos de sua vida à educação, exercendo as funções de professora, orientadora educacional e diretora. Objetivou-se compreender a atuação profissional de Irmã Maria Montenegro como gestora no cenário educativo da segunda metade do século XX na cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará (1969-1987). O estudo ampara-se teoricamente na História Cultural ao desenvolver uma pesquisa do tipo biográfica que utilizou a História Oral como metodologia. As entrevistas temáticas, realizadas com cinco colaboradoras, foram gravadas, transcritas, textualizadas e validadas, sendo, em seguida, entrecruzadas com fontes documentais – livros, jornais, registro biográfico e curriculum vitae. Os resultados apontaram que Irmã Maria finalizou a Educação Primária em um grupo escolar da cidade de Quixadá, sertão central do Ceará, e, em seguida, mudou-se para a capital cearense a fim de fazer o curso normal no Colégio Justiniano de Serpa. Aos 19 anos, ingressou na vida religiosa, tornando-se Irmã de Caridade e dedicando-se a instruir moças da elite da sociedade, como professora e diretora do Colégio da Imaculada Conceição. Utilizou seu prestígio e reconhecimento social para dedicar-se à educação dos pobres nos colégios públicos Cristo Redentor e Patronato Sagrada Família, localizados na periferia da capital. Irmã Maria Montenegro ganhou prêmios e homenagens, no entanto, sua memória não ganhou a devida preservação, ainda que entrecruze a História da Educação do Ceará, permitindo melhor compreendê-la.
