Community Agency Supervisors' Experiences with Supervisory Training and Supervision that Address the Knowledge and Skill Areas of Supervision in the Social Service Field

Brown, Megan 07 July 2014 (has links)
Research shows that supervisors in the social service field require on-going training and supervision; however, we do not know much about supervisors’ training and supervision and whether it prepares supervisors for the responsibilities of their jobs. This study used a telephone survey to explore the training and supervision experiences of community agency social service supervisors. The survey directly addressed 20 supervisory knowledge and skill areas identified from the literature review as those necessary for social service supervisors to be effective. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze participants’ responses and describe their training and supervision experiences. The goal of the study was to describe the training and supervision that supervisors receive to see if they address the supervisory knowledge and skill areas identified from the literature. Although the study found that supervisors access more training and supervision than expected, it also found significant inconsistencies in the training and supervision. / Graduate / 0534 / mahbrown@uvic.ca

Knowledge Spillovers Through Human Mobility Across National Borders: Evidence from Zhongguancun Science Park in China

Filatotchev, Igor, Liu, Xiaohui, Lu, Jiangyong, Wright, Mike January 2011 (has links) (PDF)
This paper investigates the impact of returnee entrepreneurs and their knowledge spillovers on innovation in high-tech firms in China. Using panel data for 1,318 high-tech firms in Beijing Zhongguancun Science Park (ZSP) we find that returnee entrepreneurs create a significant spillover effect that promotes innovation in other local high-tech firms. The extent of this spillover effect is positively moderated by the non-returnee firm's absorptive capacity approximated by the skill level of employees. Multinational enterprises' R&D activities positively affect the innovation intensity of non-returnee firms only when these local firms possess the sufficient level of absorptive capacity. Our findings have important policy and managerial implications for policy-makers and practitioners.

Development of a competency framework for the professional development of different categories of nurses in neonatal practice

Scheepers, Mariana January 2019 (has links)
A unique characteristic of neonatal care is the unpredictability of illness at birth and a high-risk period of adaptation in the days thereafter. The majority of newborn infants will survive with little specialised care. However, there will always be a number of newborn infants who will need special care and if not managed properly, they may suffer serious damage or even die. Due to the high risk it is crucial for all levels of healthcare workers involved in the care of the neonates to be competent. In the South African context, nurses play a key role in neonatal practice but they have various levels of competency as they are trained through different programmes with different levels of knowledge and skills on completion. Professional development though is expected to enhance their competencies. A multi-method research design was used to explore and describe competencies for the professional development of different categories of nurses in neonatal practice; to develop a competency framework for professional development of these nurses and to validate the competency framework within the South African context. The theoretical underpinning of the research included the three competency domains (professional and ethical; clinical practice and quality of care) of the South African Nursing Council, as well as Benner’s novice-to-expert model. The result of this study is a competency framework for the professional development of different categories of nurses in neonatal practice. The competency framework for professional development is expected to improve quality and accountability of nurses in neonatal practice. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Nursing Science / PhD / Unrestricted

Flauta doce em curso de Licenciatura em Música : entre as demandas da prática musical e das propostas pedagógicas do instrumento voltadas ao ensino básico

Weichselbaum, Anete Susana January 2013 (has links)
A presente investigação aborda os conhecimentos e habilidades músico-instrumentais e pedagógico-musicais desenvolvidos por licenciandos na disciplina “Flauta Doce no Contexto Escolar”. Tal disciplina é ofertada por uma instituição de ensino superior no segundo semestre do curso de Licenciatura em Música. A pesquisa tem como objetivo geral compreender os modos como os estudantes adquirem, utilizam e sistematizam seus conhecimentos e habilidades músico-instrumentais e pedagógico-musicais e quais desses conhecimentos e habilidades eles valorizam e selecionam, a fim de atender, tanto a demanda pedagógica, como da prática instrumental na disciplina já citada. Os objetivos específicos propostos estão relacionados: ao levantamento de experiências (aprendizagem e docência) dos licenciandos com a flauta doce; à aquisição, utilização, valorização, seleção e sistematização dos seus conhecimentos e habilidades; e à análise de um planejamento para aulas de flauta doce. A opção metodológica consistiu em uma pesquisa colaborativa, na qual participei como pesquisadora e também como professora, a partir do aceite da docente da disciplina, acompanhando a turma. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram a observação participante, entrevistas e reuniões colaborativas com a docente e estudantes da disciplina bem como registros escritos, como diário de campo e cadernos dos trabalhos em conjunto, os registros de áudio e vídeo. O referencial teórico baseia-se nos conhecimentos docentes dos professores, propostos por Shulman (1986) no campo da educação e utilizados por Ballantyne (2005; 2006) na formação de professores de música. Dos sete tipos de conhecimentos elencados por Shulman (1986), destaco o conhecimento do conteúdo da matéria, que pode ser dividido em três categorias, que são o conhecimento do conteúdo da matéria, o conhecimento curricular e o conhecimento pedagógico do conteúdo, que se refere a como dar aulas. No campo da educação musical, além dos conhecimentos, são consideradas também as habilidades instrumentais, pedagógicas e musicais. Os resultados da presente investigação apontam que a compreensão acerca dos conhecimentos e habilidades adotados nessa tese é construída pelos acadêmicos no segundo semestre do curso, havendo variação entre os estudantes e a demanda das tarefas. Foram identificadas e analisadas as três categorias relativas ao conhecimento de conteúdo nas atividades propostas em aula, bem como levantados conhecimentos e habilidades musicais dos licenciandos, como realizar acompanhamentos instrumentais e ter preferência em tocar “de ouvido”. As demandas institucionais dos licenciandos entrevistados que já dão aulas de flauta doce exigem-lhes, além dos conhecimentos e habilidades pedagógicos do conteúdo e conhecimento curricular, conhecimentos e habilidades profissionais e conhecimentos dos fins, princípios e valores da educação. Os acadêmicos destacaram que o planejamento pôde ser construído a partir da sua compreensão do processo vivenciado durante o semestre letivo, com a sequência das aulas, suas atividades e das reflexões geradas. O planejamento dos estudantes que já dão aulas evidenciou os conhecimentos curriculares e conhecimentos e habilidades profissionais. / The present text investigates the musical-instrumental and musical-pedagogical skills and knowledge sets developed by students of a class denominated "The recorder flute in the school context". This class is offered by a graduate level institution during the second semester of the Music Teacher Education Program. The general aim of this research is to understand the modes through which students acquire, use and systematize the knowledge sets as well as the instrumental and pedagogical skills acquired, and which of these knowledges sets and abilities they value and select in order to address the pedagogical requirements and the necessary instrument skills in the aforementioned class. The specific goals proposed are related to: the collection of experiences (apprenticeship and teaching) of licenciates with the recorder; the acquisition, employment, valuing, selection and systematization of their knowledges sets and abilities; and the analysis of a teaching plan for the recorder. The methodological approach consists of a collaborative research group, in which the author participated as a research fellow and also as a teacher, in agreement with the main lecturer in this specific class, monitoring the students. Data gathering procedures included participative observation, interviews and collaborative meetings with the teacher and the students in the class as well as written registries, such as field notes and group assignment notebooks, along with audio and video materials. The theoretical reference is based on the teaching knowledges of teachers as proposed by Shulman (1986) in the field of education and adopted by Ballantyne (2005; 2006) in the training of music teachers. Of the seven types of knowledge listed by Shulman (1986), the author calls specific attention to knowledge of the subject content, curricular knowledge and pedagogical knowledge of the subject matter, which covers how to teach. In the field of music education, besides the knowledge sets, pedagogical, musical and instrumental abilities are also taken into consideration. The results of the present investigation point to the fact that comprehension of the knowledges sets and abilities adopted in this thesis is construed by academics in the second semester of the course, and notes that there is a variation between students and the tasks required. Three categories related to knowledge of the content in activities proposed inside the classroom where identified and analyzed, and musical abilities and knowledges of licenciates where listed, such as the realization of instrumental accompaniments and the preference for "playing by ear". The institutional demands of the interviewed licenciates that already teach require of these, besides the pedagogical knowledge and abilities of the content itself and the curricular subject matters, professional knowledge and abilities related to the goals, principles and values of education. These individuals highlighted that planning was made possible based on their comprehension of the process experienced during the school semester, taking into account class sequence, their activities and the reflections gleaned from these. The teaching plans of the students that already teach put into evidence the curricular and professional knowledge and abilities of these students.
