Introduction: Trainee pharmacists are required to undertake a work-based pre-registration training placement (PRTP) in order to qualify. Literature exploring how this placement influences the development of students’ professionalism is sparse, however it is acknowledged that placements offer learning that can not be replicated in an academic environment. Following recent recommendations for the PRTP to be split into two six-month placements, the “sandwich” Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) programme at the University of Bradford offers a unique opportunity to study the impact of an early PRTP. This project aimed to understand the experiences of “sandwich” students during their early PRTP and generate a theory explaining how professionalism develops during this time. Methods: A constructivist grounded theory approach was taken. Fourteen students who had recently completed their early PRTP were interviewed using semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. A constant comparative approach to analysis was taken. Findings: The process developing a professional identity emerged as the core category. This consisted of four interlinking stages; reflection, selection of attributes, professional socialisation and perception of role. Developing a professional identity occurred under the conditions of realising the reality of the profession, developing practical knowledge and skills and learning from mentors. The consequence of developing a professional identity was that participants felt they were now a trainee professional. Discussion and conclusion: The theory demonstrates that developing a professional identity was the main process that occurred whilst MPharm students were on their early PRTP. Regulatory, funding and educational organisations should consider this when reviewing pharmacists’ training and students’ approach on return to university.

Este estudo foi realizado com estagiárias de educação infantil e apresenta como objetivo geral analisar para compreender qual o espaço concedido ao saber ludo-sensível na prática pedagógica de estagiárias que atuavam na Creche UFBA, buscando identificar a contribuição do estágio na construção desse saber. A abordagem é qualitativa e a opção metodológica desta pesquisa foi inspirada na etnopesquisa. As técnicas de coletas de dados utilizadas foram observação participante e entrevista, e os sujeitos da pesquisa, estudantes de pedagogia da FACED/UFBA, que realizavam estágio remunerado na Creche da mesma Universidade. Os objetivos específicos são: conhecer e vislumbrar como se manifesta o saber ludo-sensível na prática pedagógica das estagiárias; investigar se e como a prática de estágio remunerado na Creche UFBA tem contribuído para a construção e mobilização desse saber. Os resultados indicaram que o saber ludo-sensível faz parte dos saberes profissionais das estagiárias que participaram da pesquisa: elas demonstraram esse saber através da rotina diária de suas práticas pedagógicas, de aspectos intersubjetivos e de compreensões apresentadas a respeito do saber ludo-sensível. O estágio na Creche UFBA apareceu neste trabalho como aspecto importante na construção do saber estudado. / ABSTRACT This research studies a kind of teaching knowledge denominated playful-sensible knowledge which permits the integration of various dimensions of the human being in the educational process. This study was realized with with trainee in child education. Its main goal is analyze the space devoted to the playful-sensible knowledge in the pedagogical practice of the trainee working at UFBA's (Federal University of Bahia, Brazil) kindergarten, trying to identify the contribution of the trainee period in the construction of this knowledge. Our approach is qualitative and inspired by ethnographic research. Data was collected through participant observation and interviews with the subjects of the research, pedagogy students form the UFBA's School of Education doing a remunerated trainee period in this university's kindergarten. The UFBA has contributed to the construction and use application of this knowledge. Our results indicate that the playful-sensible knowledge belongs to the professional knowledge of the trainees who were part of this research: they demonstrate this knowledge through their daily routine of pedagogical practices, inter-subjective dimensions and understandings about the playful-sensible knowledge. The trainee period at this kindergarten revealed itself an important element for the construction of this knowledge.

A presente pesquisa buscou \'investigar a interação das competências desenvolvidas pelos cursos de administração em seus estudantes e a demanda do mercado de trabalho\'. Para alcançar este objetivo geral, foram estabelecidos os seguintes objetivos específicos: analisar os fatores que influenciam no desenvolvimento das competências dos estudantes nos cursos de administração; determinar quais competências os formandos de administração acreditam possuir; reconhecer o grau de cada competência que os estudantes acreditam que foram desenvolvidas durante a graduação de administração; reconhecer quais competências os programas de trainee exigem dos candidatos em seus processos seletivos; verificar quais as principais diferenças, em termos de competências, dos administradores e das demais formações universitárias que competem para uma mesma vaga nos programas de trainee; e comparar as competências exigidas pelas empresas que possuem programa de trainee com as competências que os formandos acreditam possuir. Para a condução da pesquisa, adotou-se a abordagem quali-quanti. Na abordagem quantitativa ocorreu a realização de survey com 377 estudantes formandos de cursos de administração de excelência e 25 empresas detentoras de programas de trainee, por meio de aplicação de questionários, analisados por meio do software SPSS. Já na abordagem qualitativa, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 10 coordenadores de cursos de administração de excelência e analisadas as questões abertas presentes nos questionários dos estudantes e das empresas. As entrevistas foram gravadas e o conteúdo das falas foi transcrito na íntegra e submetido à análise temático-categorial proposta por Bardin. As categorias foram transformadas em variáveis e processadas pelo software NVivo10 ®. Os fatores que os coordenadores consideram importantes no desenvolvimento destas competências são: ética, empreendedorismo, características do curso, projeto pedagógico, currículo, competência, carreira, expectativa do mercado, perfil, teoria e prática, estágio, intercâmbio, interdisciplinaridade, professores, estudantes, importância dos coordenadores e autonomia dos estudantes. Em linhas gerais, os estudantes se auto avaliaram bem em todas as competências e foram identificados 3 clusters. Dentre as competências que as empresas relataram que os administradores se destacam está a visão sistêmica e houve consenso em três competências exigidas nos processos seletivos: \'possuir iniciativa\', \'trabalhar em equipe\' e \'construir relacionamento e colaboração\'. As empresas constituíram 3 clusters distintos, com exigências diferentes de competências para ingresso em seus programas de trainee. Competências identificadas na literatura como fundamentais ao administrador figuraram entre as menos valorizadas pelas empresas, como \'pensamento crítico\' e \'criatividade\', apontando que as competências que as empresas exigem devem ser estudadas, porém não devem, apenas elas, orientar a elaboração e consecução dos PPP\'s nos cursos de administração. / The present work sought to \"investigate the interaction between the competences developed in the students by the administration courses and the need of the market\". To reach this general objective, the following specific objectives have been established: to analyze the factors that influence the competence development in business administration students; to determine which of the competences the under-graduated administration students believe to have; to recognize the level of development of each competence the students believe to achieve during the graduation; to recognize which competences the trainee programs demand form their applicants in the selection processes; to verify, in terms of competences, the main differences between undergraduated students of administration and other majors that compete for the same job opening in the trainee programs; and to compare the competences demanded by the companies that have trainee programs and the competences the administration undergraduated students believe to have. To conduct this research, it was adopted the qualiquanti approach. In the quantitative approach, a survey was realized, through questionnaire application, with 377 under-graduating students from first class administration colleges and 25 companies that have a trainee program. In the qualitative approach, 10 first class administration colleges\' coordinators have been interviewed, and the open questions from the students and companies\' questionnaires have been analyzed. The interviews were recorded and the content was transcript and submitted to the thematic-categorical analysis proposed by Bardin. The categories were transformed into variables and processed by the software NVivo10TM. The factors that the coordinators consider important in the development of the competences are: ethics, entrepreneurship, courses characteristics, pedagogic project, curriculum, competence, career, market expectation, profile, theory and practice, internship, exchange studies, interdisciplinary, professors, students, coordinators importance and students autonomy.In general, the students self-evaluated themselves well in all competences and 3 clusters have been identified. Among the competences that the companies consider that the administrators have an outstanding performance, is systemic view. In the selection processes there were 3 competences that were consensus: \'to have initiative\', \'teamwork\' and \'to build relationship and collaboration\'. The companies were grouped in 3 different clusters, demanding different competences to their trainee program. Some competences that are listed in the literature as fundamental to the administrator, such as \'critical thinking\' and \'creativity\', were among the least valuable to the companies, suggesting that the competences that companies demand should be developed, but they should not be the only to guide the administration courses.

L’institution confie aux maîtres formateurs une double mission d'enseignement dans une classe et de formateur d'adultes, leur confiant un rôle de « travailleur modèle » à la fois relais de la parole institutionnelle et représentant des « bonnes pratiques ». Ils sont alors assujettis à des phénomènes d’Arrière-plan qui conditionnent leurs possibilités d’action.L’enquête, menée dans un contexte de réforme institutionnelle (mise en place de la mastérisation des enseignants) met en évidence des contraintes qui pèsent sur les maîtres formateurs, tenus à un « devoir d’excellence » dans le cadre d’un ensemble de valeurs transmises et transformées tout au long de l’histoire de l’enseignement primaire, des écoles normales aux IUFM. Les données de terrain recueillies se composent d’entretiens avec des formateurs mais aussi d’observations directes : des stages de formation de formateurs (conférences pédagogiques), des situations de formation et d’évaluation des stagiaires, et des éléments d’autoanalyse de la pratique. La thèse montre que la dévolution de cette mission de formation aux maîtres formateurs produit, en lien avec un besoin de reconnaissance et de distinction, un double mouvement d’assujettissement aux demandes institutionnelles d’une part, et d’émancipation de la condition d’enseignant « ordinaire » d’autre part. Le concept de sensibilité au contrat institutionnel permet alors de comprendre comment les maîtres formateurs opèrent des ajustements entre les injonctions institutionnelles et les contraintes de la pratique. / Within the educational system, mentors are entrusted with two tasks: teaching, as well as training adults. In a sense, they are expected to act as “model workers”, transmitting official wisdom, and publicizing “good practices”. They are subjected to Background effects, which determine their leeway. Our research was conducted in the context of institutional changes, namely the granting of MAs to trainees for the teaching profession. It highlights the constraints bearing upon mentors, who are expected to maintain standards of excellence. Such standards were inherited from the traditional training schools for primary education (“écoles normales”) as well as the newer teacher training institutions (IUFM), but also underwent significant changes. Primary sources include interviews with mentors as well as direct observation: Training schemes for mentors, training sessions and assessment of trainees, self analysis. This dissertation purports to demonstrate that the granting of a responsibility in training to mentors craving for recognition and distinction leaves them in a double bind. On the one hand they are subjected to institutional injunctions, on the other hand they aspire to professional freedom and autonomy, just as any other teacher. Mentors in fact negotiate their way between official demands and the constraints of practical work. Acknowledging the existence of a “compact” between mentors and their institutional employer is essential to an understanding of this process of negotiation.

This dissertation explores the experiences of a psychotherapist in training. Psychotherapeutic training can be described as taxing, because personal change often results from the process, and change can be difficult. This study is an action research enquiry that focused on a living theory methodology. A living theory enquiry strives to find answers to the question of how to improve the practice (in this dissertation, the practice of sychotherapy). In order to find answers to this question, the researcher embarks on a journey of reflective awareness, which highlights whether he or she is able to practise in accordance with his or her personal values. An explicit awareness of both personal and professional values is essential in a living theory enquiry. A living contradiction occurs when a person is unable to consolidate his or her personal and professional values. A living contradiction has a negative impact on a practitioner’s well-being, which may in turn influence how that person practises psychotherapy. This dissertation explores such a living contradiction which the researcher experienced during her training as a psychotherapist. A subtext of the dissertation can be described as the Narrative of a psychotherapist (in training) dealing with personal trauma.

This thesis examines the reflection skills of student English teachers at the Faculty of Education at Charles University in Prague during their teaching practice. The theoretical part introduces the reflective teaching model and looks into the phenomena of the teacher as reflective practitioner. The empirical part deals with the trainee teacher's reflection and methods, topics, depth and frequency. A significant part of the research also examines the influence of university employees (teacher mentors, supervisors, methodologists) as incentive supporters of the students' professional development regarding reflection. Key words: reflection, reflective cycle, reflective practitioner, trainee teacher, teaching practice, teacher mentor, supervisor, teacher education
