Mentorings jauno operācijas māsu apmācībā
2020
ANOTACIJA Pētījuma tēma mentorings jauno operācijas māsu apmācība. Tēma ir aktuāla, jo darba tirgus ir ļoti mainīgs un darbinieku plūsma medicīnā ir ļoti strauja. Tāpēc ir ļoti svarīgi lai būtu kvalitatīvi specialisti, kuri ir ieinteresēti sava darba un profesionālajā pilnveidošana. Un kā izdarīt tā, lai jauni specialisti būtu ieinteresēti? Kvalitatīvi tos apmācīt, lai jaunās māsas saprastu, vai šis darbs ir viņām piemērots. Mentoring ir būtisks, it īpaši operācijas masu praksē, jo jaunās māsas nevar iemācīties visas nepieciešamas iemaņas no teorijas. Šajā jomā pieredzes nodošana jauniem specialistiem ir ļoti svarīgā, ne tikai no jauno iemanu iegūšanas puses, bet ari no psihoemocionālās pus…
Mentora darbība jauno zobārstu profesionālās kompetences pilnveidē
2017
21. gadsimts pilns izaicinājumu un strauju pārmaiņu gadsimts. Tas prasa ikvienam sekot līdzi šiem jaunajiem izaicinājumiem un pārmaiņām, lai sekmīgi iekļautos darba tirgū. Augstākajās mācību iestādēs tiek meklēti jauni risinājumi nepieciešamās kompetences apguvei jauno speciālistu sagatavošanā. Pēdējos gados daudz tiek diskutēts par mentora iespējām jauno speciālistu sagatavošanas procesā. To var attiecināt arī uz zobārstniecības jomu. Tā kā maģistra darba autores praktiskā darbība ir saistīta ar kvalitatīvu veselības aprūpes nodrošināšanu laukos un arī ar zobārstniecību, tad izpētei tika izvēlēta tēma “Mentora darbība jauno zobārstu profesionālās kompetences pilnveidē” Maģistra darba mērķi…
Older Adult Mentors and Youth at Risk: Challenges for Intergenerational Mentoring Programs in Family-Centered Cultures
2012
This article poses some preliminary reflections about the viability of youth mentoring schemes in family-centered cultural contexts based on a pilot experience developed in Spain within the framework of a project aiming to train older adults as youth mentors in five European countries. After an introduction to the field of intergenerational mentoring, a description of the pilot program follows, with special attention paid to the development of the Spanish local project. Drawing on the project evaluation, some open questions are posed regarding (a) the optimal institutional framing for an intergenerational mentoring program and (b) the challenge with social representation of the mentor role.
The Acquisition of Computational Thinking through Mentoring: An Exploratory Study
2020
Educational robotics are commonly present in kindergarten and primary school classrooms, particularly Bee-bot. Its ease of use allows the introduction of computer programming to young children in educational contexts from a science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) perspective. Despite this rise, there are still few investigations that collect evidence on the effectiveness of robotic interventions. Although mentoring experiences with robotics had been carried out in educational contexts, this work explores their effect on the acquisition of computational thinking skills through mentoring. Participants from the second grade, aged seven through eight years, were exposed …
Secondary implant stability outcome of immediate versus late placed variable-thread implants in the maxilla. A retrospective cohort study
2017
BACKGROUND The healing of xenograft augmentated intra-alveolar gaps following immediate implant placement (IMIP) after tooth extraction is likely to differ in time and density compared to the native bone part that directly contacts the implant. MATERIAL AND METHODS Secondary implant stability (SIS) data recorded 2-3 months following a late implant placement protocol (LIP) (n= 43) and 6-8 months following an immediate implant placement protocol (IMIP) (n=33) of variable-thread implants (Nobel Active™) in the maxilla were retrospectively collected from files of 63 patients (42 females, 21 males). Statistical analysis was performed using a generalized estimating equation model (GEE). Data spli…
An exploration of the influence of professional relationships on the career pathways of physical education teacher educators
2018
This paper focuses on the professional journeys of 14 mid- and late-career teacher educators in seven countries in the subject area of physical education. Data was gathered through two rounds of semi-structured interviews and revealed a strong emphasis on the professional relationships impacting upon participants’ entry to and development within the profession. Career interest development, career choice and career performance were all affected by the people with whom participants formed relationships throughout their careers. The findings are discussed with reference to the role of teacher educators in selecting, encouraging and supporting their teacher education colleagues.
Development of perceived competence, tactical skills, motivation, technical skills, and speed and agility in young soccer players
2015
The objective of this 1-year, longitudinal study was to examine the development of perceived competence, tactical skills, motivation, technical skills, and speed and agility characteristics of young Finnish soccer players. We also examined associations between latent growth models of perceived competence and other recorded variables. Participants were 288 competitive male soccer players ranging from 12 to 14 years (12.7 ± 0.6) from 16 soccer clubs. Players completed the self-assessments of perceived competence, tactical skills, and motivation, and participated in technical, and speed and agility tests. Results of this study showed that players' levels of perceived competence, tactical skill…
Inter-generational learning of teachers: what and how do teachers learn from older and younger colleagues?
2018
Abstract: This paper examines how and what teachers learn from their older and younger colleagues. Data were gathered from interviews and written reports from 27 Belgian and Finnish teachers. Thematic qualitative analysis was used. The results revealed differences in what teachers learn from older and younger colleagues. Teachers reported learning innovative teaching methods and ICT skills from younger colleagues, whereas practical information, classroom management skills, self-regulation and community building were learned mainly from older colleagues. Attitudes regarding teaching and different ways of being a teacher were learned from both younger and older colleagues alike. Similarities …
