Academic literature on the topic 'GG. Curricula aspects'

This document presents the necessary components for the elaboration of a curricular design: bases, foundations, the existing profile of formation and curriculum, as well as relations between them. It determines the bases of the curriculum for the EBA-UCV, constructed from a diagnosis of the social situation that it requires of an educative intervention to form the required professionals in information; the foundations of the curriculum, like the set of factors that allow the conception and organization of the education; and the profile of the professional in information by competitions, from the outline of the purpose and the goal of the profession. Additionally, it is exposed the vision and mission are presented, necessary elements in the strategic plan of an institution of higher education that confronts changes in its curricular structure. In order to finalize, it exposes conclusions, it proposes recommendations and steps to follow in the construction of the curricular change by the community of the School.

It aims to expand the field of projection and professional practice of the archivist towards the authentication of information both in the support and in the content, therefore, the analysis focuses on the possibility of this professional entering the Criminalistics through the questioned documents as the discipline responsible for making the opinions of authenticity of the document; for this, the existing legislation in Mexico in this regard and the curriculum taught at the ENBA are taken as a basis, that is, from a local perspective.

Since the analysis and appraisal of the graduate courses, in relation to the labor market, are required constantly, the purpose of this project is to examine the structure and qualifications of the students graduated at the “Faculdade de Biblioteconomia da PUC-Campinas” from 1995 to 2005, through their professional performance. This analysis should identify: personal profile, institutions where they work, activities developed, suggestions concerning their qualifications, adaptation to the labor market, behavior in relation to extended education, differences concerning courses of previous curriculum, known as “Biblioteconomia” and actual curriculum known as “Ciência da Informacao com habilitação em Biblioteconomia”. The method used was based on field research, with the emission of 213 questionnaires, of which 36.62% were answered. In general most of the graduates are females, work in Campinas at University Libraries and at Private Company Libraries as Librarians, performing general and administrative functions. The course is selected to seek specific knowledge and attend job opportunities. The course was appraised within regular and good, the teaching staff criticized, and lack of specific knowledge noticed. Apprentice classes have been suggested and a better set up of a trainee program. In relation to courses of extended education, 66.96% of the graduates of the previous curriculum concluded or are concluding courses, while 33.33% are of the actual curriculum. With the purpose of acquiring better knowledge to work, the necessity of a period of training, experience via work and the study of specialization courses are emphasized. The course offers certain skills like cataloguing, classifying and following of procedures. The course doesn’t offer skills like leadership, special subjects, practice, archive, English, sufficient cataloguing and classifying. Subjects considered important for the job: reference services, planning and administration of libraries, cataloguing, classifying, archive and automation. Subjects not considered important for the job: anthropology and bibliometry. In relation to regretting haring made the Course, 96,15% answered negatively. The main differences refer to bigger percentage of male students for the new curriculum and the criticism mainly refers to the subjects and to the teaching staff.

Study programmes in library sciences have changed fundamentally. In 1999, 29 states signed the Bologna agreement for a new study programme. Among other things the main focus is on the mutual recognition of qualifications obtained, in general to promote comparable course structures and to establish a single European Higher Education Area by 2010. The aim of this thesis is to examine the ongoing changes in the curriculum because of the reorganisation of study programmes. First, a review of literature is undertaken to give basic information on the Bologna process and the legal foundations. Statistical information about the situation in Austria and Germany conclude this chapter. In the second part of the thesis all bachelor and master study programmes in library sciences are examined. Additionally, specific characteristics of each course and some background information are given. Furthermore, the directors of studies are interviewed to find out whether or not there are deficits in the courses at the moment. Summing up, changes in the courses have both a positive but also a negative effect on the teaching programmes for information professionals. The findings of the interviews are summarised by giving information on the new curricula. Finally, recommendations are made about which courses are important and should be included.

OBJECTIVES: map the competences that compose the traditional librarian of the health area and the man competences for the clinical librarian, so that converge, for a profile of the clinical librarian in Brazil. METHOD: considering there is no practice of Clinical Librarianship in our country, this research was developed by a thorough revision of the literature in national and international data bases and a document research for compeling the main characteristics and abilities, present in the information professional librarian who works with health information in Brazil; such as identify the main characteristics and abilities of the clinical librarians in countries where is practice is established. RESULTS: the competences required for Brazilian librarians, who work in the health area, are not specific according to the terminologies and other features of the area they work in; what reflects in their job performance. In spite of that, the competences required for clinical librarian characterize a pro-active professional who is able to provide information that can encourage decisions in the clinical environment. CONCLUSION: Brazilian librarians could adapt the characteristics present in clinical librarian in their job routines, however, the ideal thing should be the implantation of a Clinical Librarianship program in Brazil.

The present Master’s Thesis deals with information literacy in academic libraries. Following the description of theoretic principles, development and current state of discussion in the US are compared to the situation in Germany, drawing on important surveys, strategic papers and models. The main distinctions between both countries are the different historic initial conditions and the varying general frameworks. The current practice of information literacy in university libraries and libraries of universities of applied sciences in the state of Northrhine- Westphalia is explored within the empiric part by website analysis. It shows that manifold activities to enhance information literacy can be identified, whereas the usability of the websites can be improved. The final part oft the survey outlines possibilities for further improvement of general information literacy in Germany.

Along with the development of Information and Communication Technologies (TICs), new literacy and alternative teaching and learning approaches have emerged, as an answer to the new pedagogic conceptions opening the doors of the XXI century and to the lifelong learning. Among those literacy ways, the most comprehensive seems to be the information one, since it is people’s capacity to access, evaluate and use information effectively and ethically. Improving students´ skills in college is a challenge of the higher education institutions, which have the goal of graduating qualified and competitive individuals to enter the labor market. The objective of this experimental work was to draw an Information literacy strategy for the students attending Study Plan "D" of Agricultural Engineering. This strategy indicates students´ progress through years in three levels: 1- basic skills, 2- intermediate skills and 3- advanced skills, in which educational tasks, responsibility in task implementation, evaluation through integrating discipline objectives of the career and learning outcomes are stated in correspondence with SCONUL Model aptitudes

This work is the result of a process of research and reflection on library education in Mexico and its social link. The theme tries to reflect on one of the fundamental questions of any discipline or science, which is to be at the service of humanity for its development and improvement, since education allows individuals and societies to develop.

The adaptation to the European Higher Education Area led to the adoption of a curricular program based on the acquisition of competences by students. The Equality Act and other subsequent regulations have emphasized the need for the university to train its students in competencies that respect diversity, gender equality and non-discrimination. The contents taught in the Degree in Information and Documentation, as well as the professional profile of graduates, make especially necessary to promote sensitivity to gender inequalities as they will perform tasks of processing and representing the contents of information and intermediation in the informational processes of those who seek and use information. For that reason is the justification and interest in conducting this research. We have analyzed mentions of diversity attention (functional, ethnic-racial, sexual, etc.), gender equality and the inclusion in teaching programs of the subjects taught in the Degree in Information and Documentation in the Spanish universities. The sample studied consists of 471 teaching guides which have been downloaded in pdf from the websites of the 11 public universities that teach the degree and they correspond to the 2018-2019 academic year. For the analysis of the documents, the qualitative analysis program "Atlas.ti" has been used. The 471 programs have been introduced in both programs as primary documents, grouped into families according to course, grade and university. It has been determined the percentage of subjects in which mention is made of these contents or competences to be acquired by the students, the type of subjects, the course in which they are and the subject in question. We have also been able to determine if the mention is made by relating the competences to be acquired by the students, in the contents of the subject or in the bibliography. The results have also been grouped according to the subjects and the type of subject. To that end, a set of categories has been established (inertia subjects, legal inertia, colonization, natural evolutionary and evolutionary by commitment) in terms of attention to diversity and the integration of the gender perspective. To conclude, the most of the teaching programs ignore training in gender competencies and inclusion to future information professionals. In general, the little presence of the gender perspective in the teaching projects of the Spanish universities is observed after carrying out the analysis of all the teaching guides of each university.

Is performed economic valuation analysis as a highly specialized activity, which can be applied in Archives and Libraries; likewise, archive funds and library collections are conceptualized as fixed assets in the custody of said institutions, therefore, capable of being estimated in economic terms.
