Book excerpt: What skills and competencies are needed for individuals to lead a successful and responsible life, both in the workplace and in other social environments, and for society to face the challenges of the present and future? What are the foundations (normative, theoretical, and conceptual) for defining and selecting a limited set of key competencies? These are among the important questions, of considerable relevance for fields such as education and training, employment, social affairs and welfare, health, and justice, that provided the starting point for an international and interdisciplinary endeavor carried out by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office and the National Center for Education Statistics, US Department of Education under the auspices of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The current volume, which has resulted from this work, compiles essays from renowned scholars who explore these questions from multiple perspectives (anthropology, economics, history, philosophy, psychology, and sociology), along with commentaries from leading representatives of policy and practice who provide an important complement to the reflection on key competencies. This volume thus presents a multifaceted sketch of issues related to defining and selecting key competencies in an open, still ongoing debate at national and international levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Definition and Selection of Competencies: Theoretical and Conceptual Foundations (DeSeCo) is part of OECD's effort to develop over time a coherent strategy for defining, selecting and assessing key competencies for individuals to lead an overall successful and responsible life and for society to face the challenges of the present and the future. As part of the continuing work of the project, DeSeCo has elicited additional input from experts from the fields of education research, civics, and assessment to provide further insight into the conceptual underpinnings towards a framework for the definition and selection of key competencies. The papers presented here represent the fruits of that labour. The education paper, prepared by Daniel Keating, was commissioned to examine, from an education research perspective, the theory that relates the structure and functions of the competencies identified by DeSeCo to work in education, both in terms of conceptualization of a competency itself and in terms of how competencies relate to each other. Also of interest was the current and/or ideal role of societal institutions in promoting, fostering, and transmitting key competencies within the population. A second paper, written by Barbara Fratczak-Rudnicka and Judith Torney-Purta, was intended to identify competencies needed by everyone to participate actively and fully in civic and political life, their relationship to DeSeCo's framework, and address the issue of what methodologies are appropriate for assessing such competencies. The third and final paper, submitted by Tim Oates, sought to provide an analysis of theoretical work regarding issues surrounding the defining and measuring of key competencies and eventual indicator development, a previously unexamined topic in DeSeCo. Together these papers are designed to contribute substantially to the evolving conceptual framework for key competencies that is both rooted in scientific theory and interpretable in policy terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

Book excerpt: DeSeCo - Definition and selection of competencies: theoretical and conceptual foudations - è un progetto triennale iniziato nel 1998 elaborato dall'USTcon il sostegno del National Center for Educational Statistics degli USA e di Statistique Canada e parte integrante del programma INES - Indicators of educational systems dell'OCSE. I lavori del DeSeCo sono la base di riferimento per lo sviluppo del programma PISA e per tutti i programmi che misurano le competenze degli adulti. I partecipanti al congresso, provenienti da svariati ambiti e paesi, hanno discusso sulle competenze nei vari ambiti sociali, sulle somiglianze e differenze internazionali e interculturali, sulla formazione permanente e sullo sviluppo di competenze chiave, nonché sulle strategie di misurazione delle competenze. Il volume, che raccoglie i contributi del simposio, è servito da fonte per l'elaborazione di un documento strategico che descrive i fondamenti teorici e concettuali della definizione e selezione delle competenze chiave e per la redazione del rapporto finale del progetto.

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Book excerpt: Instructor Resources: PowerPoint slides, teaching tips, and discussion questions with answer guides. There are good leaders, then there are exceptional leaders. Exceptional leaders use competencies--a set of professional and personal skills, knowledge, values, and traits that guide a leader's performance. In an era of change and uncertainty in healthcare, it is crucial that leaders learn not only how to be exceptional, but also what makes an exceptional leader. In this second edition of their best-selling book, the authors detail 16 competencies grouped in four cornerstone categories: Well-Cultivated Self-Awareness, Compelling Vision, A Real Way With People, and Masterful Execution. Each of the 16 competencies is explored in its own chapter to define the competency, provide examples and advice, and explain the common skill deficits that prevent its mastery. New to this edition: A feature case study at the beginning of the book and a supportive vignette within each competency chapter to provide practical and real-world application to each competency Two minicases with discussion questions at the end of each competency chapter for further consideration and self-reflection Six new chapters that demonstrate how to apply the book's concepts at both the individual and organizational levels A new chapter on physician leadership that incorporates findings from interviews with industry leaders and provides a helpful road map for those transitioning into the physician executive role Through a clear and focused approach based on current research, this book provides a solid understanding of the tools needed by great leaders. Included in this book is a self-development plan and interview questions to apply the knowledge learned.
