Training in Deontological Requirements of Interpreters Dealing with Refugees: International Protection as an Opportunity for Social Entrepreneurship in Translation and Interpreting Studies in Spain

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a series of interviews conducted with refugee reception organizations in the province of Seville, the capital of Andalusia which is one of the regions in the EU which handles the highest number of immigrant arrivals.
Abstract: Having noted the entrepreneurial reluctance of graduates in general and T&I graduates in particular in Spain, we propose social entrepreneurship in the field of international protection and refugees as a potentially viable employment opportunity. The ever-growing number of asylum seekers arriving in Spain have a recognised right to access translation and interpreting services, and we therefore advocate the training of interpreters to operate in asylum scenarios and meet the specific deontological requirements involved therein. Future professionals need to be equipped with all the tools necessary to be able to handle the different challenges that may arise in such situations. To this end, we present the results of a series of interviews conducted with refugee reception organisations in the province of Seville, the capital of Andalusia which is one of the regions in the EU which handles the highest number of immigrant arrivals. The situations experienced in these organizations may reflect the state of the question in the asylum field. We found that the application of professional ethics in real-case situations is indeed very often deficient, and its inclusion in training syllabuses in the country could help address this social need.

TL;DR: In this paper, the conocimiento que sobre la ensenanza reciben los estudiantes de magisterio is investigated, and diferencias significativas en conocIMiento sobre the ensenanzas poseen los alumnos of a university.
Abstract: Resumen: nuestro trabajo de investigacion se incardina dentro de un a linea de vital importancia en el campo de la formacion de docentes: el conocimiento que sobre la ensenanza adquieren los futuros maestros, como resultado de su formacion inicial. Si bien se ha nproducido un buen numero de investigaciones en le campo, destacamos que poco se ha hecho en torno a la adquisicion del conocimiento por los estudiantes de magisterio, siendo este el proposito de nuestro trabajo. Nuestra investigacion tiene dos propositos intimamente relacionados: por u n lado, queremos describir el conocimiento que sobre la ensenanza reciben los estudiantes de magisterio, para ello vamos a comparar los conocimientos que presentan los estudiantes de distintos cursos y especialidades; por otro, para describir el conocimiento que los alumnos adquieren, es imprescindible preguntar a sus formadores que conocimiento trasmiten desde las distintas areas de docencia, por tanto, necesitamos describirlo y. en el caso de encontrar diferencias, saber que conocimiento se favorece desde las cada una de ellas. El desarrollo de la investigacion se ha realizado mediante un estudio descriptivo, tipo encuesta, a traves del cual comparamos el comportamiento de grupos en diferentes variables, que no estan bajo control del investigador,sino que han ocurrido de forma natural, con el proposito de construir un mapa de la realidad. La investigacion se lleva a cabo en la facultad de ciencias de la educacion de la universidad de granadal donde es posible cursar las siete especialidades de la titulacion de magisterio. Las hipotesis de nuestra investigacion, para los estudiantes de magisterio, se senalan a continuacion: H1. Se puede describir el conocimiento que sobre la ensenanza poseen los estudiantes de magisterio. H2 Existen diferencias significativas en los conocimientos que sobre la ensenanza poseen los estudiantes de magisterio en funcion

TL;DR: The ACACIA Project is analysed and the changes made in the organizational development aspects of these traditional institutions with respect to how teachers are formed withrespect to their personal, cognitive, interpretive, and practical skills are presented.
Abstract: Didactics and teaching are important practices in higher education especially to increase success rates of students from normally excluded populations in university settings. In this article we analyse the ACACIA Project (561754-EPP-1-2015-1-CO-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP) and reflect on the experiences in the work package called "Cultiva" - one of the packages proposed innovative practices of inclusion. The challenge is to change traditional ways of looking at the dropout and failure of students, especially in teacher training in an organizational section named CADEP (Centro de Apoyo y Desarrollo Educativo y Profesional). In this paper, we present the changes made in the organizational development aspects of these traditional institutions with respect to how teachers are formed with respect to their personal, cognitive, interpretive, and practical skills. The focus of the analysis is the university education aiming that populations in marginal situations are not excluded from training processes for their vulnerability.

Testing for Competence Rather Than for "Intelligence"

TL;DR: The testing movement in the United States has been a success, if one judges success by the usual American criteria of size, influence, and profitability, but what assumptions is the success of the movement based?
Abstract: The testing movement in the United States has been a success, if one judges success by the usual American criteria of size, influence, and profitability. Intelligence and aptitude tests are used nearly everywhere by schools, colleges, and employers. It is a sign of backwardness not to have test scores in the school records of children. The Educational Testing Service alone employs about 2,000 people, annually administers Scholastic Aptitude Tests to thousands of aspirants to college, and makes enough money to support a large basic research operation. Its tests have tremendous power over the lives of young people by stamping some of them "qualified" and others "less qualified" for college work. Until recent "exceptions" were made (over the protest of some), the tests have served as a very efficient device for screening out black, Spanish-speaking, and other minority applicants to colleges. Admissions officers have protested that they take other qualities besides test achievements into account in granting admission, but careful studies by Wing and Wallach (1971) and others have shown that this is true only to a very limited degree. Why should intelligence or aptitude tests have all this power? What justifies the use of such tests in selecting applicants for college entrance or jobs? On what assumptions is the success of the movement based? They deserve careful examination before we go on rather blindly promoting the use of tests as instruments of power over the lives of many Americans.

TL;DR: The paper emphasizes that statistical methods exist which can contribute to an understanding of the extent and possible reasons for differences between institutions and urges caution by discussing the limitations of such methods.
Abstract: SUMMARY In the light of an increasing interest in the accountability of public institutions, this paper sets out the statistical issues involved in making quantitative comparisons between institutions in the areas of health and education. We deal in detail with the need to take account of model-based uncertainty in making comparisons. We discuss the need to establish appropriate measures of institutional 'outcomes' and base-line measures and the need to exercise care and sensitivity when interpreting apparent differences. The paper emphasizes that statistical methods exist which can contribute to an understanding of the extent and possible reasons for differences between institutions. It also urges caution by discussing the limitations of such methods.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that (a) cognitive research is not contrived and irrelevant, (b) curriculum level interventions are doomed to fail and (c) education needs more theory‐based research.
Abstract: In a recent review article, Colliver concluded that there was no convincing evidence that problem-based learning was more effective than conventional methods. He then went on to lay part of the blame on cognitive psychology, claiming that 'the theory is weak, its theoretical concepts are imprecise. the basic research is contrived and ad hoc'. This paper challenges these claims and presents evidence that (a) cognitive research is not contrived and irrelevant, (b) curriculum level interventions are doomed to fail and (c) education needs more theory-based research.

Time to Heal: American Medical Education from the Turn of the Century to the Era of Managed Care

TL;DR: Time to Heal as discussed by the authors provides a landmark account of American medical education in the twentieth century, concluding with a call for the reformation of a system currently handicapped by managed care and by narrow, self-centered professional interests.
Abstract: Already the recipient of extraordinary critical acclaim, this magisterial book provides a landmark account of American medical education in the twentieth century, concluding with a call for the reformation of a system currently handicapped by managed care and by narrow, self-centered professional interests. Kenneth M. Ludmerer describes the evolution of American medical education from 1910, when a muck-raking report on medical diploma mills spurred the reform and expansion of medical schools, to the current era of managed care, when commercial interests once more have come to the fore, compromising the training of the nation's future doctors. Ludmerer portrays the experience of learning medicine from the perspective of students, house officers, faculty, administrators, and patients, and he traces the immense impact on academic medical centers of outside factors such as World War II, the National Institutes of Health, private medical insurance, and Medicare and Medicaid. Most notably, the book explores the very real threats to medical education in the current environment of managed care, viewing these developments not as a catastrophe but as a challenge to make many long overdue changes in medical education and medical practice. Panoramic in scope, meticulously researched, brilliantly argued, and engagingly written, Time to Heal is both a stunning work of scholarship and a courageous critique of modern medical education. The definitive book on the subject, it provides an indispensable framework for making informed choices about the future of medical education and health care in America.
