The present investigation has had the purpose of knowing what the main trends in the training of legal professionals at national and international level are, with the purpose of taking them into account, in the curricular updating process, of said program, at the University of San Martín de Porres, in Lima, Peru. The profile of the graduate and the curricular plans have been taken as the study elements. The research is presented as a review article, based mainly on the main academic documents of the analyzed institutions, as well as articles by other authors who have described the situation of lawyer training in different countries. As a main result, it was obtained that, despite having different legal systems as a context, the profiles of the graduates and the study plans are quite like each other. Likewise, the study of Current trends in Law and Law and Technology are appreciated as emerging subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: In Cuba several conceptions have existed on the study plans. The necessity to revise and propose changes that assure the levels of quality wanted in the process of integral formation of the future professionals motivated to investigate the theoretical and methodological elements that regulate and guide the teaching-learning process in the Clinical Pharmacology subject. Objective: To analyze the program of Clinical Pharmacology of the E plan study for the medicine career, from a critical and systematized approach. Methods: A qualitative study of the study program in the Clinical Pharmacology subject was carried out according to the E plan, effective in the University of Medical Sciences in Santiago de Cuba, during 2022, for which the methods of documental review, the rector documents of the teaching process in higher education and the methodology proposed by some authors were used. Results: Several topics enunciated an excessive number of specific objectives without taking into account the level of assimilation; the form of organization most used in teaching was the conference. Independent investigative work was not taken into account in frequent evaluations; meanwhile, the basic bibliography corresponded to an edition from 2002. Conclusions: The program did not require of thematic transformations, but from the didactic point of view components of the teaching-learning process should be modified, besides updating the pertinent basic literature.

The study plan of a university career corresponds to the guidelines that both teachers and students must follow, so that, upon completion of the studies, the objectives proposed within the teaching-learning process can be achieved, in such a way that take as a guide that facilitates and directs correctly, the programmatic content within the educational establishment. It is for this reason that a curriculum of the program that is intended to be taught must be well structured and be consistent with the needs of the labor market both in the present and in the future, to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to address professional practice successfully. The present investigation shows some curricular theories and how the study plan of the Civil Engineering program of the University of Sucre is organized, where examples of some subjects are presented and how they are related to each other. Additionally, a survey was conducted to the students of the last semesters of the Civil Engineering program, where firstly, they were characterized demographically and later, questions were asked where they could express their opinion about the study plan of the career, based on their views and experiences along the way. In a complementary way, they were asked questions aimed at observing their satisfaction in the learning process, based on the subjects, their programmatic contents and the forms of teaching, also considering the opinion of the students about the performance of the teachers, in his teaching work.

Con el objetivo de entender la fundación en 1922 de la Escuela de Archivistas, Bibliotecarios y Técnicos para el servicio de Museos de la Universidad de Buenos Aires durante el decanato de Ricardo Rojas, se realiza un estudio exploratorio de su primer plan de estudios (1923-1927). Los datos se obtienen a partir de los programas de la Facultad y literatura crítica. Los resultados obtenidos permiten conocer el contexto detrás de la construcción de dicha Escuela, las razones para no imitar el plan de Estados Unidos o Francia, y las críticas que tuvo por parte del campo bibliotecario. Se concluye con una reflexión acerca de la necesidad de continuar estudiando el periodo en cuestión. = To understand the foundation in 1922 of the Escuela de Archivistas, Bibliotecarios y Técnicos para el servicio de Museos of the Universidad de Buenos Aires during the tenure of Ricardo Rojas, an exploratory analysis of its first study plan (1923-1927) is carried out. The data was obtained from the School’s programs and critical literature. The results obtained allow us to know the context behind the School’s foundation, the reasons for not imitating the plans of the United State of America or France, and the critics made by the library field. This analysis concludes with a reflection on the need to continue studying this period.

Advising students through their study plans is one of the essential steps towards academic success. The matching of students' needs and courses offered at a university requires comprehensive planning and scheduling. To avoid the problem of mismatch, which usually leads to cancellation courses with low enrollment, a decisive advising process is deemed necessary. Although such a topic received attention from previous work in the area, we could not trace any research references to the use of blockchain in solving the complex advising process. This research explores a topic that is still in its infancy. Blockchain is a new technology proposed to create an effective advising system based on a decisive preregistration process. The proposed system has adopted a hybrid approach integrating the client-server legacy centralized methodology with the blockchain decentralized approach. Ethereum blockchain network is used in the proposed system to create a consensus-validated advising environment. The smart contracts used in such a system offer the students the freedom to modify the courses selections, based on the map of several students tentatively registered in the courses at any particular time. The proposed system has been analyzed, designed, implemented, and applied empirically on students' records extracted from the Banner Enterprise Resources Planning (Banner-ERP) system. The results are promising and provide a proof of concept. The experimental results have also been compared with students' course requirements reaching a satisfactory level of efficiency in the advising process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work presents the advances being made on a research project addressing curriculum processes for the development of competencies at the San Juan National University’s Faculty of Engineering (Argentina) in the framework of institutional policies that seek to make its programs of study appropriate for the second generation of accreditation standards. This is an exploratory, descriptive and interpretative study that is currently in the analytic phase, during which time we have carried out a characterization of the study plans currently in force for seven engineering programs in place at the university. In this sense, we describe both the institutional transformation related to the creation of accreditation standards and the perspectives of institutional actors as regards the curriculum design of the San Juan National University Faculty of Engineering’s programs, analyzing the institutional dynamic that emerges from said process.Received: 27 December 2019Accepted: 04 March 2020Published online: 19 May 2020

The present study aims to analyze the Study Plan (SP) of the Alternation Pedagogy in its problematic dimension in the formative action of the Cocais/PI Agricultural Family School (EFA Cocais/PI). As a grounding question of the present study, the question is: to what extent is the problematizing dimension mediated by the SP effective in the EFA Cocais/PI? This question is based on the inherent condition of the SP as the pedagogical mediation of the Alternation Pedagogy, which is the problematization. Connected to other mediations, no less relevant, the SP articulates, beyond the formative times and spaces, the daily knowledge of families in the processes of teaching and learning. These elements incur the design of a formation conveyed to the problematizing dimension, considering that the reality experienced in the daily lives of families is inserted in the school environment through the SP. The data analysis showed the effectiveness of the problematic condition inherent to the SP in the formative action developed in the EFA Cocais/PI, but also revealed the existence of gaps in the realization named the SP cycle.

We examined self-directed studying of students in an introductory (Study 1) and upper-level (Study 2) psychology course. Students reported their study behaviors for Exam 1 and 2, and wrote Exam 2 study plans. In both studies, students planned to and ultimately did use more active strategies for Exam 2 than Exam 1. However, they struggled to follow through on plans to space studying over time. In Study 1, we also found that greater use of active strategies (e.g., retrieval practice) was associated with higher exam scores when controlling for factors such as study time. Our findings highlight that students across course levels are interested in changing their study behaviors and we note implications for instructors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The world needs more agricultural products and food. At the same time we have to comply with the sustainable development agenda: economically, ecologically and socially responsible. A paradigm shift is necessary, not just a modification of practices and investments to do more of the same. For this, the sustainable intensification of the agricultural production is essential, playing a determining role the efficient and effective management of the engineering systems that are used. This objective is achieved from a strategy of use and maintenance of the equipment that intervenes in these processes in extensive agriculture and in organic agriculture based on biodiversity. In Cuba the social order of the management of the agricultural production processes with the use of technologies is fulfilled by the Agricultural Engineer, whose training plan has its origin in the Mechanical Engineer of agricultural production, constituting a key profession for the development of the country. The present work aims to identify the evolution of university education models and the trend of Agricultural Engineering that has accompanied this profession in recent years in Cuba, inviting them to reflect on their future in their teaching and research aspects.

This document presents the development of an index that aims to quantify, according to some criteria known in graph theory, how relevant a subject is, taking into account its location in the curriculum, its number of credits, its prerequisites and the subjects dependents. The first thing was to model the academic plan using a graph, which considers only two things: the assigned credits and the prerequisites that must be met before taking the subjects. After having this model, graph theory algorithms were applied that allow to measure the importance of a subject with respect to the location in its curricular mesh (Centrality) and allow to give a measure of the importance of the subjects based on academic credits, its prerequisites and subjects depending on it (Neighborhood). It is important to note that the analysis presented is not intended to indicate that one subject is more important than another for the student's professional development, but rather to analyze, in an estimative way, which subjects contribute more to the connectivity of the program and academic flow by this network only taking into account the information found in the curriculum. The result obtained is a composite index, which allows visualizing the relevance degree of the subjects in the study plan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Public preregistration of study analysis plans (SAPs) is widely recognized for clinical trials, but adopted to a much lesser extent in observational studies. Registration of SAPs prior to analysis is encouraged to not only increase transparency and exactness but also to avoid positive finding bias and better standardize outcome modeling. Efforts to generally standardize outcome modeling, which can be based on clinical trial and/or observational data, have recently spurred. We suggest a three-step SAP concept in which investigators are encouraged to (1) Design the SAP and circulate it among the co-investigators, (2) Log the SAP with a public repository, which recognizes the SAP with a digital object identifier (DOI), and (3) Cite (using the DOI), briefly summarize and motivate any deviations from the SAP in the associated manuscript. More specifically, the SAP should include the scope (brief data and study description, co-investigators, hypotheses, primary outcome measure, study title), in addition to step-by-step details of the analysis (handling of missing data, resampling, defined significance level, statistical function, validation, and variables and parameterization).

An effective study plan is a predictor of good academic performance. However, there are few shreds of evidence available on the role of gender and age in the study plan for students. This paper investigated the role of gender and age in the adoption of a study plan that can guarantee success. A questionnaire was designed and administered to undergraduate students of a world-class privately funded university located in Ogun State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used and 294 students responded. Chi-square test of independence revealed that gender and age are not associated with frequency of study, study environment, study content preferences, and study motivation. There is no Gender difference in the preference of study type, factors that drive, motivation for study and satisfaction with the study plan whereas, age is significantly associated. The logistic regression model was significant and correctly classified 66.3% of satisfaction with the study plan. Gender was not significant but the age of students can predict their satisfaction with their study plan. Older students have more odds to be satisfied with their study plan. As students progressed from year one to the final year, they tend to adopt a study plan that can help them obtain high grades and graduate with good results. Timely academic advising or mentorship is advocated especially for freshers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the various developments that occur in the engineering field, it's necessary for academicians to develop appropriate curricula for engineering students. Being accredited from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is an indication that an academic program has fulfilled international standards in engineering education. The main element in ABET evaluation process is Student Outcomes (SOs) as they incorporate several capabilities and skills expected by stakeholders such as employers. In this study, we used Interpretive Structural Modeling technique (ISM), which is a soft operational research technique, to prioritize SOs and develop a precise study plan for the Industrial Engineering program at Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering (IMSE) at Kuwait University (KU). This plan showed an intelligible depiction of the relationships between the SOs and a clear direction on how to merge them within the engineering study plan. For data collection, surveys were developed and conducted to faculty members at IMSE Department at KU in addition to a set of employers within the country. The results indicated that ISM model facilitates a clear understanding of the relationships among SOs within the Industrial Engineering study plan at IMSE at KU. In addition, it recommended that students should understand the professional and ethical responsibilities at early stages of the study plan and that should be followed by training them on effective communication techniques.

In academia, smooth progression of students significantly depends on the way curricula are developed and organized. Curricula or study plans with high degree of interconnectivity between courses, multiple prerequisites, and hierarchically structured courses tend to complicate the smooth progress of the enrolled students. In this work, a rigorous quantitative relaxation indicator, developed and published elsewhere by the first author, has been applied to quantify the degree of stiffness and rigidity in undergraduate engineering curricula at the American University of Sharjah (AUS), the University of Sharjah (UOS), United Arab Emirates University (UAEU), and the Petroleum Institute (PI), which are the leading universities in the United Arab Emirates. Results indicate high rigidity (low relaxation indices) due to high degree of interconnectivity between courses, specifically in the second year of the study plans. The chemical engineering curriculum at PI exhibited the least flexibility due to very strong pre-and-co-requisite ties while the civil & environmental curriculum at UAEU showed the highest flexibility. The curricula considered require immediate attention and reorganization in order to facilitate smooth sequential progress of the students from one semester to another. A list of courses that require relaxation of strong pre-and corequisites ties has been presented for each curriculum.
