        The Knowledge Economy and Postsecondary Education

        Report of a Workshop

        by Patricia Albjerg Graham and Nevzer G. Stacey, Editors, Committee on the Impact of the Changing Economy on the Education System, National Research Council

        The Workshop on the Knowledge Economy and Postsecondary Education documents changes seen in the postsecondary education system. In her report Lisa Hudson focuses on who is participating in postsecondary education; Tom Bailey concentrates on community colleges as the most responsive institutions to employer needs; Carol Twigg surveys the ways that four-year institutions are attempting to modify their curricular offerings and pedagogy to adapt those that will be more useful; and Brian Pusser emphasizes the public’s broader interests in higher education and challenges the acceptance of the primacy of job preparation for the individual and of "market" metaphors as an appropriate descriptor of American higher education. An example of a for-profit company providing necessary instruction for workers is also examined. Richard Murnane, Nancy Sharkey, and Frank Levy investigate the experience of Cisco high school and community college students need to testify to their information technology skills to earn certificates. Finally, John Bransford, Nancy Vye, and Helen Bateman address the ways learning occurs and how these can be encouraged, particularly in cyberspace.

        Educational Research by Association

        AARE presidential addresses and the field of educational research

        by Gale, T.

        Educational Research by Association is an archive of an archive. It is a collection of eleven Presidential Addresses delivered over the last 40 years to the annual conference of the Australian Association for Research in Education (AARE) and published annually in AARE’s academic journal, the Australian Educational Researcher (AER). However, it is more than an archive in that the selection and the opening essay seek to plot, evaluate and contribute to definitions of education research and its functions and purposes in a changing world, and to consider its impact, broadly defined, in both actual and desirable or normative terms. In pursuing this agenda, the book highlights a number of key issues that have become important in educational research over time, particularly in Australia but also around the globe. These include defining education research as a field, including AARE’s location within that field and the positioning of the presidents’ Addresses therein. They also include questions about the purposes of education research, which implies as well the issue of the readership for such research. The selection also touches on matters of dissemination, publication and diffusion and impact more broadly, raising matters of publication and the various and competing outlets for publication of education research, nationally and increasingly on an international scale. Issues of quality, including associated politics, also come into play, as do questions of the relationship of education research to education policy and practice. These latter questions have become more significant in state policies framed by a new public management that call for evidence-based policy. The opening essay by Bob Lingard and Trevor Gale, two former AARE Presidents, traverses these matters generally and in respect of this archive of Presidential Addresses, helping to define educational research in an increasingly globalised world.

        Adverse Drug Event Reporting

        The Roles of Consumers and Health-Care Professionals: Workshop Summary

        by Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation, Jeffrey M. Drazen, Jennifer Rainey, Heather Begg, and Adrienne Stith Butler, Rapporteurs

        Recent concerns about the unexpected adverse effects of marketed drugs, such as COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) inhibitors or specific statins, raise concerns not only about reporting these events during premarket studies, but also about the responsibility for ongoing surveillance of drugs once they are on the market. Sometimes serious adverse drug reactions are fully appreciated only after a drug has been on the market for years. Therefore, when a drug is approved and released to the market, large numbers of patients will be exposed before all the potential adverse effects have been identified and thoroughly studied. Currently, there is no clearly defined process for addressing safety questions about drugs after premarketing research has occurred. In November 2005, the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation convened a workshop to explore issues associated with the reporting of ADEs. The workshop addressed the following questions: How can ADEs be effectively identified, particularly when the adverse effects are rare? How can the direct, causal effects of drugs be distinguished from simple associations? How can health-care professionals and their patients' aid in the identification of drug-related adverse events? How can knowledge of ADEs be more effectively used in clinical practice? Adverse Drug Event Reporting reviews current sources of information on adverse drug events, including the FDA's MedWatch program and the AERS, institutional review boards, and the CMS. This report considers the ways that consumers and advocacy groups can be involved in reporting adverse events, and discusses drug interactions, problems with current databases for capturing and evaluating interactions, and difficulties in communicating information about adverse drug interactions. This report also describes new requirements for information contained on drug labels and how labels can be used to communicate information about risks and drug interactions to consumers and practitioners.

        what parents learnt during the emergency

        by ALBERTO PELLAI

        Sometimes life falls on you and forces you to change shape, to enter your usual structure and revolutionize it. You spread out, you squeeze, you bend over. You smear and withdraw. You change constantly, in aort to withstand the impact that continues to upset you and that could break and shatter you. But you continue to adapt to that shock force. Didn’t you know you could take on new shapes? Or rather, you didn’t know it because you had never tried. Nothing had ever happened before that forced you to invent new forms of yourself. All of this is called resilience. And the fact is that for many of us, in the emergency that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought into our lives, this is exactly what happened: we have become stronger. And maybe even a little better. Why did it happen? How did it happen? What actually happened? And above all, what have we learned and must we learn to keep with us even in quiet times, because it makes us betts book tries to answer these questions. Starting from what happened in many of our families, reworking the facts, events and salient happenings, resuming the track of those weeks in which the virus forced us to becomerent from what we had always been, while continuing to remain those of always, these pages want to be a path of resilience and learning. Because what has shocked the world has also changed our way of being family. And it probably made us stronger tooe risk could be, aer a greaort, to erase the memory, remove it from us and throw ourselves back into what we were before living through this experience. But in doing so we would be alone in an empty and deserted territory, we would not treasure on the experience given to us to elaborate its meanings and contens book starts from that treasure. From what the COVID-19 emergency has. And that must never be forgotten. But integrated in our life stories, in our most intimate relationships, in our family relationships.
