Therapists must increase their understanding of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to maintain and improve competence. Every practitioner will need to take steps to maintain and demonstrate continued competence under the provisions of the new Health Act 1999. This book considers current policy on CPD and discusses the theoretical basis for maintaining competence and for adult learning. Primarily, however, it provides practical guidance on how to develop a strategy for professional and career development, and on portfolio preparation that shows evidence of professional updating and CPD. Many examples are given of activities in the areas of clinical work, management, education and research that can be used for CPD. The development and use of learning skills such as reflection and critical evaluation is considered central to the process. Written specifically with the therapist in mind, this book will provide invaluable practical advice to occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiographers, speech and language therapists, and podiatrists.

Problem-Based Learning in Health and Social Care Edited by Teena J. CLOUSTON, Lyn WESCOTT, Steven W. WHITCOMBE, Jil RILEY & Ruth MATHESON Problem-Based Learning in Health and Social Care offers a practical insight into the opportunities, benefits and challenges of using problem-based learning (PBL) in health and social care education and also student-directed learning (SDL) as a learning and teaching tool. It presents a collection of practical and emerging concepts in terms of how to do PBL and SDL and considers the practical barriers and solutions, challenges to self awareness and finally future potentialities and directions for learning. The book contextualises and summarises the development of PBL and uses the analogy of a journey to 'travel' the reader through the book, covering such key topics as developing PBL curricula, becoming a tutor facilitator, SDL, reflection, assessing and evaluating PBL, group skills and team working. It offers practical guidance on how courses, individual staff and students can develop skills and tactics to understand PBL and SDL and thus achieve effective delivery and learning experiences.

This book offers a history of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in the Australian context. It presents an approach that links the development of CPD to a series of 'missed opportunities' and the identification of three key themes (mandatory CPD, competencies and regulation/registration) as well as with national regulation for select health professions. It not only relates the evolution of CPD in Australia but also serves as a guide to examining the situation in other countries and the emergence of CPD in individual professions. CPD has been provided for many decades, but it has not been rated as a 'high priority' or a key area of provision and has not been the focus of discussions or disputes in the higher education sector or in vocational education circles. Nevertheless in describing CPD's development, evidence is presented that CPD has made a significant contribution to the broad field of vocational education.

This book provides an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in the area of networked learning. Networked learning is learning in which information and communication technology is used to promote connections: between one learner and other learners; between learners and tutors and between a learning community and its learning resources. Informed by theory this book provides insights into the growing area of educational practice that is covered by the term networked learning. The collection is written in a way that is accessible and useful for both researchers and practitioners. Written by experienced European researchers the chapters in this collection represent a major contribution to the development of a body of research evidence in the field. The collection is the outcome of a research team that was funded by the European Union as part of the Kaleidoscope Network of Excellence. The range of topics and the theoretical development of ideas in the collection demonstrate the vibrancy of the research community that has developed in the area of networked learning. Whilst the chapters are always rooted in practice they also contribute to a complex understanding of the changes that are taking place in education at a time when digital networks have become an essential part of the learning environment. This volume will prove valuable for those working in higher education and professional development.

Introduction - Problem Based Learning is an approach to teaching and learning that has been designed using theory and research evidence about the nature of learning and of professional expertise and has been widely adopted. The advocates of Problem Based Learning claim many advantages for the approach. However it is often unclear what is meant by the term, and claims appear to be based on anecdotal evidence or small scale evaluative studies. There appear to be few reports of the use of Problem Based Learning in continuing professional education. Methods - This thesis analyses a Problem Based Learning curriculum and evaluates its effectiveness in a continuing education programme for nurses in England. Using a randomised experimental design the learning outcomes of students who followed a 'traditional' curriculum were compared with the students who followed a Problem Based Learning curriculum in the same educational programme. The programme lasted one academic year and was undertaken on a part time basis. Five Hteachers' participated in the study all of whom were volunteers. The two teachers who facilitated the experimental Problem Based Learning groups undertook various staff development activities to prepare for their role as facilitators. The students were qualified nurses from five NHS hospitals who applied to take the programme during the study period. Thirty five students were allocated to the experimental (PBL) curriculum of whom 20 subsequently completed. Thirty four students were allocated to the control (SGL) curriculum of whom 31 subsequently completed. The students had no previous experience of Problem Based Learning. Data Collection and analysis - A wide range of student outcomes were investigated using a variety of existing and new research instruments. Data on the process of curriculum development, programme delivery, students and teacher response were collected using non participant observation, teacher diaries, and researcher field notes. Qualitative data were analysed using the Framework method. Descriptive and Inferential Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS. Analysis followed an estimation approach. Standardised effect sizes (a) with 95?-o confidence intervals were calculated to estimate the difference in outcomes between students in the experimental (PBL) and control (SGL) curricula. Results - Students and teachers found it difficult to adapt and come to terms with the Problem Based Learning approach. It was apparent that Problem Based Learning did not meet the students normative expectations of Hteaching and learning'. Problem Based Learning appeared to cause the students great anxiety which lead to tensions between the teachers and students in the experimental (PBL) curriculum. This is reflected in the differences in student satisfaction indicaitors between the two curricula which all favoured the control (SGL) curriculum. Other results showed that students in the control (SGL) curriculum were more likely to perceive that the educational programme had changed their practice. A greater proportion of students in the experimental (PBL) curriculum did not meet the threshold score indicating readiness for selfdirected learning after completing the programme. The results exclude important statistically significant differences in impact between the two programmes on changes in approaches to learning, managers rating of performance, changes outside work, likelihood of taking on a teaching task in the workplace and on changing jobs. Discussion and conclusion - The mixed results from this study appear to contradict those obtained in some other studies of Problem Based Learning. The results are consistent with other studies using experimental designs. Different forms of Problem Based Learning may produce different results, and quality iof implementation may also be an important factor. However, if such Hlocal' factors are important then it suggests that the context and culture in which Problem Based Learning is implemented is at least as important as the approach itself. The study found strong evidence of student dissatisfaction and of a disjunction between Professional, Student expectations and Problem Based Learning practice. It is argued that Problem Based Learning theory and practice lacks an adequate conceptualisation of the relationship between the different conceptions of teaching and learning held by different stakeholder groups in continuing professional education. Within the discourse of Problem Based Learning it appears to be taken for granted that everyone shares the principles, aims and values that underpin the approach i. e. there is a lack of recognition that pedagogy is a site for struggle between a number of competing discourses.
