Description
Professional development is the process through which aspiring professionals prepare for a working career as well as the continued upgrading of practitioners. This volume offers a primary source of information for those employers, professional societies and education and training institutes specifically interested in the professional development of employees involved in the Information Technology (I.T.) field, where crucial problems are caused by the overwhelming pace of advances in technology and methodologies. Issues discussed include models and principles of professional education and development (including the examination of current curricula and the investigation of the need for updating them) and the promotion and effective implementation of the same, through the publication of good practice in basic and continuing education. Also considered are corporational experiences with I.T. professional development schemes and the certification of I.T. professional development programmes. The specific needs of both developing and developed countries are represented, since the 48 papers (and summaries of 4 discussion groups) derive from participants in IFIP's specialist Working Group 3.4 based in many different countries and organizations.
