Changing Professional Identity in the Transition from Practitioner to Lecturer in Higher Education: an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis

This research explores the experiences of five professional practitioners from disciplines including teaching, youth work, sport and health who had become lecturers in Higher Education. Their experiences are considered using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and tentative conclusions are reached on the meaning of such experiences for the individuals. The work extends previous studies (Shreeve 2010, 2011; Gourlay 2011a, 2011b; Boyd & Harris 2010) to consider the relationship between knowledge and influence and how institutional preference for knowledge gained from research impacts on the validity of knowledge derived from professional experience. The research finds shared feelings associated with inauthenticity and loss arising from concerns that the contribution of the professional in Higher Education is undervalued. The research challenges the assumption that professional practitioners adopt the professional identity of a lecturer in Higher Education instead finding that they create their own professional identities in the liminal space between the professional and academic domains, but points to difficulties associated with constructed nature of such professional identities within the institutional structure of a Higher Education institution

Gestores de contenido en la arquitectura de la producción multiplataforma. El caso de Televisió de Catalunya

Se analiza un gestor de contenidos adaptado a las necesidades de Televisión de Catalunya a partir de un software que se comercializó con el nombre de DeliverTy, como sistema tecnológico para la producción audiovisual multiplataforma. Se plantean las características de este software, las ventajas que conlleva su implementación y se describen las implicaciones que se derivan de su uso en las diferentes fases e producción de contenidos multiplataforma. Del análisis se extraen conclusiones sobre las contribuciones de los gestores de contenidos a la producción de la información. Entre las ventajas del sistema se puede destacar la simplificación de las tareas de administración de los documentos y archivos generados por los trabajadores del medio televisivo y la facilidad para derivar dichos contenidos hacia las nuevas plataformas.This article examines an software adapted in-house from DeliverTy, a content management system, as a technological system for the multiplatform audiovisual production of the autonomous television network of Catalonia. We analyze the features of this software, discuss the benefits associated with its use, and elaborate on the different phases of digital media production. The study draws conclusions on the contribution of content management systems to information production. Among the advantages that stand out are the simplification of the tasks related to document management and files generation, as well as the simplification of the process to broadcast these contents on new platforms

Taking Culture Seriously in Organization Development: A New Role for OD?

Culture as a concept impacts organization development (OD) in two fundamental ways. First, it is increasingly evident that the practice of OD has to learn to deal with the cultures and subcultures of client systems. Dealing with cultures and sub-cultures requires conceptual models and intervention skills that deal realistically with what culture is and how culture works. Second, OD as an occupational community has developed a culture and sub-cultures within itself and has to learn what the strengths and weaknesses are of those occupational cultures and sub-cultures. Of particular importance is the recognition that the sub-cultures within OD may be in conflict with each other and not be aware of this. In this paper I will present a working model of culture and then analyze each of the two issues
