Structural Process and Impacts of Mentoring Module in Ballet Certificate Program: A Case Study on CBTS Program, Royal Academy of Dance, Malaysia

SUMMARY

This case study aims to give an overview of the structural process of dance mentoring module and investigate its impact in Malaysian dance education, exemplifying CBTS program, known as Certificate in Ballet Teaching Study. For this study, the researchers have employed Eric Parloe’s mentoring model as a theoretical tool to re-interpret the process of CBTS mentoring module. Focusing on insider’s approach, also known as the emic perspective, the researchers used qualitative methods, such as interviews, auto-ethnography, and archive analysis. To discuss the necessity of the mentoring module, the researchers have examined the structure and process of CBTS 404 Mentoring Module first. After that, this study scrutinized student-teachers’ purpose and experience while they were enrolling in the CBTS program and analyzed the influence of the mentoring module based on the perspective and experience of the currently certified mentors. Lastly, the researchers have explored the impacts of the mentoring module based on previous experience of the student-teachers and mentors. Based on these analyses, the researchers have argued that the mentoring module, CBTS404, plays an actual role in teaching how to apply acquired theoretical knowledge to practical teaching environments.

Se argumenta la necesidad del enfoque sistémico de la superación de éstos profesionales sobre la base de premisas que deben cumplimentarse en este proceso.Resultados: el enfoque sistémico como herramienta metodológica permite modelar el proceso de superación de los médicos especialistas clínicos en el área de la inmunología, como ciencia transdisciplinaria, desde una perspectiva integradora, interpretándose en su aspecto estático (estructura, componentes) y en su aspecto dinámico (funcionamiento y relaciones), sobre la base de un aprendizaje desarrollador. Al modelar este proceso también está en condiciones de ampliar las ofertas educativas; y por ende; la adquisición y transformación de conocimientos,habilidades y valores por parte de este profesional, así como la adecuada actualización sistemática de acuerdo con el desarrollo científico-técnico, al contribuir a elevar la productividad, eficiencia y calidad del trabajo, lo que implica un avance y desplazamiento de las fronteras del conocimiento.Conclusiones: el enfoque sistémico de la superación profesional del médico especialista clínico en el área de la Inmunología, constituye el punto de partida para el establecimiento de estrategias que posibiliten su perfeccionamiento con una concepción científica más acabada.ABSTRACTObjective: to argument the systematical focus of professional upgrade on the base of premises that should be complemented in this process.Methods: theoretical methods as historical logical analysis, modelation and the analysis processing analysis, synthesis induction and structural deduction. The necessity of systemical focus of these professional’s update is argued on the base of premises that should be complemented in this process.Results: the systematical focus as a methodological tool allow to modelate the upgrade process of clinicalspecialist physicians in the Immunology area, as a transdisciplinary science, from an integrated perspective interpretating in its static aspect (structure, components) and in its dynamic aspect (functioning and relationships) on the base of a developing learning. Modelating this process, is also in conditions to extend the educative offers and within the accession and transformation of knowledge, abilities and valors by part of this professional, as well as the satisfactory and systematic update according to the scientific technological development, contributing to upheave the productivity, efficiency and quality of the work, that implicate an advance and displacement of the knowledge’s frontiers.Conclusions: the systematical focus of professional upgrade of clinical specialist physician in the Immunology area constitutes a point of reference for the establishment of strategies that allow its improvement with a scientific conception more completed.Keywords: professional upgrade; profesional; systematical focus; clinical specialist physician; Immunology.
