CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT ACCORDING TO AN INNOVATIVE MODEL

Summary/Abstract: Every morning, in Africa, when the sun rises, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it will have to run faster than the fastest lion … otherwise the lion will kill it. Every morning, in Africa, when the sun goes up, a lion awakes. It knows it will have to run faster than the slowest gazelle … or it will starve to death. So, it does not matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: as soon as the sun rises, you must run. The learning cycle of professional development involves experience, action, reflection, decision, and processing. The continuing professional development of the staff activating in research involves boosting and diversifying the skills of the personnel to take part in far more complex activities and also requires higher responsibilities.
