RESUMO
Background@#Technology has been a vital part of the 21st-century classroom. Because of these fast-changing innovations, this study focused on the relationship between computer self-efficacy, knowledge, and use of Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK). @*Objectives@#The study determined the perceived levels of computer self-efficacy and the perceived levels of knowledge (TPACK) among faculty members pursuing post-graduate degree programs, described the use of TPACK as reflected in their actual instructional designs, and determined the correlation between computer self-efficacy, knowledge, and use of TPACK.@*Methodology@#This study was conducted in one government graduate school in Manila, Philippines. The “Computer Self-efficacy Scale” developed by Teoh and Koh in 2010 was administered. TPACK was measured by administering the Survey of Preservice Teachers' Knowledge of Teaching and Technology by Schmidt et al. in 2009. @*Results@#Results showed that faculty members perceive that they have almost a high self-efficacy in terms of basic computer skills. In terms of TPACK, faculty members were observed to be only neutral in knowing technological knowledge. Correlations found were among the subconstructs of Computer Self-efficacy and the TPACK framework, although their relationship cannot be further explored due to limitations of data gathered. @*Conclusion@#Not all computer skills aid the learning experience. For example, results show that using skills like using word processors do not necessarily correlate with methods of teaching. It is recommended to perform a more in-depth analysis of the instructional designs and proficiency in web-based instructions to obtain correlations between constructs.

EnsinoRESUMO
El objetivo de este documento es analizar las características de la Inserción laboral de los egresados (as) del Plan Único de Especialización de Enfermería (PUEE) de la Escuela Nacional de Enfermería y Obstetricia (ENEO) de la UNAM en doce generaciones. La información proviene de una investigación de tipo transversal y descriptiva. Metodología . El universo lo constituyen los 1067 egresados de las generaciones de 1997 al 2008 que acepten participar en el estudio. Los datos que se reportan constituyen una tercera parte de ese universo (31.1%). Los resultados muestran que los egresados en su mayoría laboran en el D.F. o Estado de México (85 y 7% respectivamente). Nueve de cada diez laboran en las principales instituciones públicas del país (62% en instituciones para población abierta y 29% de seguridad social). El 28% tiene la categoría de Enfermera Especialista y otro 20% ocupa puestos de mayor responsabilidad. En cuanto a las funciones principales 68% realizan actividades que implican el trato directo con el paciente, 21% de tipo administrativo, y sólo 1.2% participa en actividades de investigación. Discusión: las instituciones deben continuar implementando estrategias que faciliten la culminación del proceso de los estudios de posgrado ya que como se observó en este estudio quienes se han graduado tienen en mayor medida mejor posición en el empleo. Es necesaria la vinculación Universidad Mercado laboral a fin de incorporar con mayor facilidad a los egresados en dichos escenarios. En conclusión. Las instituciones educativas además de considerar las características del mercado laboral deben continuar implementando estrategias que faciliten la culminación del proceso de los estudios de posgrado ya que como se observó en este estudio quienes se han graduado tienen en mayor medida mejor posición en el empleo.
Objective: the objective of this research is to analyze the employment placing process of 12 generations from the eneo-unam's Nursing Specialization Unique Plan. Methodology: Basic descriptive study on a sample from the 1997-2008 generations' 1,067 total graduates. Results: findings show that 85% and 7% are employed by the Federal District and State of Mexico respectively. Nine out of ten graduates are employed by the country's principal public institutions (62% in open-population institutions and 29% in social security institutions). 28% are employed as specialist nurses, and 20% assume roles with more responsibilities. 68% perform activities related to the direct management of patients, 21% have administrative duties, and only 1.2% is fully engaged in research. Discussion: considering the results, and that graduates hold better labor positions; and in order to promote post-graduatestudies completion, education institutions should keep improving their post-graduate programs and also support their links with the shifting labor markets. Conclusion: it is necessary to strengthen the strategies which promote the synergies that contribute to the presence of the eneo-unam's Nursing Specialization Unique Plan graduates in the Nursing profession and labor markets.
