• W99751105 abstract "This paper examines merits of Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE). Reasons for disagreement with this concept are discussed, and likely impact of MCE on field of adult education and society as a whole is explored. While not a panacea, MCE is instrumental in supporting effective practice of professionals. It is also in keeping with ideal of lifelong learning. The discussion acknowledges that MCE has certain flaws but suggests that benefits far outweigh potential problems. While efforts towards refinement and improvement are necessary and should continue, there are presently inadequate grounds for rejecting idea of MCE. Continuing Professional Education (CPE) has received increasing attention in recent years. While this concept has considerable support, idea of mandating continuing education for professionals is disparaged by many. In professions as varied as engineering, insurance, and nursing, within US and abroad, Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) has been vigorously debated. Within adult education circles issue has been no less contentious. The philosophical and practical concerns related to this issue are significant for any practitioner involved in area of professional development. Human Resource Development (HRD) constitutes fastest growing, most highly visible subset of broader field of adult education and, as such, issues which arise in this area are of special interest to other members of field. This discussion will examine some of perspectives on both sides of ongoing debate. In light of traditional social justice emphasis of adult education, it is perhaps not surprising that there is a strong egalitarian sentiment in field. Persons with this orientation may view MCE with disdain as a means of supporting an artificial professional hierarchy. The negative perception of professions as source of societal inequity is, however, largely undeserved. There have been abuses of professionalization but overwhelming benefits to society tend to eclipse these distasteful occurrences. It is inconceivable that persons in an increasingly complex world would be able to adequately take care of all their needs themselves while still having time and resources to fully develop their own skills. The professions provide a mechanism whereby individual has scope to pursue avenues of self-fulfillment including development of his/her own area of expertise while allowing others with relevant expertise to perform functions for which he/she may be ill equipped. Whether or not one is able to see professions as a positive force, it must be conceded that reliance on them is an inescapable reality in modern society. One of obvious advantages of MCE is potential it offers for continual updating of professionals' skills. In today's environment characterized by rapid change, threat of obsolescence and attendant detriment to performance is great. Mattran (1981) argues that since professions are not but dynamic, individual members of professions cannot retain their integrity if they themselves remain static (p. 47). The practice of mandating continued education is therefore likely to have a positive impact on professional function. Rowden (1996) asserts that the influence of overseas competition, new technology and changing nature of American employees has made effective training and retraining of American workers more critical than ever before (p. 3). The benefits to organizations of having a workforce with current skills are easily apparent. Individuals become adept at learning through practice, such as that which may be gained through MCE, and are thus better able to foster organizational learning and organizational success. Almost inevitably any discussion of enhancement of organizational performance raises specter of employee exploitation. The perception still persists that organizations tend to take unfair advantage of employees. …" @default.
