Background: Visual inspection of cervix with acetic acid (VIA) is offered at 252 centers in 64 districts of Bangladesh. VIA+ve women are managed at colposcopy clinics of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) and 14 Medical College Hospitals (MCHs). This research work has been supported by 'UICC Cancer Prevention Campaign' programme. Objectives: This study explored the role of print materials and electronic media to improve cervical cancer screening in the present socio-cultural context of Bangladesh. Methods: This study was performed from January to August 2011 at two upazilas of Bangladesh (Singair with screening facility and Sonargaon without screening facility). Data were collected by focus group discussion (FGD) with women, husbands and community people before and after intervention. Information on cervical cancer screening and VIA camps was disseminated using advertisement through local cable line of the television, microphone announcement, service providers and leaflet throughout the week prior to a VIA camp. Three-day VIA camps were organized at the upazila health complex (UHC) of both upazilas. Quantitative data was gathered from women at the camps on source of information on VIA and the best method of awareness creation. Results: The population was aware of "cancer" and a notable number knew about cervical cancer. Baseline awareness on prevention and VIA was low and it was negligible where screening services were unavailable. Awareness was increased fourfold in both upazilas after interventions and half of the women and the majority of the community people became aware of screening and available facilities. Cable line advertisement (25.5%), microphone announcement (21.4%), and discussion sessions (20.4%) were effective for awareness creation on VIA. Television was mentioned as the best method (37.4%) of awareness creation. Conclusion: Television should be used for nation-wide awareness creation. For local awareness creation, cable line advertisement, microphone announcements and health education at Uthan Baithaks/ EPI sessions can easily be adopted by the government.

수학교사들의 전문성 개발을 위해 우리나라 상황에 적합하면서 수학교사들이 필요로 하는 연수 프로그램을 제공하는 PDS를 구축할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 이에 대한 기초 연구로서, 한국형 수학교사 PDS 모델 구축을 위해 선행연구를 바탕으로 모델을 구성하는 요소를 파악하고, 이에 대해 교사, 연수원 교육전문직, 국외 교육전문가에게 수정 및 보완을 위한 자문을 구하여 모델 시안을 도출하였다. 최종 모델은 생애주기, 프로그램 유형, 참여주체라는 세 개의 성분으로 구성되었다. 이와 함께 한국형 수학교사 PDS 모델에 따른 생애주기별 전문성 개발 주제를 제시하였다.
