摘要

目的:本文旨在评估COVID-19大流行对专业组织成员和普通公众开展业务的专业实践的影响程度。利用事件、出勤记录和已登记的意见对实践进行调查。目的是确定在从实体(面对面)转向虚拟(在线)运营模式的过程中所面临的挑战和采取的措施。在过去的两年里,我们的生活方式从家庭生活、工作到教育都发生了彻底的变化。这已经影响了专业组织现在开展业务的方式,包括需要修改提高技能和持续实践的方式。所有这一切的核心是计算和通信对所有人在生活中所有工作的作用。目前的研究集中在专业活动和支持提供给英国计算机协会(BCS)的成员,特许信息技术协会。作者审查所提供的活动,为会员和公众提供的行为支持。该方法包括对所有利益相关者进行调查并分析所获得的数据。COVID-19大流行的爆发对世界各地的每个人来说都是一个真正的冲击。与预期相反,面对必须在线处理每个人的现实,目前的研究发现,全球专业组织的活动数量有所增加。最有趣的事实是,参与这些活动的人数发现越来越多的人使用电子学习和其他相关的在线工具和资源。这些活动的参与者不再局限于当地成员,而是遍布全球。人们希望举办更多的活动,也希望有更多的个人和团体自愿或参与。研究的局限性/意义当前研究的局限性在于,只有一个专业机构,即英国特许信息技术协会(BCS)调查了许多活动中的一小部分。现在正在为许多团体和分支机构开展更多的活动,这一事实意味着将有更多的数字数据可供进一步研究,以告知成员和公众的发展情况。实际影响2019冠状病毒病大流行的影响是巨大且不断演变的。它仍然是世界需要处理的一个复杂问题。在众多现实中,网络生活已成为一种新常态,每个人都必须学会适应。像BCS这样的专业组织不仅需要考虑其成员,还需要考虑公众,以及社会和企业如何才能持续发展。这涉及考虑发展教育资源和适当的平台,以满足社会上公共、私营和志愿部门的需要。社会影响由于有限的物理(面对面)互动,以前开发的流程将需要审查。专业组织需要根据疫情影响所产生的订正做法制定和实施新的知情政策。从地方活动中产生的全球参与提出了涉及时间、空间(地理位置)和文化差异的挑战。社会中存在的数字鸿沟和获取快速可靠的互联网服务也值得考虑。面对世界各地每个人都面临的各种各样的挑战,COVID-19对应用于教育和商业的专业实践的影响非常重要。无论是在国内还是在全球范围内,这种情况都很严重。虽然真正的原因尚未确定,但重要的是找到并实施应对挑战和继续生活的方法。本文建立了一些影响,并提出了一些建议,这些建议对信息技术专业人员的前进有用。

The impact of COVID-19 on professionalism in practice and future directions
PurposeThis paper seeks to assess the level of impact of COVID-19 pandemic on professional practice for members of professional organisations and the general public in the conduct of business. Investigations into practice using events, attendance records and registered views are carried out. The aim is to identify the challenges and actions being taken to mitigate against them in moving from physical (face-to-face) to virtual (online) mode of operations.Design/methodology/approachThe past two years have seen a complete change in the way we live from life at home, at work and in education. This has impacted the way professional organisations now conduct business including the need to revise ways of upskilling and sustaining practice. Core to all of this is the role of computing and communication for all persons in all works of life. The current study focusses on professional activities and support provided to members of British Computer Society (BCS), The Chartered Institute for IT. The authors examine the events provided, the conduct support provided to members and the general public. The method includes use of surveys of all stakeholders and analysis of data obtained.FindingsThe onset of COVID-19 pandemic was perceived as a real shock for everyone everywhere. Contrary to expectations, faced with the reality of having to do everyone online, the current study found that there were observed increased in the number of activities of professional organisations worldwide. Most interesting is that fact that the number of people participating in these events was found to be increasing using e-learning and other associated online tools and resources. Participants of these events were no longer restricted to local members but widespread globally. There was the appetite for more events to be put up and willingness for more individual and groups to volunteer and/or participate.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitations of current study are that only a few of the many activities have been investigated in this one professional body, BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. The fact that more events are now being carried out for the many groups and branches implies a lot more digital data would be available for further study to inform developments of members and the general public.Practical implicationsThe impact of COVID-19 pandemic is a huge and evolving. It remains and presents a complicated case for the world to deal with. Amongst the many realities is that living life online has become a new normal and one everybody must learn to adjust to.
