Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the flight-related core competencies for professional airline pilots and to structuralize them as components in a team performance framework. To achieve this, the core competency scores from a total of 2,560 OPC (Operator Proficiency Check) missions were analyzed. A principal component analysis (PCA) of pilots’ performance scores across the different competencies was conducted. Four principal components were extracted and a path analysis model was constructed on the basis of these factors. The path analysis utilizing the core competencies extracted adopted an input–process–output’ (IPO) model of team performance related directly to the activities on the flight deck. The results of the PCA and the path analysis strongly supported the proposed IPO model.

Abstract The international research on teams, which is inspired by the input-process-output model, is mostly empirical. Researchers in this field look for causal explanations between independent (e.g., team size and team composition) and dependent (e.g., team performance) variables. Recently, some critics have pointed to the deficits in this model. Especially, the temporal, contextual, and dynamic aspects of teams need to be investigated further (multilevel approach). Emergent states, such as team cognitions, team emotions, and team hierarchies, comprise a promising field of study that leads to a more comprehensive and holistic understanding of teams. These emergent states offer an opportunity to reconcile former concepts (Lewin’s gestalt, Koestler’s holarchy, and Cattell’s syntality) with topical team research. Therefore, the future of research on teams may partly lie in its past.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the level of teacher core competency differs according to the teaching experience of a beauty school teacher. A survey was conducted to analyze the core competencies of beauty teachers. The analysis method is a one-way ANOVA. As a result of analyzing the core competency level of beauty teachers, ‘executive competency’ was the highest, followed by ‘attitude competency’, ‘knowledge competency’. In the case of knowledge, compared to ‘theoretical knowledge of the major and the major subject in charge’, ‘practical ability for the major and the major subject in charge’, ‘the ability to apply teaching and learning evaluation related to the major’, ‘the professor related to the major’, ‘Learning evaluation development ability’ was evaluated low, In the case of performance, the average was slightly higher than that of knowledge and attitude in all competencies, and the level of ‘the ability to instruct students to acquire a certificate related to a major’ was evaluated high. In terms of attitude, ‘the ability to communicate smoothly with peers’ was high. As a conclusion of this study, it was found that in order to respond to the internal and external beauty subject education environment and increase the quality change of beauty subject education, It is necessary to strengthen the competence of professional beauty teachers.

Gallery writing is a widely used variant of brainwriting and the technique is available in electronic and manual forms. This study posits a model based on the input-process-output framework to empirically test the relative efficacy of electronic and manual gallery writing. An experiment using a student sample was conducted and data was collected to test the proposed model. Path analysis shows that while either technique can be used successfully, groups using the electronic version generated more text. Also, free riders were dissatisfied with the meeting process. Some implications of this study are that when a large number of ideas are desired in group meetings, electronic gallery writing might be the preferred technique, while manual gallery writing might be better when meeting participants want to keep the discussion focused on succinct ideas.

Nurses who are capable of developing their competencies appropriately in the field of management are considered fundamental to the sustainability and improvement of health outcomes. These core competencies are the critical competencies to be developed in specific areas. There are different core competencies for nurse managers, but none in the Spanish health system. The objective of this research is to identify the core competencies needed for nurse managers in the Spanish health system. The research was carried out using the Delphi method to reach a consensus on the core competencies and a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to determine construct validity, reducing the dimensionality of a dataset by finding the causes of variability in the set and organizing them by importance. A panel of 50 experts in management and healthcare engaged in a four-round Delphi study with Likert scored surveys. We identified eight core competencies from an initial list of 51: decision making, relationship management, communication skills, listening, Leadership, conflict management, ethical principles, collaboration and team management skills. PCA indicated the structural validity of the core competencies by saturation into three components (α Cronbach >0.613): communication, leadership and decision making. The research shows that eight competencies must be developed by the nursing managers in the Spanish health system. Nurse managers can use these core competencies as criteria to develop and plan their professional career. These core competencies can serve as a guideline for the design of nurse managers’ development programs in Spain.

Throughout the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), establishment the software through various phases. System design is one of the most crucial aspects of the SDLC. The Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a model to build the system. The purpose of the research was to make it easier for people to comprehend the diagram by carefully preparing DFD, then it created software according to the DFD design. Storytelling is the method employed, and it pertains to qualitative ways for creating language patterns. As a design reference, it needs to make the DFD pattern subsequently. The research mimics two scenarios to reflect previous research on the same principle. According to the findings of this study, there are two significant disparities. The first scenario concerns system user activity, whereas the second concerns software performance. Therefore, it corresponds to the core notion of input-process-output; narrative scenario 1 is more consistent and easier to design in the processed results created from sentence patterns to DFD patterns. Scenario 2, on the other hand, connects many process symbols to processes, complicating the DFD design. Finally, scenario 2 is beneficial for requirement's elicitation, whereas scenario 1 applies to business procedures.

Today's university education derives the core competencies of future talent. In addition, in order to strengthen these targeted core competencies, teaching and learning methods and educational evaluation methods are being studied through various approaches. Within this trend, the need for performance evaluation is being emphasized more in a curriculum that requires technical, procedural, and experiential knowledge in order that it might be evaluated in connection with core competencies, such as coding education. Also, the need to develop a rubric that can guarantee the reliability of the results as an objective standard to evaluate performance is growing. This study develops a core competency convergence rubric to strengthen the core competency targeted in the coding-related basic liberal arts curriculum. Furthermore, by actually applying this rubric, we hope to closely examine the appropriateness and effectiveness of this developmental tool. The subjects of this study were 59 students who responded to the questionnaire after taking coding-related courses in the first semester of 2021. The questionnaire prepared, distributed, and obtained in the Google questionnaire environment was used as analysis data. As a result of the quantitative questionnaire analysis, we found that the positive perception among the students was high in terms of their improvement of creativity and convergence thinking, which was achieved by linking the curriculum and the core competencies, along with the effectiveness and suitability of the developed rubric. In the qualitative analysis, we found such effects as: “direction guidance”, “performance standard(standard)”, “improvement of task completion”, “excellence of approach”, “self-inspection tool” and “providing psychological satisfaction”.

ObjectivesTo assess the current status of injury prevention (IP) core competency among medical students majoring in public health in China and to advocate for incorporating IP in the medical curriculum.MethodsThe study used purposive sampling in eight medical universities in China in 2017, including 420 undergraduates and 763 graduates, using self-administered questionnaires based on the core competency instrument for IP with five domains (31 items): A) injury analysis and assessment (8 items), B) IP project planning and implementation (7 items), C) communication (6 items), D) community practice (5 items), and E) leadership and systematic thinking (5 items). The higher score indicated the higher level of proficiency of the ability (scores ranged from 1 to 5). We used linear regression model to test the effect of IP course experience on the core competency mean score after adjusting for potential confounders.ResultsThe total mean score was 2.78 (SD=0.76, median=2.9, range=1–4.55) and 2.68 (SD=0.75, median=2.81, range=1–4.45) for undergraduates and graduates, respectively. There were 60% and 36% of undergraduates and graduates who have ever taken IP course, respectively. IP course class hours were positively associated with core competency level (P<0.05) across five domains (except for domain D) and the total.ConclusionThe core competency level is relatively low among public health students in China. Setting IP courses should be considered as an effective way to improve students’ core competency. It is a step moving towards the IP education promotion, and further boosting the field of public health.
