We used a simulation methodology to provide a direct measurement of how incidents and accidents are investigated. Thirty-seven aviation maintenance personnel with incident investigation experience investigated are six incident scenarios that we developed from actual maintenance incidents. Using a methodology developed by Woodcock and Smiley (1999), participants were given a brief incident description and had to question the experimenter to determine how the incident happened. We counted the number and types of information requests, and recorded their sequence. Based on the sequence data we propose a five-stage model of incident investigation. An initial trigger initiates an interactive data collection/data analysis period, starting by determining spatial and temporal boundaries then investigating in a somewhat sequential manner. A stopping rule is used to determine when to stop investigating and begin the final reporting stage. The number of facts considered grows during the investigation stage, but then decreases at the reporting stage. Thus, basing recommendations on the reports of incidents may not consider all causal factors.

English is the language of aviation, including aviation maintenance. As more maintenance work is outsourced to non-English-speaking countries, language error may be a problem. A study of 254 maintenance personnel at nine sites in Chinese-speaking countries measured the reported incidences of seven scenarios and tested intervention effectiveness. Four of the scenarios had reported incidence of 4-5 per year, and the expected causal factors were reported. A test of interventions to work documentation revealed that participants tended to maintain a constant level of accuracy and speed to produce this level. A Chinese translation of the document was the only significant intervention, giving about a 10% speed advantage.

Background: This research sought to understand the perspective of mineworkers regarding incident investigations, with the objective of identifying incident investigations improvement opportunities. First, through interviews, the research sought to identify the causal factors considered during investigations and the reasons for conducting investigations in the Ghanaian mining industry. Secondly, through questionnaire surveys, the study focused on understanding the extent to which a large sample of mineworkers considered the identified causal factors and investigation reasons relevant and applicable in their mine. Method: Data were collected from 41 participants through interviews and 659 respondents through surveys, and the data were analyzed through thematic, content, and statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis. Result: The interviews led to the identification of five and nine categories of incident causal factors and reasons for investigating incidents, respectively. The results suggested a focus on workers’ unsafe acts as the main incident causal factor and identifying the person who caused the incident as one of the major reasons for investigating incidents, as these two factors where the modal choice from both the interviews and survey across all five mines. The results further showed that concerning the accident causal factors and the reasons for investigating incidents, no significant difference was observed between the perspectives of mineworkers involved in investigations and mineworkers with no investigation responsibilities. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the results that talking to ordinary mineworkers does not generate innovative safety responses in this context, as the workers believe whatever they are taught, without critiquing it. Again, the focus on workers’ behavior as an accident causal factor is an indication of single-loop learning in contrast to double-loop learning, and its implication as well as opportunities to strengthen incident investigation focusing on improving organizational safety have been discussed.

Indonesian education in recent decades gets many problems such as the weak young generations‟character because the success of a country can be seen from its people‟s characters. We need some breakthroughs which one of them can be done by implementing early religious character in school either in classroom and in religious exstracurricular. Religious exstracurricular has important role in the process of students‟ religious character buildings. This research is done in Brawijaya Islamic Junior Highschool, Mojokerto to know (1) The plan of religious extracurricular program in school, (2) The implementation of religious exstracurricular in building students‟ religious characters in school, and (3) Evaluation of the implementation of religious exstracurricular towards the building of students‟ religious characters in school.  This research uses qualitative research with case study approach. This research uses three data collection techniques; they are observation, interview and documentation. This research uses interactive data analysis by Miles and Huberman with stages of data collection, data presentation, data conclusion and data validation.  This results show that (1) The plan of religious extracurricular programs aims to build students‟ religious characters. The religious extracurricular program includes Qur’an arts literacy, Qur’an memoryzation, praying together, shalawat al-banjari, a spiritual tour, basic training of rohis leadership and commemoration of Islamic holidays. (2) The Implementation of religious extracurricular is done with three kinds of daily, weekly and anually activities. It is done by giving spiritual lecture, good example, and habit in the school‟s activities.

Safety considerations require that air carrier maintenance be of the highest quality and essentially error-free. Economic considerations require that maintenance activities be as efficient as possible. Success in meeting both safety and economic goals depends on the performance of those working in the aviation maintenance community. A human factors guide can be of value in supporting and enhancing the performance of aviation maintenance personnel. One end product of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) program on “Human Factors in Aviation Maintenance” is a guidebook presenting human factors information oriented specifically toward the air carrier maintenance workforce. The Human Factors Guide presents established principles of job design and work. Coverage is broad and includes a variety of topics considered important in determining maintenance effectiveness and in the control of maintenance error. The preparation of the Human Factors Guide was done in a manner to ensure that needs of users were addressed. Size and format were selected in terms of user preferences. Information obtained through a series of FAA-sponsored human factors meetings plus that gained from a survey of maintenance personnel guided both the selection of topics and the presentation of materials.

How do theological students perceive and behave related to a scientific research in theology? Using a qualitative empirical research methodology, a descriptive study case is conducted in an undergraduate class of a theological school or seminary to answer the question. The research method is a literature and descriptive approach for one semester in a research methodology and proposal writing guidance class. Data collection techniques are unstructured interviews-both open and in-depth, observation and analysis of documents. Data validation uses source triangulation and structured reflection journals. Data analysis uses interactive data analysis techniques. The stages are data collection, data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions and verification. The result of the study indicates that the ability to conduct scientific research is an inseparable part of a student of theology. Nevertheless, the understanding and development of students' scientific research skills still need to be improved for two reasons. First, there is still a tendency to conduct research by simply filling out the available proposal format without conducting a deeper preliminary study. Secondly, students seem difficult to distinguish between empirical and non-empirical methodologies, including the use of their respective methods.Bagaimanakah persepsi dan perilaku mahasiswa teologi terkait dengan penelitian ilmiah dalam ilmu teologi? Menggunakan metodologi penelitian empiris kualitatif, sebuah studi kasus deskriptif dilakukan di sebuah kelas program studi S-1 Teologi sebuah sekolah tinggi teologi untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut. Metode penelitiannya adalah pendekatan kepustakaan dan deskriptif dengan strategi studi kasus tunggal terpancang yaitu kelas metodologi penelitian dan bimbingan penulisan proposal selama satu semester. Teknik yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data adalah wawancara terbuka dan mendalam tidak terstruktur,  observasi dan analisis dokumen.   Validasi data dilakukan dengan metode trianggulasi sumber dan jurnal refleksi terstruktur. Data dianalisa menggunakan teknik analisis data interaktif dengan tahapan: pengumpulan, reduksi, penyajian data, penarikan kesimpulan dan verifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya keyakinan bahwa kemampuan melakukan penelitian ilmiah adalah bagian tak terpisahkan bagi seorang mahasiswa teologi. Walaupun demikian, pemahaman dan pengembangan keterampilan melakukan penelitian ilmiah para mahasiswa masih perlu ditingkatkan karena dua alasan. Pertama, masih terlihat kecenderungan melakukan penelitian hanya sekadar mengisi format proposal yang tersedia tanpa melakukan studi pendahuluan lebih mendalam. Kedua, masih terlihat juga kesulitan membedakan metodologi empiris dan non-empiris termasuk penggunaan metode-metodenya masing-masing.
