On Farm

In family, parents act as facilitator who assist their children towards success. It can be seen in farm family while parents are taking part in decision making or giving suggestion on when to start planting crops. However, it is doubtful whether young farmers from non-farm family will experience the same opportunity. Therefore, this research aimed at understanding the different characters of young farmers whose parents work as farmers and non-farmers including their knowledge and technical practice on on-farm activity. This quantitative study was conducted in Prambanan and Kalasan Subdistrict, Sleman, D.I. Yogyakarta.  Selected through census, 42 young farmers were interviewed based on questionnaire. The data were analysed by using non-parametric analysis because of the data normality and Kolmogorov Smirnov’s analysis was implemented due to the objectives of this study. The result of analysis indicates that young farmers’ knowledge from different family background is also different. Young farmers from farm family have high knowledge on local wisdom in their organic farming. Furthermore, they are also socialized with more social networks. Their applied knowledge is better due to their experience and facility support. On the other hand, both young farmers who come from farm family and non-farm family do not perform different behaviour on their on-farm practice. New media including social media and social learning appear as the main additional support besides parents which can minimize the gap of practical skills among them. Collaboration on farmer group and extension workers’ role can be an alternative to develop young farmers’ knowledge and skills.

Neighbourhood teams were formed throughout Worcestershire in early 2018, which led to a change in staff roles and responsibilities, as these are multidisciplinary community teams. It became apparent during the transition that many of the staff in band 6 roles required additional support and education to enable them to develop their knowledge and skills. Therefore, a clinical leadership programme was developed specifically for these staff. The programme followed the principles of the NHS Leadership Framework and consisted of six full-day training sessions. During the programme, staff identified issues within their team and developed a plan to address these issues over the following 6–12 months. The next two cohorts of the programme included staff from out-of-hours community nursing teams. The feedback from all delegates and managers was overwhelmingly positive, and delegates continue to implement their plans.

Objectives: First aid programmes should include not only the transfer of knowledge and skills but also improve participants’ helping attitudes. The aim of this study was to evalute the immediate and long-term effects of a 3-day first aid programme for kindergarten children. Methods: One hundred and eighteen kindergarten children (5–7 years old) from an inner-city kindergarten located in Pécs, Hungary, were involved in this study between January 2016 and June 2017. Training consisted of three 45-minute sessions involving the transfer of theoretical knowledge and practical skills about first aid. Knowledge, skills and attitudes were assessed by means of a questionnaire developed for the study and through observation. Participants were tested before and immediately after the programme and at 4 and 15 months. Results: The majority of children had no prior knowledge in first aid. Knowledge and skills significantly improved immediately after training and remained significantly higher at 4 and 15 months when compared to baseline – calling the ambulance ( p < 0.01), performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR; p < .01), using an automated external defibrillator (AED; p < .01), handling an unconscious patient ( p < .01) and managing bleeding ( p < .01). Attitudes towards first aid improved significantly after the programme ( p < .01) and remained improved after 4 and 15 months when compared to baseline ( p < .01). Conclusion: Beginning first aid education in kindergarten can be useful. Children cannot become professional bystanders immediately following training, but the programme can offer an introduction of first aid. However, the results decreased substantially after 15 months so regular refreshing training should be recommended.

The Relationship

Based on two ethnographic studies of technology-driven innovation in music education and judicial practice, in this paper I investigate the nature and meaning of mediation as a primary aspect of our way of experiencing and understanding reality. I explore what happens in an established domain of practice when the introduction of new technologies, such as the computer and video recording, requires practitioners to work with a new medium for carrying out their practices. In spite of the apparent distance of the two practical domains, music and the judicial, the two cases point to surprisingly similar phenomena affecting the nature of objects, the relationship between objects and their representations, and the perceptual and practical skills of the practitioners. The paper shows to what extent a practice is embedded in the medium and discusses the coping strategies that musicians and judges enact in order to make sense of and master the new media, and to reweave the ripped fabric of their practice.

There is an opinion that accounting is a work on the chronological processing of the data of business transactions that have already occurred at the enterprise. Many applicants are not interested in the accounting profession, considering it narrowly focused, boring, and unprestigious. Although, graduates of accounting specialties have applied knowledge and the ability to implement them in their specialty, as accounting is required by all business entities, without exception, from an individual entrepreneur to transnational corporations. Knowledge and skills in accounting disciplines allow graduates to choose a large number of specialties from an accountant to a financial director or an auditor. Thus, the subject of the research is a set of theoretical and methodological issues regarding the importance of accounting knowledge for managers of various levels of enterprise administration. The purpose of the article is a theoretical justification of the methodological aspects of the importance of acquiring accounting competencies by managers of enterprises.

Objectives: Undergraduate exposure to urology is limited and junior doctors often feel underprepared for managing urological problems. We therefore established a one-day urology teaching course which covered the entire British Association of Urological Surgeons curriculum. Methods: Graduates of a teaching hospital undertook a survey regarding their practical skills and knowledge in urology ( n=20), with responses compared to a sample of students who attended the boot camp ( n=24). Results: Forty per cent of graduates thought they knew most of the curriculum and 0% knew the entire curriculum, increasing to 79.4% and 8.3%, respectively, in the post-boot camp cohort. Forty per cent felt ‘mostly prepared’ for final examinations, increasing to 70.8%; 35% rated their knowledge as ‘good’, increasing to 50%, with a further 12.5% feeling it was ‘excellent’; 0% were ‘very confident’ in examination skills, increasing to 20.8%. One hundred per cent of students thought the boot camp helped in preparation for medical finals, 70.8% felt it better prepared them for foundation training. All course candidates thought the course increased their knowledge and skills in urology. Conclusion: This urology boot camp improves medical students’ skills and knowledge. This course would benefit medical students nationally, providing comprehensive, standardised training in urology and preparing students for final examinations and foundation years. Level of evidence: Not applicable.

Systematic Selection

This article reported up-to-date studies on competencies issues of TVET educators from Malaysia’s institutions. Various electronic databases were used and through systematic selection, 12 scientific articles were identified. The findings of the identified studies were organized by five emerging key matters (1) imbalance of technical and non-technical competency; (2) lack of practical skills training and work experience; (3) issue of greening TVET; (4) lack of self-concept and self-confidence in improving performance; and (5) lack of pedagogical approach for social and humanity competency. This review indicates that these five key matters about competency apply to the current norm of Malaysian TVET educators across all ages. Thus, the review concludes by suggesting educators to progressively increase their knowledge and skills through theoretical and practical training and real experiences acquired from home and abroad. This will enhance their competencies in line with the national and international core standards, that aim to produce skilled, knowledgeable, and high-quality workforces in various TVET industries.

Evaluation Information

The knowledge and skills required in wine evaluation, information and serving vary depending on the nature of profession where work with wine is involved. Although the waiter, the cook and the chef, the bartender and the sommelier have different approaches to wine due to their duties, there are a number of overlapping areas of knowledge and practical skills, which must be included in training programmes. We suggest that in Hungary the Portuguese model should be followed as an education technique in the HORECA industry. Thus, the theoretical and practical training should take place in regional centers, with student dormitories, and public restaurants. The vocational may be part-time, partly paid, and partly with state support.

What can you do to virtually teach the hands-on skills traditionally taught in labs? If you include simulations, active experimentation, discovery-learning techniques, numerous questions with detailed feedback, video, animations, and photographs, you can effectively teach practical hands-on skills through multimedia technology. Through discussion and demonstration, this session will highlight practical tips for implementing the instructional development cycle as well as uncommon but effective instructional design strategies for teaching practical skills. Some of the highlighted programs (such as a virtual chemistry lab) have pushed the boundaries of what can be accomplished with multimedia technology. By the end of this interactive session, participants (who can range from novices to experts) should be able to identify computer-based training applications that effectively use multimedia technology, generate examples of where new media technology can be appropriately used to virtually teach hands-on skills, and decide where to incorporate the strategies shown into their computer-based training productions.
