When a student makes an error, the instructor wonders what possible misconception caused that error (Self, 1990) and attempts to correct it through altering the instruction method. Consequently, student models represent the system’s assumptions of learner knowledge and preferences without giving any guarantees that this model accurately reflects any of the information it contains. These models are utilized to present the right type of materials at the right point in time in the right presentation style (Fisher, 2001) in order to achieve optimal knowledge transfer. There are two main approaches followed when modeling student knowledge. The first attempts to delve into the cognitive workings of the student’s mind and tries to best explain how the results could be obtained. Some of those who followed this approach are Martin and Vahn Lehn (1995), Langley, Wogulis, and Ohlsson (1990), Ikeda, Kono, and Mizoguchi (1993), among others. The second approach assumes the process that occurs between the “inputs” and “outputs” that occur in a “black box” scenario. The researchers who adopt this presumption attempt to formulate a mapping between the situation and student response to that situation. Some of those who are following this type of modeling include Webb, Cumming, Richard, and Yum (1991) and Webb and Kuzmycz (1996).

Background: Guidelines of neonatal resuscitation are revised regularly. Gaps in knowledge transfer commonly occur when the guidelines are communicated to the clinical practitioners. Maintaining body temperature and supporting oxygenation are main goals that clinical practitioners aim to achieve in assisting newborns during the feto-neonatal transition at birth. Objectives: In this study, we aim to examine the compliance to guidelines in neonatal resuscitation regarding the temperature maintenance and oxygen use in newborns at birth. Methods: From October to November 2013, a prospective questionnaire surveillance was conducted in all attended deliveries at all four hospitals in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. All clinical practitioners (registered nurses, physicians and respiratory therapists) were requested to complete the questionnaires immediately after the attended delivery regarding temperature maintenance and oxygenation monitoring. Descriptive statistics were used with mean±SD (range) and % presented. Results: During the 14-days study period, data was obtained in 518 of 712 (73%) attended deliveries of newborns with gestational age 38.6±2.0 (23-42) weeks and birth weight 3324±589 (348-6168) g. Of these deliveries, 58% were normal vaginal deliveries and 29% were cesarean sections. There were 8.8% and 8.4% newborns who required positive pressure ventilation and continuous positive pressure, respectively. Radiant warmer heat was used in 81% (419/518) with 63% (266/419) turned to full power. Room temperature was 21.6±1.6 (17-31)°C. Body temperature at 30-60 min after birth was 36.8±0.5 (32.4-38.1)°C with hypothermia (<36.5°C) in 17%. Percutaneous oxygen saturation was measured in 15% newborns and 96% had sensors placed at the right wrist. At the initiation of resuscitation, 21% oxygen was used in 76% and the oxygen concentration was adjusted according to an oxygen saturation chart in 17%. In 70% of the cases, clinical practitioners commented that this chart was not helpful. Conclusions: Gaps in knowledge transfer contribute to non-compliance in the guidelines of neonatal resuscitation for temperature maintenance and oxygen use. Caution is needed to avoid hypothermia and hyperoxia in at-risk populations such as prematurity.

During the five-year period of the Vojvodina Economic Development Program implementation, €350 million has been invested in the target area. The aim of the present research is to review the process and achievements of farmer training and to introduce a model of successful knowledge transfer. The success of online farmer training was analyzed using statistical methods. A general model introducing a concrete practice example was developed using structural analysis and modeling. As a result of the research, we point out that improving the level of knowledge of farmers through training is a key issue in the operation of successful integration systems, in the production of crops of the right quality and quantity. Due to the fact that the design was made to be user-friendly, and requires a low-level technical equipment and IT skills, the knowledge base is equally accessible to farmers regardless of age, education and place of residence. The program expands the level of knowledge and digital competencies of the farmers, and provides useful information for further developments. The flowchart presented in the article is a suitable tool to increase the efficiency of the training today and can serve as a reference for other institutions engaged in similar activities.

Purpose The researchers wanted to examine the mediating factors operating in the “black box” between HPWS and employee outcomes. Design/methodology/approach The authors obtained their data from a variety of customer-contact employees, such as front desk agents, food servers and concierges, in four and five-star hotels in the Romanian cities of Sibiu and Bucharest. They sent out questionnaires measuring psychological capital, such as self-reliance, hope, resilience and optimism, as well as work engagement, creative performance and extra-role performance. Supervisors were also asked their opinions. Findings The analysis of customer-contact employees and their supervisors in the Romanian hotel industry suggested that psychological capital and work engagement were the two most important factors operating in the “black box” between HPWS and employee outcomes. Originality/value There is great value for businesses in the conclusions of the research. It shows how critical it is to establish various HPWS programs that boost engagement, as well as indicating the importance of providing job security and designing recruitment processes that root out people with the right skills.

Handwashing with soap one of the Clean and Healthy Behavior. PHBS is also conducted in schools based on KMK No. 1429 / MENKES / SK / XII / 2006, and became one of the duties of the nurse as an extension worker. The success of counseling with the selection of appropriate methods. The methods used in SMP N 1 Gunung Putri are lecture methods, group discussions, and role play methods. Known data of sick students in 2015/2016, 143 times tifoid become first sequence with incidence 60 times (42%), ISPA 30 times (21%) and skin disease 20 times (14%). By hand washing is expected to reduce disease and can improve student health status. This study analyzes the influence of the use of role play method on hand washing properly viewed from the knowledge of students of class VII SMP N 1 Gunung Putri Bogor in 2016. This type of research is quantitative, quasi experimental design with nonequivalent control group design. By probability sampling technique, that is cluster random sampling. Respondents 50 (25 experiments and 25 controls). Data were obtained through pre and post test with questionnaire and hand washing practice. Statistical analysis used independent t-test, paired t-test, ANNOVA followed by post hoc scheffe. Independent t-test result result is sig.0.610 which means there is no difference between the two classes (equivalent). The result of paired t-test result is sig value in both classes <0.05 which means there is influence of knowledge. The result of post hoc scheffe on the correct knowledge and hand washing produced interaction by looking at significance and mean value ie A2B1 with sig. 0.31 and A2B2 with sig. 0.14 which are both role play classes. Mean A2B2 75.00 which means there is interaction influence so it can be concluded that Ha accepted that there is interaction influence the use of role play method on hand washing is correct in terms of student knowledge. This research is expected to contribute in providing reference in choosing the right method. As well as to wash the right hands become a habit and entrust to the respondents in order to improve the degree of health.

Population ageing is a phenomenon that is quite new and irreversible in the history of mankind. Every country and every organisation is concerned while it is not certain that all the risks and challenges have been clearly identified. Clearly, there is a risk of massive knowledge loss, i.e., “Knowledge Crash”, due to massive retirements, but not exclusively for this reason. This risk is not evaluated at the right level, and in this regard, this article, by including the problem of “Knowledge Crash” in the more general framework of “Knowledge Management”, enlarges the concepts of knowledge, generation, and knowledge transfer. The author proposes a global approach, starting from a strategic analysis of a knowledge capital and ending in the implementation of socio-technical devices for inter-generational knowledge transfer.

Teachers as professional educators must have knowledge and abilities who suitable with their profession. The professionalism criteria educators have academic qualifications and competencies who includes; (1) Pedagogic Competence, (2) Personality Competence, (3) Professional Competence, and (4) Social Competence. All of these four competencies cannot stand alone, but are mutually integrated in learning; it means that they are based on one another components which underlie other components. Besides, to establish the children with character can be carried out by direct or indirect fostering of faith, worship, and character which is carried out gradually and continuously, as early as possible in accordance to the childrens’ habit and psychology development using various approaches. Meanwhile, among the right approaches is through a habitual approach, exemplary, educative and persuasive, advice and stories that can deep the heart. As exemplified by Allah and His Messenger in educating and teaching humans. The teacher professionalism will establish synergies between the implementation of knowledge transfer activities that continue to prioritize quality with the realization of moral students who uphold religious values. Building student character by instilling habits about good things so that students become understood (cognitive domain), instill values ​​and instill what is permissible and what is not (affective domain), able to do (psychomotor domain) and set an example of life ( living model)
