Evaluation of the 6M Simulation Training Course is discussed with reference to mastery of course content, influence of training on job performance and reaction of course attendants to the course. Results indicate a significant increase in knowledge, irrespective of variables such as age, educational qualifications, years of service, home language, place of origin and job category. A positive change in 34 items related to the job situation and a positive reaction to the course content and training techniques were also found. .Opsomming'n Evaluering van die 6M-Simulasie Opleidingskursus word bespreek met verwysing na die bemeestering van kursusinhoud, die invloed van opleiding op werkprestasie en reaksie van kursusgangers. Resultate dui op 'n beduidende toename in kennis ongeag tussenkomende veranderlikes soos ouderdom, opvoedkundige kwalifikasies, jare diens, huistaal, geboorteplek en werkkategorie. 'n Positiewe reaksie op 34 vrae wat verband hou met die werksituasie, en op die kursusinhoud en opleidingstegnieke word ook gerapporteer.

Abstract. The European Diploma in Psychology defines a common European standard for the competences required to practice as a psychologist. This paper describes how that standard was developed and defined, and why it was considered important to bring together the traditional input-based specification of professional competence, in terms of curriculum and training course content, with a more outcome-oriented approach that focuses on the competences that a professional psychologist needs to demonstrate in practice. The paper addresses three specific questions. What are the competences that a psychologist should possess? Are these competences the same for all areas of practice within professional psychology? How can these competences be assessed?

ABSTRACT This paper assesses the general needs for training oil spill response teams and training in the safe handling of tank truck rollovers. Texas A&M University's new oil spill simulation exercise and tank truck rollover training course provide examples of such training programs. Background information, curriculum design and development, course objectives and goals, and training techniques and equipment are reviewed. The steps in preparing an oil spill simulation exercise, examples of a general spill scenario and information cards, and the basic simulation format and ground rules are described. For the Tank Truck Rollover Training Course, special modifications were made to an MC-306 tank truck, and the hands-on training exercise emphasizes safety considerations and offloading procedures for handling rollover. Discussions of specialized equipment and training techniques for handling rollovers are enhanced by photographs. Adjustments to and adaptations of each program are discussed and future growth and expansion projected.

The Renewable Power Technology Training Course is described in the article which was developed by Renewable Power Technology training lab of State Grid Technology College. The course has been developed to train all new staff of the State Grid and was building in block designed. The blocks were in various forms, including theory, video, and training. The feedback information indicates that the course content can satisfy the job needs of the trainee, the form of design is reasonable. The training effect has been unanimously certificated by the trainee.

Simulation has been applied as a tool for learning and training in sports, psychology and medicine for some time, but its current use and potential for training musicians is less well understood. The aim of this study was to explore musicians’ perceptions and experiences of using simulated performance environments. Nine conservatory students performed in two simulations, each with interactive virtual elements and vivid environmental cues: a recital with a virtual audience and an audition with virtual judges. Qualitative data were collected through a focus group interview and written reflective commentaries. Thematic analysis highlighted the musicians’ experiences in terms of (1) their anticipation of using the simulations, (2) the process of performing in the simulations, (3) the usefulness of simulation as a tool for developing performance skills and (4) ways of improving simulation training. The results show that while simulation was new to the musicians and individual levels of immersion differed, the musicians saw benefits in the approach for developing, experimenting with and enhancing their performance skills. Specifically, the musicians emphasised the importance of framing the simulation experience with plausible procedures leading to and following on from the performance, and they recognised the potential for combining simulation with complementary training techniques.

Purpose The initial purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-organizational training for developing leadership skills and the techniques used to assimilate course content. The study aims to understand incongruities in training and assess their impacts on training effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative research methods were used to assess a five-day course in the Israeli Defense Forces entitled, “Developing leadership skills in the spirit of the Bible.” Triangulation of data was achieved through observations, interviews and conversations with participants. Grounded theory and thematic analysis were used, respectively, to interpret and analyze the data. Findings Results suggest that the course did not support the development of leadership skills. The analysis revealed two themes representing different domains: form (training techniques) and content (values). Combining the two themes indicates an incongruity between the declared and actual content of the training course. Further, this incongruity is supported by the training techniques that were used in this course. Practical implications A clash of values may ensue that leads to long-term confusion and difficulties for participants of the training course and the organization. Originality/value The study makes several theoretical contributions to the literature focusing on the importance of congruence between declared and real training content, and between form and content.

AbstractBackground: Given the limited available time of in-service professionals, the balance between the perceived importance of the course content and training needs is essential for the acceptance and attractiveness of training courses aimed at them. Objectives: The goal of the paper is to contribute to the development of entrepreneurship and business training programs for European SME managers. Methods/Approach: In six European countries a survey focusing on SME managers’ views on the importance of individual items from a list of potential course content items, and their training needs was carried out, and followed by an analysis using exploratory and multivariate techniques. It was aimed at identifying homogeneous groups of managers with common training needs and perceptions of content importance. Results: Homogeneous groups of managers who assign the same importance to certain competences and who have common training needs are identified. Conclusions: Results of our research could help training institutions to develop courses aimed at SME managers. The balancing approach proved to be an interesting method of combining conflicting requirements for the training course curriculum development.

“Biblioteche nelle Scuole” (in brief, “Biblioscuole”, i.e. Libraries at Schools), a three year school library pilot project, has been carrying out since 2004 in Italy to improve school librarians competencies and school library services in order to provide an easy access to information for teachers, pupils and their families, and to promote social inclusion. The Project and some reflections - based on learners’ interaction - about the first part of the education and training course, are presented here.
