Monitoring Training Programmes Using Level of Use Interviews

Abstract

Many sound innovations in vocational education and training ‘fail’ because they are poorly implemented. This finding has recently prompted some vocational educators and trainers to find more effective methods for monitoring the learning outcomes of their training programmes in the workplace. This paper reports on a case study of innovation implementation in a unit of a large Australian telecommunication organisation. A form of participatory action research enabled the monitoring of the training outcomes to be undertaken by the (17) front‐line managers themselves. The Levels of Use (LoU) of the innovation interview was adapted by the participants to monitor a new telephone repair service called ‘Fix‐it‐First‐Time’. The main findings reported here deal with the success of the action learning process that was integral to measuring the implementation outcomes. These findings are also briefly discussed in the context of some European trends in vocational education and training.     

The Use of Reflective Journals in Initial Teacher Training

The intention of this article is to examine the role of reflective journals in Initial Teacher Training courses, and, in particular, how they can enable students to develop critical independence for professional self-appraisal. It explores the value of journal writing in the process of learning about teaching by reproducing an edited extract of one PGCE (Post-Graduate Certificate in Education) student's course journal, and by offering both a student's and a tutor's perspective of the significance of the journal.

The Use of Videotaped Observations to Analyse the Effectiveness of Two Teaching Films

Two instructional films were produced to teach skills which were badly performed in a chemistry undergraduate laboratory. The films were assessed by examining their impact on student performance. This was done by videotaping students at work after they had watched the films and analysing their actions using a checklist of the teaching points made. While few conclusions could be drawn, the films were shown to be at least as effective as other methods of instruction; the analysis, while lengthy, was thought to be worthwhile. Further use of the videotapes was made to examine student behaviour in the laboratory and to study how some students learn from and interact with each other.

Developments in 'Mentoring' in Romanian Initial Teacher Training

There is a developing interest in the role of the schoolteacher as mentor to teachers in training in Romanian secondary schools. Despite the fact that mentors are both overworked and under-rewarded in Romania, when their unique contribution to the teacher training process is diminished, the efficacy of the training process is shown to be adversely affected. This is the perception of both the mentors themselves, and of some 700 children exposed to the trainees. This paper attempts to demonstrate that the mentoring process is a viable way of supporting trainee teachers even in a context which would be seen by most European countries as extremely difficult. Governmental financial strictures are threatening this emerging methodology, and in the light of this the author proposes a number of ways in which the mentoring programme in Romanian schools might be encouraged and spread to other universities who are engaged in the teacher training process.

An Experimental Investigation of Videotaped Lectures in Online Courses

Lecture videos are often praised as a great medium of instruction in online education. There is a lack of research, however, that tests whether videos are superior to other teaching tools in online classes. This article examines whether videos are better than lecture notes and still slides in an online introductory political science course. The results show that lecture videos might not be the best tool of instruction for introductory students. Students in the non-video course gave higher evaluations of the instructor and the course and scored higher on exams.
