Abstract: | Bristol Polytechnic has run a formal in-service training course for new staff since 1973. During this period a number of changes have taken place in the philosophy and detail of the course which now has four broad components: 'assessment'; 'setting objectives'; 'learning activities, materials and methods'; and 'evaluation'. The rationale for these changes is explained in terms of a reappraisal of the perceived needs of new members of staff, and the characteristics of the approach are outlined along with details of the programme. A discussion section includes data from the interim and final evaluations of the programme by the course members. In a series of appendices, examples of exercises and activities drawn from the four broad areas of the programme are reproduced. |
