Abstract:
Simulation is a frequently used method for training students in health care professions and has recently gained acceptance in acute care hospital settings for use in educational programs and competency testing. Although hospital-based simulation is currently limited primarily to use in skills acquisition, expansion of the use of simulation via a modified Quality Health Outcomes Model to address systems factors such as the physical environment and human factors such as fatigue, reliance on memory, and reliance on vigilance could drive system-wide changes. Simulation is an expensive resource and

Abstract:
The core tenet of competency-based education is a focus on mastery of a skill or ability. The shift in focus in social work education to a competency-based approach can be applied and understood in varying ways. The current research study examined the use of waiver exams as one iteration of competency-based education in social work education. Forty seven of the 496 programs that replied to the survey indicated they offered some form of placement testing or the use of waiver exams. Further examination of program level policies suggests that social work educators continue to focus on policies an

Abstract:
In the last decade, the German transition system has witnessed the large‐scale introduction of so‐called “analysis of potentials” (<em>Potenzialanalysen</em>) in secondary compulsory schooling. In most German Länder, 8th graders must participate in a two‐day assessment center which combines psychometric testing with observations of their social and professional competencies in pre‐specified tasks. The programmatic aim of these assessments is to “introduce pupils early to choosing a job” (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung [BMBF], 2017, p. 2) as well as to enhance the prope

In particular, there is a move from contents-based learning to outcomes-based learning. It has been shown that technical education is becoming more and more expensive. Manual skills and the teaching of these at school is therefore still of cardinal importance. In the technical school the learner receives specialised training.

This study examined the nature and extent of relations between Management of Technology [MOT] and cost management. It explores the roles of competencies and competency measurement in these relations and its associations with company performance. The problem statement asks how the MOT community deals with cost management, whether MOT-based cost management competencies can be isolated and measured, whether a tool for measurement can be created, tested and validated and indeed whether it can be used to assess relations between MOT-based cost management competencies and company performance.

Abstract:
In an attempt to analyze the reliability and validity of the most frequently used oral certification exams for court interpreters in the United States, this chapter examines the basic test model used for state-level certification through the lens of concepts in testing theory. Having identified several limitations to the currently used performance-based model, a hybrid model which includes competency-based education and assessment is proposed. By building on best practices in competency-based education, the alternative credentialing paradigm proposed here would represent an innovation in the context of court interpreter certification in the United States, requiring the transfer of assessment criteria usually used in traditional educational contexts into the realm of professional training. The proposed hybrid model would necessitate a shift from one high-stakes exam to assessment of a series of compartmentalized competency clusters that would account for soft skills and dispositional traits not currently assessed.

Abstract:
Education is an important human activity. It was born with the birth of the human race and shall continue to function as long as the human race lives. It is an essential for human virtue. Human becomes 'human' through education. It has been rightly said that without education, human is a splendid slave, reasoning savage. Education is fashions and models of human for society. Human cannot be conceived merely in terms of his/her biological existence. Education brings into focus the social aspect of human. It signifies human's supreme position in the society. It brings about the integration of these separate entities. It teaches what human lives and struggles for. It cultivates an integrated life. Education is a sign of superiority. Education is an essential basis of good life. Man/women become a human being in the real sense when he/she is transformed from primarily an animal being into a human being. It improves the value of humanity in the society. This chapter therefore discussed quality concerns for success of vocational education programmes in developing countries. The chapter also presented transactional methodology for teaching the vocational subjects, listed out challenges for effective teachers training, analyzed the need for competency based skill training and evaluated the process of instructional systems design for testing the vocational education teacher's performance.
