In this day and age, there is a need to create a modernised educational system, as well as to preserve and popularise the classical traditions of high art. Thus, it is important to study the problem of shaping professional academic singers in Europe and China. The purpose of this study was to explore the methods of developing the vocal apparatus…

Background: Virtual reality (VR) is becoming increasingly accessible and being utilized in various organizations to meet education and training needs. Despite its potential, research regarding VR applications has focused on measuring the effectiveness of VR programs relative to non-VR programs; consequently, the ways in which VR programs are…

Researchers have studied the efficacy of motivational interviewing over the past 30 years. While it is recognized as a highly effective approach overall, variability in outcomes studies is largely attributed to the extent to which it is implemented with fidelity. MI applications in school have become increasingly popular in the past 10 years, yet…

This article is based on the premise that the international scientific community needs a generic theoretical framework to explain the determinants and mechanisms associated with learning opportunities for trainers in the field of training and development. Therefore, we adapted offer-and-use models for the continuous training of schoolteachers to…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationships between employees' training orientation, organizational support for training and employees' training satisfaction. It also investigates the mediating role of perceived value of training in the relationships. Design/methodology/approach: Based on a literature review on training, the study…

Pyramidal training is an effective model for disseminating behavior analytic skills. However, pyramidal training in research is often conducted in controlled university settings. Further, research that has evaluated the effectiveness of pyramidal training in classroom settings (see Pence et al. 2014) often focuses on improving the use of one…

Context: Vocational education and training (VET) has become a key issue in today's highly dynamic business, technological and economic environment, with a complex diversity of systems within the European Union. This paper aims to study the implementation of dual VET in Spain, focusing on the working conditions of company tutors in the tourism…

Creative thinking is needed to thrive in our fast-changing world. It has been shown that creative thinking skills can be enhanced through training.

There are several effective training packages (e.g., behavioral skills training, video modeling, and self-instruction packages) available to train staff. Despite their efficacy, these training procedures require substantial time or preplanning and resources to create materials. Teach-back, an empirically validated method used in the healthcare…

The welding workforce is facing a deficit of skilled welders, highlighting the need to develop more efficient and effective welding training methods. Virtual reality (VR) technologies have been adopted to create VR welding simulations for educational and training purposes. The purpose of this literature review was to collect and analyze…

Educators and school staff are critical to recognizing and supporting students' mental health, but frequently do not have the training to confidently bring mental health literacy into the classroom or assist students who experience distress. Moreover, few free, easily accessible trainings are available for this audience. Classroom Well-being…

School personnel regularly conduct systematic direct observation (SDO) as part of educational evaluation and intervention progress monitoring.

Thirty-two undergraduate students in education…

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an important skill for healthcare professionals. However, adding POCUS training to medical education can be difficult because ultrasound simulators can be expensive. This study assessed whether an interactive, PowerPoint-based computer tool could be a valid alternative to an entry-level ultrasound simulator for…

Should participation in employee trainings be mandatory or voluntary? This remains an important matter for organizations aiming at fostering employee development. Previous studies have provided mixed evidence about the merits of mandatory or voluntary training participation for transfer of training. One explanation for this is that these studies…

This research investigates the linkage between training evaluation, learning design and training transfer. A new training evaluation model, (i.e., learning-transfer evaluation model [LTEM]), was used to examine its ability to provide evaluative evidence through robust assessments in pre-, post- and delayed assessments. The model was used to…
