Exploring metacompetence in child welfare simulation training: toward a holistic model

ABSTRACT Holistic competence involves two distinct constructs: procedural competencies and metacompetencies A framework developed by Tufford and colleagues (2017), suggests four domains of metacompetence: skills in action, deepened perspectives on diversity, managing affective intensity in the moment, and openness to learning. This exploratory evaluation study was guided by the research question, in what ways does Illinois child welfare simulation training address the four domains of metacompetence? Findings indicted that relevant knowledge and skill development for each domain are supported in the training. More nuanced evaluation could better assess procedural and metacompetence and more fully operationalize holistic competence for child welfare professionals.

A Brief Analysis of Good Argumentation

This book aims to guide us in building good argumentative skills, enhancing our personal thinking and action skills, and enabling us to find a more advantageous position in both social and professional settings. In legal negotiations, good argumentation plays a crucial role.

Parent-child sensorimotor coordination in toddlers with and without hearing loss.

Infants experience the world through their actions with objects and their interactions with other people, especially their parents. Prior research has shown that school-age children with hearing loss experience poorer quality interactions with typically hearing parents, yet little is known about parent-child interactions between toddlers with hearing loss and their parents early in life. In the current study, we used mobile eye-tracking to investigate parent-child interactions in toddlers with and without hearing loss (mean ages: 19.42 months, SD = 3.41 months). Parents and toddlers engaged in a goal-directed, interactive task that involved inserting coins into a slot and required joint coordination between the parent and the child. Overall, findings revealed that deaf toddlers demonstrate typical action skills in line with their hearing peers and engage in similar interactions with their parents during social interactions. Findings also revealed that deaf toddlers explored objects more and showed more temporal stability in their motor movements (i.e. less variation in their timing across trials) than hearing peers, suggesting further adaptability of the deaf group to their atypical sensory environment rather than poorer coordination. In contrast to previous research, findings suggest an intact ability of deaf toddlers to coordinate their actions with their parents and highlight the adaptability within dyads who have atypical sensory experiences.

PENERAPAN MODEL 3 CM LEARNING BERBANTUAN MEDIA KONKRET UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN BERPIKIR KRITIS DAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA

Conditions at SD N 02 Bringin show low critical thinking skills which have an impact on low student learning outcomes in grade 5 mathematics learning. This is due to the lack of teacher variation in using appropriate learning models so that learning is less attractive to students' curiosity. Based on these conditions, researchers conducted research that aimed to describe the syntax of the 3 CM learning model Learning and with this model it can improve critical thinking skills and mathematics learning outcomes of 5th grade students of SD N Bringin 02. The results showed that critical thinking skills in action I got an average of 76% with the critical category, in action II the average critical thinking skills increased to 88% with very critical category. For learning outcomes in action I as many as 11 students with a percentage of 46% have received a complete score, and as many as 13 students with a percentage of 54% have not completed. In action II there was an increase, 21 students with a percentage of 87% were declared complete and the remaining 3 students with a percentage of 13% were declared incomplete. Based on the results of research conducted at SD Negeri Bringin 02 for grade 5 by applying the 3 CM model Learning assisted by concrete media, especially in mathematics, is proven to be able to improve critical thinking skills and student learning outcomes

Ortak ve İşbirliğine Dayalı Eylem Bağlamında İletişim Sistemlerinin Gelişimi

Communication is a focal point in studies of joint action, where collective cognitive activity required (Sebanz and Knoblich, 2006). In this study, a virtual experimental environment was utilized where participants’ communication was restricted to text messaging interface with a limited set of letters and symbols. In eight experimental sessions, similar but different joint action tasks were given; each couple improved their joint action skills and developed their own private communication systems. Analysis shows, in addition to several quantitative parameters, trends of diminishing use ratio of directive speech acts and increasing use ratio of assertive speech acts had been observed which are claimed to be characteristics of development of a mature and effective communication system and cognitive mechanisms of joint action.

Supporting Clinical Competencies in Men's Mental Health Using the Men in Mind Practitioner Training Program: User Experience Study.

Engaging men in psychotherapy is essential in male suicide prevention efforts, yet to date, efforts to upskill mental health practitioners in delivering gender-sensitized therapy for men have been lacking. To address this, we developed Men in Mind, an e-learning training program designed to upskill mental health practitioners in engaging men in therapy. This study involves an in-depth analysis of the user experience of the Men in Mind intervention, assessed as part of a randomized controlled trial of the efficacy of the intervention. Following completion of the intervention, participants provided qualitative (n=392) and quantitative (n=395) user experience feedback, focused on successes and suggested improvements to the intervention and improvements to their confidence in delivering therapy with specific subpopulations of male clients. We also assessed practitioner learning goals (n=242) and explored the extent to which participants had achieved these goals at follow-up. Participants valued the inclusion of video demonstrations of skills in action alongside the range of evidence-based content dedicated to improving their insight into the engagement of men in therapy. Suggested improvements most commonly reflected the desire for more or more diverse content, alongside the necessary adaptations to improve the learning and user experience. Participants also commonly reported improved confidence in assisting men with difficulty articulating their emotions in therapy and suicidal men. The evidence obtained from this study aids in plans to scale Men in Mind and informs the future development of practitioner training interventions in men's mental health.

Effect of Virtual Reality Simulation: “Urinary Catheterization Skills” on Nursing Students’ Self-Confidence

Confidence is essential for nursing students in producing better practice of nursing action skills, so this needs to be supported by good learning media. One of the learning media currently developing is virtual reality simulation, an interactive learning media based on immersive technology that combines real space (reality) with virtual space (virtual). This study aimed to analyze the effect of virtual reality simulation in urinary catheterization on the self-confidence of nursing students. This study used a pre-experiment design with a one-group pretest-posttest design approach. Self-confidence was measured using The Confidence Scale questionnaire, consisting of five items. The sampling technique uses a purposive sampling technique with a minimum total sample is 49 students. The data collected were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The result showed an increase in the mean value in the post-test results (21.65) compared to the pretest results (16.98), with an average increase of 4.67 points. The statistical test results showed a significant difference after using virtual reality simulation on nursing students' confidence (p <0.05). So, virtual reality simulation is a learning media that influences nursing students' confidence in performing urinary catheterization skills.

The Mediation of Music in the Development of Intrapersonal and Action Skills in Early Teacher Education

Soft skills enable the individual to successfully face the problems and challenges of a complex society in constant flux and under constant uncertainty. Music, in its different forms of expression, is presented as an ideal tool for the development of intrapersonal and action skills such as adaptability, optimism and proactivity. On the basis of a project carried out by and for future teachers, qualitative research based on a case study has been carried out. Data collection: questionnaires, observations, student productions and interviews. The results reveal that music can be a mediating element for the development of soft skills. Specifically, it has been observed that music can help the individual to face and effectively resolve changing and novel situations that require self-efficacy, self-confidence and social support. Music can also improve the physical and socio-emotional well-being of individuals as well as helping them successfully face adversity.

Why a dynamic multicomponential model of decision making: some milestones and a preliminary tool

Why is it necessary today to propose a new tool to evaluate decision-making skills? The neuroscientific approach proposed in this paper constitutes a new frontier for grasping the multi-component nature of the decision-maker’s thought and action skills, using an innovative tool, through a modular methodology (5 domains that characterize the decision-making process: style, strategy, efficacy, awareness and metacognition), a multimethodological approach (through tasks, tests and self-report measures, in addition to the neurophysiological level) and a digitized format, thus restoring a 360-degree perspective on the potential of making decisions in real-life contexts. DassDec - Decisional Assessment for Decision-making- sets out to do all of this.

Political Considerations in Implementing Initiatives to Improve the Mental Well-Being of Employees in the Workplace

Relatively recently governments have begun to show some of the leadership required to incorporate well-being within their calculations about work-related behaviour. This is important not only for fulfilling our individual potential, but also in signalling recognition of the central role of well-being – both physical and psychological – within equations about productivity and performance. This article considers notable national examples of good practice from Denmark, UK and Canada, as well as highlighting a range of organisational factors that help explain slow progress within workplaces, even when government-level support for improving mental well-being of employees already exists. Such organisational factors include political considerations and so this paper shines a spotlight on organisational politics surrounding mental well-being at work. In this way, I describe the potential for practitioners in occupational psychology, health and well-being roles and in human resources to develop further and utilise positive political skills to facilitate positive change. Furthermore, examples of political skills in action at all levels of an organisation are considered, ranging from harnessing the active commitment of senior management teams, to campaigning for appropriate training for middle managers, as well as raising awareness of mental health across all employees in the workplace. There is great potential for positive economic as well as individual health outcomes where organisations give far greater priority to psychological health than previously. The emergence of research-based guidance to improve psychological health at work, as well as recent commitment by some governments around the world to well-being priorities, has signposted new directions for mental well-being in the workplace. What remains concerning is that uptake of such guidance varies and its implementation often lags behind awareness. This paper considers a range of readily applicable and cost-effective organisational strategies which can be championed by practitioners for improving the mental well-being of the workforce, while it also makes explicit the role of political behaviour in seeking improvements to psychosocial aspects of the workplace.

Legal Instructional Design by Deep Learning Theory Under the Background of Educational Psychology.

This work aims to reform legal teaching in Colleges and Universities (CAUs) and improve law students’ comprehensive quality. In the context of Educational Psychology (EPSY) research, Deep Learning (DL) theory is integrated into legal instructional design (ID). Following a theoretical review of EPSY and DL, the current situation and problems of college legal teaching are understood based on the Law School in a University in Shanghai through auditing, communication, and investigation methods. The theoretical research results are integrated into the ID. The teaching content is divided into language information module, wisdom skills module, cognitive module, action skills module, and attitude module. Each module is divided into three teaching methods, and all teaching methods are combined into the proposed legal ID. Finally, the proposed legal ID is applied in the legal classroom of the Law School in a University in Shanghai. Overall, seventy students are recruited and grouped into Class A (experimental group) and Class B (control group). Class A uses the proposed legal ID, and Class B does not. The scores of Classes A and B are compared. After a semester, the average score of Class A has increased from 68 to 71.11 points. The covariance has decreased from 61.66 to 51.42. When the confidence level is set to 0.95, the confidence interval of class A has increased from 65.26–70.74 to 68.62–73.61. By comparison, the average score of Class B dropped from 68.14 to 68.11 points. The covariance has decreased from 60.24 to 41.76. When the confidence level is set to 0.95, the confidence interval of class B has changed from 65.44–70.85 to 65.86–70.37, without significant improvement. Therefore, the proposed legal ID based on DL theory is scientific and effective. This work has certain reference significance for optimizing the ID of CAUs and improving the comprehensive quality of college-student talents.

Invariant-Based World Models for Robust Robotic Systems Demonstrated on an Autonomous Football Table

This work explains the use of invariants in robotic perception and control skills. An “invariant” is a mathematical constraint that remains unchanged under a particular transformation in a system. This property makes robotic functionalities more robust against “disturbances” that cause these transformation. These invariants are stored in a world model (WM), which has a central role in the information architecture of the robot to share information between components. A “robotic” football table serves as an example to illustrate the effectiveness of invariants. Despite looking different, all standard football tables satisfy the same set of invariants; the common layout of the field, line markings and puppets, which are not identical but satisfy the same set of constraints, such as parallelism, partial ordering, and relative colour and intensity differences between objects. During initialization, the invariants are actively identified and saved to the world model. During game play this world model is used by the perception and action skills and is updated when necessary. This work shows how the use of invariants creates robustness against variation in placement of the perception system and against variation in table dimensions and colours. When the camera is misaligned or moved mid-play, the world model is updated to ensure a smooth continuation of the game. The approach is tested on three standard football tables, with different dimensions and colours, showing that the approach is robust on standard tables that adhere to the invariants.

Exploring children’s participation in the framework of early childhood environmental education

ABSTRACT The paper explores the participation experiences that a nursery school gained through its involvement in an environmental education program that focused on the transformation of the school ground. The research took place in a nursery school in Greece, in which 15 preschool children aged 4 years old and their teacher were engaged in participatory action research. The research emphasizes the rights and abilities of young children as equal participants, solution seekers, problem solvers and initiators of action on authentic issues of their everyday environment. The research was based on a combination of action research and participatory planning methods. The findings of the research highlight the ability of young children to express their ideas and practice critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration skills. When the teachers decided to withdraw their authority, the whole nursery school practiced democratic dialogue and action skills. New participation experiences took place for both children and adults.

744 Integrative Nursing framework in Burn ICU

IntroductionPatient and staff experiences are enhanced through a holistic and relationship-based approach of care. An integrative nursing (IN) framework was created utilizing various therapeutic modalities to augment healing for patients. Additionally, staff RNs were encouraged to utilize some IN modalities to aid in their own well-being. In 2019, the Burn ICU (BICU) was selected as one of five pilot units in the hospital to implement the IN framework. Post-implementation, staff were surveyed on their attitudes regarding the IN framework.MethodsThe IN framework was created utilizing the IN principles and hospital policies. Two selected RN champions promoted this framework for staff and patients. In the BICU, over 95% of the RNs completed all five IN training modules: IN in Action, Acupressure, Clinical Massage, Aromatherapy, and Mind-Body skills. BICU was stocked with supplies, not limited to aromatherapy products, breathing ball, and massager chair. Additional resources were added including virtual reality (VR) and spiritual care. RNs documented interventions for pain/stress, anxiety/sleep, and nausea in the patient record. Post implementation, a self-report survey by RNs was utilized evaluated the IN framework.ResultsA total of 27 surveys were collected from 29 available RNs. Aromatherapy, VR, therapeutic touch were the most utilized patient modalities, while staff mostly utilized the massage chair, aromatherapy, and deep tissue massager. Lack of time and personal discomfort were the highest reported barriers to utilization of the IN modalities.ConclusionsCreating and implementing an IN framework is achievable and can assist with improving patient and staff experiences in the hospital. Most staff and patients who utilized IN tools believed it provided benefits. Addition of IN modalities is the next step in providing patients with holistic care that treats not only the physical wounds but the whole patient.
