Can health trainers make a difference with difficult-to-engage clients? A multisite case study
No full textA political attempt in the United Kingdom to address health inequalities in the past decade has been the government’s initiative to employ local health trainers (HTs) or health trainer champions (HTCs) to support disadvantaged individuals with aspects of their health-related behaviors. HT/HTCs provide health-related information and support to individuals with healthy eating, physical activity, and smoking cessation. They undertake community engagement and direct individuals to relevant health services. They differ in that HTs are trained to provide health interventions to individuals or groups and to make referrals to specialist health care services when necessary. This article provides an evaluation of HT/HTCs interventions across three sites, including one prison, one probation service (three teams), and one mental health center. An evaluation framework combining process and outcome measures was employed that used mixed methods to capture data relating to the implementation of the service, including the context of the HT/HTCs interventions, the reactions of their clients, and the outcomes reported. It was found that HT/HTCs interventions were more effective in the prison and mental health center compared with the probation site largely as a result of contextual factors

Reply to Katzir's comment on 'Kelvin and piezoelectricity'
No full textThis is a reply to Shaul Katzir's comment on 'Kelvin and piezoelectricity' (Trainer 2003 Eur. J. Phys. 24 535–42). The author gives further support to his belief that Kelvin was instrumental in helping to establish the science of piezoelectricity. Kelvin's instruments played an important role in its discovery and his theory on pyroelectricity, a phenomenon closely connected to piezoelectricity, served as a basis for developing the theory of piezoelectricity. In support of this, the author has included extracts from the scientific writings of J J Thomson (Nobel prize for physics, 1906) in 1914
The Global Predicament: the way out
No full textMost "green" thought and action fails to grasp that this society involves levels of resource consumption and environmental impact that are far beyond those that can be sustained or spread to all people. Technical advance and reforms within consumer-capitalist society cannot solve the problems; this will be illustrated by reference to greenhouse and energy problems. Although present levels of consumption are grossly unsustainable, the supreme priority is economic growth, i.e. to raise them without limit. In addition a system based on free market principles cannot be just. Rich world affluence would not be possible if wealth was not being transferred from poor countries. The only way out of the alarming global situation is via transition to some kind of Simpler Way, which is unlikely to be taken. Implications for bringing about such a transition will be indicated.</jats:p
Trainer talk: levels of intervention
No full textThis article aims to present examples of trainer talk that scaffold trainee
teachers’ understanding of teaching in a post-observation feedback session.
Previous research into scaffolding in a teacher training context describes
scaffolding at a technique or strategy level, without describing how, in
linguistic terms, the trainer can support and guide the construction of
teaching knowledge. Data from this research into talk with trainees in
post-observation feedback sessions suggest that there are various levels
of trainer scaffolding which may vary from moment to moment in the
interaction between trainer and trainee. The article concludes that it is
necessary to be aware of specific talk which can scaffold at these levels, and
the author offers a possible framework for scaffolding talk

Harmonization of Training Content and Trainer Qualification: Developing Train-the-Trainer Workshop for Continental Corporation
No full textThe main purpose of this study was to optimize trainer education by elaborating a “Train the Trainer” Workshop that will help to produce a cadre of qualified internal trainers in the organization. Further basic concepts were considered in the theoretical chapter of this thesis in order to assure fundamental foundation for the empirical part: organizational Training, the Scope of Training, Development, Learning and Learning principles, Training Process, Train-the-Trainer. As the theoretical frame competency based approach to trainer education was chosen. Remarkably, findings from both private and public sector research, especially on such central topic as “Training Process”, were examined, critically analyzed and incorporated into our “Train the Trainer” Workshop.
In the empirical part the concept and content of “Train the Trainer” Workshop developed by the author of this paper is presented. This Workshop could be itself considered as the main empirical finding within the limits of this thesis. The second most critical empirical finding is that building the structure of our Workshop based on Training Process steps model helps to bring in clear logical structure, which is one of the crucial learning principles. There is also another effect: being taught the Training Process based on their company’s specific model, future trainers are automatically inspired to be consistent with internal requirements for the Training Process established in the organization. The third finding is that we discovered the ways to incorporate competency based approach in our Workshop (in detail discussed in the paragraph “The main findings”). We suggest that all of these findings could be applicable not only to the “Train the Trainer” Workshop for Continental, but also to other organizations, namely all kinds of organizations (private, public, NGOs etc.).
In the final part of our thesis next steps for the “Train the Trainer” Workshop and their meaning for the organization as well as directions for further research are suggested.fi=Opinnäytetyö kokotekstinä PDF-muodossa.|en=Thesis fulltext in PDF format.|sv=Lärdomsprov tillgängligt som fulltext i PDF-format
