BACKGROUND Recent global mental health research suggests that mental health interventions can be adapted for use across cultures and in low resource environments. As evidence for the feasibility and effectiveness of certain specific interventions begins to accumulate, guidelines are needed for how to train, supervise, and ideally sustain mental health treatment delivery by local providers in lo...

With successive changes to apprenticeship policy, shifting emphasis on the amount of involvement employers in engaging and delivering apprenticeship, an over-reliance further education fill gaps midst its own storm, this article explores successful ingredients for employer engagement vocational formation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with apprentices from five business automotive i...

background: clinical training is an important part of the training courses of medicine during which students learn how to face the patients, diagnose the diseases and treat the patients. alongside clinical apprenticeship, related theoretical courses are presented so that the most training possible is covered. in the past the theoretical courses of pediatrics ward of birjand university of medica...

Abstract A preliminary sample of contracts of apprenticeship from three periods in the history of early modern Venice is analysed, as recorded in the archive of the Giustizia Vecchia, a Venetian magistracy. The periods are the end of the 16th century, the 20s and the 50s of the 17th. First, the variety of professions represented in the dataset reduces over time, as the proportion of Venetian ap...

Robots are typically far less capable in autonomous mode than in tele-operated mode. The few exceptions tend to stem from long days (and more oftenweeks, or even years) of expert engineering for a specific robot and its operatingenvironment. Current control methodology is quite slow and labor intensive. I be-lieve advances in machine learning have the potential to revolutionize ...

BACKGROUND The detection of adenomatous lesions is a major indicator for quality and competence in colonoscopy. Little is known about adenoma detection rates (ADR) of endoscopy trainees. The aim of our study was to investigate the performance of trainee colonoscopists in detecting adenomas and to depict the shape of adenoma detection learning curves during apprenticeship. METHODS We retrospec...

Instructional planning is an essential professional activity often used by teachers. However, some characteristics of existing university-based teacher education programs may hamper pre-service teachers’ learning of instructional planning. Thus, this study adopts the cognitive apprenticeship as a theoretical foundation to construct a web-based learning model that integrates expert teachers and ...

This paper addresses the problem of apprenticeship learning, that is learning control policies from demonstration by an expert. An efficient framework for it is inverse reinforcement learning (IRL). Based on the assumption that the expert maximizes a utility function, IRL aims at learning the underlying reward from example trajectories. Many IRL algorithms assume that the reward function is lin...

Online communities for sharing instructional content have grown from a renewed interest in DIY culture. However, it is difficult to convey the tacit knowledge implicit in certain skills. We identify the need for Digital Apprenticeship, where workshop activities are sensed and analyzed for both quantitative and qualitative measures. We evaluated this concept with an activity recognition system f...

Interpreting the student’s actions and inferring the student’s solution plan during problem solving is one of the main challenges of tutoring based on cognitive apprenticeship, especially in domains with large solution spaces. We present a student modeling framework that performs probabilistic plan recognition by integrating in a Bayesian network knowledge about the available plans and their st...
