Increasingly, clinicians and clinical educators are using simulation-based education (SBE) as a valued educational modality within healthcare organizations. Typically, these facilitators have minimal time to dedicate uninterrupted formal development. To enhance effective use of SBE, need learner centered opportunities that promote the development sustainment expert SBE skills, knowledge, attitu...

This paper describes an architecture of Intelligent Multimedia Tutoring System, called IMTS, which provides an environment that facilitates students to learn the course of Data Structure in a context. Three main teaching strategies on the basis of cognitive apprenticeship are discussed, which are program generation strategy, program completion strategy and program understanding strategy. To gen...

The integration of spatial data infrastructures (SDI) into the educational work at universities represents a novelty to the e-learning environment. The active component is one of the most important issues in the field of effective learning as shown in the cognitive apprenticeship approach (Collins et al., 1989). Therefore the goal should be to facilitate an environment that gives the student th...

BACKGROUND I have been a clinical tutor for 10 years in Worthing Hospital, UK. During this time I have seen an increased emphasis on classroom teaching, assessments in controlled situations and simulation, rather than on apprenticeship learning during well-supervised clinical working. CONTEXT At the educational conference on 'Learning without Leaving the Workplace' hosted by my hospital, I ha...

This paper develops a generalized apprenticeship learning protocol for reinforcementlearning agents with access to a teacher who provides policy traces (transition and reward observations). We characterize sufficient conditions of the underlying models for efficient apprenticeship learning and link this criteria to two established learnability classes (KWIK and Mistake Bound). We then construct...

Recent initiatives, such as Apprenticeship 2000 and the Department of Labor report Work-Based Training (1989), have urged a reexamination of apprenticeship training in the United States in order to bridge the skill needs of noncollege-bound youths. Much of this renewed focus has been inspired by the successful experience with apprenticeships in Germany. While there is much to learn from the Ger...

Despite growing support for supervision after task sharing trainings in humanitarian settings, there is limited research on the experience of trainees in apprenticeship and other supervision approaches. Studying apprenticeships from trainees' perspectives is crucial to refine supervision and enhance motivation for service implementation. The authors implemented a multi-stage, transcultural adap...
