The purpose of this study is to discuss the influence of educational training on the individual¡¦s job performance. In terms of educational training, we study the relationship of the different variables such as the level of satisfaction, attainment of personal endowments and practicality in terms of job performance and job devotion, ability of problem¡Vsolving. In this study, we also confer the effects of ¡§Transactional leadership¡¨ and ¡§Transformational leadership¡¨ as the interference variables. This study includes the staff from Long-term Care institutions on a public-private partnership basis as substantial research subjects. It included 228 valid questionnaires, the research data were analyzed by methods of factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, regression analysis and level regression analysis. Results: 1.Individual¡¦s educational training and job performance has a conspicuous correlation. 2.The hypothesis of different personal attributes will have remarkable differences in the outcomes of educational training and job prformance is partly established. 3.Satisfaction towards the educational training will have positive impacts on the attainment of personal endowments, job devotion and problem-solving capacity. 4.Modal of leadership causes interferential impact on the relationship between the educational training and degree of job devotion.

To meet global market competition and knowledge economy era, enterprise has put accent on developing its own human resource. Many corporations expect to become a learning organization to deal with the situation and, therefore, they have paid much attention to the function of internal education and training for employees. To build an effective employee-training system has become a critical process in enterprise management. However, common routine training activities cannot reach the goal of internal training. To meet the problem, ¡§Corporation University (CU)¡¨ was born. Some international companies have built up their corporation universities which have brought advantages and benefits to organization. The phenomenon has made the concept of CU spread out worldwide. Some native companies followed them to build their CUs. However, it is not sure whether the practical working conditions of native CU can meet the standard of CU. This study takes case study as research methodology and research targets contains two international and four native CUs. In this study, the fundamental background, organizational framework (operation system), operational situation (including components of instructors and learners¡Bcourse planning and content¡Bways to proceed learning course¡Bfund resource and expenditure¡Bevaluation and verification for learning) and working efficiency for each CU were discussed to acquire the whole practice of each CU. Additionally, the related literature was reviewed and CUs were summarized as four types of function levels by past researchers: training and development¡Borganization learning¡Bknowledge management¡Bstrategic management. Moreover, based on the classifications, the research targets are classified and analyzed to explore the reasons why they were built and examine their working efficiency. By examining the research targets with their fundamental backgrounds and operational situations, it is shown that the function levels of native CUs cannot be labeled as ¡§strategic management¡¨ mostly. After surveying the practical operations of four native CUs, several problems are discovered as follows: native corporations build their CUs because of popularization not need; a feasibility study is not conducted before setting up their CUs and the function level of CU is not clear; CU only play a role of extension of internal education and training system for employees; there are some problems for native CUs to work with academy institutions; there is room of improvement in instructors and courses of native CUs; learning resources of CU cannot be acquired by each employees; learning evaluation and verification are not implemented seriously by CU¡¦s executives. Therefore, base on the discovered problems and explored issues, this study provides some specific suggestions for companies who have operated CUs practically and a referable direction for following researchers.

N. Leontiev. Theoretical and literature, our study aimed at investigating the foundations and structure of the "activity theory", developed initially by Vygotsky and Leontiev and systematized by which, nowadays, is taken up by scholars from various fields of humanities, peering, and specifically its relationship with work in Marx (1984, 2004, 2005) and Lukacs (1978, 1981) and their contributions to the project educational / training in contemporary working class. To achieve the proposed objectives, dwelt us about some of the major works of Leontiev (1978a, 1978b, 1980, 1988, 1999) as well as texts / books published by Vygotsky (1988, 1995, 1999, 2000, 2004), Luria (1979, 1988a; 1992), Elkonin (1987, 1988), Davydov (1988) and Shuare (1990), as well as interpreters of Brazilian research on elaborations of Historical-Cultural Psychology, especially the construct of theoretical and practical Leontiev, like Duarte (2004, 2001), Tuleski (2007, 2009), Do Carmo (2008), Barroco (2007a, 2007b), Pasqualini (2006, 2010), Asbarh (2005, 2011), Gonçalves (2005) among others. At the end, we establish general traits that comprise what the author calls "dominant activity," his contributions to the development process of the psyche of the child and the educational process/formation of the working class on the threshold of the XXI century. / A presente pesquisa adotou como objeto de estudo as relações entre trabalho e atividade na psicologia de A. N. Leontiev. De caráter teórico-bibliográfico, nosso estudo procurou investigar os fundamentos e a estrutura da chamada “teoria da atividade”, elaborada inicialmente por Vigotski e sistematizada por Leontiev e que, na atualidade, é retomada por estudiosos dos mais diversos campos das ciências humanas, perscrutando, de modo específico, suas relações com a categoria trabalho em Marx (1984; 2004; 2005) e Lukács (1978; 1981) e suas contribuições ao projeto educativo/formativo classe trabalhadora na contemporaneidade. Para o alcance dos objetivos propostos, debruçamo-nos sobre algumas das principais obras de Leontiev (1978a; 1978b; 1980; 1988; 1999), bem como textos/livros publicados por Vigotski (1988; 1995; 1999; 2000; 2004), Luria (1979; 1988a; 1992), Elkonin (1987; 1988), Davidov (1988) e Shuare (1990), assim como de interpretes brasileiros que pesquisam sobre as elaborações da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, especialmente, o constructo teórico-prático de Leontiev, a exemplo de Duarte (2004; 2001), Tuleski (2007; 2009), Do Carmo (2008), Barroco (2007a; 2007b), Pasqualini (2006; 2010), Asbarh (2005; 2011), Gonçalves (2005) dentre outros.

Uma reflexão sobre a formação educacional integral da criança na Educação Infantil relacionada à necessidade da prática da ética do cuidado no fazer pedagógico nas instituições de Educação Infantil visualizando a formação de um adulto no futuro com construção ética em seu agir pessoal e social. O primeiro capítulo traça um caminho até a ética do cuidado. Para tanto, conceitua ética, distingue ética de moral e apresenta a construção ética e moral da criança na Educação Infantil. Atualmente, percebe-se que o conceito de ética é, por muitos, confundido com o conceito de moral. Entender que moral é parte da ética, e que ética é a conduta de comportamento que engloba não só a moral, como também, as virtudes e os valores, é um dos focos neste capítulo. Diante da compreensão do que é ética e do que é moral, busca-se o entendimento sobre ética do cuidado, onde apresenta-se seu conceito e suas vertentes: natural e essencial. Finaliza-se, desvelando a construção ética e moral da criança na fase da Educação Infantil através de modelos visualizados vivenciados. No segundo capítulo, destaca-se um estudo direcionado especificamente à Educação Infantil. Após seu conceito, o relato de um breve histórico traz à tona o pensar de alguns teóricos que influenciaram a Educação Infantil, como Kohlberg, Montessori, Pestalozzi, Vygotsky, Piaget, entre outros. Em seguida diferencia-se cuidar de educar, estabelecendo o papel de cuidar na Educação Infantil, a necessidade de um educador com formação adequada para atuar na Educação Infantil, consciente do seu papel e da importância do lúdico para o cuidar e o brincar nesta fase, bem como, o papel da família na formação educacional da criança. No terceiro capítulo é dada ênfase aos Referenciais Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação Infantil. Após apresentação dos referenciais, é direcionado um estudo sobre os conceitos presentes nos referenciais sobre o que se apresenta quanto à filosofia da educação, cuidar, ética, ética do cuidado, o perfil desejado para o docente da Educação Infantil e da família presente na Educação Infantil. Por fim, o quarto capítulo propõe, a partir dos estudos visualizados nos capítulos anteriores, sugestões para o fazer na Educação Infantil voltado à prática da ética do cuidado, natural por obrigação, e essencial, por necessidade de sua importância para a formação educacional integral da criança na Educação Infantil, oportunizando a construção de um novo adulto no futuro, agindo também de acordo com sua formação ética. / A reflection on the educational development of children in Early Childhood Education related to the need to practice the ethics of care in making teaching in institutions of kindergarten viewing the formation of an adult in the future with building ethics into their personal and social action. The first chapter gives way to an ethics of care. To that end, considers ethical, moral and ethical distinction has ethical and moral construction of the child in kindergarten. Currently, it is clear that the concept of ethics is, by many, confused with the concept of morality. Understanding that is part of moral ethics, and ethical conduct is behavior that includes not only moral, but also the virtues and values, is one of the focuses in this chapter. Given the understanding of what is ethical and what is moral, we seek to understand the ethics of care, which presents its concept and its forms: natural and essential. Ends up, revealing the moral and ethical construction phase of the child in kindergarten through models displayed experienced. In the second chapter, there is a study directed specifically to children's education. After his concept, the story of a brief history brings out the thinking of some theorists who influenced the early childhood education, and Kohlberg, Montessori, Pestalozzi, Vygotsky, Piaget, among others. Then differentiates to educate caring, establishing the role of caring in children's education, the need for a properly trained teacher to work in Early Childhood Education, aware of its role and importance of caring for the play and play at this stage as well as the family's role in educational attainment of children. In the third chapter the emphasis is on the National Curricular References for Child Education. After presentation of reference, is directed a study on the concepts found in the references on what is presented on the philosophy of education, care, ethics, ethics of care, the desired profile for the teaching of early childhood education and family from the Early Childhood Education. Finally, the fourth chapter suggests, as viewed from the studies in previous chapters, make suggestions for Childhood Education focused on the ethical practices of care, a natural obligation, and essential, by necessity of its importance to the educational integral child in kindergarten, allowing the construction of a new adult in the future, by acting according to their ethical training.

Denna studie visar en tolkning av begreppet hållbar utveckling samtidigt som den konkretiseras i den specifika fartygsverksamheten. Detta examensarbete skall fungera som underlag till en utbildning som har som syfte att få befälsnivån att arbeta mot en mer hållbar utveckling. I samband med utbildningen är det viktigt att komma ihåg att målet är att öka medvetenheten hos befälsnivån så att risken minimeras för att de fattar dåliga beslut. Målet är även att befälsnivån skall känna att de har bättre verktyg än före utbildningen för att arbeta mot en mer hållbar utveckling. Det är viktigt att befälsnivån får med sig förståelsen för hur de tre dimensionerna ekologi, ekonomi och sociala aspekter hänger samman. Befälsnivån skall ha förståelse för att hållbar utveckling är uppnådd när förbättringar i en dimension också leder till förbättringar i en annan dimension (SOU 2004:104). Befälsnivån skall ansvarfullt inse att den ekologiska bärkraften är viktigast för allt liv och därmed också inse att om exempelvis ekonomisk tillväxt är baserad på en produktion som är mindre miljöanpassad än tidigare alternativ så är utvecklingen inte hållbar. För att få befälsnivån att arbeta mot en mer hållbar utveckling har alla tre dimensioner sina egna drivkrafter som skall uppmärksammas före beslut om förändring. Det ekologiska är givet, då vi är beroende av vår miljö, det sociala kan vara allt från påtryckningar från ledningen till krav från arbetskamrater och kunder. De ekonomiska drivkrafterna kan i sin tur också vara många där styrmedel är det mest framträdande. Det har dock visat sig att exempelvis miljöåtgärder som innebär ekonomisk vinning inte behöver formell styrning. Denna självreglering leder till att verksamheten själv önskar att initiera åtgärder till förmån för hållbar utveckling. I denna studie framhävs därmed också betydelsen av utbildningen och betydelsen av utbildningens innehåll ur en pedagogisk synvinkel. I rapporten påpekas också vikten av att ledningen är den som skall se till att de anställda har rätta verktygen för att genomföra förändringar och utvecklas. Det bör dock noteras att i samband med färskvattenförbrukningens minskning har inte hänsyn tagits till kundernas beteende. En tydligare kartläggning av de olika kundsegmentens vattenförbrukning är en bra framtida studiemöjlighet. För att upprätthålla arbetet mot en mer hållbar utveckling är det av ytterst vikt att en processmodell där utvärdering anses spela en viktig roll finns att tillgå. För minskning av färskvattenförbrukning presenteras en åtgärdsplan samt andra förslag som utbyte av exempelvis duschmunstycken som på längre sikt kan leda till en större minskning av färskvattenförbrukningen. / This study’s main goal is to help the ship management to work towards a more sustainable development by introducing the concept in, for the shipping business, concrete concept. It is also of importance to remember that the goal with this educational training is not to create a perfect person, but to increase the ship management’s awareness to minimize the risk of bad decisions based on lack of knowledge. It is of importance that the ship management increases their knowledge of the significance of the three dimensions ecology, economics and social aspects. The ship management tools for working towards a more sustainable development is hoped to increase by giving them better understanding for the fact that an improvement of one of the dimensions may lead to an improvement of the others (SOU 2004:104). The ship management is meant to realize that the ecological capacity being the most important for life a development cannot be sustainable if the economic growth is less environmentally adjusted than necessary. In working towards a sustainable development it is of great importance that all the dimensions´ driving forces are given attention before making a decision. The ecological dimension is given, us being depended of the environment, the social aspect is anything between the managements demands and customers inquiry. The economical aspects are many, but the different governments’ mean of control may be the most important, although it has been shown that environmental improvements also giving an economical profit are done without external control. This regulation made by the company indicates that the company is willing to make measures towards are more sustainable development. This study will also highlight the pedagogical aspects when teaching about sustainable development. In conclusion the importance of the managements´ devotion to make sure that the employees have the tools to work towards solutions based on sustainable development is found. The importance of making sustainable development concrete by using freshwater consumption as an example is also stated. Finally, to be able to work towards more sustainable development and to uphold the quality it is of great importance that there is a project plan where follow-up and feedback are essential. This study also introduces a package of measure for the freshwater reduction onboard the ships among other recommended measures such as changing the showers mouthpieces. It is of great importance that the measures made will lead to the long-term sustainable development that will be required.

Medication administration errors (MAEs) may lead to adverse drug events, patient morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and increased readmission rates, and may contribute to major financial losses for the health system. MAEs are the most common type of error occurring within the health care setting leading to an estimated 7,000 patient deaths every year. Interventions have been designed to prevent MAEs including education for nurses who administer medications; however, little effort has been made to design systematic educational programs that are based on local needs and contexts. The purpose of this project was to identify internal and external factors related to MAEs at the practice site, develop an education program tailored to the factors contributing to MAEs, and implement the program using a pretest posttest design. The Iowa model was used to guide the project. The 26 nurse participants who responded to an initial survey indicated that nurses felt distractions and interruptions during medication administration, and hesitancy to ask for help or to report medication errors increased MAE risks. After the education program, the pretest and posttest results were analyzed and revealed improvement in knowledge and confidence of medication administration (M = 3.2 pre, M = 3.7 post, p < .05). Open-ended question responses suggested a need for dedicated time for preparation and administration of medications without interruptions. Positive social change is possible as nurses become knowledgeable and confident about medication administration safety and as patients are protected from injury secondary to MAEs.
