THE HUMAN SERVICE PROVIDER COMPETENCE ABOUT REPORTING VIOLENCE ON WOMEN WITH DISABILITY SCALE: DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION

Chowdhury, Dalia 01 December 2015 (has links)
Statistics about violence experienced by women with disabilities are alarming, and yet, the reporting of this specific form of violence is neglected. Previous research indicates that though interpersonal violence affects women with disabilities like a hidden “epidemic”, the phenomenon is severely underreported. Women with disabilities frequently come in contact with human service providers; however, provider-based prejudice coupled with lack of education about women’s issues result in failing to screen for violence, or error in reporting. This study focused on measuring disability service providers’ competence in understanding and reporting interpersonal violence as experienced by women with disabilities. The objective of this study was to develop a self-assessment instrument to quantify service providers’ expertise in understanding, screening and reporting of interpersonal violence as experienced by women with disabilities. Data were collected in two phases. In the first phase, for the pilot study, data were acquired from 15 expert members; in the second phase, for the main study, data were obtained from 203 Masters level human service providers. Once collected, data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis with Promax rotation to establish validity. The instrument thus generated was designated as SPCV-WD (Human Service Provider Competence about reporting Violence on Women with Disability scale), and it comprised of four factors (perception, training, screening and reporting, and awareness). These four factors loaded on 40 items, with an overall Cronbach’s alpha value of .833, explaining 45% of the total variance. Four dimensions of competency were identified from the qualitative data collected through the comments of participating service providers in the main study: absence of training, learning from personal interest, necessity of addressing violence, relevance of addressing abuse. This scale can be considered a reliable and valid measure to evaluate service provider competence in understanding and reporting violence as experienced by women with disabilities. It has the potential to be used for intervention and reform in academic and professional training pertaining to interpersonal violence. As this was an initial, exploratory study, future studies are essential to verify and confirm the factor structure and the psychometric properties of SPCV-WD. Keywords: instrument development, competence measurement, violence, women with disabilities, human service providers

Messen von Kompetenzen im Persönlichen Wissensmanagement

Wittich, Anke 29 May 2012 (has links)
Der zielorientierte Umgang mit Wissen bildet eine zentrale Herausforderung für Unternehmen und deren Mitarbeiter. Deren Kompetenzentwicklung ist für die Unternehmen unter dem Aspekt der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit ein lohnendes Ziel. Diese Arbeit stellt ein Werkzeug zur Messung von Kompetenzen im Persönlichen Wissensmanagement vor. Auf einer Literaturstudie basierend wurde ein Kompe-tenzkatalog erstellt und mit Hilfe einer Befragung von Fachleuten aus dem Berei-chen Informations- und Wissensmanagement validiert. Dieser Kompetenzkatalog findet Eingang in einen Referenzrahmen für Kompetenzen für Persönliches Wis-sensmanagement. Zur Bestimmung der Niveaustufen Experte, Könner und Kenner im Persönlichen Wissensmanagement wurde ein Messwerkzeug erarbeitet und anhand von zwei Gruppen auf Gültigkeit überprüft. Die eine Gruppe bestand aus Mitarbeitern Ex-zellenter Wissensorganisationen, die andere aus interessierten Mitarbeitern aus nicht-explizit wissensorientierten Unternehmen. Es konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass beide Gruppen in acht Einzelkompetenzen signifikante Unterschiede besa-ßen. Auch für weitere Kompetenzen konnten Messdimensionen aus den Rück-meldungen der Umfrage hergeleitet werden. In einigen Fällen allerdings konnten die Niveaustufen Könner und Kenner nicht unterschieden werden. / The target-oriented intercourse with knowledge is a central challenge for compa-nies and their employees. With the aspect of competitiveness, a rewarding aim for the companies is to work on their skill development. This paper introduces a tool to measure the skills in personal knowledge management. Based on literature studies, a catalogue of competences was created, which was validated by inter-views with experts in information and knowledge management. The catalogue of competences conforms to a reference framework for competences for personal knowledge management. Measuring tools for the determination of the levels of expert, master and initiate in personal knowledge management were developed and their validity was checked on the basis of two groups. The first group was composed of employees of “Exzellenter Wissensorganisation”, the other group was composed of interested employees of companies with no explicit orientation for information and knowledge management. It was possible to verify that both groups showed signif-icant differences in eight single skills. Even for other skills dimensions of meas-urement could be deduced from the interviews. In some cases the levels of master and initiate could not be distinguished.

Entwicklung beruflicher Handlungskompetenz in der gärtnerischen Berufsausbildung durch die Anwendung des Lernfeldkonzepts

Haß, Detlef 01 November 2016 (has links)
Im Rahmen eines Dissertationsvorhabens am Albrecht Daniel Thaer-Institut für Agrar- und Gartenbauwissenschaften der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin wurde die „Entwicklung beruflicher Handlungskompetenz in der gärtnerischen Berufsausbildung durch die Anwendung des Lernfeldkonzepts“ untersucht und in einem pädagogischen Unterrichtsexperiment an gartenbaulichen Berufsschulen in sechs Bundesländern durchgeführt. Damit eine durchgängige Kompetenz- und Outcome-Orientierung Berücksichtigung finden kann, erweiterte der Autor die Untersuchung zur Kompetenzentwicklung um die Aspekte Kompetenzmessung und Kompetenzbewertung. Basierend auf einer Arbeitsprozessanalyse zum Ausbildungsberuf Gärtner der Fachrichtung Garten- und Landschaftsbau wurden im Dialog mit dem Berufsstand Kriterien und Indikatoren beruflicher Handlungskompetenz von Landschaftsgärtnern definiert sowie berufliche Handlungsfelder (Tätigkeitsfelder) gebildet, aus denen Lernfelder abgeleitet und ein lernfeldstrukturierten Rahmenlehrplan für den berufsbezogenen Unterricht der Berufsschule konzipiert werden konnte. So war es möglich, handlungs- und kompetenzorientierte Lernaufgaben für den Berufsschulunterricht zu entwickeln, die sich an berufstypischen Arbeitssituationen orientieren. Durch die Bearbeitung dieser Lernaufgaben wurden bei den Versuchspersonen didaktisch begründete Lernhandlungen ausgelöst und angestrebte Kompetenzen entwickelt, die mittels eines standardisierten Bewertungsbogens durch Beobachtung (Fremdeinschätzung) und Befragung (Selbsteinschätzung) gemessen werden konnten. Die Bewertung ausgeprägter Kompetenzen erfolgte durch den Einsatz eines outcome-orientierten Abschlusstests „Virtuelle Kleinbaustelle“. Diese schriftliche Mehrfach-Situations-Aufgabe wurde nach Maßgabe eines systematischen Bewertungsrahmens unter Berücksichtigung der Anschlussfähigkeit an DQR und EQR ausgewertet, sodass auf den Erwerb beruflicher Handlungskompetenz in der Ausbildung zum Landschaftsgärtner geschlossen werden kann. / Within a PhD project at the Albrecht Daniel Thaer-Institute for Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin the “development of vocational action competencies regarding the training of gardeners based on the application of the concept of domains of learning” was studied in a teaching experiment at six horticultural vocational schools in six German states. To allow for a consistent focus on competencies and outcome, aspects of competencies measurement and competencies evaluation were included in the study of competency development. Based on an analysis of work processes in occupational training of landscape gardeners, criteria and indicators of vocational action competencies in this field were defined in collaboration with the gardening profession; furthermore, vocational fields of activities were developed. On their basis “domains of learning” (“Lernfelder”) could be derived and accordingly a framework curriculum could be developed for vocational lessons at vocational schools. In this manner it was possible to develop activity- and competence oriented learning tasks for lessons at vocational schools. These learning tasks focus on typical work situations in landscape gardening. When the test persons performed these learning tasks, didactically meaningful learning activities were initiated and the test persons developed the desired competencies. These competencies were measured by means of a standardized evaluation form by observation (external evaluation) and questioning (self-evaluation). The evaluation of profound competencies was carried out using an outcome-oriented final examination tool “small virtual building site”. This written multi-situation task was evaluated according to a systematic evaluation frame under consideration of compatibility with GQF and EQF, so that conclusions can be drawn regarding the acquisition of vocational action competencies during the training for landscape gardener.
