Abstract:
“No-one except you and the patient really know what happens when you take him for an interview. You learn from your own mistakes behind the closed door” (Adams & Cook, 1984).Clinical skills in psychiatry are not best acquired in unsupervised practice or in learning by apprenticeship. In the past, it was reported that during the course of their clinical training, students' interviewing skills actually deteriorated rather than improved (Helfer, 1970; Maguire & Rutter, 1976), although recent research suggests that improved training is now having an impact (Davis & Nicholaou, 1992). The methods described below may be employed at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Traditionally, psychiatrists have been actively involved, along with general practitioners, in the provision of communication skills training to undergraduates. In the future, this training will become a continuous process carried out alongside and within other teaching in all specialities (Gushing, 1996). One of the biggest challenges facing medical schools is how to engage and train clinical teachers from a range of specialities in facilitating students in the acquisition of clinical interpersonal skills.

Abstract:
Visual, linguistic, reading, and spelling tests were administered to the same 45 children at the end of kindergarten and of first grade. Normal variation, i.e., diversity not related to pathology, was found in the visual and linguistic skills and was shown to be related to reading and spelling achievement for a sample of suburban children of similar socioeconomic status. Individual differences in three visual skills—selective attention to letter information (RT), memory for a component letter (accuracy), and memory for a whole word (accuracy)—and two linguistic skills—phonemic analysis and vocabulary understanding—were reliable over the first year of formal reading instruction and had concurrent validity in that they were correlated with achievement in word decoding/encoding at the end of kindergarten and of first grade. Of these five skills, phonemic analysis accounted for more variance in achievement (52% to 64%, depending upon achievement measure) than any other single skill. Significantly mote variance in achievement was accounted for when both a visual skill (memory for a sequence) and a linguistic skill (phonemic analysis) were considered than when either alone was at end of first grade. The predictive validity of quantitatively defined “disabilities” (at or more than a standard deviation below the mean) was investigated; disabilities in both visual and linguistic skills at the end of kindergarten were associated with low achievement in word decoding/encoding at the end of first grade. Two pairs of identical twin girls (each co-twin taught by a different teacher) were not mote congruent on several achievement measures than two pairs of unrelated girls, taught by the same teacher and matched to each other and a twin pair on verbal ability and age. Normal variation in acquisition of word decoding/encoding probably results from an interaction between genetic individual differences in cognitive skills and the processes of assimilation and accommodation during environmental transactions proposed by Piaget.

Abstract:
AbstractProject manager’s skills which are the competencies required for successful completion of the project play an important role in the construction industry, therefore acquiring these skills is significant for project success. However, indigenous construction firms compete with their multinational counterparts for the available skilled workforce. The study, therefore, investigates the level of project managers’ skills acquisition in indigenous and multinational construction firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey research and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. One hundred and thirty-three questionnaires (106 indigenous and 27 multinational) were administered to project managers and 106 retrieved and valid for analysis representing 73% response rate. The techniques for analysing the data are mean score and t-test. The study revealed that the most important skill type as perceived by project managers is a technical skill and there is no significant difference in the level of skill acquisition by project managers in indigenous and multinational construction firms. Hence, the study concludes that the categorisation of construction firms has no effect on the level of skills acquisition by project managers; therefore, it plays no role in project managers’ skills acquisition. Project managers should strive towards developing themselves through training for improved performance and for successful completion of construction projects.

Abstract This study evaluated the effectiveness of a classroom based training in teaching social skills to four adolescent females between the ages of 13–17 years old and residing in foster care. The training took place over a three week period, one night a week, for three hours at a time and utilized a Behavioral Skills Training format. The assessments were conducted via role play scenarios; pre- and posttraining. The results show each participant demonstrated an overall increase in skills from pretraining to posttraining indicating that youth in foster care were capable of learning the skills taught.

Abstract:
Die Interaktion zwischen Maschinen und ihrer Umgebung sollte zuverlässig, sicher und ökologisch adequat sein. Um das in komplexen Szenarien langfristig zu gewährleisten, wird eine Theorie adaptiven Verhaltens benötigt. In der Entwicklungsrobotik und verkörperten künstlichen Intelligenz wird Verhalten als emergentes Phänomen auf der fortlaufenden dynamischen Interaktion zwischen Agent, Körper und Umgebung betrachtet. Die Arbeit untersucht Roboter, die in der Lage sind, schnell und selbständig einfache Bewegungen auf Grundlage sensomotorischer Information zu erlernen. Das langfristige Ziel dabei ist die Wiederverwendung gelernter Fertigkeiten in späteren Lernprozessen um damit ein komplexes Interaktionsrepertoire mit der Welt entstehen zu lassen, das durch Entwicklungsprozesse vollständig und fortwährend adaptiv in der sensomotorischen Erfahrung verankert ist. Unter Verwendung von Methoden des maschinellen Lernens, der Neurowissenschaft, Statistik und Physik wird die Frage in die Komponenten Repräsentation, Exploration, und Lernen zerlegt. Es wird ein Gefüge für die systematische Variation und Evaluation von Modellen errichtet. Das vorgeschlagene Rahmenwerk behandelt die prozedurale Erzeugung von Hypothesen als Flussgraphen über einer festen Menge von Funktionsbausteinen, was die Modellsuche durch nahtlose Anbindung über simulierte und physikalische Systeme hinweg ermöglicht. Ein Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt auf dem kausalen Fussabdruck des Agenten in der sensomotorischen Zeit. Dahingehend wird ein probabilistisches graphisches Modell vorgeschlagen um Infor- mationsflussnetzwerke in sensomotorischen Daten zu repräsentieren. Das Modell wird durch einen auf informationtheoretischen Grössen basierenden Lernalgorithmus ergänzt. Es wird ein allgemeines Modell für Entwicklungslernen auf Basis von Echtzeit-Vorhersagelernen präsentiert und anhand dreier Variationen näher besprochen.
The interaction of machines with their environment should be reliable, safe, and ecologically adequate. To ensure this over long-term complex scenarios, a theory of adaptive behavior is needed. In developmental robotics, and embodied artificial intelligence behavior is regarded as a phenomenon that emerges from an ongoing dynamic interaction between entities called agent, body, and environment. The thesis investigates robots that are able to learn rapidly and on their own, how to do primitive motions, using sensorimotor information. The long-term goal is to reuse acquired skills when learning other motions in the future, and thereby grow a complex repertoire of possible interactions with the world, that is fully grounded in, and continually adapted to sensorimotor experience through developmental processes. Using methods from machine learning, neuroscience, statistics, and physics, the question is decomposed into the relationship of representation, exploration, and learning. A framework is provided for systematic variation and evaluation of models. The proposed framework considers procedural generation of hypotheses as scientific workflows using a fixed set of functional building blocks, and allows to search for models by seamless evaluation in simulation and real world experiments. Additional contributions of the thesis are related to the agent's causal footprint in sensorimotor time. A probabilistic graphical model is provided, along with an information-theoretic learning algorithm, to discover networks of information flow in sensorimotor data. A generic developmental model, based on real time prediction learning, is presented and discussed on the basis of three different algorithmic variations.

Abstract:
We study to what extent the “constraints-led approach” (CLA) in physical education can also be applied to skills teaching for law students. In the CLA athletes are challenged to finding their own movement solutions in a dynamic setting rather than responding to verbal cues in a fixed environment. Similarly, we experimented with the implicit acquisition of policy analysis skills in law students in preparation for pro bono client work in so-called law clinics. Although the project was cut short due to Covid-19 circumstances, preliminary outcomes suggest students feel better equipped to working with clients. We provisionally conclude that CLA skills teaching has the potential to improve skill acquisition in clinical legal education.

Abstract:
This study responded to one key research question: What are the accountability relationships between the actors in implementing the 3Rs curriculum reform? A qualitative research approach informed the study, using key informant interviews, focus group discussion and document review. The data were analysed using thematic and content analysis. The study established that the key actors in implementing the 3Rs curriculum are the government institutions and the development partners. These actors provide teaching, learning materials and support in the provision of in-service teacher training. Yet, the pupils’ and teachers’ materials prepared by the donor programmes were never authorised by the Commissioner for Education. The study also found that the implementation of the 3Rs was very uneven across the country, with some regions receiving support from both the government and donors, and others receiving support from the government only. Consequently, schools in areas that were exposed to more than one type of support benefited from various teaching and learning materials, which led to confusion regarding when to use them. Moreover, the initiatives by several donors exclusively focus on public schools, which use Kiswahili as the medium of instruction and hence, there existed inequality across the various types of schools. Furthermore, the funds for implementing the reform were provided by both the development partners and the government. The Global Partnership for Education (GPE)—Literacy and Numeracy Education Support (LANES) Program— provided a large proportion of the funds. However, the funds remained insufficient to meet the training needs. As a result, the training was provided for only few days and to a few teachers. Consequently, the sustainability of the reform, in the absence of donor funding, remains largely questionable.
