德国职业教育实训教学环节的优势分析及其对我国的启示

德国职业教育实训教学环节和我国职业教育相比较有明显优势,实训教学所占课时比例很大,学生动手能力很强,教学计划完善,教学任务由浅入深,循序渐进完成,能系统的完成技能教学任务。实训教学环节的师生比合理,实训教学设备与学生比例合理,实训教学环境的情景模拟真实。相比较我国职业教育存在的问题,实训教学课时量较少;实训教学的师资水平较差;实训教师严重不足;实训师生比过大;实训设备数量少;难以达到教学效果。建议加大实训设备投入,采用岗位轮班制,增加学生动手实践时间;建立双师型教师培养制度和激励制度;加强教学研究,制定科学可行的实训教学计划。

Turning Over Turnover

Abstract

Human service programs often have major problems ensuring that all direct-care staff positions are filled and keeping staff members after they are hired. Work schedules may have an effect on maintaining the longevity of staff. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a revised direct-care staff-scheduling system in community homes serving adults with developmental disabilities. The revised direct-care staffing system, which used shift-style schedules, was compared on a variety of measures to existing staffing systems and to a staffing model using married couples and adaptations of the Teaching-Family Model (called Family-Teaching homes). The revised staff-scheduling system was evaluated before and after its implementation and then compared to the Family-Teaching homes using direct-care employee measures of: (1) turnover; (2) position vacancies; (3) number of different employees paid within a pay period; (4) average hourly wages; (5) number of hours worked; (6) average cost for employees per person served; and (7) employee satisfaction. The various staffing approaches were also compared on measures of parent/legal guardian satisfaction and overall program quality. The revised staff-scheduling system was superior when compared to the previous staff-scheduling system on measures of turnover (43% less), vacancies (57% fewer), number of direct-care employees involved in the care of the persons served (13% fewer), and hourly wages (8% more). All of this was achieved without affecting staff-to-client ratios. While these changes were positive, the Family-Teaching homes were associated with significantly better direct-care staff stability and lower costs.     

Scandalous Care: Interpreting Public Enquiry Reports of Scandals in Residential Care

ABSTRACT

This article reviews an earlier study written for the Wagner Committee (1988) on scandals in residential care. That review was based on a study of ten enquiry reports, only two of which were about homes for older people. The main events that were described are grouped as: institutionalised practices, indifference and neglect, physical cruelty, humiliation, too authoritarian a life-style, a dull and depressing life-style, an overcrowded and run down environment, disharmony amongst the staff team, and staff misappropriating goods or money. Now, more weight should be given to: residents' abuse of residents and of staff, an improper influence on the life-style of others, and sexual abuse. Explanations proposed are: structural, environmental, and individual and worker style. Abuse is considered in the context of the nature of direct care and the acts of intimate caring of others.     

文化误译与翻译教学中跨文化意识的培养
