However, when knowledge of Biostatistics was assessed again 3 months after course completion, the increase in knowledge compared to baseline was similar among students in the on-site and on-line formats (16% gain and 12% gain, respectively; p = 0.59).
The emergence of the de facto CoP has probably enhanced the completion of some knowledge activities, but is not enough to assure the success of all projects, especially the most ambitious ones.
Students registered completion of knowledge activities using the form that appeared when clicking on the corresponding target.
All participants scored high on the knowledge level questions after completion of the two-day course and reported a high level of self-efficacy expectation in terms of the ability to recognize the signs and symptoms of CFS.
When assessed immediately following course completion, the median gain in Research Ethics knowledge compared to baseline was similar among students participating in the on-site course format (15% median knowledge gain), compared to students participating in the on-line course format (10% median knowledge gain; p = 0.19).
When assessed immediately following course completion, the median gain in Biostatistics knowledge compared to baseline was higher among students participating in the on-site course format (28% median knowledge gain), than those in the on-line course format (11% median knowledge gain; p = 0.02) (Table 2).
Overall, trainees retained much of the knowledge acquired from the workshop one month after its completion.
Overall, participants retained much of the knowledge acquired from the workshop one month after its completion.
The essential point seems to be that the development and expansion of empirical knowledge is always, as it were, "already" guided by the rational interests in securing unity and completion of knowledge.
In accordance with reason's demand, the understanding is guided and led to secure systematic unity and completion of knowledge.
