Alternative formats of professional development may be needed to improve teacher perceived utility.
Applying this method, we extracted 1736 guideline attributes from 278 articles into a consensus-based set of categories, and collapsed them into 5 core conceptual domains for our guideline implementability map: Language, Format, Rigor of development, Feasibility, Decision-making.
Using a consensus approach among the two groups of investigators via discussions of the attribute definitions and their similarities and relationships, the final set of 27 categories (Table 2) were further grouped into 5 broad dimensions associated with the uptake or use of guidelines: Language, Format, Rigor of Development, Feasibility, Decision-making.
We used a systematic process of analysis to build a conceptual map of guideline implementability through the classification of 1736 attributes into a consensus-based set of categories, which were then collapsed into 5 core conceptual domains of guideline implementability: Language, Format, Rigor of development, Feasibility, Decision-making.
We recently showed that serodiagnosis of Johne's disease with ethanol extract of MAP can be done in two minutes by a capacitance biosensor which may be a potential format for development of an on-site test for bovine TB using the M. bovis extract [ 27, 28].
Where necessary, all outcomes extracted from the validation sample will be transformed to match the format of the development sample.
These huge datasets including variation data are often available from the original sources in a variety of formats requiring the development of various methods to integrate, archive and display these data in a consistent fashion.
This freedom of choosing data formats necessitates the development of several pattern recognition templates in the form of regular expressions to handle diverse formats (co-ordinates separated by space, comma, tab etc).
The US Department of Labor published a set of guidelines for grantees in their Trade Adjustment Assistance and Community College Career Training grant program for use of open file formats in the development of OER.
However, the work also provides other tangible benefits, e.g., as the data is provided in a machine-processable, language-agnostic format, the development of new, complementary representations and novel software systems is enabled.
