Establish criteria for selection of PLWHAs who will be involved in the school-based project and indicate the competencies they should have.
A rank of "1" indicates the competency which had the largest mean gap.
Cells marked with an 'A' indicate that the competency was specifically assessed.
The investigation was also designed to generate information regarding the behaviours, expertise and operational skills that the same group of teachers employs in teaching multicultural classes, and to determine whether the practices they describe indicate the possession of intercultural competencies.
The hours were also colour coded to indicate the category of core competencies covered, which paralleled those mandated by the national accreditation bodies.
The AHD hours are also colour coded to indicate the category of core competencies covered under the CanMEDS 2005 framework, including medical expert (ME, or white boxes in the original map), manager (M, or gold boxes), scholar (S, or rose boxes), and professional skills (P, or grey boxes).
Numerous surveys from various fields of education indicate the great importance of subject-specific prior knowledge for the development of competencies (e.g. Stern 2001).
Figure 2 clearly indicates the strongly heterogeneous competency spectrum of this vocational school.
The overall results indicate that the selection competency of the bureaucrats administrating the program is at level with that of private banks, and possibly also of that of venture funds.
The decision to use rating scales alone aligns with the idea that mastery of the parts (ie, discrete skills on a checklist) does not indicate competency of the whole.
