Self-assessment: a study of progress in Europe's leading organizations in quality management practices

1996

Reports a European study on the use of quality management self‐assessment. Data have been obtained from 117 organizations who, in general, have some experiences of self‐assessment methods. Among the main findings were the identification of the steps which are considered to be a key influence on the success of the self‐assessment process and what have been the main learning points. Points out that organizations are using self‐assessment mainly to identify strengths and weaknesses and also to facilitate internal and external learning in terms of transfer of best practice and ideas.

Driver training interests of a Spanish sample of young drivers and its relationship with their self-assessment skills concerning risky driving behavi…

2013

Abstract Poor driving self-assessment skills (e.g., over-confidence) have been pointed out as an important explanatory factor behind young drivers’ accident involvement. This paper explores (1) what young drivers miss in their training as drivers in order to analyze whether an assessment of one's own driving skills plays an important role in their desire to improve as drivers, and (2) how these training interests are related to an estimate of their self-assessment skills concerning risky driving behavior. For this purpose, a study was conducted using a survey with a blocked sampling design of novice drivers. The survey solicited respondents’ self-report about (1) the contents of training co…

Effects of the Best Possible Self intervention: A systematic review and meta-analysis

2019

The Best Possible Self (BPS) exercise promotes a positive view of oneself in the best possible future, after working hard towards it. Since the first work that attempted to examine the benefits of this intervention in 2001, studies on the BPS have grown exponentially and, currently, this is one of the most widely used Positive Psychology Interventions. However, little is yet known about its overall effectiveness in increasing wellbeing outcomes. Thus, the aim of this meta-analysis is to shed light on this question. A systematic literature search was conducted, and 29 studies (in 26 articles) met the inclusion criteria of empirically testing the intervention and comparing it to a control con…

Design of a university course quality by Teaching Experiments and Student Feedback (TESF)

2009

Quality of the academic system must be constantly monitored, especially under conditions of growing competition and limited resources. Those who are interested in quality, doing research and teaching on it, should ensure quality of the processes for which they are responsible. Teaching is one of the primary services offered by a university. For it, all fundamental principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) must be valid. In this article the authors propose a methodology for designing the quality of a university course, considered as a basic service of a complex educational system. The methodology is based on the concurrent use of teaching experiments performed by a teacher, and the SERVQU…

Objective: Supportive care needs in glioma patients often remain unrecognized, and optimization in assessment is required. First, we aimed at assessing the support needed using a simple structured questionnaire. Second, we investigated the psychosocial burden and support requested from caregivers. Methods: Patients were assessed at three centers during their outpatient visits. They completed the Distress Thermometer (DT; score ≥ 6 indicated significant burden in brain tumor patients), the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ)-C30+BN20, and the Patients' Perspective Questionnaire (PPQ) that assessed psychosocial distress as well …

L'autovalutazione delle Soft skills organizzativo-gestionali e relazionali degli insegnanti

2018

L’interesse della ricerca anche in ambito internazionale converge sempre più sulla necessità di estendere la conoscenza dei fabbisogni formativi e professionali ad un’ampia gamma di competenze trasversali ritenute fondamentali per lo sviluppo personale e professionale del docente. Quali competenze connotano il docente professionista oggi? Quali azioni e dispositivi di autovalutazione possono supportarne lo sviluppo professionale? Il concetto di competenza rimanda ad una serie di conoscenze specialistiche necessarie, ma non più sufficienti per la formazione degli insegnanti: le competenze specialistiche necessitano di essere “orientate e finalizzate da metacompetenze progressivamente affinat…

Progettare, scegliere, risolvere problemi: il tirocinio nella formazione universitaria per il docente inclusivo

2020

Con questo lavoro si è inteso conoscere ed analizzare gli esiti del percorso di tirocinio organizzato presso l’Università di Palermo, durante il quarto ciclo del corso per la specializzazione all’insegnamento di sostegno nella scuola dell’infanzia e nella scuola primaria. L’attività formativa, realizzata da luglio 2019 a marzo 2020, ha avuto come obiettivo lo sviluppo in 522 docenti delle seguenti capacità: progettare piani d’azione in risposta ai bisogni educativi speciali osservati; valutare modalità d’insegnamento e trasformare i costrutti teorici sull’inclusione educativa in prassi. La ricerca ha inteso rilevare se e come il tirocinio sia stato efficace per offrire ai futuri docenti di …

Relationship between cognitive and driving self-assessments in older drivers. Result of epidemiological and experimental on-road studies in france

2015

TRANSED 2015 - 14th International Conference on Mobility and Transport for Elderly and Disabled Persons, LISBONNE, PORTUGAL, 28-/07/2015 - 31/07/2015; Most older drivers are able to efficiently self-regulate their own driving practices, that means reducing driving exposure and avoiding the most challenging driving conditions such as driving at night or in poor weather or at complex intersections. We hypothesized that this self-regulation might exist only if older drivers have accurate insight into their own age-related functional and cognitive decline. This study aims to evaluate how well self-estimation of cognitive ability of older corresponds to their actual driving performance, as asses…
