A longitudinal study of students in the Training and Development program at Curtin University of Technology has been undertaken in an attempt to develop a framework which describes the dimensions of pedagogical effectiveness in online teaching and learning. The research began in 2004, and data have been collected from the sample group of students in the program from 2004–2007. As a result of analysis and review of the findings, the Online Pedagogical Effectiveness Framework (OPEF) emerged incrementally. The new framework challenges the traditional importance placed on the centrality of teaching skills and the need for student interaction in online teaching and learning, which according to this study, diminished over time. This has ramifications for the interchangeability of the roles of teacher, learner, and instructional designer peers and colleagues.

Development of the Northrop Grumman / Rolls-Royce WR21 Intercooled Recuperated (ICR) Gas Turbine, begun in 1992, is now well advanced and system testing has been completed on eight engine builds at the Royal Navy’s Admiralty Test House located at the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, Pyestock in the United Kingdom. Test activity is shortly to move to the US Navy’s Test Site at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division – Ship Systems Engineering Station in Philadelphia, PA, where a new test facility has been built to carry out some final development testing and an endurance test. A previous paper on this subject (94-GT-186) defined a test program leading to a design review and the beginning of Qualification Testing. The development program has since evolved and it is the aim of this paper to summarize engine testing to date and set out the plan for conclusion of development testing. The paper will describe the development of the Philadelphia Test Site, as a combined site for the US Navy’s Integrated Power System (IPS) and ICR testing. This will include a description of the advanced, high-accuracy Data Acquisition System (DAS). Finally, the test program and the development and endurance test objectives will be outlined.

Aspek yang perlu diberi tumpuan dalam usaha mendidik dan membangun usahawan bumiputera Muslim, antaranya ialah sikap usahawan, kemahiran mengurus dan program pendidikan dan latihan yang berterusan. Kegagalan dalam tiga aspek ini akan menghalang daya tahan dan daya saing usahawan bumiputera Muslim berbanding usahawan bangsa lain. Usaha melahirkan usahawan yang menghayati nilai dan etika Islam dilihat semakin mendesak memandangkan keperluan serta cabaran mendatang dan persaingan yang ada. Oleh itu kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti keperluan pendidikan berterusan dalam memantapkan budaya niaga dan pembangunan keusahawanan Bumiputera Muslim PKS. Data kajian diperolehi melalui borang soal selidik dan temu bual bersama usahawan PKS yang menerima pembiayaan MARA di negeri Johor. Rresponden lain yang terlibat adalah usahawan Bumiputera PKS yang bukan penerima pembiayaan MARA, Pegawai MARA daerah yang mengelolakan pembiayaan, program latihan dan pembangunan serta usahawan Bumiputera yang berjaya. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan faktor kritikal kelemahan usahawan bumiputera adalah dipengaruhi oleh latar belakang dan pengalaman individu, sikap, nilai dan etika keusahawanan, pengetahuan dan kemahiran pengurusan, program pendidikan dan pembangunan keusahawanan dan desakan ‘birokrasi’ dan persekitaran. Kajian ini juga mengemukakan satu model pendidikan, latihan dan pembangunan usahawan Bumiputera Muslim berteraskan nilai dan etika Islam. Kata kunci: Pembelajaran sepanjang hayat; keusahawanan; Bumiputera Muslim; perusahaan kecil dan sederhana (PKS) Aspects need to focus in educating and developing Muslim bumiputera entrepreneurs, among others are their attitudes, management skills and continuous education and training programs. Neglecting these three aspects could jeopardise sustainability of Muslim bumiputera entrepreneur as compared to entrepreneur of other races. Simultaneously efforts of inculcating Muslim bumiputera entrepreneur with Islamic business ethics are timely as to make them stay competitive in facing with the current business challenge. Thus this study is to identify the need of continuous education program in strengthening praise able business culture in developing SME Muslim bumiputera entrepreneurs. The data in this study are obtained through interviewing and circulating a set of questionnaire to SME bumiputera entrepreneurs who received sponsor from MARA in the state of Johor as well as those whom do not receive sponsor from MARA. Besides, few official from MARA who are responsible on handling the loan and training were also selected as respondents in this research. The finding of the research shows that critical factors that contribute to the weaknesses of bumiputera entrepreneurs are their background, experience, ethic value and attitude towards entrepreneurship, knowledge and management skill, education and entrepreneur’s development program and bureaucracy. This study proposed a model of education, entrepreneur training and development program base on Islamic values and ethics.

Understand the importance of communication during the change process. Successful approaches used when implementing change, such as the Lewin model and Kotter 8. The obstacles to change, including resistance and adverse reactions to change and connecting employees, as well as the causes of resistance when implementing a change. Case overview/synopsis The Crown Prince’s Court is an independent government entity established in 1971, providing support to the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi with the help of almost 300 employees. The Training and Career Development subsection headed by Sumaya Al Saedi decided to initiate an online training and development program for employees. Given that national service, maternity leave and emergency leave had led to working pressure and less training and development for the employees, Sumaya and her team realized that few employees were registering for the course and few of those that did register actually completed their course. Several causes were identified that had led to employees avoiding the online courses. Work pressure and technical issues were among the most salient reasons that kept registered employees from completing the course. The lack of policies at an institutional level to aid changes in training structures reduced the number of employees who felt that they could register for the courses. Therefore, Sumaya and her team had to decide how to attract their employees to online courses and how to support them. Complexity academic level This case study was written for Change Management courses in Bachelor of Business Administration programs. This case examines employee resistance to change when implementing a new system. It can, therefore, be used for undergraduate-level courses. As it concerns employees during the implementation of changes, this case study can be used to help students develop their planning and implementation skills. By focusing on internal departmental challenges, students are introduced to the change process of implementing an initiative and how to deal with employees in the organization. Supplementary materials Teaching Notes are available for educators only. Subject code CSS 6: Human Resource Management.

The Training and Development Scheme (TDS) is an affirmative action-based program located in the Greater Durban Area of Kwazulu-Natal. The program was conceived in 1992 to address the racial and gender disparities in the Durban Metropolitan Area. At the time the Scheme was introduced, the transition from an apartheid city council to a non-racial council had yet to take place, and the uneven racial and gender employment patterns were all too evident. The TDS would be one of the mechanisms to address the under-representation of Black (Indian, Colored, and African) employees in the management cadre of local and provincial government. The Training and Development Scheme has since evolved from a small affirmative action pilot project into a comprehensive human resource development program with additional objectives and partnerships. It is envisaged that at the end of the 1997–98 program, approximately 145 participants would have graduated from the Scheme. The participants would have been provided with education and training that complies with the requirements of the National Qualifications Framework and is dynamically linked to the broader institutional transformational issues of local and provincial government management. The Training and Development Scheme has since been upgraded and since 1998, has been offered as a Post-Graduate Diploma in Public Administration (Development Management) by the School of Public Policy and Development Management of the University of Durban-Westville.
