The study was conducted to investigate the contribution of entrepreneurship education in technical training colleges in enhancing management skills of informal sector entrepreneurs in Kenya. A case study of informal sector operators in Nairobi was conducted. Qualitative data was collected using in-depth interviews and observations. The data was analyzed using the grounded theory. Findings of the study showed that the informal sector operators used skills they gained in entrepreneurship education in technical training colleges to gain access to the informal sector industry and to manage their business. Those with higher training in entrepreneurship education tended to excel in their operations. A closer look showed that there was still a need for further training of management skills to better their activities. The recommendations were that secondary schools in Kenya should include entrepreneurship in secondary education system curriculum so as to help the school leavers who fail to join tertiary education and end up in the informal sector.

Abstract Objective – To discover public library clients’ needs and preferences for modes of training on the use of the Internet and the libraries’ online resources and to apply these findings to improve training offered by public library staff. Design – Multiple exploratory case study. Setting – Two public libraries in New South Wales, Australia: a regional library (Mudgee Branch of the Mid-Western Regional Council Library Service) and a metropolitan library (Marrickville Central Library). Subjects – A total of 24 public library clients. The participants were split evenly between the two libraries, with 12 from the Mudgee Branch and 12 from the Marrickville Central. The respondents were further subdivided into two groups based on age (35 to 44 years old and 65 or older) and evenly distributed by sex within the groups. Methods – This study used naturalistic inquiry to frame the multiple exploratory case study of two public libraries. Ruthven used maximum variation sampling to guide the selection of participants. Library staff helped the researcher to identify possible participants at Marrickville, while the researcher advertised for participants at Mudgee Library and at an Internet/database course taught at the Mudgee Business Enterprise Centre. She used snowball sampling to find additional participants at both sites. Ruthven conducted semi-structured interviews with the participants, with questions covering their preferences, recommendations, and needs for online resource training. The data from the interviews and search logs were analyzed using inductive data analysis. Main Results – Participants preferred small group, face-to-face, formalized instruction for initial training on online resources. For further training, participants preferred individualized assistance and immediate support instead of formal classes. They noted a lack of training opportunities and a lack of help from library staff as sources of frustration when trying to learn to use online resources at the public libraries. Conclusion – Public library staff should offer formalized classes for those beginning to learn about using online resources, and focus on ad hoc, individualized assistance for more advanced learners. Since offering this type of instructional program is dependent on staff knowledge and staff availability, library staff members need to be trained in the use of online resources and classroom presentation skills.

The development of technology has been very rapid and the curriculum has lagged far behind. This requires a curriculum change. SMK has made this change but in its development it is no longer relevant. Teachers as the spearhead of successful learning in schools must have competencies that are relevant to the development needs of the industry. This activity aims to improve the ability of Accounting MGMP teachers in West Sumatra province in learning computer accounting (Accurate). The approach taken in this research is a case study. The training process starts from application installation, creation of new company files, input transactions, and preparation of financial reports. The activity went well, but some teachers still needed further training and a whatsapp group was formed for further discussion. The obstacles faced were participants who were not familiar with computers.

Insomnia Treatment

Abstract Introduction Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, 10–30% of adults have regular difficulties falling and/or staying asleep that cause significant daytime impairments. General Practitioner (GP) clinical guidelines recommend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia (CBTi) as the first-line treatment rather than medications. However, most GPs do not have the time or training to administer CBTi, and consequently, many patients are prescribed sedative-hypnotic medicines. Psychologists have training in CBT and may be well placed to deliver behavioural therapy for insomnia. However, the amount of sleep-specific training, and knowledge of CBTi among Australian psychologists remains unknown. Identifying key barriers and enablers in the management of insomnia within psychology provides a first step in engaging with psychologists about the delivery of evidence-based insomnia treatment. Methods This qualitative study used a pragmatic inductive approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 26 Australian psychologists. Interviews included case study scenarios to provide an in-depth exploration of psychologists’ knowledge and skills in the management of insomnia, and attitudes towards further training in CBTi. Interview transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis to identify themes. Results Preliminary themes identified in the data include; psychologists believe sleep is important for general well-being, insomnia is usually seen as secondary to other co-morbid disorders such as depression and anxiety that are the focus of treatment, most psychologists surveyed lack training and knowledge in CBTi. Discussion Most Australian psychologists are not well prepared to manage insomnia effectively with CBTi. Along with other primary health care professionals, psychologists need training in the management of insomnia.

This study investigated how a further training and education (FTE) institution manages the culture of quality. The paper sought to adopt a total quality approach in which all of the aspects were assessed and evaluated at FTE colleges, with a view to formulating recommendations to improve quality in most colleges in Gauteng province in South Africa. Various parameters that impact on quality were investigated such as teaching aids, the learning environment, utilisation of technology and better communication skills.

Emotional And Behavioural Difficulties

This study explores teachers' awareness of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) in primary schools. Data was collected through questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews carried out with teachers teaching Years 2, 3, and 4. This study revealed that teachers who supported students with SEBD were more aware of strategies to be used in the classroom than those who never supported such students. However, the strategies adopted were largely self-devised. These included establishing a good relationship with the student and keeping daily routines consistent. All respondents expressed the desire to be provided with further training opportunities. Training would help teachers gain a deeper understanding of SEBD and develop strategies to manage such challenges more effectively.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.
