Further investigation is needed to determine the specific laboratory management needs of agricultural education teachers. The theoretical foundation which guided this study was Bandura's theory of self-efficacy (1997). To further align this theory with this study, researchers explored the beliefs and one's capabilities to organize and excute the course of action to manage an agricultural mechanics laboratory. The research objectives for this study were: Determine the self-perceived level(s) of importance and ability as related to agricultural mechanics laboratory management competencies and determine the professional development needs of Iowa school-based agricultural education teachers regarding agricultural mechanics laboratory management competencies. Results of the Mean Weighted Discrepancy Scores (MWDS) indicated teacher's greatest in-service needs revolved around hazardous laboratory conditions and materials. The competencies which ranked the highest included correcting hazardous laboratory conditions, safely disposing of hazardous materials, properly installing and maintaining safety devices and emergency equipment, safely handling hazardous materials, and safely storing hazardous materials. Agricultural education teachers need professional development in the realm of hazardous conditions within the confines of an agricultural mechanics laboratory and handling hazardous materials. Working with hazardous materials is a critical competency agricultural educators must have when managing any type of laboratory.

Abstract Introduction/Objective The cytopathology laboratory is one of the most highly regulated clinical laboratories. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) milestones include competencies in laboratory management. Additionally, many cytology fellows will be involved in laboratory management after finishing training. Therefore, it is imperative to incorporate formal laboratory management training for cytology fellows. Our cytopathology department implemented a formal laboratory management curriculum this year, with emphasis placed on the milestones (1.0 and 2.0) provided by the ACGME. Methods/Case Report The curriculum is divided into seven modules extending throughout the fellowship year (August-April). The modules include hand-off communication, process improvement, laboratory accreditation (introduction, intermediate, advanced) and error management (introduction, intermediate). Each module has two components: self-study of assigned reading materials and online courses, followed by an interactive session with faculty and/or laboratory personnel. Several engaging, high-quality resources are used including Institute for Healthcare Improvement Open School, modules from professional organizations, PubMed articles, National Quality Forum, departmental committees and mock inspections. Each module is followed by an interactive session to review policies, procedures and/or checklists. The fellows also spend time in the cytology laboratory preparation area and participate in Quality Improvement meetings. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) The fellowship director discusses the educational expectations at the start of each module. Evidence of compliance is demonstrated by uploading all of the completed assignments to MedHub (a web- based training management system) at the end of the module. All of the modules include self-assessment questions that are reviewed by the fellowship director. Conclusion Our cytopathology laboratory introduced a structured laboratory management curriculum. This curriculum fulfills some of the laboratory management competencies put forth in the ACGME milestones. This curriculum will also help to prepare fellows to confidently participate in cytology laboratory management as they enter the workforce.

Learning Laboratories

Laboratory is one of the important facilities in the teaching and learning process, as a place to study or as a source of learning, laboratories must have a comfortable and safe nature. A laboratory that is comfortable means that the needs or needs to carry out activities are available in the appropriate place or are easily accessible if used and used. Whereas laboratories that are safe means that all storage of hazardous materials and dangerous activities has been prepared and anticipated. Laboratory management will run more effectively if the laboratory structure is supported by elements including the head / head of the laboratory, practicum coordinator, Education Laboratory/ Technician / Laboran / Analyst staff and laboratory staff The purpose of laboratory management is to create an atmosphere of microbiology laboratories, especially those that are comfortable and safe for users which include students, researchers and visitors to the laboratory and staff who manage the laboratory. The method used is quantitative based on literature studies (metaanalisis). Framework for meta-analysis concepts based on the determination of layout and space, management of tools and materials, order and laboratory safety It is expected that the implementation of good management in the laboratory will create a safe and comfortable laboratory atmosphere. Based on the results above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between management and good governance with a safe and comfortable atmosphere for users and laboratory managers
