-the frequency of training sessions per week
-the _____of training sessions
-the topics covered
-whether or not consumers were discussed
length
Which of the following statements are true regarding the results of this study?
(Select all that apply)
-The pyramidal training group showed a greater increase in the mean percentage of correct teaching procedures than the consultant-led training group.
-The consultant-led group showed an increase in the mean percentage of correct teaching procedures.
The consultant-led
group maintained the mean percentage of correct teaching interactions at the 3-month follow up.
-The pyramidal group maintained the mean percentage of correct teaching interactions at the 3-month follow up.
-the pyramidal training group showed a greater increase in the mean percentage of correct teaching procedures than the consultant-led training group
-They pyramidal group maintained the mean percentage of correct teaching interactions at the 3-month follow up.
-the consultant-led group showed an increase in the mean percentage of correct teaching procedures
Which of the following conclusions are discussed by the authors?
(Select all that apply)
Scores on the tests indicate that supervisors can be effective trainings when provided with good training materials and training.
Scores on the tests indicated that the effectiveness of the training conducted by supervisors was comparable to the training provided by an experienced outside consultant.
Training staff without systematic feedback may be insufficient for durable staff behavior change.
The staff taught different skills to different consumers which indicates that the tools learned could be generalized to different consumers, settings, and community skills.
all of the above
Which of the following were discussed as limitations of the current study?
(Select all that apply)
Reactivity might have been responsible for increased performance in the pyramidal group.
The pyramidal group discussed and related training materials to work-related activities which could have helped staff to learn the skills; this could be the variable responsible for the effect.
There were several differences in the two groups such as the number of weeks of training, presence of an observer, and whether there were two trainers or one.
Treatment integrity was not examined through observation of training by unbiased observers.
